La Controra Hostel Naples

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.

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.

The hotel is located in a strategic position both compared to the Central train station and the Airport. However, the surrounding area is very dodgy (terrible) and sometimes at late night can be dangerous. ( especially for a lonely female traveller). The friendliness of the staff is at a can-do-better level, especially the conciergerie. Instead it was very appreciated the kindness of the people making room service, maybe we can suggest to the direction a role swapping! Breakfast was the very positive note, but if you book with Bookings you must still pay 17 € per person. Fair enough! You have to clarify it at your arrival with the reception, but in our case, they weren’t so helpful/friendly/professional. I was't feeling so very welcomed.

We were a Norwegian school group (aged 14/15 years) and we really appreciated that the hostel were willing to host us for four nights. The rooms and facilities were beyond expectation; clean and well-maintained. Some of our students commented on how lovely it was that each of the dormitory rooms had its own character. The centre courtyard was lovely for early evening meetings and morning gatherings. The breakfast was healthy and fresh with enough to feed everyone. The staff went above and beyond to help us; detailed information about the city, help with maps, help with luggage, help with ordering pizza! and so much more. We were all so very grateful that we had this little haven in the middle of a wonderfully chaotic city. Thank you so much.

Habe dieses Hostel lt. besten Rezisionen gewählt und wurde nicht enttäuscht! Herzlicher Empfang, tolle Organisation, super nettes hilfsbereites Personal. Zimmer unbedingt mit Klimaanlage wählen, da sonst zu heiß im Sommer.Möglichkeit Wäsche waschen mit Maschine. Alle Zimmer sehr sauber. Hervorzuheben sind die super sauberen Toiletten und Duschen. Perfekt! Es gibt sogar eine Erholungs Oase in Form eines tollen Hinterhofs und Garten mit Blumen und Palmen. Für eines der besten Hostels ever! Bitte weiter so! Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt! Jederzeit eine 5 Plus Bewertung!

Un service parfait... pour un excellent rapport qualité prix ! Ce fut vraiment une excellente expérience, vous saurez tout d'abord apprécier les locaux, aussi discret que charmant, battis au sein d'une ancienne battisse religieuse. Ensuite, vous serez accueilli par un personnel charmant, accueillant, souriant et toujours présent, un vrai plus ! Pour le reste, les chambres sont propres, les salles de bains (grandes, modernes, propres et individuelles) sont un vrai plus, le bar est très accueillant et peu cher... et propose un repas gratuit maison pour tout achat de boisson à 21 ! Enfin, l'auberge ne se situe qu'à moins de 5min à pied du plus proche arrêt de métro, très pratique ! Merci encore pour cette belle expérience... uniquement entachée par les ronflements de l'un de mes voisins de chambrée :D
