With designer furniture, frescoed ceilings and champagne on arrival, you wouldn’t know these cheap hotels in Naples are affordable – but they are. Naples offers some of the best value for money in Italy: ingredients like tomatoes and mozzarella are of such high quality here, they make even the simplest dishes taste amazing. And the pizza, oh the pizza… Italy’s most famous export is served up on every corner for only a few euros apiece. And if you stay in one of these budget hotels in Naples, all bookable with Culture Trip, you’ll have enough cash left over to savour every single bite.

Annunziata Bed and Breakfast, for a sun-drenched stay

The bright design of this bed and breakfast will have your summertime glow in full flow, if the Italian air hasn’t already worked its magic. Choose from rooms tastefully decorated in blue, green, yellow or orange, complete with sizeable beds and plenty of living space. Make sure you opt for a room with a balcony, because how else can you enjoy the Italian sun round the clock? Pets are more than welcome at Annunziata – just call ahead so your four-legged friend can have their bed adequately fluffed. A kids’ club is also available if you’re bringing the whole family.

Ciao Bellini, for the movie star treatment

This hotel, converted from the famous Bellini Theatre, offers five different room choices named after famous Italian actors. Feel like a movie star by opting for Sophia Loren’s Dressing Room, taking advantage of the city views from your own private balcony, or keep it simple with the comfortable offerings from Totò’s room. All rooms come with a 4K Smart TV, in case you want to learn more about the greats of stage and screen who inspired your room. The three-minute walk from the nearest metro stop shouldn’t be too difficult after a few vinos.

Domus Deorum Deluxe, for the friendly faces

You don’t have to tell hosts Angela, Massimo and Nunzia what hospitality means: they’ll welcome you with a bottle of bubbles and attentive service throughout your stay, whether that’s leaving a breakfast basket outside your room if you have an early flight or advising on the best eats in town, based on your personal preferences. They put the same attention to detail into the rooms, decorating them with marble sculptures and Fornasetti-inspired murals.

The Dante House, for a fancy holiday

Brightly hued design furniture, in-laid wooden wall panels, frescoed ceilings with chandeliers and private balconies: nothing about these rooms with smart en-suites makes you think it’s a cheap Naples hotel. The location is hard to top, too – in the heart of Naples, steps away from the impressive National Archaeological Museum.

B&B Orsini 46, for something new

Gabriele and Manuela manage this small-scale, decently priced bed and breakfast with the same on-point professionalism and hospitality of a luxury hotel. They surprise their guests with a different breakfast served in the room every morning, share the best local tips on the Naples food scene and are always available for questions and requests. The location is another plus: around the corner of Piazza del Plebiscito, in the middle of an ancient fishermen’s neighbourhood, with most of the city’s main sights within walking distance.

Hotel Piazza Bellini, for fun-filled freebies

Piazza Bellini is one of the most vivid squares in Naples, where you’ll find lots of locals meeting up for an after-work aperitivo or a dinner with friends. Just around the corner, you’ll find this snug hotel with impeccable service, a lovely internal garden with Baroque fountains, and minimalist rooms with Kartell design chairs (some even have private kitchens). Perks include a welcome drink, a surprise gift waiting in your room and a free minibar with soft drinks.

Unahotels Napoli, for unbeatable value

This budget base has the facilities of a five-star hotel: located in a 19th-century palazzo, a five-minute walk away from Circumvesuviana Station (from where you can take the train for day trips to Pompeii or Sorrento), it houses elegant rooms with private balconies and a chic rooftop terrace with a restaurant and cocktail bar. The breakfast buffet includes gluten-free options, and there’s a pillow menu to ensure you get a great night’s sleep.

Dante Maison de Charme, for stepping out in style

The Naples subway system is a fast and budget-friendly way to get around during your city trip (many stations are adorned by artworks from the likes of William Kentridge), and this guesthouse sits less than a minute away from Dante metro station. Host Guido will gladly point out all the must-sees, as well as his favourite restaurants and cafés. For a modestly priced hotel, the rooms have surprisingly large bathrooms with comfortable walk-in showers and an extensive set of free toiletries, and even in-room spa services such as massages and pedicures.

Relais della Porta, for a stay immersed in history

If you’re a sucker for old Italian palazzi with high frescoed ceilings, in-laid wooden floors and Baroque panelled doors, you’ll have a blast at this sophisticated hotel in the heart of the city. Inside, original details are elegantly complemented by modern design furniture, and mirror-clad tables in the breakfast room let you admire beautifully painted ceilings without hurting your neck.

Artemisia Domus, for the perfect pizza

Boutique Hotel, Spa Hotel

A boutique hotel with a spa and wellness centre, private hot tubs and impressive interiors – you can hardly call this a budget hotel (and yet, a budget hotel it is). The smart soundproofed rooms, with their antique parquet floors, exposed brick walls, fireplaces, spacious living areas and Instagrammable furniture, are nothing less than luxurious – without the associated price tag. Even the location is great: the Dante metro station is a five-minute stroll away and nearby cheap eat, Pizzeria Di Matteo, has a pizza faccia gialla (literally, yellow-faced pizza, made with yellow tomatoes, mozzarella di bufala and porcini mushrooms) to die for.
