Reviews of Fabric Hostel and Club

11 October 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Hostel in NOT IN NAPLES it's in Portici - which is closeish to Herculaneum and only 22mins on train to Pompeii. Be careful not to get the express trains as they don't stop in Portici.Free internet is good. They don't give you a towel like it says they do on the website. I was there September so I guess the end of season but they were no longer doing meals and the club was closed.

07 October 2009 Shelby would recommend this property

Liked: I ended up staying an extra night. Even though it is not downtown Naples there is so much to offer around the hostel. The waterfront, Pompeii, and Sorrento are all just a train ride away. The people were great, the staff was helpful. I checked out and didn't have to catch my train until later but they let me stay in the common room which was great!

05 October 2009 Julie would recommend this property

Liked: The staff were very helpful with brochures and maps, friendly and available. Reception operates much later than many other hostels, and the bunk bed matress was very comfortable. WC certainly capable to support many guests, as morning congestion often requires. It is a bit of a jaunt from the train station, but if you're backpacking well, that's kind of the point isn't it?

05 October 2009 Lucas would recommend this property

Liked: Great value for money. Everything is really new, only bummer was they were renovating their restaurant and bar area which looks like it will be done in about a week : ( nice place, friendly people, good location for pompei and sorrento. Felt safe!

03 October 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Really nice accomodations. Best shower I've had in Italy. The location isn't perfect (not much night life) but it's probably the best you can do in Naples that's cheap and safe. P.S. The best part of Naples is the stretch from Piazza Plebiscita down to the water to the Castel dell'Ovo. Go straight there--other places are pretty sketch. Loved Fabric!

26 September 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Big spacious rooms and lockers. A good place to explore Pompei and Amalfi coast from as it wasn't in the middle of Naples. It was very quiet and the club/restaurant attached to the hostel was closed.

09 September 2009 Valerie would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel was a good value the main drawback it that the last metro is at 10:30. There are night buses though, i just personally find it easier to take the subway.

03 September 2009 Brittney would recommend this property

Liked: The Fabric was AMAZING. I would highly recommend it even if I consider only the positive physical aspects of the hostel: it's a perfect distance outside of the heart of Naples, right along the Naples-Sorrento metro line (perfect for seeing the city as well as Pompeii, Sorrento and Capri); it was super clean; there's free internet; it's close to some cafes and pizzerias; and right next to an awesome market. HOWEVER - what really made our experience so great was the AWESOME staff. Pamela and Luca in partifulcar were sooo nice and helpful. Our last day in the area ran late and we were without a room for the night, and the hostel was booked solid... so they let us sleep on the couches!! Incredibly kind, friendly people, who made an otherwise good hostel experience an excellent one. Oh, and they have 1 euro bottles of beer... can't beat that!! Thank so much the great stay... we'll be back!! :)

27 August 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: i liked that it was far away from creepy downtown naples. i did NOT like that they describe hourly trains as trains that run 'every few minutes' and i also did not like the way they described the location. they are not steps from the train, the fastest i ever made it (practically running) was 12 minutes from the hostel to the circomvesuviana.that said, nice place and nice people and liked the location just wished they were more honest in the distances and the like.

21 August 2009 Anthony would recommend this property

Liked: Location, location, location. This place is a LONG walk from the train. On top of that, it's definitely not the friendliest of neighborhoods. There is nothing to do around this place. Stay in Sorrento instead.

Disliked: Anthony left no negative feedback.

19 August 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The staff were lovely and did everything they could to make you feel at home. Breakfast was one of the best offered at any hostel I've stayed at so far. I couldn't really ask for more.The only drawback is to be prepared for the erratic hot and cold water but this was a small issue and really not worth considering against the plus points

18 August 2009 Amanda would recommend this property

Liked: This hostel was the cleanest and nicest of all the ones on our entire trip so far! It did not suite its location, but it was nice to be out of the city and new transit to Pompei and Sorrento. I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone traveling to Naples.

Disliked: Amanda left no negative feedback.

17 August 2009 nicola would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel is modern, clean and really nicely set out. There is free internet, cheap beer and food (3euros pasta dishes), a communal area with plasma screen tv and table tennis table. You also get 2 big lockers in the dorm, plus your own personal mini fan and light above your bed! Staff are friendly. Location-wise its a one euro train ride from naples, or from pompei (about 15 mins for either journey) and we had heard negative things about naples (ddogy and unsafe). I would reccomment this hostel to anyone - fantastic hostel and so so cheap!

14 August 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: I liked that it was in a renovated former fabric factory - this was a great feature and was a big part of the hostel experience. The club attached to the hostel is a great idea but I think it was more active in winter. The discounted italian dinners were a very nice touch.
