Deuxième séjour à La Controra et c'est toujours aussi agréable grâce à ses chambres chaleureuses, son cadre unique, sa situation géographique idéale et son équipe adorable ! ;)

The room is perfectly clean and the staff guy was really helpful. But the best thing in this hostel are the facilities: big garden to chill out, dvd's to watch and nice space for breakfast... Perfect place to relax after a full day in Naples.

Great staff. They really came through for me when I needed some help dealing with a flight that was cancelled. It was nothing they were responsible for, but they helped me out anyway

If you want to know the real Italy you must to go to La Controra. Starita the best pizza in the world. Pauloclose

The staff have a good command of the English language and are very informed about what Naples has to offer. I particularly liked the courtyard and the communal areas, including the Kitchen. There is also a large selection of Dvd's, satelite TV, and cheap, quick internet access. The Brazilian barman, Caruso, was great! Anyway, I don't think anyone would be disappointed with this hostel!close

The facilities are really good, and the bar and outside areas are very nice. The place felt quite empty when I was there, but it was a good base for exploring Napoli, about 5 minutes walk from the metro stop and various buses.
