Grand Hotel Oriente

Grand Hotel Oriente is a four-star hotel at Via Armando Diaz 44, in the Port and Municipio area of Naples, Campania. The street links Piazza Municipio with the top of Via Toledo, so the hotel is central for visitors who want to move around on foot and by public transport. The Molo Beverello terminal for hydrofoils to Capri, Ischia and Procida is about ten minutes away, Castel Nuovo (Maschio Angioino) is next to Piazza Municipio, and the Teatro di San Carlo, Galleria Umberto I and Piazza del Plebiscito are a short walk. The Municipio stop on Metro Line 1 gives direct links to Garibaldi station, Toledo and the Vomero, and the Port's cruise terminal is close. The building is a traditional Italian city hotel with a formal, slightly old-fashioned style, and its main attraction is practicality rather than design. Rooms are offered as classic rooms, superior rooms and junior suites, with air conditioning and wifi. The hotel has a restaurant and a bar, and breakfast is a buffet in the morning; reception operates 24 hours, which suits early-morning ferry departures and late arrivals. The service is straightforward and geared toward business travellers, cruise passengers and tourists using Naples as a base for the bay's islands and archaeological sites. Nightly prices usually range from about €110 to €230 depending on season and room category. The immediate surroundings are busy with traffic and commuters during the day and quieter at night, but the pedestrianised areas around Via Toledo and Piazza Plebiscito offer evening dining and strolling. Visitors going to Pompeii, Herculaneum and Sorrento can reach the Circumvesuviana from Garibaldi station in around ten minutes by metro. Light sleepers should ask for a room facing away from Via Armando Diaz.
