Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to B&B San Gennaro, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (4th or above) for a quieter stay, as the hotel's location in Naples city center means there may be some street noise from the busy streets below. Additionally, being on a higher floor reduces the likelihood of being disturbed by the sound of the lift.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1st-2nd) as they may be more prone to noise from the street and potential service entrance activity.
Best views
Unfortunately, given the hotel's address in Naples, there may not be many rooms with a particularly stunning view. However, rooms on the higher floors may offer a view of the cityscape, although it will likely be a partial view of the surrounding buildings.
Quietest floors
3rd floor and above
🔊 Noise notes
Be prepared for some street noise, especially from the Via Toledo and Via San Sebastiano areas nearby. The hotel's location in the city center means there will be some background hum of traffic and pedestrian activity.
Insider tips

Take advantage of the hotel's proximity to the historic city center and explore the nearby Piazza del Gesù Nuovo, which is within walking distance.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field

Top Attractions in Naples
💡 Go between 10am and noon, before the tour groups pack it. Grab a sfogliatella at Pintauro on Via Toledo.
💡 Bring a picnic — there’s a small kiosk but it’s erratic. Sunset is the best time, but arrive by 4pm to claim a bench on the western side.
💡 Book online a day ahead — walk-ups often sell out by noon. Wear trainers; the tunnels are damp and uneven.
💡 Head straight to the Secret Cabinet on the mezzanine floor — a collection of erotic Roman art that’s often overlooked by casual visitors.
💡 Bring your own water — the café up there charges triple. Also check if the adjacent Certosa di San Martino is open (combined ticket €10).
