Cheap food to buy which is amazing- pack of spaghetti cost 1 euro! We stayed there the night of the Italy vs. Spain soccer game and the hostel had a put a big screen TV in the courtyard. While everyone watched the game, we also had a bbq and got to know some really nice people. The staff is great- very helpful with directions! The city of Naples is very sketchy and unsafe, but the hostel is wonderful and I felt very safe. We had booked 3 beds in a 6 person bedroom and actually ended up having the room to ourselves which was really nice. There is also a computer station (1 euro for 30 mins), a bar, a breakfast area, a kitchen and dorm style bathrooms. If you're coming from the Napoli Centrale train station, make sure to get off at the Piazza Cavour metro stop to transfer to the metro that goes the other way (this station is called Museo) and then ride that metro to the Salvator Rosa stop. We ended up getting lost since we didn't switch over and no one knew where the Hostel's Piazetta was (not even the police) and no one could speak English- in fact, the police tried to speak to us in French. We ended up having to give in to a taxi ride. It is a very far walk/metro ride to the ferry that we took to Capri. It's an easy bus ride, but Naples does not sell bus tickets on Sundays. Otherwise, great location outside the heart of the city. Very modern place. I would definitely stay here again.

Friendly and helpful staff, free wireless (although it did not always work), clean and pretty hostel. It is a little hard to find at night though, so try to arrive during the day.

Clara was an amazing hostess who showed us the real Firenze. I had a great time and will stay here again for sure. The breakfast served in your bedroom in the morning is the highlight. We met so many great people in the hostel too and had a great time.
