Bed & Breakfast Medea

Quirky little hotel in the centre of the old city in Naples. Right in the middle of the action, walk anywhere. Close to the city centre, amazing restaurants and cafes. Just sit and watch the chaos around you. Lift and entry are novel, and very authentic. Bed and pillows a little rough, but everything is clean and tidy. Can get a little noisy- but that’s why we are here right! Recommend for those wanting an authentic Napoli experience.

Nicola was extremely helpful from giving taxi rate advice to dining options.

Myself and my boyfriend stayed at the b&b while in Naples and when we pulled back the sheets we discovered numbers long black hairs (I’m a redhead and my bf has short hair) all over the bed sheets, pillows and duvet. As well as numerous smaller hairs and dirt and stains. The floor was also filthy we were in white socks and bare foot and when we looked at our feet they were covered in dirt. Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. The staff didn’t care at all. We booked through a booking website and the b&b told the booking site we never checked in so we would not be able to leave a review! DO NOT STAY HERE!

The room was huge and the hotel is very centrally located. We loved the area and would definitely stay here again, especially if we came with a larger group. Thank you!

This was our first visit of Napoli. When I came to "centro storico" close to our accomodation around Saturday midnight I was somehow shocked and did not feel very comfortable. Imagine very, but really very narrow streets with very high buildings ( some of them 5-6 storeys ), everything gray/black, all buildings painted by graffiti ..., indeed not nice view. And hundreds or even thousands of mainly young people outside so that was very difficult to go through. And bigggg noise of the people and small scooters. I thought - my gosh, how we will be able to sleep in such environment. We went into the small yard through big massive doors, reminding the fortress, than through other barred entrance into the house, took the lift ( we really had to pay 10 cents per journey) and through another massive doors got into the B&B. The receptionist showed us our room and suddenly we felt like in another world. Spacy room with the doors to lovely terrace giving private space sorrounded by green plants. And quiet ! We even could sleep with the doors open to the terrace. Incredible difference from the outside world. The room was cleaned daily, perfect ! The key advice for some travellers - if you want to stay in the hotel in Centro storico and sleep, make sure that you are given the room facing inner yards and NOT the streets. Unless you accept to have the windows closed and air con on. Medea and its Superior room with the terrace is really great option !!! I am not sure about other rooms ! However - I got used to the style of the living in this part of Napoli and it was in the end very nice and special experience. But deffinitely not for sleeping..... The reception staff was nice, the young man was very helpfull giving us some good advices, we even could leave the luggage in the storey antil afternoon the day we were leaving.

Having just stayed here in the last week, I can say the place is worth a stay, It is in a good location if a little bit hard to find if you don't know your way around the city. Not sure why they have now covered the sign up into the place, Pay cash upon arrival to check in quickly as they do not accept cards. Room was nice and had the terrace to go and relax on which was also nice, There is a fridge in the room but doesn't really chill much, TV doesn't have any English channels but wasn't there for that anyway, Beware of a different plug socket as well to most of Europe as they have a strange 3 pin socket in the room, you can buy an adaptor for about 2 euros but finding a place that sells them is a bit harder. They had a power cut while we were there and no one is on the reception desk after about 8:30pm until next morning so not sure who to contact if you have any issues and they give you a set of keys for the bottom door, the gate, the premises and then your room, the door downstairs can be a bit awkward to open, lots of Coffee shops and restaurants nearby, its about a 25 minute walk to the Train Station, where you can get cheap trains to Vesuvius(Erolcano), Pompeii and Sorrento, less that 10 euro return and run frequently.

The rooms were large and clean and the staff was very helpful and kind. The terrace was beautiful. Really enjoyed our stay here.

We were there for just one night. Receptionist was a nice guy. The building is old but when you see the great balcony (the best part) you can forget the blanket full of stains. Clean bed sheets instead. In the bathroom just one soap. they kindly let us keeping bags after the checkout Last episode: receptionist called a taxi for us asking me if I wanted the flat money (11€) or the normal price for the ride to the station. I chose 11€ and he told the taxi company on the phone. Then taxi driver took 18€ instead!! saying that this service does not exist!!!

This is truly a hidden gem in the historic district of Naples. A little hard to find due to small signage so be persistent in locating. The rooms were clean and spacious and there is an amazing terrace that the second floor rooms access - lots of green plants and privacy - well laid out and so nice to walk out patio doors onto a terrace to have your breakfast. We opted for the breakfast provided for 5 Euros - it included a pastry, juice, toast, cheese, meat and choice of coffee - was perfect to start our day. Very good customer service - they booked a shuttle to airport for our middle of the night flight and also directed us to where we could get a PCR test within walking distance of the Medea. This is a great location to explore the historic district and you can walk to many of the historic attractions. Was a great find.
