03 July 2008 colin would recommend this property

Liked: This hostel is very nice but hard to find. Make sure you have a good google map to the hostel and get off the metro at the right street entrance (the metro stop has 2 street entrances). Once you have found it it is very nice. The staff is very firendly and the internet is cheap. There are also lockers for each person and a lively bar at night. The hostel is in a residential neighborhood outside of downtown naples so we felt very safe. Be warned in naples, very few people speak english.

30 June 2008 Virginia would recommend this property

Liked: The kitchen was great, they even had little sandwich bags for you to make your lunch. The airconditioning was nice once we realised we had it in our room, which also meant we could close the windows so it was much quieter!

27 June 2008 Becky would recommend this property

Liked: The staff were really helpful and friendly and from the hostel its really easy to get around naples as the metro is just at the top of the road.The guy who worked behind the bar while we were there was ace.Also Naples is nothing like people make out, we walked around feeling safe day and night and thought it was a great city. Would stay here again.

24 June 2008 Laura would recommend this property

Liked: 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.
