Napoli has got to be the coolest city in Europe. It's fast and busy and loud and dirty and grand and humble and friendly. That's right, friendly. They are the most friendly people I've come across in Italy. You hear all the bad stories about the place, and you can see that the city has struggled at times, but the... More

We stayed here in January 2012 and were pleasantly surprised. Staff was very friendly, the room was clean and it included breakfast. The room, we learned later in our travels, was huge in comparison to usual European standards. We had plenty of space and it was a good base to be able to get to Pompeii, Vesuvius, etc. More

This is a cool little hostel with friendly staff and a good base for travelling to pompei/sorrento. When we arrived me and my friends nearly cracked up laughing walking into the building..we thought 'here we go again' after some of the horrible places we had just stayed in during our trip through Italy. However when we reached reception we were... More

My bestie and I decided to visit Naples and chose Hostel of the Sun because of its truly stellar reviews. Let's cut to the chase.  Have you guys ever been to pre-Mother Teresa Calcutta? No worries, you can still see it - just visit the living embodiment of a third world city in the West.  It's called Naples. We arrived... More

This would work mostly well for all hostel seekers. The location is quite central, but be warned that Naples is not as small as Florence, so there maybe a little bit of walking to do (which will seem a lot more in the cold) to go see the sights. A majority of the ensuites are very modern, well maintained and... More

When I read that this place is one of the top ten hostels in the world according to Hostelworld, I decided that I just have to stay here. With that kind of review, my expectations were high. It turns out to be in a decent location in a nondescript building with dorm rooms that are a bit crowded and just... More

My wife and I stayed here over christmas in a private room with bathroom. I was a little dubious at first as had never stayed in a hostel like this before and was concerned the room would be budget. How wrong I was. I can categorately state that we would not have enjoyed our trip to naples anywhere near as... More

The staff was knowledgeable and the breakfast was much better than most hostels. Small elevator which required a coin to ride which added character! We had a private room which was one floor below the common room so it was very quiet and easy to sleep. Naples has a reputation for not being the safest place but we felt very... More
