Santa Chiara Boutique Hotel

This hotel is a hidden gem in the historic centre of Naples. Hidden behind a door on the busiest street in the old town, it offers a lovely setting (don't miss the rooftop - just a few steps away from the bustling street below). The staff were wonderfully friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was perfect for us. Our room was not particularly large but provided all the necessary amenities. Great location for visiting many tourist highlights on foot. This is Naples though, and if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing stay, it's not the right place. However, for history, vibrancy and the hustle and bustle of a dynamic city, you can't go wrong.

We had a great stay at Santa Chiara Boutique Hotel in Naples. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the historic center, making it easy to walk to restaurants, shops, and many of the city’s main sights. Despite being in a lively area, the hotel itself felt peaceful and quiet. The rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable, with thoughtful touches that made the stay feel special. The staff was exceptionally kind and welcoming, helping us with directions, restaurant recommendations, and arranging taxis for us when needed. Breakfast was delicious, with fresh pastries, fruit, and good coffee to start the day. We also loved the charming courtyard, which was a relaxing spot to take a break from exploring the city.

Naples is such an energetic, full-on and fabulous city we knew we needed a real haven in the centre where we would relax and recover from walking for miles in the crowds. Santa Chiara BH is so well-named - there’s something heavenly about the way it floats two floors above the riotous Spaccanapoli, offering all possible comfort and calm as soon as you arrive. Light, bright Double rooms on the 4th floor have really comfortable super king beds, crisp white linen and all mod cons. For a really spacious old-school experience we moved for one night into a ‘suite’ on the 2nd floor where enormous painted doors and a beautiful vaulted ceiling gave us the full palazzo feel as well as an even larger bed and foam memory pillows The staff could not be more competent or kind, constantly offering ideas and helping us make bookings in Pompeii, Herculaneum and local restaurants. Cannot recommend too highly.

A wonderful hotel with excellent service, very polite and friendly staff, and charming rooms. It’s located right in the city center, housed in a historic building that once (reportedly in the 17th century) served as the Embassy of Calabria. Inside, everything is perfectly done (modern plumbing, AC, etc.) while preserving original historic features like floors, ceilings, and doors. Very authentic! There’s also a lovely rooftop terrace with beautiful views.

Couldn’t have been more central in the heart of the old town. Very comfortable beds linen and towels. We didn’t take breakfast but wonderful cafes very close by. Genaro at the desk was exceptionally helpful and the welcoming Prosecco on the roof with the views of Naples and Vesuvius an extra treat. Looking forward to a return visit 😃
