HOPESTEL Secret Garden Napoli

AMAZING EXPERIENCE 10/10 ELISA MARCELO MAILA DAKOTA & 2 more persons i don’t remember the names at reception. They are one of the best guys i have ever seen for hospitality. Please follow their recommendations for FOOD because they are all local peoples. Lovely Big Garden with Rabbit and Cats. Piano , guitar , chess etc with big kitchen for cooking very comfy lounge. 24 our service and there is a small bar inside hostel at reception. Location not that much far from city center as there is a shortcut of escalators and elevator right at the corner. Thank you once Again Guys ( cheers ) see you next time

The location is probably the best part. It’s truly a hidden gem and the yard is way bigger than expected. Also, the staff, including the volunteers are extremely friendly, caring, helpful and understanding. Further, the garden is taken good care of, the cats and the rabbit are just adorable and the drinks that the hostel offers are well priced and delicious.

The garden was spacious and lovely. It provided a nice escape from the noisy streets outside. The layout was appealing. It’s homey and not institutional. There’s a large kitchen and common room. Lockers are good-sized and the beds have strong reading lights. The best part was the people: both staff and guests were memorable.

Arriving at the hostel and seeing the old building, I first thought it would be terrible… but when I entered the hostel my mind was BLOWN! This is one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in during my 30 years of backpacking the world. The room and the bed were excellent and comfortable and the in-room toilet/shower is a major plus. What I loved most was the GIANT GARDEN with tables, orange trees, tents, and so much more. Even more amazing were the three resident cats and a rabbit that would hang out with you in the common areas. The check-in desk was also a coffee bar and pub where you could get drinks all day/night. Honestly, I almost didn’t want to leave the hostel and see the city, it was THAT good there. Oh, and the staff are the friendliest people who will direct you to the best places to eat/drink/play/tour and more. I love HOPEstel-Secret Garden so MUCH! I will definitely be back the next time I am in Napoli.

Where do I start!? - One of the nicest hostels I've been to, everything was cleaned more than daily and the rooms were comfortable while also practical - Great sense of community, the staff are beyond friendly and it was very easy to make friends here. They really foster a positive and welcoming culture here - Many common areas to hang out and chill, the garden is especially lovely even during winter - Great selection of drinks at the bar, especially the homemade limoncello which I unfortunately didn't get to try :( - Despite not being centrally located it is trivially easy to get here, despite all the hills! Best way is to get line 2 to Montesanto and take the lift (doesn't work on Sundays and late nights). Even if the lift isn't open, it's certainly worth the hike up the hill when you get there at the end. Don't make the same mistake as me by taking line 1
