Liked: Our Host, Eugenio, was so very helpful. He knew exactly what we'd want to do and see while in Naples and provided excellent advice. He also provided maps and guides for Pompei so we didn't have to purchase them ourselves. Excellent location, very easy walking distance from the train station and to get to the historical centre.
Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: The owner of the hostel is fantastic, and as it is a small place you will have the chance to meet with him and benefit from his advice... he speaks English and is passionate about Naples, but can also offer lots of information about the surrounding area and how to navigate the trains and metro. The breakfast which he offers in the morning for an extra 2 euros is quite good (croissants with cream in the middle, café au lait, toast and jam), he will also do your laundry if you'd like and drive you to the airport for a very reasonable fee (as of July 2011, the metro did not go out to the airport, although I understand that this is in the works. For the moment, getting a drive with someone you can trust is likely your best option... the Alibus which runs from the train station to the airport for 3 euros apparently does not always show up and I have heard that the taxis can over-charge you. If you are traveling by taxi, it would be helpful to have a copy of the fare schedule which is available in several languages at http://www.comune.napoli.it/flex/files/D.ff5be05cc6dd0ef6f91c/TARIFFE_TAXI.pdf ). If you are expecting to arrive at the hostel later in the evening, it would be best to let the owner know in advance as he will wait up for you.
Disliked: There was nothing really to dislike about the hostel itself, it was quiet, clean, comfortable and offered both air conditioning in the rooms and a fridge. However, the location near the train station is both a benefit and a draw-back, as the area itself does not seem very safe, particularly if you are arriving at night. Even though the hostel is max. 10 minutes walking from the station, I would not recommend that you walk it alone at night. If you are with another person, you should be fine. If you do happen to be on your own, you may want to look at staying in the HI hostel which is quite near one of the metro stops - it's a little outside of the city centre, but a safer area at night.

Liked: Eugenio was a wonderful host. Very welcoming and a walking guidebook. Very comfortable rooms. A fantastic location, only minutes walking distance from the train station, although the entrance is hard to find, so keep an eye out for the small sign and be prepared to carry your luggage up two flights of stairs.
Disliked: Nothing
