Hostel of the Sun is an ideal place to stay while visiting beautiful Napoli.  We are walking distance from the Historical Center, Castel Nuovo, Palazzo Reale, Palazzo Plebiscito, and the fabulous shopping on Via Toledo- to name a few.  Two of Naples most historic and loved Pizzerias, (Sorbillo and Di Matteo), are a ten minute walk from our doorstep.

We love our Napoli, however if you wish to venture outside of the city, we are a 5 minute walk to the ferry terminal with frequent departures to Capri and Ischia. From this same terminal there are also busses to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast.  Two minutes from our door you’ll find the R2 bus to the Stazione Centrale.  Here you can hop on the Circumvesuviana and see the famous Mt. Vesuvius, as well as other stops at Pompeii, Ercolano and the picturesque city of Sorrento.
