I had an absolute blast in Napoli and a lot of this was thanks to Giovanni and his hostel. The hostel had a warm homely feeling to it and we often shared meals together. Govanni passionately runs this place and makes sure you will get the most out of napoli. Its a great place to meet people and there were... More

Great 4 nights at Giovanni's. Easy to find the hostel from the directions given in the emails prior to arrival. On arrival we got a great intro to Naples- where to visit/ where to avoid by Giovanni. He is a great source of knowledge of the area and amazingly helpful and kind. The dorms are safe, sociable and relatively comfortable.... More

It's difficult for me to review this place as I have come to see it more as the home of a friend than a hostel. Giovanni's Home is an absolutely crucial stop if you are visiting Naples. As soon as you enter, he will sit you down, present you with a map, and give you a succinct guide to his... More

Giovanni's Home located in downtown with just walk distance to couple of local sights. The dormitory room's clean with a/c running, wifi is good, and it got a kitchen with free water as well. Also there's a big rooftop. Right after I checked in, Giovanni instructed me a 1 day local sight-seeing route marked on map and other advice. And... More

The heart of this home is Giovanni. He takes every effort to take care of you. Be prepared for a through guide on the city, its history, sights & travel tips. If you're lucky you might just be able to sample his cooking. Don't underestimate the sights in Naples etc. There is so much to do here & the food... More

This hostel is pretty basic but has everything you need - cleanliness, a bed, wifi or computers, bathroom and the best atmosphere of any hostel I've stayed in. Giovanni himself is awesome and so welcoming. When I arrived soaking wet and hungry, he sat me down with a bowl of pasta before I'd even checked in. The next night he... More

Its hard to say what was best about giovanni's home. It was a wholly unique experience from beginning to end. The pasta he cooks up most evenings is divine and varied (plus he cooked solely vegetarian meals the whole week on my account). He plays a mean guitar too and got the whole hostel singing an absurd song about a... More

Loved this place! Prime example of why hostels that may not look or have 5star ammenties can still be the best place you will stay. Giovanni was amazing! He gave us excellent information on where to visit, where not to visit, where is safe, and where is the best pizza places. And you must try the pizza place nearby that... More

Stayed here for 5 nights at the beginning of our interrailing trip & couldn't have asked for a better start. Giovanni is a great host who goes above and beyond. Clean, comfortable and with the constant promise of traditional Neopolitan cooking, you absolutely must stay here if possible! He'll sit you down with a map of the city & talk... More
