La Controra Hostel Naples

A good stay We stayed one night only and it was OK for just one day. Room was comfortable but the standard of cleanliness should be improved. Hot water was scarce and we had to wait +20 minutes to get another shower. Breakfast was fair and staff really helpful and kind. There's a metro station right around the corner and several shops in the area. Parking available in the property for 10 euro/day was very convenient.

Everything was perfect. Curtains on bunk beds. This isn’t a social hostel, so if you’re looking to relax and not socialize, this is the hostel for you. I especially liked the free breakfast, it wasn’t some cheap store bought bread and some Nutella. There were scrambled eggs, sausages and freshly cut tomatoes. Cons: The A/C wasn’t cold enough for my liking. It’s central A/C that only the receptionist could control. Biggest Con: The location. It’s quite a bit of a walk to the center. I think this is also a sort of good thing cos the restaurants nearby have been very reasonably priced and where the locals actually ate. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay.

The hostel staff were friendly and helpful. I stayed in a private room which was clean and spacious. There's also a gorgeous surprise garden between the buildings and the breakfast was delicious. This is a very good option unless you struggle a bit walking hills. But you can get the metro and then walk down, which is what they recommend in the directions. I'd go back in a heart beat.

Very nice place. Recommended👌

This was my first visit to Napoli and my first experience upon touchdown was La Controra Hostel. The Hostel is very easy to find if you are travelling from Capodichino Airport thanks to the very clear and precise directions provided with your booking and La Controra's centrality allows for the majority of Napoli's sights and attractions to be reached within walking distance. The warm, friendly welcome upon check in was a pleasant surprise and they couldn't have been more helpful. Both happy to help and knowledgeable of the city, La Controra's staff furnish you with Maps/Guides, recommendations for bars and restaurants and historical walking tours. The accommodation itself is supremely clean, with comfortable beds/linen, a number of spacious well maintained bathrooms and a picturesque open plan garden with a bar and terrace. Speaking of the bar, I very quickly made friends with both the amazing bar staff and my fellow guests, offering very reasonably priced drinks, food and an atmosphere which encouraged staff and guests alike to talk and get to know one another, La Controra's bar is a wonderful place to relax and socialise after a day's exploring. I have to also mention that I had never felt so secure in a hostel prior to my stay. All rooms have key card access and a locker/padlock is provided, I had full confidence my belongings were safe during the day. In addition, La Controra offers laundry services, luggage storage and a free breakfast which would put a lot of Hotels to shame. I have to give all of the amazing staff of La Controra Hostel a big Thank You, you guys went above and beyond, La Controra wasn't just "a place to put my head down" but a part of my wonderful Napoli experience.
