This is our Budget pick in Pompei. It suits couples, families and anyone who wants to walk to the archaeological site and keep the room cost down. Family rooms are listed, and the breakfast covers continental, Italian, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, which helps if someone in your group has dietary needs.
It is a 3-star hotel. If you want more space or a higher category, look at our Best Value and Luxury picks instead. Also skip it if your main plan is Vesuvius or Oplontis on foot: both are far.
Location and how to get around
The address is Via Sacra trav. S.Abbondio 12. Guests give the location 9.6 out of 10, and they describe it as central yet quiet, close to the train station, restaurants and the archaeological site.
Distances are straight-line estimates and have not been verified on the ground. The Amphitheatre of Pompeii is 0.7 km away, about 9 minutes on foot. Oplontis is 4.2 km away, roughly 53 minutes, so that is too far to walk comfortably; use public transport or a taxi. Vesuvius National Park is 10 km away, about 125 minutes on foot, which means you will need transport.
What guests say
Hotel Diana scores 9.1 out of 10 from 1,398 guest reviews. On review score it sat joint 4th of 10 eligible properties in the provider sample.
Guests like the location most: central, quiet, and close to the station and the ruins. Staff are described as friendly and professional, with helpful advice and help with luggage.
Our data shows no recurring complaints. That does not mean there are none, so read a few recent reviews before booking, especially about room size and noise.
Price and how it compares with our other two picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov, 2 adults, one room) were €80.25 per night here. That was 34% below the sample median of €121.90. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
For that you get a 3-star room, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a restaurant, a garden and a terrace, according to the property.
Our Best Value pick, Hotel Vittoria, is a 4-star with a 9.2 score at €152 per night. Our Luxury pick, Grand Hotel Royal, is also 4 stars with 9.4 at €117 per night. In this sample the Luxury pick came in cheaper than the Best Value one, so compare all three for your own dates. Hotel Diana still saves you around €37 a night against Grand Hotel Royal.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 10 hotels in Pompei. Hotel Diana had the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice was set aside, and it pairs that price with a 9.1 score from almost 1,400 reviews. Cheap and well rated is the combination we look for in a Budget pick.
