We loved this place. You can take the train, but we walked (probably 20 mins?) from the train station. It's down a random street, and on a random floor, but once you get inside you'll love it. We stayed for two nights and from the moment we stepped in the door, we felt so welcomed and at home! Harriet and... More

The staff were so extremely friendly and helpful. They gave a great itinerary for our 3 day stay, including recommendations for restaurants and day-trips. It really seemed like they loved their jobs and the people they would interact with. They helped reassure us that Napoli was somewhat safer than what our previous research made it seem to be. FYI the... More

I've brought two groups of university students to Naples (once two years ago, and then two weeks ago), and both times we've stayed at the Hostel of the Sun. The students have been delighted on both occasions. The staff understand that Naples can be an intimidating city, so the first thing they did is give us an orientation to both... More

I cannot praise the staff highly enough, they were absolutely fabulous & nothing was too much trouble for them. A very friendly place in a very convenient location, even the bus from the airport stops 2 minutes away. The value for money was exceptional & we shall not hesitate to book this hostel again!

We booked a twin bed room in the Hostel of the Sun based on reviews and we were so right to do so. Room was immaculate, with private facilities, free wifi and towels. Great ambience and fantastically helpful staff, who were full of good advice - one even recognised us in the city on her day off and helped us... More

We went to Naples against the advice of most people we spoke to about the place and had a thoroughly good time. The hostel was clean, comfortable, had a nice atmosphere and great staff! Loved the fact that you help yourself to beer from the fridge and pay for them when you were ready to, it felt like going back... More

The pizza from the restaurant they order from is AMAZING! Another bonus is... More

This place is absolutely fantastic. The staff are amazing: friendly, personable, and very helpful. The atmosphere is very friendly, and the common area is a great place to meet people, especially if you're traveling solo and looking for people to hang out with. It's clean and well run, the breakfast is good, and the location is unbeatable for Naples. Overall,... More
