Liked: This is the absolute best hostel i've stayed in. It was my second stay, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first. Very clean, secure, great staff and comfortable facilities. To be honest, there were times where I felt at home, watching television on the couch chatting to new friends.
Disliked: I loved everything

Liked: Amazing. Great instruction but most importantly for me it was the cleanest hostel I've ever been to. the sheets literally looked new before i put them on my bed. The directions make sense as you use them and the staff is very helpful. Plenty of space everywhere.

Liked: i absolutely loved the garden where you could chill and meet people from the hostel, it's also a very big hostel with a lot of common room. we were only there for one night, but if i ever come back to Napels, I'll probably come back to this hostel!

Liked: Clean and easy to get to via the metro, although the metro does not run after 11pm and the ticket inspectors are criminals so be warned. Nice atmosphere in the common areas.
Disliked: Lack power outlets in the dorm and turn down service, which consists of ripping the covers off your bed and folding them at the foot of your bed, not sure what that is meant to achieve. Also there are no restaurants (only a couple of small cafes) near the hostel. But overall it was a great place to stay if you need to stay in Naples.

Liked: I liked that it was tucked in its own private courtyard; we were free to hang out on the grass, use the tables and chairs outside and enjoy a pleasant view from the balcony. My dorm was clean and air-conditioned (programed, I think, since it would be switched on automatically from about 12am-7am). The staff were really friendly and informative; they gave out free maps and ran really interesting tours (which I couldn't join but I would have if I had time!). Being just a few minutes from the metro also helped, and given Naples' reputation for being dangerous, this hostel was in a safe-enough area.
Disliked: They served awfully dry white bread and what tasted like diluted milk for breakfast. But aside from that, it kept me till lunch. It would be great if they could provide eggs or at least Nutella (but it's Italy!) though! There were no plug points in my dorm, which made it hard for me to charge my phone and my netbook. My only option was to head to the common area and hope for a free plug point, and if there was - wait hours for them to be fully charged!

Liked: Cutely decorated with a lot of common areas. There's a bar which gives you one free welcome drink, and a kitchen to store and make food. WiFi is free and the computers are 2 euro for an hour. Staff was very helpful and reception is 24 hours. There are lockers in your rooms which you can use your own padlock on or buy one for a few euros at the front desk. Train station is just up the hill. Breakfast is free but it's only toast and cereal.
Disliked: In a pretty rundown area, but that's Naples for you. The showers don't give you much privacy, but if you're a girl you can use the extra girl's bathroom and lock the door.

Liked: Stayed in a double ensuite room for 2 nights. The room was clean and comfortable, excellent value. Very friendly and helpful front desk and bar staff. This hostel really has a great atmosphere for meeting fellow travellers and the couryard is really nice.
Disliked: Bar and common areas close at midnight due to neighbours in close proximity. Understandable but means you have to venture out late at night if you want to continue socialising.
