One of the most wonderful hostels I’ve ever stayed at. It feels more like a charming villa than a typical hostel. It’s set in a beautiful, historic building with high ceilings, tall windows, spacious rooms, and a cozy courtyard with palm trees — a truly lovely and peaceful spot right in the city. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming. The rooms are clean, full of character, and have gorgeous city views. The beds are comfortable and sturdy, and everything is kept neat and spotless. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful — always smiling, always ready to make your stay more enjoyable. One of the biggest highlights for me was the food: the hostel serves delicious homemade meals and cocktails, which was such a treat after a long day out when I didn’t feel like finding a restaurant. It honestly saved me more than once! Breakfasts are hearty, fresh, and full of flavor — and having them in the courtyard on the terrace was the perfect start to each day. The entire place is well cared for and full of charm, and even the guests staying here felt like part of the vibe — interesting, open, and easy to talk to. The location is also ideal — close to the city center, metro, and main transport hubs, making it perfect for exploring Naples on foot or by public transport. I’m truly grateful for the hospitality. This place left a lasting impression, and I’d love to come back. The architecture, the atmosphere, the people — everything inspires you to return. Highly recommended!

I loved pretty much everything about this Hostel. It was my first time traveling solo and picking hostels, so I am very pleased with this cherry pop of mine. The staff are warm and charismatic, the inner garden - beautiful, the other guests are friendly and well-behaved. The atmosphere is all around welcoming, really lovable and hard to leave behind. The drink/food options at the evening bar are also worth the price. Overall, I recommend this hostel greatly - it's got itself figured out neatly in pretty much all of its aspects.

The everyday servings of dinner could be just a tad bigger and maybe leaning a little less on vegetarian foods. The same could be said about breakfast - I'm not a big breakfast guy, so I didn't personally experience any problems with this, but I do think there is room for more variations of breakfast meals. Also, I would recommend just making more of everything.

Great location that’s very close to a local train station (5 minute walk). The hostel felt secure with the 24/7 reception and keyed lockers provided in the dorm rooms. Very clean rooms and bathrooms! I didn’t make use of the kitchen facilities or breakfast, but when I rushed past one morning, it looked good!

This is quite a big hostel and for that reason it might be slightly harder to meet other travellers here.. although every night there is some kind of activity that you can involve yourself in.

The rooms are a very good size, plenty of space to move around even with lots of guests. The beds are comfortable, have a light and socket at your head which is very convenient. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Location is great, you're a short walk to at least two well connected metro stations, Old Town is around a 25 minute walk, and various other hot spots are all within reach. I highly recommend this hostel.

The bar is only open in the evening, it would be nice to have it open during the afternoon as well, but I appreciate this requires extra staffing.

The rooms are big and the garden is awesome. It‘s easy to socialize but you also have space to be at your own of you want to. I‘m personally not a fan of having the shower and the toilet is in the same room but there were 6 bathrooms on the floor so I never had to queue, even in the busiest hours. (I was staying on the second floor, but heard that it‘s kinda the same on the first floor) Breakfast is not the typical hostel style with toast and Marmelade, they also offer cereals and scrambled eggs. Staff is amazing and helps you with everything. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend it!

You have to pay extra to get a dorm with curtains. Not that much of a deal but based on my experience a hostel has either non at all or all rooms have curtains. That’s not enough to reduce some points but it‘s still a bit odd. Would stay there again nevertheless

The atmosophere in the hostel was the best. The volunteers and employees where great. Also prices of drinks and food was very good.

The room was really to basic for the price. We paid EUR 120 - EUR 100 per night. The shower had problems with the water drainage. It was not really clean due to the oldness of the room. Further we had only two power plugs. It was really hostal quality. So you should not see this hostal as a Selina or Viajero hostel & hotel concept but more like a real hostel with a great community but you also get the cleaniness of it.

I was lucky, I got a bed in a room with curtains around beds and that was very nice! Inside: small shelf, light, electric plug. Lockers in every room. I loved the whole place - the garden, kitchen, bar and staff. The idea of a dinner for 5euro with a drink was amazing. I was travelling solo and this idea let you meet people every evening to socialize and talk about activities. I enjoyed.

Some rooms are located from the front side of the building, where there is a quite busy street - and you know, Italians and driving - it might get crazy ;)

Very friendly and helpful staff, smooth check-in and check-out, clean rooms, a quiet neighborhood with nearby metro and bus stops, a good breakfast, and a spacious, open garden inside the building. The reception was open 24/7, but it would be really convenient to use a key instead of ringing the doorbell and waiting for someone to open the door every time we wanted to enter the building.

The shared kitchen was too small, and the WiFi and mobile network connection was poor in the room on the 2nd floor. I often needed to go down to the garden or living room to get a decent internet connection.

The staff were super friendly and helpful. The breakfast (free) and dinner (included with a drink 5 euros or more) were both really good. The facilities were clean.

The air conditioning didn't work very well. The beds made a springy noise so it was a bit hard not to wake up everyone else when you moved onto or from it.

The receptionist was helpful and I liked the chill vibe. I appreciate that their breakfast was freshly prepared with variety of choice :) the location was also great, had the lovely evening stroll around the bustling area. Small stores and coffee shop, street food vendors are in handy distance :) super grateful for the luggage storage at the reception!

It took me a while to find the hostel from the metro Montesanto station, I ended up going up a lot of stairs in a maze like alleyways which was fun enough ! The hostel provided me with a thorough guide from another station upon booking though I happened to take different route :p
