Hotel Ulisse

We have just returned after a 9 night stay Bed & Breakfast in the Ulisse Hotel (this is our 3rd visit over many years). The Hotel Ulisse is still of a very high standard for a 3 star hotel. Although the rooms are slightly small they are more than comfortable. I would recommend paying a little extra and booking a room with a terrace and a sea view. The views of the sea/hillside and castle are stunning so you will spend most of your time on the balcony enjoying the breath taking views and watching the boats. The hotel is always extremely clean and the rooms are kept spotless by a very hard working staff. The staff on reception and in the breakfast room are extremely friendly and helpful. The little hidden gem of this hotel is the swimming pool which is extremely secluded and has the addition of a very good bar for snacks and lunch. The lunches were extremely good and reasonably priced. Despite the hotel being very busy there was always sufficient sun beds around the pool all times of the day. There is a requirement to wear a swimming cap while in the water, male and female, which a few guests didn't like but it is common in a lot of the hotels and ensures total hygiene. Many of the guests found it quite amusing and personally unless you are totally vain it is no great hardship. Caps could be purchased at the Pool Bar for 1.50 euro so no excuse not to have one. The Hotel Ulisse is perfectly located between the Port and the Castle with a very good bus service running down to the Port and around the Island of Ischia. We have visited both the Islands of Capri and Ischia and would prefer to stay in Ischia. It is a totally beautiful Island which is much more affordable and relaxed. The ferries run frequently and are very fast and efficient and run on time. You can book your ferry tickets online or at the ticket office at the port so if you miss one you only have to wait a short while for the next. There are three different ports on the Island of Ischia so ensure you purchase your ticket for the port nearest your resort. If you just want to explore the island 3 nights is probably sufficient but personally I would recommend staying longer. The streets and port area are wonderful to stroll around in the evening and we enjoyed a fantastic firework display while we were there. Enjoy!

I love this place. So kind staff, clean rooms and nice pool area. Breakfast is good with bacon, eggs, croissants etc. They also let us stay on the pool for couple of hours after checkout beacuse of the night flight back to home. Location is also very good! Beach is right next (1 min walk) and Ischia porto is about 800m. Castle is also near. I hope I will come back here someday and I can recommend the place for everyone.

We had a great time in Hotel Ulisse. The staff are friendly and honest people. We were charged more for a tour which they arranged for us and without we to saying anything they found out. The difference in the money was recovered straight away by the them. Such a honest and kind service. We felt so safe and like home there. The hotel is very clean and in great location. Was hard to say goodbye.
