Napoli itself has to be the worst place I have been to. The b&b was ok. The man there was helpful to a degree, but we were not impressed when promised that we would be able to watch the Australia v Italy game on the statelite TV and then that channel stops an hour before the game. The room iteself was a great size, definately big enough for the two of us. The shower was a bit dodgy though, all mouldy and the door had to be forced open and I was too scared to shut it when I showered in case I got trapped in there. Breakfast was ok. Make sure you take note of the phone numbers because you have to call to get in when you first arrive.

This place is a little jewel very close to the Naples train station (Centrale). The rooms (we had two) were absolutely clean and charming. Breakfast is delivered to your room in the morning anytime between 8AM and 10AM.

Directions are not easy to come by - but when you leave the main exit of the train station and end up in the plaza (which is under construction currently for a new subway line), go to the far right corner of the plaza. The building has a sign on the front and the side for the hotel. When you get into the building, walk across the courtyard to the far left corner and if you take the elevator, you have to pay 5 cents to get it to move. Otherwise it is just two flights up. Don't be turned off by the outside or the courtyard. It is a world of difference once you get inside.

Although I don't necessarily agree that this place is for the adventureous traveler only - all of Naples can unnerve people with the chaos and filth. We stayed here because we wanted to be close to the train station to do some day trips (like Pompeii).
