If you’re asking where to stay in Naples, Relais Della Porta is a solid choice. Located in a vibrant area, this hotel brings you close to the action, while offering a comfortable, stylish haven to relax after a day of exploring. It’s everything you need, and then some.
Naples is loud, chaotic, and absolutely full of life. It’s not a place for those who want peace and quiet, but if you’re after an exciting, gritty adventure, this city’s got it all.
And when it comes to places to stay, these three hotels strike the perfect balance between comfort and location, giving you the best of Naples with a touch of relaxation.
Relais Della Porta
If you want to stay close to the action without getting flattened by it, Relais Della Porta is your sweet spot. Located just a hop, skip, and jump from Maschio Angioino and San Carlo Theatre, it’s perfectly placed to let you enjoy Naples’ historic beauty without needing earplugs at night.
The rooms here aren’t going to blow your mind with glitzy modernity, but they’re comfortable, well-equipped, and—most importantly—quiet enough for a decent night’s sleep. The breakfast spread will have you stuffing your face with pastries that might just make you wonder why other cities even bother trying. The icing on the cake? It’s walking distance to Palazzo Reale and the Molo Beverello port, which means you’re never far from your next adventure. View room gallery >>
Hotel Il Convento
Now, if you want to add a little bit of old-school Naples charm to your trip, Hotel Il Convento is the place. Housed in a 17th-century building, it’s got that quirky charm of a place that’s seen generations of locals hustle and bustle in the streets. It’s right next to the Convent of Santa Maria Francesca, in a quieter neighborhood.
You’re not going to hear the traffic whizzing by, but don’t worry—Via Toledo is just around the corner, so you can head into the madness when you’re ready. The rooms have character—none of that soulless, chain hotel stuff—and if you snag the junior suite, you’ve got your own rooftop garden to escape the noise (and have a quiet moment to reflect on how much pizza you’ve already eaten). It’s an easy walk to the port too, so you can hop on a ferry to Capri or Ischia if you fancy it. View room gallery >>
Royal Boutique Naples
If you’ve had enough of the old-world charm and want a bit of contemporary style in the mix, Royal Boutique Naples is where you want to be. It’s got all the things you need: sleek rooms, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and a location that’s a short stroll from the likes of Galleria Borbonica and the royal palace. In short, it’s pretty much everything you want, without the touristy nonsense.
The rooms are comfy and come with the added bonus of some having balconies with views over the city (perfect for that ‘I’m in Naples and I’m living my best life’ moment). Breakfast is solid, and the terrace? Well, it’s a lovely little spot for an early evening drink before heading out for the night. View room gallery >>
Final Words
Okay, so none of these places are going to be your budget pick (don’t go thinking this is the sort of place you’ll grab for $50 a night), but they’re definitely my top picks if you want comfort, character, and a location that lets you properly experience Naples.
You won’t regret it—unless, of course, you end up spending too much on pizza and espresso. But then again, that’s a problem for all of us.
