"The Grand Hotel is a mediocre, apparently 5*, hotel. I have stayed in 3* hotels which have been much better. In Naples, Parkers Hotel is far superior.
The ‘superior’ room whilst reasonably spacious was drab and had no facility for making hot drinks. It was located on the side of the hotel and the balcony overlooked what seemed to be a massive taxi rank. The receptionist said she had upgraded us from a Classic room although we had actually paid for and reserved a Superior room on Expedia. The bathroom was small and cramped with a conventional hose shower in a small cubicle. There was little space to hang towels or anything else.
The buffet breakfast was standard for this type of hotel.
A few members of staff were helpful.
There seemed to be a very close relationship between the taxi drivers and some of the door men who preferred to discuss the fare in Neapolitan.
