France MALE 25-30 Dec 7, 2025 2.0/10

Manque d’hygiène dans l’auberge, des gens ne mettent pas les draps sur les lits du coup j’ai eu des puces de lit. Les housses de couettes ne sont pas lavées, la chambre sent mauvais, pas aérée. Petit déjeuner médiocre, serviette payantes, cadenas payant. Pas de clé pour accéder à la chambre (commune sur la porte), pas de code d’entrée non plus, il faut sonner et on vous ouvre. Pour le même prix il vaut mieux aller 300 mètres plus loin

No volvería nunca. Poca limpieza, todo muy cutre y viejo, baños muy antiguos. Daba la sensación de que estabas en una casa okupa. Y la zona es el barrio de prostitución. No vayais a este Hostel por favor (Y a Genova tampoco, es horrible)

Présence de punaise de lit. J'en ai tué plein de petite et j'avais plein de bouton dans le dos. Heureusement que je suis pas restée longtemps. Petit dej correcte. Interdiction d'utiliser la cuisine le midi car ils nettoie (pas pratique pour ce faire a manger). Trop chère pour ce que c'est.

This was the absolute WORST hostel Ive ever been. The smell was disgusting. The room was right next to the kitchen, so all the smells from the kitchen went directly into the bedroom. There was no cleanliness to the hostel. At the end of the stay we had to turn in the sheets of the bed, and we found bed bugs on BOTH of our beds. Absolutely disgusting

rooms were crammed and humid, then opened the window and got attacked by mosquitoes. it is very old, bathrooms smell. location is not safe for solo female travellers! staff were very lovely but overall probably the worst hostel we have stayed in.

unfortunately, I really didn't enjoy my stay at the hostel. I found it the rooms to be very uncomfortable, the beds where squeezed so tightly in together. bathrooms doors felt a bit insecure and they could have been a bit cleaner. kitchen was okay and the breakfast was good.

O pessoal hospedado no Hostel não era receptivo, o que atrapalhou em muito a nossa experiência. Ademais, o quarto tinha uma estrutura precária de tomadas, cabides, etc

The beds had bed bugs in them which we had to swot. The mattresses obviously need changing.

Nice place to stay, not fancy, but with everything I needed, especially a good functional kitchen (their Ikea knife might even cut well if it were sharpened: it would be the first time I ever found a decent kitchen knife in a hostel) with some of the staples supplied. Premises pleasantly clean. One problem: there's an age limit, which I didn't see on the website, and I did look for it. I was accepted all the same, and I wasn't the only person there well past youth.

ganz nach meinem geschmack! Zentral gelegen, einfache, aber völlig genügende Ausstattung in Küche und Aufenthaltsraum- kein extrasauber oder extraneu zu überhöhtem preis. Bequeme, warme und saubere Betten. Wer es gerne einfach, sympathischfreundlich und dafür preiswert hat ist im manena richtig.

I enjoyed my stay at Manena Hostel. It's a small hostel so it has that cozy, friendly vibe and I found it easy to make new friends. The staff were very kind and helpful and the hostel has everything you need for a pleasant stay.

super hostel, aber leider neben einem etwas sketchy viertel (das kann man aber gut umgehen). das personal ist freundlich, die küche gut ausgestattet und es gibt sogar frühstück. wenn das hostel voll ist, könnte es mit den Bädern eng werden. zimmer super, auch Schließfächer

en general el hostel esta bien. muy bien ubicado en pleno centro historico. Es pequeño pero buen dispuesto los ambientes. Que tenga desayuno me parece un plus y es muy rico tambien! El personal muy buena onda y dispuesto a brindar ayuda e informacion de la ciudad, ademas podes hacer un freewalking tour desde ahi que fue unos de los mejores que hice. Los baños bien. No es una critica si no una observacion es que no te dan llave de ingreso a la habitacion, no me senti insegura en absoluto.

L'ostello è molto carino. È abbastanza piccolo e quindi rende l'atmosfera molto intima che tipicamente io cerco in un ostello. Dispone di tutti i servizi essenziali, in modo semplice ma funzionale. Ti forniscono mappe cartacee e sui muri sono scritti consigli su cosa visitade a Genova e dintorni. Inoltre sono stati super gentili e esaustivi nel darmi consigli su Genova. Se tornerò a genova, alloggerò di nuovo qua sicuramente.

Really lovely and small hostel. Because it is so small you meet people very easily. The staff and everybody I’ve met was great! It’s a short walk to the port and a nice location all around.
