Liked: It is very basic but considering you spend all day outdoors it really doesn't matter. The brothers that ran the hostel are super friendly and accomodating!

Disliked: Rooms dont have windows

Liked: The hosts Gabrielle and Fillipo were fantastic! They always had a smile for all their guests and often made sure I was comfortable during my stay. For €25 for a dorm room, you just can't beat the location. Atrani is literally just around the corner from Amalfi which means you are close enough to the action but just far enough away from all the other tourists for some peace and quiet at the end of the day. I also really enjoyed Gabrielle's breakfasts every morning! I booked one night but ended up staying the entire week!

Disliked: An indoor common area where you can chill out, make yourself at home and meet other guests would be nice. The piazza is good during the day but can get a little chilly during the night in Spring.

Liked: this hostel is the only one for Amalfi and is in atrani. this town itself doesnt have much to offer but the staff here and very helpful with maps, walks and is only a scenic 5 minute walk to Amalfi. For those who cant afford expensive accomodation in Amalfi highly recommend this cheaper option

Disliked: brooke left no negative feedback.

Liked: The hostel owner was very nice, and got us fresh croissants one morning.

Disliked: We went while there was a flood, so the conditions were less than good and there was no hot water or internet. We also lost power for a little.
