    Good location and close to bus and train station and city sights, breakfast included but is simple juice fruit and bread or croissant

    The shower is tiny

    This place is the most affordable stay you’ll find in Cagliari. It’s not a social hostel by any means, atleast that was my experience. The beds were okay to sleep in, but no curtains. They give free towels but no lockers.

    The demographic is somewhat strange, there weren’t many young people when I went.No curtains on bedsNot social

    The hostel is in a fantastic location, in an old building which adds the flavour to your stay. What's a huge pro of this place is the staff - they're very helpful, and friendly, thank you once again! It's really great that the breakfast is included, it's truly delicious. The room in which I've stayed was spacious, so you don't feel cramped up like in the majority of the hostels.

    Although the sheets were fresh, the state of the bed (very dusty), and of the room in general could have been better. There's no proper ventilation in the shower. As many people mentioned - AC is a huge problem during the summer months. I've visited Cagliari in August, so it was very hot, and having to sleep in the mezzanine was like staying in the oven, no air whatsoever. There are not many plugs in the room.

    8IvannaPosted on: 9-10-2024

    The location was really good and the room was really spacious. The staff was super friendly.

    The showers took a lot time to drain. The AC turned itself off in the middle of the night because of a timer we couldn't get to turn off.

    Location, staff, room.

    The kitchen isn't open to serve yourself and check in is so late.

    9ChantalPosted on: 9-3-2024

    Very good location in the center of Cagliari. Very good light in the rooms. Very very big rooms on two floors with private bathroom. Very clean one of the best hostels I have been to.

    Check-in is only at 16h. bed a bit small

    10CéliaPosted on: 8-23-2024

    Calm room with few beds and a lot of space, nice breakfast, best location to visit the centre and to go to the airport, 24h desk and the kindest staff. I recommend!

    9Kristina_travelsPosted on: 8-16-2024

    The staff is very nice, the little breakfast in the morning is enough to start your day. A/C worked in the room, which is very necessary as Cagliari is super hot. I liked that the room was quite big for a dorm and we girls had a lot of space for our stuff.

    It's quite a walk and I wasn't prepared to walk that kind of walk. Not the hostels fault, I wish I'd prepared better.

    10LaurenPosted on: 8-6-2024

    Great location, love the building! nice courtyard as well, and tasty breakfast. Helpful staff.

    6World_citizenPosted on: 8-2-2024

    -location-staff-good for meeting people-powerful AC

    -room where I was is not the one on photos provided here-rooms in 1st floor have plumbing from rooms above and it is loud when someone flushes toilet and also you can't open the window because several ACs emit hot air directly at the window

    8MudassarPosted on: 8-1-2024

    Everything was good, staff, location, breakfast etc.Satisfied.

    1: There should be charging points with all the beds.2: Top beds should have some kind of support so you don't fell down during sleep.

    24/7 front desk, good wifi, good location

    Shower didn’t drain well,

    Close by the train station

    Difficult to find at first, no place to charge my phone near the bed

    7TaylaPosted on: 7-21-2024

    The staff were incredible, very attentive and took a lot of time to help solve any issues I had.

    There isn’t a bar or communal area in the hostel for travellers to meet each other. It’s very much a keep to yourself hostel. Luckily I met someone in my room who was also looking to meet others, but most people didn’t want to mingle. Even if they did, there was nowhere for that to happen.

    10PeterPosted on: 7-14-2024

    Personal was so Nice! I really appreciated friendly personál in hostel Marína!Hostel IS basically in center, which IS hughe advantage. Right next to the hostel is Cuban bar,which IS the best! Also restaurant in front if hostel is greate. For nôt so manh money you will get a lot of good food. Breakfast, included in price, IS Also good. I really appreciated that they were cleanong every day.

    I don't have anything to mentione.

    5AbhishekPosted on: 7-11-2024

    Very friendly and helpful staff.

    Absence of lockers in the room, below-par social ambience and hostel initiatives for the same, overprices with respect to the accomodation quality.
