Grand Hotel Parker's

The best always! Best service and stay! I always prefer to stay at parkers because of the amazing service and its safe.

The hotel has a spectacular view of the Bay of Naples. The rooms are comfortable. The hotel personnel are all very friendly and helpful. A taxi rank is just outside the door or, if you feel energetic, the seaside is a 15 minute walk. The breakfasts are superb . Other meals are very good. I would definitely stay again.

This hotel is a gem. The property is beautiful. Classic but restored and well mantained. Roons are comfortable and updated but also keeping the classical luxury flair. The terrace is gorgeous, overseeing all the Napoli bay. Precious views. We were there for New Years Eve and the views were spectacular, seeing all the fireworks. You can enjoy this view every day because breakfast happens in that space every morning. But the very best of the hotel is the attention to the details: employees are all the time trying that you feel home and pampered. They come out with surprises linked to the hotel history. Employees are very commited and some of them have been working at the hotel for many years and they are experts on taking care of a luxury hotel guests. The property of the hotel is still a family that has owned the hotel for very long and you can see how passionste they are about being hoteliers. The hotel is quite close to the city center (Piazza del Plebiscito is at 20 minutes walking through the beautiful Chiaia district) but it stil gives a break from the crazy Napoli old town. I’ve been to many hotels because of my work but this place has stolen my heart for all the care of the details and for how special is the place. If I ever go back to Napoli, this will be my hotel again with no hesitation. If you want to enjoy Napoli and be pampered, this is the place!! Thank you for everything, Grand Hotel Parker’s!

On arrival, we were greeted by Marco who was the perfect host. Charming, knowledgeable and courteous. I made a very good choice because the view of the Vesuvius and the bay of Naples from the bedroom was beautiful(junior suite). Great bed and pillows for us walkers :) the best; that is the reason for the 4 stars. The restaurant, Bidder was very good the 1st night; we were served by Adriano, who was for us the best waitstaff of our 4 days discovery of Naples and around. A very knowledgeable and welcoming server, smiling thru out service. We had to try the original pizza and how tasty that was. The stewed beef was the best dish from the menu for us as we ordered it 3 times! yes, not much choice for us. Tried the pasta dishes and that was the 1st time in Italy that the pastas were almost raw. From Venice, Florence, and Rome all pasta dishes were al dente. The last day, we tried again, and this time the pasta were al dente. A pizza that I loved was the Filette I think; 1st time was delicious, 2nd time the tomatoes and cheese were added at the last minute which means that the tomatoes and cheese didn't have the kiss of the heat. Very inconsistent! the worst was our breakfast. That was the worst team in Italy by far. When seated, we were not given the menu. We had a beautiful view of the bay so relax. Waitstaff were coming and going but nobody talked to us even though the terrace was not full. After 15 min, we tried to ask a waitress who told us to wait for the captain. So captain comes and well no menu, so we can't order but please coffee... so all in all, we waited 25 minutes for a cappuccino... ordered eggs Benedict; one egg for each of us?!?! Hollandaise didn't taste fresh, the bread under the lonely egg was so hard we could not cut it, and the worst is that it was served COLD. Wanted to send the food back but couldn't find the captain. During our stay, we were not able to get small change for tipping as we could not add it to the bill. Only the last day, Marco's colleague make some change for us. The answer from a front desk person prior to that day, was that their office close on weekend so no change...We were eating there a few times as we booked some tours. Our choice of hotel was that we were the ones who spent the most time in the bus. Tour to Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi coast, which was memorable. Took the ferry to appreciate the Amalfi coast, something like 15 euro per person. The restaurant where we had lunch was beautiful with the view of the bay. We did not try the Georges Michelin restaurant as we were too tired after the tours. But thinking of the breakfast staff, we didn't want to try. 3 staff members we will remember with appreciation, was Adriano and the young bartender who made my Old Fashion and Marco. Some other waitstaff and front desk were nice as well. I have to apologize to the housekeeping as I did not have enough change and could not put that on the final bill. Totally forgot my bank card and well, could not remember passwords... In Italy, you need lots of small change for tips. tour guides, cabs, all hospitality workers...

We stayed at the Grand Hotel Parker's for two nights before moving on to the Amalfi Coast for our wedding, and it was an unexpected pleasure. Our focus being mostly on the impending wedding, we hadn't invested much time or effort investigating Naples or the hotel, but it turned out to be a real turn-of-the-century treasure with attentive service, comfortable historic rooms, a stunning view, and an outstanding restaurant. The neighborhood is quiet, within walking distance of some good cocktail bars and the seaside promenade as well as a train stop to get you into the heart of Naples within 10-20 minutes. You can also take a scenic walk along a hillside road to the Spanish Quarter and the museums beyond. Our room as well as the rooftop terrace had incredible views of the Bay of Naples, Vesuvius, and the city. The bathroom was modern and spacious, but the bedroom retained the old-world charm you would expect of an older building. We had considered the other 'Grand' hotels of Naples, and chose Parker's basically on a whim, but we were very glad we did-- it was a little taste of the Grand Tour at its greatest height, in a beautiful city.
