About
Alexander Hostel
Alexander Hostel sits a short walk from Naples Cathedral and the city's historic heart, putting most sights within easy reach. The hostel keeps things simple: free Wi-Fi in every corner, a shared kitchen, a lounge TV room, and a snack bar for when hunger strikes between explorations. Guests can help themselves to board games or head out for hiking, cycling, or bowling in the surrounding area.
The hostel operates on a cash-free basis, with check-in from 13:00 to 23:00, and offers a range of private rooms and dorms, including female-only and male-only shared options. It's an adults-only property with no pets allowed. The on-site team can arrange tours and tickets, and a lift makes upper floors accessible.
