This is quite a big hostel and for that reason it might be slightly harder to meet other travellers here.. although every night there is some kind of activity that you can involve yourself in.

Great location that’s very close to a local train station (5 minute walk). The hostel felt secure with the 24/7 reception and keyed lockers provided in the dorm rooms. Very clean rooms and bathrooms! I didn’t make use of the kitchen facilities or breakfast, but when I rushed past one morning, it looked good!

It was a bit tricky to find at first, but once there, everything was excellent.

Great stay at this hostel! The room was a really good size, the bed was super comfortable, and the staff were all very kind and welcoming. Highly recommended!

The everyday servings of dinner could be just a tad bigger and maybe leaning a little less on vegetarian foods. The same could be said about breakfast - I'm not a big breakfast guy, so I didn't personally experience any problems with this, but I do think there is room for more variations of breakfast meals. Also, I would recommend just making more of everything.

I loved pretty much everything about this Hostel. It was my first time traveling solo and picking hostels, so I am very pleased with this cherry pop of mine. The staff are warm and charismatic, the inner garden - beautiful, the other guests are friendly and well-behaved. The atmosphere is all around welcoming, really lovable and hard to leave behind. The drink/food options at the evening bar are also worth the price. Overall, I recommend this hostel greatly - it's got itself figured out neatly in pretty much all of its aspects.

The shower wasn’t working very well and my room door wasn’t locking.

The property is really good and cool.

You have to pay extra to get a dorm with curtains. Not that much of a deal but based on my experience a hostel has either non at all or all rooms have curtains. That’s not enough to reduce some points but it‘s still a bit odd. Would stay there again nevertheless

The rooms are big and the garden is awesome. It‘s easy to socialize but you also have space to be at your own of you want to. I‘m personally not a fan of having the shower and the toilet is in the same room but there were 6 bathrooms on the floor so I never had to queue, even in the busiest hours. (I was staying on the second floor, but heard that it‘s kinda the same on the first floor) Breakfast is not the typical hostel style with toast and Marmelade, they also offer cereals and scrambled eggs. Staff is amazing and helps you with everything. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend it!

The location looked a bit scary at first sight (I arrived at 10 pm due to a flight delay), but nothing bad happened, and I believe it was safe.

The accommodation was clean, the breakfast was good, and I’m glad I chose La Controra 😊. The staff were super nice and always ready to help. The accommodation was also conveniently located near the Salvator Rosa metro station.

Nthn

Everything was great The breakfast and the garden. Beds are comfort

The bar is only open in the evening, it would be nice to have it open during the afternoon as well, but I appreciate this requires extra staffing.

The rooms are a very good size, plenty of space to move around even with lots of guests. The beds are comfortable, have a light and socket at your head which is very convenient. Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Location is great, you're a short walk to at least two well connected metro stations, Old Town is around a 25 minute walk, and various other hot spots are all within reach. I highly recommend this hostel.

The scrambled eggs!

Location. Proximity to metro. The garden courtyard. Sufficient bathrooms.

To be honest the only thing I didn't like was I had to leave the hostel and move to a pre booked hotel further in the city I would have prefered to stay at the hostel as it was much better

The hostel and the staff were really nice the staff were all very friendly and would make guests feel at ease

I really appreciated the friendly welcome upon arrival, and the friendly staff, also at the bar (breakfast and evenings). I also really appreciated the good breakfast buffet in the morning, and being able to sit and enjoy it in the garden. Easy walk down to the inner city area and easy transport connection by Metro.

One of the most wonderful hostels I’ve ever stayed at. It feels more like a charming villa than a typical hostel. It’s set in a beautiful, historic building with high ceilings, tall windows, spacious rooms, and a cozy courtyard with palm trees — a truly lovely and peaceful spot right in the city. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming. The rooms are clean, full of character, and have gorgeous city views. The beds are comfortable and sturdy, and everything is kept neat and spotless. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful — always smiling, always ready to make your stay more enjoyable. One of the biggest highlights for me was the food: the hostel serves delicious homemade meals and cocktails, which was such a treat after a long day out when I didn’t feel like finding a restaurant. It honestly saved me more than once! Breakfasts are hearty, fresh, and full of flavor — and having them in the courtyard on the terrace was the perfect start to each day. The entire place is well cared for and full of charm, and even the guests staying here felt like part of the vibe — interesting, open, and easy to talk to. The location is also ideal — close to the city center, metro, and main transport hubs, making it perfect for exploring Naples on foot or by public transport. I’m truly grateful for the hospitality. This place left a lasting impression, and I’d love to come back. The architecture, the atmosphere, the people — everything inspires you to return. Highly recommended!
