Best Hotels Near National Archaeological Museum Naples

A six-room boutique set above a working Neapolitan artisan workshop in the Spaccanapoli, Atelier Inès is the most atmospheric small hotel in the city — you fall asleep to the sound of the street below and wake up to the aroma of the nearby coffee roaster. The owner's obsessive knowledge of Neapolitan cuisine history is the best free guide in the city.

A contemporary boutique on the most beautiful square in Naples, where ancient Greek city walls form the garden of outdoor cafés and students gather from the nearby university. The rooms are clean and well-designed, the terrace overlooks the Greek remains, and the location in the intellectual heart of the city is exceptional.

A well-run mid-range hotel in the historic centre with comfortable rooms, a generous breakfast, and staff who know the Neapolitan pizza scene in forensic detail — they will argue passionately for their recommended pizzeria and they are usually right. Excellent value for the central location.

The best-regarded hostel in Naples, with a rooftop terrace overlooking the bay, clean and cheerful dorms and private rooms, and a team who organise pizza-making classes, catacombs tours, and day trips to the Amalfi Coast. The communal atmosphere makes it easy for solo travelers to find companions for the city's intimidating but rewarding streets.

A boutique hotel in a 14th-century palazzo on a Spaccanapoli side street, Decumani has restored the original stone-flagged corridors, the painted wood ceilings, and the atmospheric gloom that communicates Naples's extraordinary historical depth. The location puts you within steps of the Gesù Nuovo, San Gregorio Armeno's Christmas workshops, and the Cappella Sansevero.
