B&B Aminei Metro, clean rooms and the metro on the doorstep in Naples
The B&B Aminei Metro is a family-run bed and breakfast in Naples, Campania, opposite the Colli Aminei metro stop. It is not in the historic centre, but the metro gets you to the sights. I recommend it for cleanliness, friendly hosts and convenience, less so if you want to live in the old town.

Mapiola is a travel blog: this is not the official website of B&B Aminei Metrò.
Where the B&B is and how to get there
The B&B Aminei Metro is in Naples, on Cupa Imparato, in a residential building right next to the Colli Aminei metro stop. The metro is practically on your doorstep, and that is the main reason many guests choose it.
Several guests say you can get from there without much effort to Via Toledo and the main sights of the city. One mentions parking right outside, which in Naples is not a small thing. If you arrive at Capodichino, you can ask the B&B about the airport shuttle, which costs extra.
Let's be clear: this is not the historic centre. If you dream of walking out the door and into the alleys, this is not the right area. If a comfortable metro ride is enough, the picture changes.
What the rooms are like and what the B&B offers
The rooms are simple, modern and kept with great care. Guests talk about a new place with clean-lined furnishings and a homely feel, and the property's description adds that some rooms have views over the city.
Here is what it offers, according to the information I have:
- Free Wi-Fi throughout the property.
- Italian breakfast, which guests who tried it describe as generous, with plenty of choice.
- Towels and bed linen available for a fee, so ask first what is included in the price.
- Airport shuttle to Naples Capodichino, on request and for a fee.
Do not expect hotel services. It is a family-run place, and its strength is simplicity done well, not luxury.
What guests say
The Google rating is 4.3 from 44 reviews, and the ones I read, including those on other platforms, repeat the same points. The overall picture is very positive, with one voice standing apart.
These come up most often:
- Cleanliness, described as spotless by almost everyone.
- The hosts' kindness, mentioned as helpful, friendly and professional.
- The practical location, with the metro stop a few metres away.
- Breakfast, generous and varied.
Several guests chose the B&B for very concrete reasons: an entrance test for a specialisation school near the Biotechnology faculty, or a weekend of visits with a daughter studying medicine. Another said B&Bs are not usually his thing, but he changed his mind here and would like to return.
What to know before you book
The downsides are few, but it is worth knowing them. The first is the distance from the centre: you get around by metro rather than on foot, and you should allow travel time to reach the most touristy neighbourhoods.
The second is that the B&B is inside a residential building. There is no hotel-style entrance, so check the address and the directions carefully before you go.
Then there is the negative review, the only one-star rating among those I read. A guest who had to stay near the hospital for family reasons describes a landlady who was not friendly and a price she found excessive. It is an isolated case set against all the others praising the kindness, but I would ask for the final price, with or without linen included, before confirming.
Who the B&B suits
I would choose it if you want a clean, quiet and well-connected B&B, without any pretence of luxury. It works well for couples, for families with one child, and for anyone coming to Naples for a specific reason, such as an exam, a medical visit or a wedding.
I would not recommend it if you want to stay in the heart of the historic centre, go out in the evening on foot between bars and alleys, or need hotel-style services with a reception that is always open. In that case, look elsewhere.
What to see near Naples and the B&B
From the B&B Aminei Metro you can easily reach some of Naples' most interesting places. The property's description mentions the Museo and Real Bosco di Capodimonte and the Catacombs of San Gennaro, both a short distance away.
By metro you reach the National Archaeological Museum and Via Toledo, and you can also visit the smaller catacombs such as San Gaudioso. If you love culture and prefer to move at a relaxed pace, this base lets you plan full days without looking for parking.
In short, the B&B Aminei Metro in Naples is a practical, honest and well-kept choice, with the metro as its real ace up the sleeve. Before you book, ask what the price includes and what time it is best to arrive.
