Great location and a very nice staff. However we have booked a private room and it was totally not worth the price. The shower was broken, hot water was not available. The double bed had two single matress, what made the it really hard to sleep in two people on it, as they would fall apart all night long. The room was not very clean either. The staff and the place was really cool, but I would not recommend booking the private room at all, as there were many better options in town for a lower price. p.s: I asked for a hairdryer and 2 of them were broken. I had to wait a day for someone to stop using the third one that was working for me to be able to us e it.

The best hostel ever! The staff is really friendly and helpful. The hostel is near the metro, they have a good breakfast and a bar with normal prices. :)

Staff very friendly. Bit far from sights but easy by metro. Didn't have air con in our room, just a fan which wasn't advertised. Showers didn't work the best. Not enough keys for rooms. Although area seemed safe, two people got robbed on the street close by. Atmosphere was fantastic. Great having a kitchen, bar and cheap food available. Great courtyard, hang out space and music. Well recommended

Helpful and friendly multilingual staff, common areas designed for people to meet (especially with the barbecue on May 1st), possibility to rent laptops, calm location, close enough to city center. Nothing to complain; if I come back in Napoli I'll go there again.

Just about everything you expect from a good hostel. Was clean, had helpful staff and a good looking bar and kitchen area. Location isn't the best in my opinion but there's a metro station not too far away.

Tres propre. Quelques casiers sont brisés et l'ai climatisé ne fonctionne pas dans toutes les chambres. Il en a été le cas pour nous mais nous avons fait la demande de changer de chambre et la réception a accepté. La terrasse est tres grande et ils offrent un cocktail de bienvenue le soir de votre arrivée!

Great place, although a bit far from the city center. But there is a metro to reach a center, a train station and other places. Separate showers, enough space for cooking, bar, garden, nice staff. Just enjoy :)

This hostel is stunningly good. I was a bit overwhelmed by Naples and coming back to the hostel was my favorite part of every day. The staff are so LAID BACK! But they run a clean, fun, cool looking place. The beds are so comfortable and clean and quiet...and if you want noise and fun, you can go down to the yard where they have bbqs and parties now and then. Basically, whether you are going for party or for peace, it's the place, which is unusual. A great refuge in a crazy city! 100 percent all the way.

Very nice set up. Not too far from the historical center. Naples in general is nothing too special but if you decide to visit the city then I recommend this hostel

The hostel is really difficult to find, but it's not really far from a metro station. That's the only negative point I have. Staff are really nice, rooms are clean, breakfast is good... I had great time!

This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in. It's very clean, dorms are nice, the staff is also great, they help you with advices and tips about Naples and surroundings. I especially liked the large common areas, like kitchen and living room, where you can cook and eat your own food, watch tv or movie, play cards and meet other travellers. Breakfast is included in the price, and consists of cereals, marmelade, honey, milk, tea, juice and canned fruit. I can recommend this place to everyone, and for my summer vacation in Naples I will stay here again. 100 of 100 points :)

This hostel was amazing!!! Everyone should come to Naples just to stay here!! It was so clean and the staff was absolutely wonderful, right down to the owners. I would highly recommend people to stay here. In fact, I increased the amount of days I stayed in Naples due to this hostel. Had a little incident with the metro police and they bent over backwards to try and help me!!!! It was also very clean, and had a massive kitchen with everything you could need to cook for yourself, a bar, and a patio. You could also walk to pretty much all the places as they were about 15 minutes away in any direction for the most part!! This was one of the best hostels I have been in!!!

Well, it was my second experience in the "hostels' world" and I can write that it was also a good impression.

The position is next to the subway station, not too far from the city center, but I think the most important things are out of the center in Naples... :)

The staff is friendly and they enjoy their work, good to see them.

They prefer english, and it was a little surprise for me, because we are in Italy, but it wasn't problem...

I think this hostel is optimal for young people to spend some days in Naples.

Thanks

Incredible hostel, one of my favoites. Doesn't have hammocks like the website currently says, though. However they had a jazz concert arranged. Much better in my opinion.

I never see a youth hostel so clean. The staff is very helpful and nice.

If you have heavy luggages, I advise you to take the bus instead of the subway. Indeed, when you arrive Piazza Garibaldi station, take the bus R2 up to Piazza Municipio and the bus R1 up to the station Salvatore Rosa. That avoids many steps between the different stations.

Nevertheless, I thank a lot of for having provided me with information on the situation of the hostel.

Last thing, the lift is great.
