What the bands mean
None of the audited hotels in Naples publish static list rates outside dynamic booking engines. Room costs fluctuate by date, while the mandatory municipal tourist tax (imposta di soggiorno) adds fixed per-person nightly charges for up to 14 consecutive nights: 4.00 EUR for 1-star, 4.50 EUR for 2-star, 5.50 EUR for 3-star, and 6.00 EUR for 4-star, 5-star and short-term lets under tariffs in force since 1 May 2026. Only one property publishes parking prices (Hotel Il Convento at affiliated garages from 30 EUR per 24 hours).

The 12 hotels, and who each one is wrong for
Walking times are to Piazza del Plebiscito and Piazza San Domenico Maggiore. Walking distances and foot times were calculated on 9 September 2026 using the OpenStreetMap foot profile road routing network from geocoded hotel addresses. Because Naples has two distinct focal points, routes are anchored to Piazza del Plebiscito for the seafront quarter and Piazza San Domenico Maggiore for Spaccanapoli, alongside road routes to Napoli Centrale railway station.

Chiaja Hotel de Charme is 4 minutes on foot from Piazza del Plebiscito but 44 minutes from Napoli Centrale. Conversely, Starhotels Terminus sits 2 minutes from the station but 41 minutes on foot from Piazza del Plebiscito.
