Más que un hostel lo definiría como un piso con habitaciones. Por la noche no hay staff por lo que la gente hace ruido sin preocupación; ¿secarte el pelo a las 3 am regresando de salir de fiesta?

More than a hostel would define it as a flat with rooms. At night there is no staff so people make noise without concern; do you dry your hair at 3 am coming back from partying? he is very focused on drinking and going out; the meetings that are held at night end with people shouting. there are no signs or recommendations that after a certain time no noise should be made, something that usually happens in hostels. the structure of the beds is fragile and uncomfortable; it is impossible to sleep.

Central location but fot me that's where any positivity stops. I wasn't going to write this review but the attitude & lack of care from owners/managers changed my mind. - Bed bugs - I checked out early with large welts all over me. - I stay in 5 star hotels but decided on hostels this trip for company. I'll never come to this one again. - Stained & dirty mattress protectors - Noisy street - Dry crackers, cornflakes. Coffee & half portions of fruit put back in the bowl is breakfast Refund...

Douche et toilette dans la chambre attribuée. Casier également dans la chambre avec clef intégré. Pas besoin d’un cadenas. Lit en métal qui grince. Assez bruyant le soir. Machine à laver payante. Accès à la cuisine jusqu’à 23h Auberge conviviale et sécurisante

Translated to English

Shower and toilet in the assigned room. Locker also in the room with built-in key. No need for a lock. Metal bed that squeaks. Quite noisy at night. Washing machine paid. Access to the kitchen until 11pm Friendly and safe hostel

Súper cute place, hacen actividades nocturnas para conocer a la gente y un mini buffet de desayuno excelente para empezar el día, el personal (ariana the best) muy amable y la ubicación está bien como base para conocer cinque terre. Lo único que eliminaría son las bolsas plásticas de las sábanas, ya que tampoco son sábanas nuevas, venían limpias, por lo que no veo el sentido desde lo ecológico para el plástico, además hace mucho ruido el plástico cuando llega alguien de noche a la ...

Translated to English

Super cute place, they do night activities to meet people and a mini buffet breakfast excellent to start the day, the staff (ariana the best) very friendly and the location is good as a base to meet cinque terre. the only thing I would eliminate are the plastic bags for the sheets, as they are also not new sheets, they came clean, so I don't see the sense from the eco-friendly to the plastic, plus the plastic makes a lot of noise when someone comes to the room at night.

Good location, nice staff, breakfast was okay I needed to make my bed which was strange, but they had all the sheets sealed and on the bed. Bathroom was outside of the room, there was a mixed one and a female only. Female only had 2 toilets and 2 showers, and they provided a little box with essentials to use plus a hairdryer. They lock the kitchen and communal area at 23:00 until 7:00

In the city center so you felt safe going home late, but it was a good walk from the train station, although it worked fine! The bathroom was not very clean. It should be cleaned more often! If possible the opening hours of the common room and the kitchen should be extended, it would have been nicer (it officially closes at 11 pm)

This was an overall nice hostel, however, when I was there, there were pretty much no people there which made for kind of a weird vibe. Otherwise, it was very clean, had a proper kitchen, and comfy beds.

My stay in the hostel was really great!!! The room was really comfortable and clean. In my check in the receptionist explained everything that is needed to explore cinque terre and gave me several tips to things to do around. The staff was really great and kind, also the family dinner is one of the best that I ever had!! Definitely one of the best hostels, thank you very much :)

Location is 20 min walk to train station and nearby lots of restaurants and shops. The amenities were standard. Hostel workers were friendly, but compared to other volunteers, they did not put a lot of effort into creating a welcoming community with everyone.

10/10. I absolutely LOVED this hostel and would come back. My friend and I booked a private room for our stay and it was everything we needed, on the first floor. The staff is incredible and it felt like being home with my family; their hospitality, through gestures like providing breakfast and happy hour, as well as meals was so thoughtful. First place I stayed in where the rooms and bathrooms were spacious and genuinely clean, and it was NOT a money grab left and right. Very grateful.

I had such a wonderful time in Grand Hostel Manin. First, staff greeted me with such a welcoming attitude. She was very friendly, and gave me useful informations about La Spezia. It was really helpful. Room was also very clean, and I liked how it had a bathroom for females only. Location was also very nice, just ten minutes walk from the station. I would definitely recommend this place. Loved it!!

Este hostel mantiene la simplicidad que siempre caracterizó a los hostels pero que hoy en día no existe más (edificios de muchos pisos con habitaciones frías). El personal fue muy amable. Cuando hice el check-in me hicieron una explicación de la zona y de las actividades. El WiFi funciona muy bien, lo que es importante si tienes que trabajar. En las noches comparten vino lo cual crea un ambiente que permite conocer a otros viajeros.

This hostel maintains the simplicity that always characterized hostels but that nowadays no longer exists (many-storey buildings with cold rooms). The staff was very friendly. When I checked in they gave me an explanation of the area and the activities. The WiFi works very well, which is important if you have to work. In the evenings they share wine which creates an atmosphere that allows you to meet other travelers.

Cannot fault this hostel, it’s one of the best I have stayed in. Guilia, Tim and all the staff are brilliant, kind, and welcoming. - They made me feel so welcome during my stay. The facilities are exceptional. Everything was catered for and nothing was ever too much trouble. I’m so grateful for all the recommendations they gave me for places to see as it made me get the most out of my trip. I will be back. Thank you!
