San Gaetano 23

This is a B&B with steep stairs, so be careful if you’ve got luggage. It’s in a great spot on the Napoli streets if you want street life. Don’t expect luxury, but you’ll get the local way of life, underground tunnels, and all kinds of street food. An unforgettable experience.

The rooms were in great shape for the price, though they’re not luxurious. What really made the location brilliant was being right in the old center of Naples, facing the square where the Neapolis Sotterrata catacombs start. My girlfriend and I are 23, so being close to restaurants, bars, and attractions mattered a lot to us. The owner was helpful and flexible, and let us leave our luggage for an extra day so we could spend more time in Naples.

It’s a busy street with a touristy feel, and we enjoyed watching people from the balcony. The building is old, but the room was clean and spacious. Staff were easy to reach on WhatsApp. There’s a penalty for checking in late.

At first, I wasn’t too impressed, but after a few days I realized we were right in the middle of everything. The room was quiet, though not especially modern or well equipped. It was clean and organized, with a hairdryer and amenities, and our towels were changed every morning. The owners were very polite. The internet was down on the first day, then they fixed it, and the Wi-Fi reception was quick and strong after that. For the very economical price, cleanliness and location were the two big advantages. I’d absolutely recommend this B&B.
