Finding a great Naples hostel is easy. Many Naples hostels are central, close to the station and to Spaccanapoli, the street that splits the city in two.

Whatever you are interested in, whether that is playing music, watching plays or sleeping in an ex-textile factory from the 1800s, you will definitely find a hostel in Naples for that.

The historic centre is the beating heart of the city and it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site. There you will find all the best attractions, like Piazza del Plebiscito, the beautiful Cathedral, and the Royal Palace.
