It is located in a convenient location only 5-10 mins from central station which is next to Garibaldi station and near the bus station. I arrived by bus from another part of Italy and took the airport bus when I left, both locations easy to walk to. Being so close to the station was convenient for day trips, eg Pompeii, Vesuvius, Herculaneum.
The neighborhood is a typical city centre location with the streets being busy with shops and street vendors. There are shops selling groceries including fruit and vegetables in the same street. I was apprehensive due to some comments in reviews but as a solo female traveler I had no concerns for my safety even when walking back to the hostel after dark as the streets were still so busy. Just need the standard common sense.
The hostel is easy to find as there is a big signpost on the street. The front door is secure and inside is safe and comfortable. Corridors and rooms have keycard access.
The shared female dorm room had 5 beds and an en-suite showroom. Bring your own padlock for lockers. Bring an eye mask if you are bothered by light as the curtains are thin and the streetlights directly outside the window meant the room was never dark. The building walls are so thick there is no street noise when the window is closed.
The small kitchen was convenient for cooking. Great that a continental breakfast was included. There were no washing machines for use but a laundry service for 15 euros. WiFi reliable. You need to vacate the rooms at 10:30 each day for cleaning but there is a dining room and lounge to hang out in.
I enjoyed my stay and would not hesitate to stay again.
