About this place Hostel of the Sun

Hostel of the Sun is a mainstream backpacker hostel on Via Guglielmo Melisurgo, a few minutes from Molo Beverello, where the ferries and hydrofoils leave for Capri, Ischia and the Amalfi Coast. It's listed as gay-friendly but isn't a gay venue. It has colourful dorms and private rooms, a shared guest kitchen and a small bar, and it averages 4.5 on Google from over 1,000 reviews. The Spanish Quarter, Via Toledo and Piazza del Plebiscito are within walking distance. The crowd is mostly young and social, so book a private room if you'd rather have quiet.

Just wanted to mention that when we were checking in, there was this guy from Iran on the reception (I don't remember his name) and he started cracking random jokes with me and my wife. It was okay at first as I passed it off as playful banter, but then he started mimicking my Indian accent and started shaking his head (apparently mimicking the Indian nod). It was honestly quite strange and I did not understand then, that he was not joking and was just being purely racist. He then proceeded to pretend to sing some Indian song, just as a mockery. The entire vibe and demeanour of the guy was just strange. I passed it off with witty retorts back then, but I realise now that dude was just being hateful, racist and making fun of somebody's race while they are just checking in after a long journey. Perhaps I should've said something back then, hence I write this review. If anyone from the hostel reads this, it should be seriously taken up.

Its a great hostel with incredible hosts, especially Berin. She is a lovely and wholesome person and it was a pleasure to meet her. Rooms were clean and staff were helpful all the time. Would stay there again

Great location - Easy to get bus to Airport or metro to multiple places and ferry to Capri/Amalfi/Sorrento/Positano. Everything is around 5-10min away from the hostel. Staff were very friendly (big shout out to Syeed), we stayed for 3 nights and felt very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. They even let us chill in the chillout space after we did our checkout. You guys were truly amazing! Will be back again.

Rooms are clean, well laid out. Reception is extremely helpful and gives all the tips of what to see and where to eat. Beds are comfortable and plenty of bathrooms to get ready in. Breakfast was good, would definitely stay again.

We just came, but I am already blown away. There was a very bad place nearby that tried to scam us for 230€+ and this place saved us. I am so thankful we found it. We booked cheap and was so nice and the receptionist is great. I am thankful and recommend this place
