Hostel of the Sun

Hostel of the Sun is a long-running hostel at Via Guglielmo Melisurgo 15 in the Port and Municipio area of Naples, Campania, Italy. The street is close to the harbour, a few minutes from the Molo Beverello ferry terminal, where hydrofoils and ferries depart for Capri, Ischia and Procida, and from Piazza Municipio and Castel Nuovo. Municipio metro station on Line 1 is nearby, and the Teatro San Carlo, Galleria Umberto I, Via Toledo and Piazza Plebiscito are within a walk, so travellers can reach the main sights without transport. The hostel offers dorm beds and private double rooms, which suits solo travellers, groups and couples on a budget. Shared facilities include a kitchen and a lounge, with wifi, air conditioning and luggage storage listed, the last of which is useful for ferry day trips. The price range of roughly €25 to €75 per night covers dorm beds at the low end and private rooms at the top, and the rating is about 4.4 out of 5. The hostel has a website at hostelnapoli.com and a phone line. The shared kitchen lets guests prepare simple meals from market produce, and the nearby streets offer pizzerias, bakeries and cafés for those who prefer to eat out. There is no spa or pool. The service character is social and informal, with a lounge for meeting other travellers and staff who can advise on ferry schedules, day trips to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast, and local food. Shared rooms mean that noise is part of the experience, and earplugs may help. The hostel is a good fit for backpackers and island-hoppers who want an affordable, central base near the port.
