    The photos on the website do not match the reality. In the room, there were bunk beds instead of single beds, which was problematic for me as I had a knee injury. The guests were very loud during the night and disrespectful.

    I missed a bar or a functioning vending machine.

    There's always a bit of skepticism when sharing a room with strangers but Hostel Marina offered a very peaceful and enjoyable stay (I really appreciated the women-only bedroom). The installations were very clean and with AC, very important as it was crazy hot those days. On another note, the place was beautiful. With high ceilings and wood...it felt like an old convent. The location was amazing too. I would definitely come back for a solo affordable trip!

    I was on the top of a very big room and the AC didn't have much power, but it was okay.

    It was spacious and they had a lift. They had a dining room with good AC and snacks machines that proved to be very convenient. The location is amazing. Overall a good place to stay, but I wouldn't stay there for to long.

    The lights in the room didn’t work properly. In order to have one light going, we had to change to switch board which meant no aircon and no bathroom light. Not to mention the flickering light bulb in another light. It’s true that the beds really are uncomfortable. They are incredibly hard but also very lumpy. Walls are also very very thin and could hear neighbours at all hours of the night.

    Loved the location and how kind the staff were. We were able to hire an umbrella off them for a day at the beach. Would highly recommend doing this!

    quite unexpected payment 2.5 euro for renting a towel; the breakfast bar was closed (so no breakfast available)

    It's a hostel - nothing more. Check-in in the middle of the night was really OK! It is clean, comfort like in monastery (seriously :-))

    The bathroom was a little bare bones - we supplied our own soap and shampoo, etc.

    Check-in was very easy and the staff were kind. It was nice and cool with air conditioning, even though we were in a family room with three beds up and one down.

    I didn’t like the fact that there‘s no kitchen or even a fridge on the property. Also I felt like it was nearly impossible to get in touch with other travelers.

    The location of the hostel is amazing. You can reach a supermarket (la plaia), the train station, many restaurants and the main attractions of cagliari by foot. I also liked the dorms which were big. And fortunately the AC worked. The staff was friendly and helpful.

    The staff wasn't really friendly or very welcoming. There aren't any hostel activites so you don't meet anyone outside of your room. The place definitely has lots of potential, but if you are a solo traveller well....you don't have much hostel options anywhere in Sardenia. The AC was pretty bad, like the room s were hot and i was barely making it.

    The location is great, too good.

    No locker or closet you could lock for your valuables. 1 shower/6 women could be tricky.

    It was close to the train and bus stations. The staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty of restauranta close by, bike rentals also.

    Would not choose for long time accomodation, but if you like to stay in the center for good price and have something just to sleep there, it would be fine even for a week.

    Perfect for 1 or 2 nights stand, we use it after late flight as a bridge sleep over. Air condition is available, 24/7 reception. We had own room with bathroom, it was fine even with the kids.

    this hospital has so much potential to be 10 times better than it is right now. It has so much space for more activities for people to get to know each other and have something fun to do. Also the kitchen on the bar is just very dead, which at this hostel has so much potential to be the best hostel in the island. I hope you take in consideration and creating more activities and fun things to do with the hostel and use the empty space downstairs for something useful.

    the amount of room in the room. the comfort in bed.
