호텔 율리세(Hotel Ulisse)

What do we look for in hotel accommodations? Cleanliness, safety, staff, comfort, location, food, and amenities. Hotel Ulisse (HU) is a family owned/runned business which we stumbled upon close to 20 years ago. A trip to visit our family in Naples wouldn’t be complete without visiting our “HU family” in Ischia! Our comments and ratings are based on it being a 3-star hotel. Cleanliness: For being one of the older buildings in the area, the complex is kept impeccably clean. The cleaning/maintence staff have consistently done an outstanding job and continue to do so. (A+) Safety: The areas, Ischia Pointe and Ischia Porto are very safe. The hotel has staff on duty 24/7 and the entrances are automatically locked at night. For those staying in the pool area cottages, you need to enter through the main entrance (as opposed to from the street) at night to gain entrance to this secured area. There are cameras as well. We feel very safe. (A+) Staff: What can we say? The staff is amazing and most if not all have been there for years. HU has very high standards and the very professional and highly focused staff always aims to please. We personally understand the difficulties that can occur within a family runned business and are grateful to every one who works hard to make our vacation so enjoyable. In order not to inadvertently forget someone, we acknowledge ALL staff with whom we had daily contact (you know who you are). Thank you!! (A+) Comfort: As mentioned above, HU is one of the older buildings so areas may seem small to some. Remember, if you’re priorities are lush and luxurious perhaps this isn’t for you. However, if the items on your checklist are more in line with ours, make your reservation now! Amenities: Flat screen tv, mini fridge, and safe in room, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi throughout, lobby bar, poolside dining area and snack bar, delicious food, two pools: one with hot water and the larger with cold water, roof top deck with incredible views! (A) Location: Right in the middle of two major districts. It’s doesn’t get better than that! To the left is Ischia Pointe where you can walk to the restaurants, shops, and of course the famous Castello. To the right is a little further walk (but not much) to the boutiques, shops, and restaurants. The road eventually winds around and you find yourself at the Porto where there are many outdoor restaurants with views of the marinas and super yachts. If you’re Catholic, there is a little church steps away from the hotel and another a few more steps away on the other direction. Depending on the route you take, the beach is a 5 minute walk. We like meandering our way through the alley in between the hotel building proper and the pool area. (A+) Food: As mentioned, there are many restaurants in Ischia but after a while the selections seem repetitive. May we suggest lunch or dinner at HU? The main courses offer an authentic taste of Ischia that you don’t always see on the menu elsewhere. Th

A beautiful hotel, very helpfull and friendly staff between Ischia Porto and Ischia Ponte. We were here for the second time and love both swimming pools and the very well prepared lunches near the pool. Helpfull with ordening a rental car and paying attention to our request by having a room on ground floor. Will come back a third time definitely. Grazie Mile!

Beautiful place quite close to the centre of the island. Very nice staff and comfortable rooms, we got there by walk it took 20min for the port but the google map location is for their pool. All and all we had a really good experience there

Group of women travelled here in May. Hotel is very well located in ischia port .. half way between the port and the castle literally in the middle. Great family run hotel . Staff were wonderful particularly the reception staff. Everyone that works at this hotel makes you feel welcome and greets you with a smile. The whole hotel is spotless and nothing is too much trouble. Looking forward to visiting again.

Wonderful place to stay in Ischia port. Very close to shopping and dining options. Nice rooms and a good breakfast. The pool area is nice and the snack bar at the pool very reasonably priced. We were also very impressed with the service and friendliness we received upon check-in.

Very nice hotel at a good area, close to the beach and the castle… beautiful rooftop patio with view of the ocean and castle and a nice swimming pool behind the hotel…. Nice breakfast and kind staff ….

Great location for walking to public sandy beach (About 4 minutes or so) or relaxing by hotel pool. Swimming cap required to go in pool which seems to be a thing in Europe. Can buy one from hotel for couple euros. Nice middle location to port area on one side of hotel, castle area on other side. Very nice reception team

I’m not one to leave reviews but I had to share. We arrived to Hotel Ulisse late and after checking in, I realized I left my bag in the taxi. The staff helped me retrieve it in less than 30 minutes! So thankful for their help- they saved me from what could have been a disaster. On top of that, I could not have been more pleased with my experience. This hotel is spotless, has air conditioned rooms, delicious poolside food, amazing views, and the friendliest staff. Location is great you are only a short walk away from the beach, restaurants, and the castle

Very charming hotel located right by the beach and in close walking distance to town. Beautiful view from our room and from the dining room of the castle. Breakfast is complimentary and so delicious all hand made pastries and more. Nice very clean pool with a cute bar. Staff was very helpful with recommendations and was super accommodating. Will definitely be back!
