Reviews of NAP Hostel Spaccanapoli

This was my first time encountering bed bugs at a hostel. I stayed here from August 24th to 26th. 1. On the first night, I noticed a strange odor coming from the bed every now and then before falling asleep. Since I’m not one to make a fuss, I tried to ignore it. The next morning, the girl staying in the bunk above me mentioned that she had been bitten by bugs and needed to change beds. At the time, I didn’t think much of it since the bites on my body hadn’t become visible yet. Actually, that afternoon, I went back for a nap and woke up with bite marks. I thought they were mosquito bites, but looking back, they were classic bed bug bites: large, flat, red welts with a small dot in the center. 2. On the second day, I woke up with several obvious bites on my arms and legs. Since I’m usually prone to mosquito bites, I assumed I’d been bitten while out exploring (I really should have checked my body more carefully—I regret it now). The girl from the upper bunk had already moved out and asked if I’d been bitten too. I said no at the time, since accusing a place of having bed bugs is a serious matter. 3. By the third day, the bites on my exposed skin had significantly increased. As my trip was coming to an end, I went shopping and tried on some clothes. It was in the fitting room that I finally took a close look at my entire body—and I was horrified. I had very typical bed bug bites all over my back, shoulders, buttocks, and lower back. There were shocking clusters of bright red welts, with two or three large bites grouped together, inflamed and swollen. I had over thirty bites in total—it was terrifying. I immediately lost all interest in continuing my trip and went back to confront the hostel staff. The staff’s reaction was quite interesting: they repeatedly insisted that "it could be anything." From start to finish, there was not a single word of comfort—just a cold suggestion to "relax" (as if I were making a big deal out of nothing).

One of the other rooms had a bed bug problem so the hostel moved all those girls into our room. Location is central to everything however the walk from the nearest train station felt very unsafe.

Good location, friendly staff, and good breakfast.

The bathroom tiles are very dirty, the drain is clogged, and I left with lots of bedbug bites. This isn't good, I have a lot of bites.

It's a nice, cozy place. Many thanks to Paula for the great accommodation and for making sure everything was going well.

I really enjoyed my stay in this hostel, the staff are so lovely. The breakfast is cooked everyday freshly and the beds are comfortable. If you are travelling solo, you will easily make new friends :)

A nice, clean hostel in a great location with huge, modern rooms. The showers could use some improvement, as there’s little privacy and water tends to leak, leaving the area wet; there’s also no convenient place to put your belongings except on a chair outside the shower in the shared bathroom. Breakfast, however, was excellent—one of the best I’ve had in hostels, with omelettes, baked vegetables, cakes, and more.

The stay was comfortable, but the typical hostel community vibe was missing; it feels more suited to travelers who enjoy their own space and peace rather than social interaction.

Everything was good

Clean and confortable beds

It was way too hot inside. There are ACs, one in the kitchen that was literally never on and one in the rooms, that is off up until 19h. So if you come back earlier there is no fresh spot in the hostel

Staff very nice, explained everything calmly and gave a lot of facilities. Very comfortable bed and plenty of showers and toilets.

In the part of the bathrooms outside the room, in the showers if you looked out a bit you could be seen from the men's bathroom. In my room I had the bed next to the door, so I could hear the door all the time when someone came in (as you had to use a lot of force and it sounded a lot), it was a bit annoying.

The location was very central and a short walk to the main street. I loved that access to teh room and storage was with a bracelet. It made accessing everything very convienent.

- Clean - breakfast was a nice spread - free luggage storage - location is great to see a lot of the tourist spots, close to a metro station and a train station to connect you to the central station - I felt pretty safe as a solo traveling female (I live in NYC) - the garden is nice and relaxing when the mosquitos aren't biting - quiet, chill hostel, but I made a few friends with the people in my room

- the bathroom could use shelves to store our things while we shower and trash bins to toss feminine products and other bathroom rubbish - would prefer actual lockers that fit my backpacking backpack than the storage under the bed, which I only put valuables and toiletries, while my travel backpack and everyone else's backpacks and suitcases took up valuable floor space or got in our way of opening our under the bed locked storage - locked storage for the upstairs bed is under the downstairs bed so it's awkward accessing it while someone is sleeping on the bed - AC was ok - I felt like the price was a bit high for what the hostel is, but everything cheaper had poor reviews and ratings

Very nice accommodation

Bathrooms could have been cleaner.

Wonderful atmosphere, nice and welcoming staff. Had a fantastic time in Napoli with people from the hostel, made several friends

The people working there are very helpfull and arranging

The men's commun bathtoom didn t have a lot of privacy
