Naples
The street might be gritty, but this safe, welcoming, family-run hostel more than compensates with its close proximity to Napoli Centrale, plus fantastic staff and a modern communal kitchen. All five dorms (two of which are female only) are bright and clean, and set for a revamp in late 2018. Also on offer are simple, modern double and triple rooms, some with private bathroom.
The common lounge includes Xbox video games and there's free aperitivo on Thursday evenings.
