Hotel Matilde

Hotel Matilde is a three-star guest-house style hotel at Piazzetta Matilde Serao 7, beside Galleria Umberto I in the Santa Lucia area of Naples, Campania, Italy. The piazzetta is named for the Neapolitan writer and journalist Matilde Serao and sits in the heart of the city's elegant district, a short walk from Via Toledo, Piazza Plebiscito, the Royal Palace, the Teatro San Carlo and Castel Nuovo. Municipio and Toledo metro stations are both within easy reach, and the Molo Beverello ferry terminal is a few minutes away on foot. The hotel is organised like a small guest house, and this gives it a more personal feel than a large chain property. Room types listed are double and triple rooms, with air conditioning and wifi, and a breakfast room serves the morning meal. The price range of roughly €80 to €150 per night is modest for such a central location, and the rating is about 4.3 out of 5. Dining options near the hotel are plentiful: the covered Galleria Umberto I has cafés, and the streets around Via Toledo and the Santa Lucia waterfront offer pizzerias, seafood restaurants and the historic Gran Caffè Gambrinus on Piazza Trieste e Trento. The hotel does not list a spa or pool. Service is leisure-oriented and friendly, with staff able to help with ferry times, transfers and excursions to Pompeii, Capri and the Amalfi Coast. A phone contact for reservations is published, and the hotel has its own website. As with most older buildings in the centre, guests should confirm room position when booking, because the pedestrian crowds and nightlife around the Galleria can generate noise in the evening. The property is well suited to travellers who value being able to walk to the main sights and the waterfront.
