Modern and rather basic, this hotel is well located for checking out the university area as well as the ancient centre. They’ve made an effort to give a sense of style to all rooms and some are even decorated with wall frescoes. These rooms include breakfast, served on the roof terrace of the nearby Executive Hotel.

One of the more basic choices in town, but it’s pleasant enough and very welcoming. Some rooms have air-conditioning, at an extra daily charge, and there’s a garage nearby that offers a deal to guests.

Located right on the main port, with nicely furnished rooms on the sixth floor of a modern block, each room has great views of Mount Vesuvius and Capri from its own balcony. It’s a pleasant walk to the Villa Comunale from here, and there are great restaurants in the area too.

This lively, international hostel also has a few private accommodations, and the price and location are certainly right. Set near the water, a stone’s throw from Royal Naples and very convenient to the old centre. The atmosphere is friendly and the staff multilingual.

An elegant, friendly little place, just a few blocks from the Duomo in one direction and the Museo Archeologico in the other. Set in a period palazzo with a grand entrance and stairway.

This simple place is homey and clean, offering kitchen and laundry facilities. No breakfast is served, but it’s handy for popular Piazza Bellini, where there are great cafés, and to all the sights of the old centre. Be prepared to climb several flights of stairs, however.

Perfectly located for doing the old centre, this is a basic place, but very well maintained and not without a certain charm. In this price range, you can’t do better. Right across the street from the Duomo and just steps away from all the major sights of ancient Naples.

As you come out of the main train station, walk straight across the huge square to the market. Or you can call them in advance and they’ll come and meet you.

This tiny, old-fashioned pensione is located on the top floors of a 19thcentury building along the seafront. For sea views, choose rooms without a bathroom.

Just outside the station, this pensione is an oasis of calm.
