We had a great stay. Reception not 24 hrs but they had a responsive emergency WhatsApp. Very friendly and fun vibe, made us feel at home in an area we weren’t so sure about. Great value for price.

Great vibes. Excellent breakfast. Very social place. On the downside, things could be a little cleaner. Also, they need some air fresheners or something for dorm rooms. No privacy curtains on beds. Overall a very nice experience.

Hostelworld says

Hostel of the Sun is in an excellent location overlooking the bay and is just 10 minutes' walk from Piazza Trieste e Trento and the Galleria di Palazzo Zevallo Stigliano. In fact, it's an easy walk to all of the historic centre of Naples. This hostel features a wide range of private rooms and dorms and Hostelworld guests have compared it favourably to a hotel. We like that the friendly staff have great suggestions for local restaurants and sights off the beaten track.
