This is one of the worst hostel type of hotels where they don't provide a towel and charges 2 euros for you to have a towel in your room/toilet.This place mainly used for housing migrants.I will not my right sense recommend this place to my friends or anyone,

We really appreciate our stay at the hostel. You ll find a common hostel accommodation. It is clean and near to the station, the crew is friendly and cool. The internet connection just broke down when we ve been there, but they had been working on it. I personally enjoyed the stay especially because its a place where u also can meet refugees who are staying there as well. Its a nice opportunity to meet people who have gone through a lot of trouble just for a chat or just to meet at all.

And girls, don't worry: its a nice save place

Walls are paper-thin (you can hear your neighbours breathing, not to mention snoring), hot water available between 2-5pm most of the time it's simply ice cold so forget about an evening or morning shower; internet worked occassionally, and so slowly that it's impossible to check anything.

Optimal position and very good prices. Be awared tho that there is no air conditioning in the rooms, and during the summer it can be pretty uncomfortable to sleep in the dorms

Difficult journey from airport. Walk to bus stop, try not to get run over. No dire tons to underground. I was walking round an unsafe area. Finally found underground. Lots of steps. Virtually no English spoken. Train is 4 stops. Long walk up a hill to the hostel. Again little English spoken. Older man unfriendly and didn't explain anything. Although he did change my room and show me how the shutters worked. They don't cater for English speaking tourists and are disinterested

The place is nice the two serious issues are: members of staff know little English so they are not as helpful as you might expect and the internet doesn't work. Plus "complimentary Italian breakfasts" means a coffee and a piece of bread with jam.

For the price, it was a good deal (had it not been for my difficulties with the metro strikes). But both the inside and outside areas surrounding the building are not beautiful at all. But it was very clean (I'm not sure if that had to do with the fact not many people were staying at the time). It only takes about 5 minutes to walk to the metro station which is convenient if there are no strikes.

When I stayed, there were strikes on the line leading from this metro station to the naples central station for two of the three days I was there. It was very inconvenient trying to get from here to the central areas (to the historic center of naples and to naples central station you need to get to many major spots like pompeii, etc.) If you are really considering this hostel and If you want to use the metro as your main means of transportation getting to central naples, I recommend you check when the strike are. But if you have the money for taxis or are bus savvy (there are many buses and bus stops so it could be a bit confusing knowing which one to get on) then it shouldn't be an issue. I lost lots of time because of the metro not running and me not wanting to spend the extra for expensive taxis and taking a while to figure out the buses. The staff were ok- not particularly friendly, but not unfriendly either.

....their attentiveness to customers is what I would expect from an eastern block country....not Italy...apathy or ignorance...the results are the same....

In quiet area near the Vatican, Lots of rooms and toilets, great lounge area and the kitchen. Comfortable beds, but you only get a very thin blanket and an extra sheet if you ask for it 3 times. In april I had to sleep in my clothes

It is a very quiet youth hostel located in a hill. Generally it is a nice and cheap place to stay. The room is a bit too small and the setting of bathroom is a bit wierd.
