Hostel San Marino Reviews

It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the cable car station and then a 1-minute ride on the cable car to the tourist area. There is a large mart right next to it and a 24-hour McDonald's 10 minutes away.

I’m going to make this as fair as possible despite the poor rating. This hostel is good value for money if you want to spend the night in San Marino on a budget. The staff were also friendly and helpful. We had a large room for just the two of us. However, the sheets were quite grainy with dirt. The shower room is very close to flooding every time you use the shower. Although the location seems near to the centre of San Marino, we came quite late so had to walk to the top. This really was a struggle as it’s such a steep slope all the way up, so although the location is good for being near a bus stop, if the buses aren’t running it’s quite a strain (45 minute walk on extreme incline). If you’re staying on a Saturday then be wary of the fact the hostel is above a nightclub. However, the reason I have rated this so low is the strange “breakfast”. It specifies breakfast is included but when we went to the kitchen we weren’t sure what was meant to happen. We hadn’t been told the night before. Nothing was laid out or put aside. I’m not sure if you just raid the cupboards and eat whatever but I don’t really feel comfortable doing that in a communal kitchen. There was no one around to ask so we walked to a cafe round the corner. I think offering a service and not providing it is quite poor. The hostel was almost empty so maybe that’s why there had been a lack of instruction and an awkward atmosphere.

I've been travelling and staying at hostels for about ten years, but the poor service and amenities at the only hostel in San Marino did make me gulp. We happened to arrive at 1 pm and just wanted to put out heavy bags down, when the staff member said "no one had told her we would arrive" - well, we had booked two places... There is only one toilet and one shower for all guests, which simply isn't enough. On top of that, both were very dirty and stank. We spent a couple of nights there, but I never understood who the owner was, given that the reception desk was mostly empty.

There is a circus in front (very Fellini-esque), on the first floor a completely abandoned building (perhaps a former disco?). Going up in the elevator to the second floor there is an embarrassing stench. Messy and dirty common areas, fairly clean room (8-bed dorm). However, the terrible conditions of this structure remain unacceptable (dirt, disorder, carelessness). Friendly staff who in addition to managing the hostel manage the attached pub. The structure - which from the outside looks like a filthy motel - overlooks the road that leads to the historic center. To get to San Marino you need to take a bus or go there by car or taxi.

We were very disappointed with this Hostel, we did not expect that in San Marino there can be such dilapidated places, we were unable to take a shower because there was a strong smell of sewerage, it is not possible that in 2022 there are such dilapidated places with black curtains, who knows how long it has been since they changed them, we have been in other Hostels but they are very well looked after

tutto ok.....avevo chiesto massima pulizia nella stanza ed era molto pulita,gli spazi in comune come la cucina che comunque non ho usato perchè andavamo a mangiare sempre nel centro storico erano puliti anche quelli(ma questo dipende dagli ospiti come si comportano non dalla struttura)l'unica cosa un po scocciante che se tutti stanno usando la doccia nella struttura nello stesso momento l'acqua arriva tiepida se nel mio caso si sta nella stanza privata più lontana dal serbatoio.Comunque esperienza positiva premesso che andavo solo a dormire la sera dopo aver girato San Marino.Al primo piano sotto la struttura c'è tipo un risto-pub, pizzeria, e anche un supermercato per fare la spesa, a meno di 5 minuti a piedi bar con tabaccheria

Siamo stati per una notte ,stanza grande e ben riscaldata,lenzuola profumate e personale gentile....da provare. Oltretutto è facile parcheggiare ed è vicino al centro di San Marino....meno di 5 minuti in auto.Vicini anche supermercati e locali per mangiare.
