B&B Le Mokò

Ciro and Domenico made sure I had clear instructions for getting into the palazzo and the B&B, and both were attentive throughout my stay. Ciro also kept me updated on local happenings. I’ll definitely stay at B&B Le Moko’ on my next visit to Naples. The B&B is minutes on foot from the historic district, right on a typical busy Neapolitan street lined with people, Vespas, cafes, markets, pasticcerias, gelaterias, and pizzerias. The fried pizza was yummy! Even with all that activity outside, inside was quiet and peaceful. It was clean and tidy, with a secure entrance and secure individual rooms. My room was spacious, clean, and air conditioned. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom had a large shower with quick hot water and good pressure. The spacious kitchen is the heart of the place, with plenty of natural light. Breakfast was simple but filling, with coffee and tea to get the day started.

Domenico and Ciro were super friendly and helpful, and clearly passionate about Napoli. If you’re lucky, you might even get to join them on an introductory walk around the neighborhood. Thank you for the great hospitality, and ci'vediamo! Le Moko B&B is a real gem as a base for exploring Napoli and the surrounding area. It’s right in the heart of Rionte Sanita, a lively and authentic district, with good pizzerias and pasticcerias close by. Even so, the rooms face the backstreet and stay quiet, a peaceful break after a full day in the city. They’re bright, comfortable, nicely renovated, and still have lots of character. There’s also a spacious shared kitchen and common area with unlimited coffee.

Domenico was incredibly accommodating, sharing lots of local tips, including advice to skip the touristy pizza spots, and helping with all our questions. The room was clean and well kept, with working AC and heating. The temperature depended on a hallway thermostat that we had to reset a few times. Breakfast was self-service, with plenty of options that were easy to prepare. The B&B sits just outside the “city centre” in a bustling residential area. Step out the front door and you’re straight into local life, with what seems to be a daily market selling all kinds of goods and motorcycles whizzing by. The property is on the third floor, with another flight of stairs down from there. The lift takes 10 euro cent coins. Naples has a somewhat infamous reputation, and we were apprehensive about visiting at first. This place gave us a gentle but authentic introduction, and we left wishing we’d stayed longer. I’d strongly recommend it.

Domenico was a great host. Thanks for the restaurant suggestions and for taking the time to show us around. We’ll be back! We loved staying in authentic Rione Sanitá, near San Gennaro gate. Local street markets, great pastry shops including Pasticceria Poppella, and excellent pizza are all nearby. MANN museum is a five-minute walk away, and Le Moko is just a couple of minutes from the metro, handy if you’re arriving by train. The rooms were super clean, the beds comfortable, and the self-service breakfast had good coffee, yogurt, juice, toast, and jam or Nutella.
