About

La Maschera Di Pulcinella

La Maschera Di Pulcinella is a small guest house set on the first floor of a historic building on Vico Maiorani, in the very centre of Naples. With just six rooms, it offers a personal, low-key base for exploring the city. The lively Via San Gregorio Armeno, famous for its nativity scene workshops, is about a five-minute walk away, and the Università metro station is also within easy reach.

The hotel's interiors are simple but well cared for, with rooms featuring air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms. Some rooms add a balcony or a city view, and the guest house provides free Wi-Fi throughout. Staff are frequently singled out in reviews for their helpfulness, and the location makes it easy to set out on foot to the Duomo, the underground ruins, and the historic centre's many restaurants and cafés.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 18:00, which may be inconvenient if you arrive later in the day or have a delayed flight.
  • Early check-out time — Check-out is between 08:00 and 10:00, so you'll need to be up and out fairly early if you have a morning departure.
  • Very small scale — With only six rooms, availability is limited and the property may not suit those looking for a larger, more anonymous hotel experience.
  • No pets and no on-site parking — Pets are not allowed, and there is no parking listed, so you'll need to rely on public transport or nearby garages if driving.
