A bit further away from center and party places. metro line is nearby (few mins walk uphil) but closes arround 23h. Secure, limited access to outside ppl. Bad smell at most of the building where the rooms are + toilets. Shower was flooding a little. the AC in my room barely worked or it didn't at all, so was hot all day and night. Staff tried to fix it but there wasnt any difference. Older ppl (50+) also stay there. Not the most social hostel.

The staff was very friendly, but the hostel was very dirty and smelled bad. There was black mold around one of the ACs. All of the showers and sinks had drainage problems. There was constantly some bad smell everywhere. Although the staff was nice, the hostel needs massive renovations.

Hostelworld says

La Controra Hostel Naples is located 15 minutes' walk from Certosa di San Martino and is about 20 minutes from the rest of the historic centre. It's also located very near a metro station, so it's easy to get all around the city quickly. This hostel's most popular feature is its very large grassy courtyard as well as their free, highly praised breakfast. Hostelworld guests tell us the staff are "great and helpful" and that they'd definitely stay here again.
