Nap Hostel Spaccanapoli

Nap Hostel Spaccanapoli is a hostel at Via Pasquale Scura 26E, near the western end of Spaccanapoli and close to Via Toledo in the Quartieri Spagnoli of Naples, Campania, Italy. Spaccanapoli is the long, straight street that splits the old Greek and Roman grid of the historic centre in two, lined with churches, craft workshops, presepe (nativity scene) shops and pizzerie. The hostel's location puts it in the middle of this living old town, a short walk from Via Toledo, Toledo metro station, Galleria Umberto I, Piazza Plebiscito and Teatro San Carlo, and within about fifteen minutes of the Duomo, Via dei Tribunali and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale. The atmosphere is that of a social, budget-oriented hostel in an authentic and densely built neighbourhood, with narrow lanes, local shops and street life rather than polished tourist infrastructure. Accommodation consists of dorm beds and private rooms, which suits solo travellers, friends travelling together and couples on a tight budget. Air conditioning and wifi are listed, an important comfort in the hot Neapolitan summer, along with a lounge where guests meet and plan their days and luggage storage for early arrivals or late departures. No restaurant, bar, spa or pool is listed, but food is inexpensive in the surrounding streets, where fried pizza, pasta and espresso cost little. Service follows hostel norms, with staff offering local tips on pizzerie, free walking routes and day trips to Pompeii, Herculaneum and the islands. The telephone number listed for the property is +39 081 277 8178. Rates run from about 20 to 60 euros per night, with dorm beds at the lower end. The hostel suits backpackers, young travellers and anyone who wants to be in the centre of the city for the lowest cost. Visitors should keep bags close in crowded streets and be ready for noise at night from the lively lanes outside.
