Need recommendations for a hotel in Naples

I'm not sure about airport distance as I took the bus to Napoli from the North and left on the train, but my family there always recommends staying near Piazza del Plebiscito area which is in that southern tip near the water and also in the Chiaia District which is a tad west of Plebiscito.

Thanks very much. Any chance you can provide me with names of hotels in Naples in these areas? Much appreciated!

Try chiaiahotel.com (key eye ah)
and decumani.com

Bev,

I'd highly recommend http://www.chiaiahotel.com/napoli/ (as someone else mentioned). It's in a nice area, the rooms are comfortable and the staff are wonderful.

As you have an early morning flight, I'd suggest pre-arranging transport to the airport the day prior to your flight. The staff at the hotel should be able to set that up for you.

Hi Bev, if you don't already have a good guidebook, I would pick one up for the areas you are going. Rick's Italy guidebook has lots of recommendations for hotels in Naples. Apart from the Chiaia hotel, here are a few more you might consider:

[$$] Art Resort Galleria Umberto has 15 rooms in two different buildings inside the Umberto I shopping gallery at the bottom of Via Toledo, just off Piazza del Plebiscito. This genteel-feeling place gilds the lily, with an aristocratic setting and decor but older bathrooms. Consider paying €20 extra for a room overlooking the gallery (cheapest non-view Db-€109-120, elevator, air-con, free Wi-Fi, Galleria Umberto 83, fourth floor--ask at booth for coin to operate elevator if needed, tel. 081-497-6224, www.artresortgalleriaumberto.it, info@artresortgalleriaumberto.it).

[$$] Hotel Il Convento, with 14 small but comfortable rooms with balconies, is a good choice for those who want to sleep in the gnarly, tight tangle of lanes called the Spanish Quarter--quintessential Naples. While the neighborhood can feel off-putting after dark, it’s not especially unsafe. You’re only a couple of short blocks off the main Via Toledo drag, and heavy-duty windows help block out some--but not all--of the scooter noise and church bells. A rare haven in this characteristic corner of town, it’s in all the guidebooks (Sb-€80, Db-€120, Tb-€130, Qb-€160, €10-20 less if you prepay, elevator, air-con, free Wi-Fi, Via Speranzella 137A, tel. 081-403-977, www.hotelilconvento.com, info@hotelilconvento.com).
