Seven Hostel

Good value for budget travellers visiting the Amalfi Coast. It’s a large hotel-style hostel with a café, bar, lift, and buffet breakfast included. However, guests next door were very loud after midnight. The night staff said he went up twice but the noise continued, then told me to confront them myself — completely unacceptable. Staff should enforce quiet hours, not guests. There was also no toilet seat in any of the bathroomd, which made it uncomfortable to use. Sun loungers are removed in October, and the nearest beach is hard to reach on foot as there’s no pedestrian path. Overall, good facilities, polite staff and location, but management needs to improve maintenance and staff training.

As honest of a review you’re gonna get from someone who goes into hostels with low expectations. I’ll start with the positives. The rooftop terrace had astonishing views with a bar and selected foods available. Great to watch the sunset and chill out. It was about a 10-15 min walk to the nearest station which you can catch into Sorrento otherwise it’s a 30-40 min walk into the city. The included breakfast was convenient but had a very limited range of options, nothing to complain about however. Now onto the more negative aspects. After reading reviews before I arrived, I had worries about a possible bed bug issue. This turned out to be unfortunately very much true. Woke up with a few bites after the first night and blamed in on mosquitoes for my own good however, more turned up after the second and third night until I found one in my bedding. Very much alive and full. For a cheap hostel in such a grand location you can’t expect much but you should be able to expect basic hygienic standards for any accommodation. The last thing I’ll say is that the bathrooms although were clean and had hot water in the showers, no paper towel or air dryer was available to dry your hands, and the sinks frequently were clogged. Wouldn’t recommend until they sort their bed bug issue out.

Rooms were pretty standard except for the fact that a lot of them have BEDBUGS. The owners will say that there are no bedbugs but all the other reviews confirm there are bedbugs and I have been bitten. There is no shower/toilet in the room and you often have to travel quite far to get to them. The shower doors are completely see through and the toilets have no seats. I will say the staff are nice, the rooftop has a cool vibe and the breakfast is an added bonus, but I would not recommended staying here unless you want bedbugs.

Lovely hostel with an amazing rooftop bar that is very affordable! The staff were very kind and attentive and our room was cleaned daily. Loved the location because it felt less touristy and there was a nice local beach nearby. However, the restaurants were quite far away so we rented a Vespa. The room was the perfect size for us two and the air conditioning was nice!

If your going for a mega budget trip it's a good place. Regardless I personally won't stay here again. The service is ok but that's as far as it goes. To get to the main city it takes roughly 30 minutes by leg which isn't bad. Phone signal in the area is mediocre at best. Rooms look different then advertised. Keys to your room half the time don't work which is a problem at the middle of the night. overall if you want to save money it's a good place to stay. But by spending a little more and you can stay in a better hostel/hotel.

Peppe and ALL of the staff are 💯 fabulous team. The location is extremely convenient to St. Angelo train station. Hostel is clean, efficiently run. Food and drinks excellent value. Could not fault a thing here during our stay. Relaxed and comfortable.

BED BUGS. Edit: woke up this morning with bites all over my legs and I could see black stuff on the bed. After seeing the other reviews was a major concern, I checked the mattress when I got here and couldn't see anything, and I didn't seem to get any bites the first night but apparently they can take time to appear. I've travelled globally and this is my first bed bug experience. 😭 Everyone I implore you to read their replies to the bad reviews and ask yourself is this the kind of place you want to stay or the people you want to deal with. They call you crazy and a liar. That is not normal. They do not address the 12 beds in a room advertised as 10, because it does not suit them. They say the air conditioning was working....there was literally a red error message on the machine, no assistance was offered. The 1 star review is left because there is nothing else to be done....the staff will not listen, help or engage. I was in the room Serenity and bed number 7, it was the 10 bed female dorm ensuite. Also the room was sold as 10 beds, but they were super generous and shoved another 2 beds in there! So 12 in a room advertised as 10. 🙃 The air conditioning stopped working on my second night and I found it hard to sleep (I thought one of the other girls turned it off). I reported it on the third night and he said it's broken and that's it. I asked about any fans and he said no. I asked about any discounts and he said no, they don't advertise AC (they also did advertise only 10 beds but okay). The whole encounter which was just so damn rude, it was the guy on crutches. He was probably ignorant to the wrong person and that's how he got them in the first place.... But yeah he didn't listen, he didn't care, and he didn't engage. He just stopped answering me and turned away..... There was another girl there from a different room so it's obviously a building wide issue. Anyway they don't provide towels, they offer to sell you like a scarf for €6, which is wild?? I declined. Like not being able to get a towel somewhere is insane, I've literally never come across this anywhere ever. Anyway breakfast also laughably bad, I saw they came for someone else who said this but guys trust me, it really is super grim. It's literally like a bowl of that tinned fruit salad, like 2 cereals, 2 weird prepackaged items, a watery substance advertised as orange juice, and some coffee. They did have a croissant which tasted like the oven ones you buy in Aldi, that was salvagable to grab and go. There's no fridge or kitchen so without the AC you're gonna need to try keep cool with your room temp water babes 🥲 Showers were okay to be fair, a bit of a smell in the drain every now and then, but clean and pressure/temperature was fine. the no toilet seat thing was fine, I'm kinda used to it now as it really is the standard here for some reason. Oh and I asked someone else on reception about the bus stop nearby and I am fairly confident he gave me wrong information so probably just stick to whatever Google says. Overall, it's such a shame there is nowhere else affordable and also that crutches guy was the absolute worst and he needs to do one immediately.

Great hostel, 10 mins walk from the station. I had a private room which was great, a decent size room with plenty of storage , good bathroom and even a balcony with a stunning view. Breakfast was great and lots of room and areas to mooch around. The rooftop bar has a stunning view and drinks are great prices especially for the area. I didn’t eat any food so cannot comment. |I have seen many negative reviews and just cannot believe they are real. If you go for a private room it is great and the best value you will find on the Amalfi coast,

Very underwhelmed by this hostel. It's a long 30 minute walk to the city center with nothing to see along the way. The front desk staff leaves much to be desired, your key card probably won't work and will have to be reprogrammed at a most inconvenient time, and the showers are very average. By the way, the "C" means hot. Redeeming factors are decent wifi, outlets/lamps at every bed, and the (free) breakfast of cereal, juice, croissants with butter.

First hostel experience was at Seven Hostel, I was not sure what to expect but the hostel ended up being way nicer than I thought. You get a bed and a large locker (but I suggest bringing your own lock for the locker, I think they have locks you can rent at the front desk but they were pricey). Upon arrival they provide you with a clean set of sheets that you are responsible for putting on your bed. Next to the bed there is one outlet and a reading light that you can have turned on without disturbing others in the room. Breakfast was provided and was pretty good! About a 35 minute walk from the train station. We stayed in an all female room and it was very clean and quiet. The bathrooms were also clean and the location was very safe. I would definitely stay here again. The only downside was we did not bring towels and the hostel did not provide them.

This place is a disaster. It's in an awkward location away from the main streets so there are no bars or big restaurants nearby. It looks nice on the surface because it has a bar in it but its only open for happy hour from 6-8, the hours when most people are out sightseeing. On top of that we found bed bugs the second night we were there and they refused to reimburse us for both nights we stayed. This is one place you should avoid if at all possible.
