Neapel Hostels

I revisited this hostel in May 2022 as I had a very good experience the first time when I visited in October 2021. The family who run the hostel are lovely and welcoming, as are all other staff in the hostel. All areas of the hostel including common areas were cleaned regularly and properly. The on site entertainment is fantastic. Inside there is a game console, each evening they serve a cooked meal, there is a bar with music, table tennis, there are board games and the staff put on a pub crawl after dinner into the early hours. There is a big outdoor space with comfortable chairs which is used for social events in the evening. There is also a what's app group chat where all guests who are staying in the hostel can connect with one other. There is a 24 hour reception which makes dropping off and picking up bags at any hour easy. The location is great for a shopping centre, a big supermarket, the airport and the very famous Capodimonte grounds and palace. The hostel isn't central, so it can be a bit daunting to get to, in terms of crossing busy roads and waiting for busy buses. However the hostel staff have a shuttle service which runs guests into the city centre and to the train stations regularly and free of charge. This hostel wouldn't be suitable for a person who wanted to party in Naples every night until the early hours, as it is not central enough to bars and clubs. It is better suited to guests who want to sightsee Naples in the day and then socialise with other guests at night, enjoying the great social life on sight until the early hours and the organised pub crawls which the hostel offers. There is an age limit to this hostel, of 35 years old, and I don't think this is advertised well enough. I saw people arrive at the hostel having already booked on the hostels own website, only to be turned down when showing their i.d. Those who had booked seemed genuinely unaware of the age limit rule. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay here and I would highly recommend this hostel to other travellers!!

The 5 bed female dorm was quite spacious and the ensuite bathroom was quite big, and both were very clean. The buffet breakfast included in the price was varied and delicious. The staff gave me useful advice for my trip. It was really easy to drop my bag off in the morning of check in and pick it up on the evening of check out without having to warn in advance. The location is perfect for taking the Circumvesuviana train to Sorrento or Pompei, or for any train leaving from Central station. The hostel has CCTV around, and I felt very safe there. The rules of the hostel were clear and reasonable. Whilst it's location is central, it is necessary to cross a few busy roads to get to it (especially if you come from Central station or Circumvesuviana) It is also not so well sign-posted but you just need to look carefully for the street number and street name. This hostel doesn't organise parties, bar crawls or evening events but is a place where you can get a good nights' sleep.

I’ve been in the Hostel of the Sun a couple of times and discovered with amazement how charming and delightful it is. I say surprisingly since it is located right in front of the port of Naples, among bus stops, coaches’ pick-up and drop-off points, ticket offices and tourist attractions. As far as I am concerned, in such areas it’s not easy to find decent accommodation. All adequate lodging establishments are high-priced when in the middle of everything, especially during the high season, while turnout is at its peak. On the contrary, the Hostel of the Sun is always inexpensive, and it must be said that it’s not only the price to make a difference. It is also clean, comfortable and lively, whereas in many centrally located hotels I visited I spent two, three times as much with the result of sleeping on shabby mattresses, under worn out, dirty linen and blankets. The filth from congested roads was so invasive that it had changed the colour of the interior walls and I felt I was breathing it in the air. In addition to this, the premises were often run down, depressing, inconvenient. The hostel of the Sun instead, is located on the 6th and 7th floors of a pleasant block of flats, which keeps it away from the noise of the streets and its chaotic environment, from air pollution, garbage, dust, grime and danger. At the moment you enter the lobby of the building you feel out of harm’s way, especially at night, after walking alone in the dark through creepy alleys, in contrast with many cheap hotels that still appear terrifying even when you are under your own sheets. But what struck me the most was the affable, sympathetic atmosphere of the hostel, since I had never found anything warm or gentle near big transport hubs, yet impersonal, confusing, soiled, harsh surroundings and shelters. I think the entire staff deserve a praise for this.

We were a Norwegian school group (aged 14/15 years) and we really appreciated that the hostel were willing to host us for four nights. The rooms and facilities were beyond expectation; clean and well-maintained. Some of our students commented on how lovely it was that each of the dormitory rooms had its own character. The centre courtyard was lovely for early evening meetings and morning gatherings. The breakfast was healthy and fresh with enough to feed everyone. The staff went above and beyond to help us; detailed information about the city, help with maps, help with luggage, help with ordering pizza! and so much more. We were all so very grateful that we had this little haven in the middle of a wonderfully chaotic city. Thank you so much.

Ich habe das nur gebucht, weil ich am nächsten Tag einen sehr frühen Flug hatte und schnell und einfach zu dem Flughafenterminal zu erreichen wollte. Warten Sie nicht auf ein Standardzimmer, da diese Schlafsäcke sind, oder als Rezeption genannt ”Box”. Also, wenn Klaustrophobisch: vermeiden. Während das Bett & Linen sauber waren, gab es kein Zimmer, um Taschen zu platzieren (Ich hatte nur einen kleinen Rückpack, Also war es nicht eine große Sorge) und um meine Hosen für die Nacht zu hängen, habe ich einen kleinen Hüft auf der Wand. Es wird angekündigt, dass es einen ”Arbeitsraum” gibt, der ein Drop-down-Panel ist, das möglicherweise als Spot dienen würde, um über den Cot gefaltete Kleidung über einen Objekt zu platzieren. Es ist kein Arbeitsraum. Ich habe die Nutzung der Dusche mit einer Kombinationsbank für Toiletten/Badewanne/Dusche mit einem zusätzlichen Gebühren für Dusche (Seifen, Handtücher, Flannel) in Erwägung gezogen. Nachdem ich diese Einrichtungen betrachtet habe, habe ich beschlossen, am nächsten Tag ohne Dusche zu fliegen, da mehrere Toiletten-/Dusche-Einheiten aus der Ordnung und die Hygiene für die Betriebseinheiten fragwürdig waren. Was die Einheiten ”geräuschverstärken” betrifft, so würde ich ein großes NO sagen. Ich konnte die Nachbarn klar hören, die in Wände, Schlammtüren und ihre Bewegungen während meines Aufenthalts kämpfen. Im Wesentlichen diente dieser Ort dem Zweck der Bequemlichkeit und schnellen Zugang zum Flughafenterminals. Rezeption ist ziemlich freundlich, hilfsbereit und aufmerksam.

Es liegt ein wenig versteckt im Altstadtviertel von Neapel und von außen wirkt es wenig einladend. Im ersten Stock ist der Eingang und die Rezeption und von dort gelangt man auch in den wunderschönen Gartenbereich. Die Zimmer sind schön und das Personal ist sehr freundlich und kann gut Englisch. In 10 Minuten Fußmarsch ist man mitten in der turbulenten Altstadt. Wenn man, wie wir mit dem Auto anreist, ist die Anfahrt abenteuerlich, da man vor der Unterkunft keine Parkplätze findet. Der Verkehr in Neapel ist das krasseste, was ich in Europa bisher erlebt habe. Ich kann diese Unterkunft nur wärmstens weiterempfehlen.

The staff: amazing. They were some of the most friendly and outgoing people!! They alone made it an amazing stay, so shoutout to them 🩷 The hostel itself was also great! Quite fancy, clean, massive storage drawers under the beds, good sized rooms. The breakfast was yum, so was the free drink on arrival. Omg and they had free stuff in the kitchen for u to make food with. Think olive oil, pasta, tomatoes, zucchini, herbs and spices. LOVE!!! The rooftop was severely underrated, very cool!! Overall an amazing stay, I wish I could come back!!!
