Naples
This central, friendly spot offers hostel and hotel options on two floors. Rooms are pretty nondescript and functional, though all are clean and the more expensive ones come with bay views. The hostel offers four- and six-bed dorms, each with its own bathroom and more beds than bunks. There's also a kitchen and no curfew. Bring €0.05 for the lift on weekdays.
Laundry service costs €7.
