This small, family-run hotel is a good base for budget travelers wishing to be within striking distance of Pompeii's ruins. The Diana is a three-minute walk from the train station, a 10-minute walk from the amphitheater entrance, and close to the action in Pompeii's main square. Despite its convenient location, the hotel somehow feels apart from the tourist throngs. Clean and well-appointed rooms and a young, outgoing staff make for a pleasant stay.
Across from the Herculaneum archaeological site, this budget-friendly bed-and-breakfast could use a refresh, though it has views of the ruins and the sea and is much quieter than its counterparts in Naples, making it a good base for exploring nearby Pompeii and Oplontis as well as Herculaneum. There's space to relax on the terrace and breakfast room; some rooms have small balconies with views of the archaeological site.
A practical choice near Pompeii's archaeological site, this hotel run by a friendly staff has a pleasant sun terrace and spacious, ultramodern rooms, five with kitchens and cooking utensils.
A stay at Villa Luisa might not put you in the lap of luxury, but its location just off a busy road—though still near Lake Lucrino, Lake Averno, and the Stufe di Nerone thermal baths—as well as its spa facilities, beachside lido, sun terrace, and mini-apartment option make it a good-value option.
