Love Italy Club
Ciao a tutti!
If you’re planning your first trip to Naples, let me tell you one simple truth: Naples can’t be understood from a distance.
You have to live it – feel it with your whole being.
And one of the best ways to do that is by staying in a hostel.
A hostel isn’t just a way to save money on accommodation – it’s a chance to feel the real life and atmosphere of the city.
Here, mornings don’t begin with the quiet emptiness of a hotel, but with the sounds of the streets:
someone sipping coffee on the terrace, someone getting ready for a tour, while outside, scooters are already humming.
You walk into the common room – and suddenly there’s a traveler from Spain, someone from Canada, someone from Rome –
and all of them are sharing their amazing stories of adventures.
A couple of hours later, you’re walking together down Spaccanapoli or climbing up to Castel Sant’Elmo to admire the bay view.
Hostels in Naples are very affordable, yet incredibly cozy.
Almost all of them have Wi-Fi, kitchens, clean rooms, and even private options if you want peace and quiet.
But the most valuable thing they offer is the atmosphere – simple, open, and genuine.
Hostel of the Sun – a legendary spot near the port.
It’s always lively and fun here, and breakfast easily turns into conversation.
Perfect if you’re planning to visit the islands – Capri or Ischia.
La Controra – my favorite for those who seek peace.
A former monastery with a garden where you can relax after exploring the city.
Naples Experience – a place with soul: communal dinners, city walks, and friendly people.
Tric Trac Hostel – modern, with beautiful rooms and a terrace overlooking the old city.
Fabric Hostel & Club – a bit farther away, in Portici, but full of life – concerts, a bar, and a spirit of freedom.
If you want to be in the very heart of Naples – choose Centro Storico.
It’s full of noise, scents, old buildings, and that special feeling that brings people here.
If you prefer more space and calm – go up to Vomero: a view of Vesuvius, a light breeze, and leafy streets.
For seaside walks, Chiaia is ideal, and if you plan to explore Campania,
it’s best to stay near the train station – Garibaldi/Centrale.
And for those who want to see the real Naples – I recommend the Spanish Quarters.
Life is bursting here – people sing, argue, laugh – it’s Naples in its purest form.
Book in advance: from April to October, hostels fill up fast.
If you want to save money, choose shared rooms – but don’t worry, the atmosphere is always friendly.
Use Unico Campania – a single ticket for all public transport in the city.
Don’t rent a car – the streets are narrow, traffic is loud. It’s better to walk or take the metro and funiculars.
Be sure to visit the Pignasecca and Porta Nolana markets – buy fresh products and cook something in the shared kitchen.
That’s the true Neapolitan experience.
Hostels in Naples aren’t just cheap accommodation – they’re places where you become part of the city itself.
Here, you don’t observe life from a distant window; you live within it – with the smell of fresh pizza, the hum of voices in the street, and sunsets over the bay.
When you leave, it’ll feel as if Naples stayed somewhere inside you.
Because once you’ve lived here, you understand – this city isn’t just a place on the map.
It’s a feeling you’ll always want to return to.
