Koine' Hostel Reviews

This hostel has the potential to be a good hostel but unfortunately it is far from that. The other people staying there seem to actually live there and arent very friendly (and they are all in their thirties or older) I stayed there by myself (I am a solo female traveller) and felt very alienated, there was no one there to socialise with. The bathrooms were cleaned once a day but the other people using them are not very clean at all so they were pretty filthy. Showers were not in cubicles.

Very efficient manageress who speaks very good english and is very helpful. Security of lockable wardrobes not great but there are lockers. There is a washing machine and dryer. I did not see any cooking facilities. Very good value for money. Large clean rooms and beds. Open plan showers. Coffee machine. Near bus and train station. There are boats along Amalfi coast. Hostel open 24hrs. Food shops nearby and lots of pizza places. Salerno has a medieval Quarter. I would stay there again.

This hostel was terrible. It seemed like people off the streets were living in there and people were just walking in all over the shop, as there was no lock on the front door. The owner checking you in smokes in his office and I think some guests do to. Which makes the whole building smell. I would not recommend staying here by yourself, but if you are in a group it would be okay for the cheap price. It is only a 15 min walk to the train station.

You get what you pay for in this sense. Every room and locker has a lock on it which makes your feel safe you're stuff won't be stolen. The staff spoke VERY basic English. All maps and brochures there in Italian. Kind of a rough crowd was staying there. You have to pay for internet. Not the best overall atmosphere but if you are looking for a cheap place to crash without your stuff being stolen this is ideal. Descent 15 min walk from the train station.

It's at least 15 minutes of brisk walking to get to Koine from the station. Staff was friendly and helpful. Women's restroom was DISGUSTING!!! FYI:For those from the US, there were no seats on the toilet and the shower was a stall with four heads, not seperate stalls. Though it was nearly December, rainy and cold, they did not turn on the heat until nearly 8pm and the heating unit was already cold by the time we were up at 7 so it was chilly in the room.
