Hotel Joyfull

Excelent service, very clean and tidy

We picked the hotel due to the low price and "hotel shuttle". As we neared the hotel in our taxi, the neighborhood was comically horrific: crumbling, empty, graffiti-covered buildings with trash everywhere. The hotel however, was quite nice. Very out-of-place, to be honest. Clean rooms. Quite modern and comfy. The air conditioning kept turning off and showing an error code. We turned it back on perhaps 5 times. Eventually it stayed on for the rest of the night. We almost didn’t go out to dinner due to the sketchy neighborhood, but thought we’d risk it as we checked some Trip Advisor reviews and everybody liked the restaurant up the street. I must say, the place, Alfredo’s was FANTASTIC! It made our stay. Only about 100 yards away. Tchotchkes all over the walls and ceiling. The staff was super friendly. The food, delicious! As it turns out, there was no hotel shuttle, so Hotwire needs to fix that part on their website. The desk clerk told us they would schedule us a taxi for the next morning and to expect the fare to be 19:50 euros. The taxi was right on time, and the fare was what we were told to expect. Ride to NAP was about 15 min. Some reviews mentioned a continental breakfast, but there wasn’t one, at least that day. All we got was coffee, but it was espresso, which the desk clerk made for us, and it was great! Bottom line: a great hotel if you’re arriving at the end of the day, want to eat a delicious meal, and leave the next morning on an early flight.
