Where to Stay in Naples

Stay in Municipio, by the port, if you want one base for both road tours and ferries. Amalfi Coast day tours from Naples collect guests at a short list of hotels and landmarks, and the two hotels that turn up most often are on Via Medina in Municipio and on Piazza Garibaldi outside Napoli Centrale. Municipio adds Molo Beverello, where the seasonal ferries to Amalfi and Positano leave. Choose Piazza Garibaldi if your tour meets only there or you arrive by train, and the seafront Lungomare if you want a quieter street and sea views.

Take the most-reviewed tour on this site, Worldtours’ From Naples: Sorrento, Positano & Amalfi Premium Tour. It picks up at 11 points, with hotels in all three areas below, and runs about 8.5 hours, from $71 per person without lunch (checked October 2026), rated 4.8 from 18,989 GetYourGuide reviews. Its Stazione Marittima pickup is for cruise passengers only, so a hotel near the cruise terminal does not get you that stop. Our breakdown lists every pickup.

Municipio and the port

Pick Municipio if you want to walk to a tour pickup one morning and to the ferries on another. Of the 24 tours compared on this site, 10 list Hotel NH Napoli Panorama on Via Medina as a pickup point, and the Positano and Amalfi coach day stops at Molo Beverello and at Via Medina 39. NLG ferries to Amalfi and Positano leave Molo Beverello from 1 April to early November in 2026, and Line 1’s Municipio metro station is about a five-minute walk from the pier. Expect a busy, urban area, with the Toledo shopping streets next door.

• NH Napoli Panorama: on Via Medina, five minutes’ walk from Molo Beverello on its listing, and a pickup point for 10 tours here.
• Mercure Napoli Centro Angioino: about 400 m from Molo Beverello and 230 m from Municipio metro, with a panoramic terrace.
• Hotel Toledo: a budget pick on Via Montecalvario, about 10 minutes on foot from Piazza del Plebiscito and the harbor, with a rooftop terrace. No tour here collects at the door, so you walk to Via Medina.

For sailing times, fares and the pier itself, read our Naples to Amalfi ferry guide.

Piazza Garibaldi and Napoli Centrale

Starhotels Terminus appears on more pickup lists than any other hotel on this site: 12 of the 24 tours collect there. Some meet nowhere else. HP Travel’s Positano, Amalfi and Sorrento small group day, at $62 per person the lowest real-date price among our 24 tours, starts and ends at the hotel (our breakdown). Late bookings often land here too. Worldtours sends last-minute bookings to the Terminus at 08:30, and HP Travel’s boat days collect at its entrance at 7:40 if you leave your hotel details blank.

The station is the other reason to sleep here. Circumvesuviana trains to Sorrento start at Napoli Garibaldi, trains to Salerno take about 35 to 40 minutes, and Line 1 of the metro links Garibaldi with Municipio. The square is busy and less polished than the seafront. Molo Beverello is about 3.7 km away by road, so take the metro or a taxi on a ferry morning.

• Starhotels Terminus: on Piazza Garibaldi, a few yards from Napoli Centrale and the Garibaldi metro, with a panoramic terrace.
• Hotel Zara Napoli: a budget hotel five minutes’ walk from Napoli Centrale, with 24-hour reception for a late train.
• Grand Hotel Europa & Restaurant: about 270 m on foot from Napoli Centrale.

The Lungomare and Chiaia

Choose Via Partenope for a calmer base with views over the Bay of Naples, and plan on a longer trip to the ferries. Royal Continental is a pickup point for six tours on this site, the flagship day among them. Three more hotels on the same street are pickup points for NapoliCityVision’s two day trips from Naples (one of them adds Pompeii), so check your own tour’s list before you book.

• Hotel Royal Continental: on the seafront promenade, with a rooftop pool open June to September and views of Castel dell’Ovo.
• Eurostars Hotel Excelsior: a rooftop restaurant and terrace over the bay, and some sea-view rooms.
• Grand Hotel Vesuvio: on the seafront, with its listing giving about 15 minutes’ walk to the port for the Capri and Sorrento boats.
• Grand Hotel Santa Lucia: lets you choose between quieter internal rooms and sea-view rooms.

The three areas side by side

If you arrive late or leave early

Arriving by train in the evening, sleep at Piazza Garibaldi and skip the cross-town ride. The same goes for a late finish. You Know! Boat’s Positano and Amalfi boat day with drinks meets on Piazza Garibaldi and gets back to Naples no earlier than 20:00 to 20:15, so its operator rules it out for cruise passengers. The NLG ferry day that leaves at 10:00 docks back in Naples at 18:45, and Municipio puts you a short walk from that pier.

If you are joining a ship, the cruise terminal sits on Molo Angioino, close to Molo Beverello, and Municipio is the natural last night. Shore excursions with port pickup are on our cruise excursions page. For a fixed-fare taxi in Naples, ask for and agree the fare before you get in.

Booking tips

• Book the tour before the room. The tours named here allow free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead, and the pickup list tells you which street to sleep on.
• Check the season. Ferries and boat days run from April to early November in 2026, while road tours run all year. Worldtours needs at least 4 people from November to March on its flagship day (2 from April to October).
• Staying in the centro storico? The Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli is a pickup point for six tours here, including the flagship day.
• LHP Napoli Palace & SPA is a pickup point for three tours, but it is in Fuorigrotta, away from the port and the station, so it is not one of our three areas.
• Expect a tourist tax of a few euros per person per night, paid at the hotel; check the amount at check-in.

To pick the day itself, start with our Amalfi Coast day trips or the tour comparison on the homepage. When you know your dates, check availability for the Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi day.
