Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Check-in limited to daytime hours — Check-in is only from 08:00 to 23:59, so if you arrive late at night you'll need to plan ahead, despite the 24-hour reception.
  • Check-out at 10:00 — A relatively early check-out time of 10:00 may feel rushed for those who like a slow morning.
  • Dormitory living — Guests in shared dorms should expect shared bathrooms and the usual bustle of a hostel, though private rooms with private bathrooms are available.
  • No on-site parking mentioned — If you're driving, you'll need to look for public parking nearby, as the hostel doesn't list its own parking.
  • Comfort scores slightly lower — Comfort gets an 8.0 rating, a touch below the hostel's other scores, which may reflect the hostel-style beds or noise.

“The location was perfect, right by the sea and easy to reach the old town. The staff were helpful and gave us great tips. The bar with a small balcony and the cosy lobby were lovely spots to meet travellers from all over. The room was comfortable and the air conditioning kept us cool in the heat.”

“Everything is within walking distance. The rooms are nicely decorated and some have balconies with great views. Breakfast comes with decent coffee and a huge jar of Nutella on every table - a real treat. The rooms with the big balcony are worth the upgrade.”

“Very good value. The bathrooms are spacious with room for your things, and you can do your own laundry. They helped set up excursions around Naples. Having a locker for personal items was handy, and everything was clean.”

“Very clean room. The staff are nice and welcoming. It's easy to get to most sights, and the shuttle from the airport, port and bus station stops right next to the hostel.”
