Meant to stay 2 nights and ended up here for 4. Very nice place with heaps to do around the area. Awesome facilities and staff. Great loaction outside of Naples. Only bummer was the cold showers but not very many women around so probably a good thing....

this hostel was great - very funky and modern with a good chill out area or a bar in the building as well. There is a really great pizza place up the street with amazing pizzas for cheap.

Overall one of the best places we've stated and certainly the cleanest. Only criticism would be the tiny showers with no room for modesty but I would definitely stay there again.close

really modern and nice place, nice location between Napoli and Pompei. It has great free entertainment stuff in common area and the restaurant/club attached to it has good vibe and really tasty food. the free guide they give about the local area and Napoli is fantastic

It was a little hard to find, but once you get there you are set. The club downstairs is a little loud if you want to sleep before midnight and the beds are uncomfortable, but the internet access is amazing!

This hostel is not situated in Naples, but halfway between Naples and Pompei, but so easy to get to and from, perfect if you are wanting to visit Pompei. Only prob was the showers, you have to be tiny to fit in them! Excellent restaurants just around the corner, so cheap! Breakfast only 2 Euro.

The fact that the lights only worked at specific times was highly cumbersome, also we often felt as though we were intruding when we tried to get staffs attention to pay for things etc.

The staff were friendly, and very helpfull, even finding my passport that i had dropped comming back from a night out in Naples. The location is ideal for anyone who doesnt want to stay right in the centre of Naples, but still want easy access to the city, and as its on the Circum.....line its great for easy access to Pompeii,Versuvious, and Herculanium is only one stop away. I used fabric as my base to go to Cumae, Sorrento, and Capri, Naples, and the usual Archaeology sites....i had a private twin room at such a reasonable price, that what i saved on accomodation, i was able to spend on the very expensive, but beautiful Capri. Its not a very tourist area, but i enjoyed seeing how the people of naples lived outside of the city centre, and the food and drink was cheaper than in the city centre. There is all the ingredients for a lively hostel, they have a big common room, complete with Sofa's, internet access, ping pong table, T.V etc but none of the guests seemed that fussed on using the amenities, other than the internet, which i think was a shame but thats more to do with the guests than the Staff, who as i said before were very nice. Highly recommended Hostel...Go for it!close

One of the best Hostel I ever staid in. New, clean, lot of free services and, most importantly, "intelligently managed". Only downside is location, 15 min. walking to the tube station plus 15 minutes journey to Naples (1.10 euros), but good it is close to Portici and Ercolano too..

The hostel was ok to relax and watch tv in the evenings- the club never looked busy. Sisnt seem to do food- they wasnt sure if they could make me what was on the menu. Not a prob though because there was a GREAT pizza place on the high street. did hear some had bed bugs (they told us themselves)...but we were fine and apparantly the staff were helpful. So an ok hostel- but worth staying to avoid the city centre!close

Great place. Don´t worry about being out of Naples CBD, Portici is a really nice neighbourhood with heaps going on where you can walk at night and feel included rather than intimidated. Go to the pizza place on the corner next to the church, it´s a religious experience for the pizza devoted.... more Great place.
