Almost everything!

I felt unsafe to walk by myself at night

Staff always helpful, breakfast has great variety.

It seems, you have to leave the dorm between 11 am and 1:30 pm because of the cleaning. I only stayed one night, so I wasn't affected, but it might be annoying at a longer stay.

Nice hostel, friendly staff and great location in the city. I could leave my luggage early at the day of arrival and when I didn't have any cash they spared from me the deposit for the lock. The hostel has everything you need and even curtains at the dorm beds. Breakfast is not huge, but enough for a free meal.

The bathrooms were generally okay, but think some of the guests at the time were a bit messy. Unfortunately, the room I stayed in, I could hear a lot of noise coming from the common room, doors open/close very loud & then struggling to open/close the door which made more noise (people returning late from partying or being out etc) and someone vomitted during the night, but this is out of the control of the hostel i guess, luckily couldn't smell much of it during the night but when returned from breakfast almost vomitted myself from the smell (luckily opening windows did the trick!). The hostel is not far off from a street with some pimps & prostitution, but this street can be easily avoided, day time some remarks were made by men on that street but otherwise ok, wouldn't dare to cross night time. In general, in the evening (7-8pm was dark & raining) be mindful of the streets in old town, didn't feel comfortable at times even with other tourists on the streets and returned to hostel early. There is a cute little place nearby on the main street for an evening drink, bit pricier maybe but felt safe at least!

The staff were nice & hospitable, also there is a QR code with recommendations from the hostel. "Free tour" starts from the place on some days - wasn't able to use it unfortunately, but a nice option to have if staying on those days. Little shelf near the bed for top bunks & charging port near by, hooks at the end of the bed. The radiators in bathroom were nice & hot. The location in old town is nice enough, not far off the main street. A local practising piano on the level below - could also be a minus. No need for keys, just ring doorbell to be let in, very fast reply. Can leave your bag in the common area & use facilities post checkout if needed. Bed was comfortable, breakfast was simple but sufficient!

Too few bathrooms and toilets with respect to the number of guests at the place at a time. No curfew but everytime you go out or enter the hostel you have to ring the reception to open the door which is a bit inconvenient.

Very central location and easy to find from main train station, by buses or metro. The hostel is near tourist attractions. Cleanliness and hospitability is at top. The staff are super nice and helpful. You can leave your luggage before check-in and after check-out time. Breakfast is provided with quality. Instructions are clear. You have the possibility to cook in the common kitchen too.

Mid-day cleaning

Very good location, it has everything you need, the breakfast was good, friendly staff, they organize city tours

I was hoping not to pay 2 euros for a towel, but this is not a major complaint. I should have prepared more.

Location was good because it lies near the city center and not far from the station Genova Piazza Principe. Breakfast came with as a buffet and they have a good selection of cereals, bread, yogurt, and drinks.

There is no elevator, which is a bit inconvenient

location is good, staff are helpful 😁😁

It would have been nice to have another bathroom but the wait was never that long.

The common area made it easy to congregate and get to know the others staying at the hostel.

Stayed in March 2024

Not much to complain about. Maybe no space to hang washing, but its a tight space already, so understandable.

Staff were great & friendly. Plenty to do & a lot of good people coming in and out.

The kitchen it’s small, but also it’s okay

The staff is so good

The attempted hassling for 10 euros due to "late check-in" (5 minutes late) which was not stated as a policy of theirs on their booking page. I asked ahead if late check in would be possible, then was delayed by late transport out of my control and was never informed of said fee. Felt scammy and kind of set the tone for my visit

Location was super central, breakfast was pretty good, room was super spacious and so were bathrooms. Kitchen was well equipped.

People are really nice there, you could easily socialise with anyone. I like this a lot

Stayed in November 2023

The doors of rooms and toilets are all not easy to open/close them, and it makes noisy especially in the midnight. And the tiny table next to the bed is not functional actually. Anyway, this is just some minor things for improvement.

Location is perfect. And it is really kind to have breakfast included at this low price.

It would be better to have a kitchen

Very good location, near to the Pisa tower. All the place was very clean

A bit noisy from the restaurant outside

Good location, 24h reception, breakfast was not special but good, high ceiling in the room that gave good air quality even with 12 beds in the room

I feel like the shower cabin was quite small and it was not too good concerning hygiene. the day we left they did hire a new cleaner I noticed, so it might change now. I do however really recommend this hostel. me and my brother loved it even though we spent just one night there

I loved the atmosphere. the staff was so very kind and social. the staff sleeps there as well and hangs out with everyone too. it's a social hostel (especially in the evenings). we just hung out in the common room. the rooms are good. it's clean. the facilities such as kitchen/shower/toilets are fine. the kitchen was very clean. the showers and toilets were okay. the bedroom was spacious and had good spacious lockers as well.

Great staff and really good atmosphere.

Maybe to access the hostel via Garibaldi is the best option....then you cannot cross the small alleys and prostitution places....I felt a bit unsafe when crossing those narrow alleys, specially because internet doesnt work well there and there were many "weird" people circulating there...So, go through Via Garibaldi...

Breakfast was nice, and it was included in the price of the room. Staff was really nice. Leandro, the Brazilian, was very friendly, specially giving tips of places to visit and things to do. For example, instead of taking a bus from Santa Margherita Ligure to Portofino, he advised me to go by walk...and seriously, that was the best thing I did, for the view and for the exercise I really needed to do at some point (I was eating a lot those days).

Stayed in September 2023

The breakfast wasn't very good. The cleaning should be better. The bathroom drains were clogged.

I liked the staff Leandro and Leander were very helpful and friendly. Location was very good and easy to walk around the city.

The laundry was a bit expensive.

The place was not far from the station, and the location was pretty much in the center. The room and the bathrooms were clean.

Stayed in September 2023

2 of 3 showers weee broken (without the hang to support them)

It’s close to city centre and clean. The breakfast was good, comfortable bed, lockers available. No air conditioning but fans worked.

Stayed in September 2023

Two of the showers were only hand held and couldn’t be attached to the wall but it wasn’t a huge issue

As soon as we came in it was a really friendly environment, everyone welcomed us even though it was 11 at night and we got a tour from the receptionist, which was lovely. The staff were all travellers doing world packers or similar so were good fun and hung out with us all a lot. The structure of the hostel was was hugely social and everyone was kind and respectful. Despite being in a 12 person dorm it still felt really spacious. The hostel is also only a 15-20 minute walk from both Piazza Principale station and Brignole station. Breakfast was included and always well stocked and there was a ‘free food’ shelf. The kitchen was clean and had good facilities. Shout out to the great staff - Leandro, Leander and Louiz!
