History meets comfort in Naples' historic hotels, where centuries-old buildings house modern amenities. Budget-wise, expect mid-range rates starting around €100 per night for a double room in high season, with some options dropping to €70 in winter. The best districts to stay are the historic center (near Piazza Bellini and Naples Cathedral), the seafront promenade (Lungomare) with views of Castel dell'Ovo, and the area around the central train station for easy transport. All properties offer free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and breakfast-many add rooftop terraces, pools, or fitness centers. Key tip: book directly for free cancellation and check if parking is available (some hotels charge extra).
