It was a good hostel and I appreciate the breakfast a lot! The things I will change are: - manteniance of the blankets (they are very old) - lockers with padlock or keys - manteniance of the lockers (tables on the back ate all broken and you can easly access ones lockers from the back) - signs in Bathrooms and Dinner room so guests can know the rules of the hostel (the ladies bathrooms where entirely dirty because of the guests and not because of the hostel, the same with the bar, kitchen...)

staff is quite friendly and helpful. But there is nothing to eat in the breakfast but cereal and marmelade. Location is safe but a bit out of center, it is easy to find it though.

This is the first time I have stayed at a Hostel. I was not sure what to expect, but was pleased to find a very clean room, comfortable bed, helpful friendly people at the front desk, and a good selection for breakfast. I would consider staying at a hostel again in the future and would certainly stay at this one again !

Although it is said that Naples is not a very safe place to choose to spend your vacation I have seen it very friendly. The hostel is very safe, there were some events organized in the evenings really cool atmosphere. The offer "Get a drink and receive free pasta" was really cool! You have many usefull information posted in all reception and you can have a really relaxing time in the interior garten. Also you can choose different tours or just choose to rent a movie/game/book and chill around.

A great hostel, and further evidence that you can find great hostels that are not expensive in Europe. Good atmosphere, a bar with cheap prices. Free breakfast and wifi great. Communal kitchen. Bathrooms could be better, but for the price one of the best I've stayed in Europe.

Hostel was in a sketchy area but was secure itself. Rooms were big, clean, good locker space but there was only one outlet to charge your things in the entire room. Washroom facilities were not that good, on my floor there was 1 lockable washroom to shower in and showers DO NOT STAY HOT for more then 2 min. Dinner was false advertised, the guy there makes one thing of pasta and thats it! He makes a separate meal and has a party in the back for his friends, soo weird! its ok for a place to sleep.

The hostel is close to the metro station, and that's a great position to go anywhere (just a bit out-of-the-way for the port). The hostel has a beautiful garden where you can relax, with free wifi. The kitchen and the common room are quite small, but they were cozy and friendly. Our room was a nice double, but the floor was quite dirty and dusty, and though the hostel has been recently renovated, on the wall the plaster was striped off. if your room is close to the bar, it gets noisy at night!!

Should NOT be classified a hostel, but a SUPER HOSTEL. Incredibly clean & intelligently set BATHROOMS, spacious and conditioned ROOMS with lockers for everyone. TV, BOOKS, PCs & WIFI. Interior PUB with cheap drinks, vibrant music. Abundant, energetic & fruity BREAKFAST. Located on the crossroad of the most important/well-connected sight & Metro stations of Naples.
