My stay at La Controra Hostel was quite enjoyable, though it had its ups and downs. The location was very convenient, just a short walk from the metro, and I appreciated the friendliness of the staff who were always willing to help with recommendations. However, the breakfast was a bit underwhelming, just basic cold options without any hot items. Additionally, the shower in my room had a leak, which was inconvenient. Overall, I found it to offer great value for money.

My stay at La Controra Hostel in Naples was fantastic! The location was strategic, being close to the metro and attractions, though the uphill walk back could be a workout (definitely not for the weary!). I felt completely secure having access to key card rooms and lockers for my belongings. The cleanliness and spaciousness of the hostel really stood out, as did the vibrant atmosphere in the garden and bar area which encouraged socializing. However, I did find the initial directions a bit confusing, which made finding the hostel a bit tricky.
