Compare Naples hotels

With Mount Vesuvius looming in the same frame as the deep blues of the bay, the city of Naples is a photographer’s dream. So, book one of the excellent hotels in Naples and fill your holiday album with snaps of Italy’s third-largest city: you’ll be rewarded with fascinating history and culture alongside some of the best pizza and coffee in the world.

The humungous historic city centre – the largest in Europe and designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO – has plenty of stories to tell, and is a fantastic place to look for hotels in Naples. It’s close to Central Station and near the city’s port.

A warren of bustling alleyways, bustling with markets and cafes, lure visitors to churches, catacombs, opera houses and piazzas. And if you can’t find an authentic slice of rustic Neapolitan pizza around here, you really aren’t looking hard enough; the smell of tomatoes and the sight of melting mozzarella are hard to miss, and even harder to resist.

Cheap hotels in Naples’ historic centre, or Centro Storico, range from cosy B&Bs and no-frills guesthouses to boutique joints where the rooms have been given a modern makeover while retaining their aged charm.

If you’re looking for grand hotels in Naples with swimming pools and spas, compare accommodation options down at the waterfront. There are plenty of them, as well as a host of attractions, such as the Castel dell’Ovo, one of the world’s oldest fortifications. The views of Mount Vesuvius are spectacular here too.

The areas of San Ferdinando and Chiaia are both good options if you want luxury by the bay as well as easy access to the highlights of the historic centre. It takes 15-30 minutes to saunter in on foot. Hotels in these neighbouring districts feature a wealth of amenities, such as swimming pools, roof terraces, pleasant gardens and fine-dining eateries.

And when you’ve had your fill at the restaurant in the evening, take a seaside stroll along Naples’ Lungomare: a long promenade that makes the most of those volcano and bay views.

The areas of Posillipo and Mergellina are a little further south-west of the main city sprawl. While there are some terrific hotels at tempting prices, it can take up to an hour on public transport to reach the historic centre.

Just to the east of the historic centre is Central Station, the city’s major rail hub. Some of Naples’ best cheap hotels can be found in this area, with a clutch of good-value, clean and basic guesthouses catering to travellers on a budget.

It might not be as charming as the historic centre, but the location is great for the price. Make sure you compare prices on TravelSupermarket to ensure you don’t miss out on a bargain.
