Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Zara, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (4th floor or above) at the back of the hotel to minimize street noise from the busy streets of Naples. These rooms overlook the inner courtyard or the city, offering a more peaceful atmosphere.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the lower floors (1st-3rd) near the street may be noisier due to the proximity to the bustling streets of Naples. Additionally, rooms near the lift (elevators) may experience some noise from the elevator's frequent use.
Best views
Rooms on the higher floors (4th floor or above) with a back-facing orientation offer the best views of the city, while rooms on the front-facing side (facing the street) may have views of the bustling streets of Naples.
Quietest floors
The 4th floor and above are likely to be quieter, given the hotel's layout and the fact that these floors are likely to be further away from the lift and street noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from the busy streets of Naples may be a concern for rooms on lower floors, especially those near the street. However, the hotel's location in Naples means that some noise from the city is inevitable.
Insider tips
If you have a car, consider requesting a room near the service entrance to minimize the need to navigate through the main entrance and avoid potential traffic congestion. Ask for a room with a balcony, as some rooms at Hotel Zara come with a small outdoor space offering a glimpse of the city.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Find train tickets →Napoli Piazza Garibaldi (central station, 10 mins from airport by bus) → Piazza Amedeo (nearest metro to hotel)
💡 From Piazza Amedeo, the hotel is a 5-minute walk downhill. This line runs overground through tunnels — sit on the left for views. Buy return tickets at the machine; the app 'Trenitalia' works but can be glitchy.
Naples Capodichino Airport → B&B La Bouganville

Naples Capodichino Airport → B&B La Bouganville (Via Giuseppe Martucci, 7)
💡 Fix the price before getting in. Avoid drivers offering a ride inside the arrivals hall — walk to the official taxi rank outside. For La Bouganville, make sure they know it's in the Chiaia district, not Mergellina.

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).
