Good budget-friendly accommodation
Small but well presented room with en-suite bathroom. Everything was clean, and everything worked well. Daily housekeeping, who were really good at keeping shower gel, soap, toilet paper, etc, fully stocked at all times. Friendly welcome from the owner, who met me personally at 10pm for check-in (delayed flight!). Location is great, most central Naples sights are easily walkable, and the central train station is only 15-20 minutes walk away. Being on a residential side street, traffic noise is limited to the occasional scooter going past, and not the usual Naples noisy mayhem traffic! Breakfast is a simple coffee and croissant, provided at a cafe just 2 minutes walk away.

Great location in the heart of the University district and the old town. Much better than being near Piazza Garibaldi or Corso Umberto. Very helpful staff, and very good value. Quiet, comfortable. Breakfast not amazing, but what do you expect for this price?

Friendly welcome and lovely clean room
The hotel staff were very welcoming and had some nice little touches such as the freshly homemade cakes that arrived for breakfast. The rooms were very clean and spacious too. Ideal for an overnight city break as not too far from the port and plenty of shops and restaurants nearby.

Great option for independent travelers in Naples. I was traveling alone but had visited the city before, so this was a perfect setup for me. The proprietors speak very little English, but were absolutely friendly and kind, and we were able to get me checked in with no problem (even managed some restaurant recommendations nearby!). Breakfast is simple and self-service (not really a "buffet"... what we'd call in America a "continental breakfast"), but always included delightful Neopolitan pastries. Otherwise the small room I had was clean, comfortable, and included a desk and air conditioning.

Interesting place, hadn't quite realised it was bed & breakfast rather than full scale hotel. Charming, helpful host. Breakfast a bit basic even by Italian standards. liked the coffee once I'd sussed machine properly.

Central and nice, clean hotel
This hotel is a 5 minute walk from the main streets of the old town or the more modernism shopping streets. Easy 10 minute walk to central station. Hotel staff speak Italian not English, but they are friendly and will do their best to understand. The hotel is clean, convenient and simply nice to be in!

Basic comforts near center of Naples
This hotel is small but clean and comfortable. It is down a kind of dark back-street, so isn't very appealing from the outside, but it's central, and the room was large, clean and comfortable. No one is present at the hotel, but one of the owners was there to greet us and he gave us a cell phone number to call in case we needed anything. The breakfast was kind of a self-serve, prepackaged thing, which was not great.

In the heart of Naples
Hotel was clean and located close to restaurants and walking distance to historical center. Very clean and modern. Comfortable bed, clean and modern bathroom. The breakfast is not as described in listing. It consists of prepackaged pastries and make your own coffee (which was good. No fruit or fresh food. There was juice in the refrigerator if that counts as fresh, homemade food. The hotel was very quiet despite all the motorcycles and scooters zooming through the streets.

The B&B was in a convenient location, within easy walking distance of the train station and airport bus stops. Our room was large, comfortable and very clean. The staff were friendly, but we only saw them on check-in and check-out. The wifi worked well.

Great B&B right in the heart of Naples
I stayed six nights at the Portanova B&B and absolutely loved it. The room we stayed in (standard double room) was large, comfortable and very clean. The staff was also nice and helpful (they even gave us complementary umbrellas when it was raining outside) and the hotel is located in the center of the old town which means that most of the cultural hot spots that one has to visit in Naples are close by (walking range). As far as Naples is concerned, I don't know why this town has such a bad rep. It maybe a little intimidating for some tourists at first, but we explored every back alley that we found in the city, including the dreaded Spanish Quarters, with DSLRs around our necks and never had any problems. Also, all of the locals that we met were very helpful and friendly, often offering their help even if we didn't asked them. All in all, this was a great vacation for us.

Amazing!
The Porta Nova B&B is one of the best places to stay if you are visiting Napoli. It is close to everything, centrally located between historic places, transportation, the "must go" pizzerias, a major avenue, and the port. However, the one thing that I know people will gripe about is the neighborhood. Like may European places, the historic sites are not in the best neighborhoods. This one is not exception. We weren't worried about crime or security (we walked around at night a lot), but more for the noise. Also, don't expect a view. The hotel is in an alley, and from the outside looks like a normal residence. However, once you enter, you are in a warm home; well kept, and very clean. Carmine (son) and Antonio (father) are PHENOMENAL. They are kind, quick to tell you where to go, and not to go, and very charismatic. I even helped Antonio bill my card. Its a true family affair, and should I go back to Napoli, I wont hesitate to stay there again. One thing, bring a translator as neither of them speak English well.
