호텔 산 마리노

Nice

On arrival the hostel looks run down, nothing like the photos, the parking area feels very unsafe. Then you have to walk through an abandoned night club to get to the lift. When I got to reception no one was there, rang the bell 3 times and waited nearly 30mins until the lady arrived to check me in. By this point I had been stood feeling very uncomfortable and decided to leave and not stay here. It did not feel safe at all. I've stayed in many hostels all over the world and never felt this uncomfortable. They also charge for linen which is not listed on expedia, or let people bring their own which is a breeding ground for bedbugs.... Once checking other sites for reviews I realised I had made a mistake. They also won't refund for any reason. Its clear the owner doesnt care about the presentation of the hostel, the atmosphere (zero atmosphere) or the customer service. Being the only hostel in San Marino people are left with limited choices. If solo travelling i wouldn't reccommend this hostel, if not alone then maybe it would be ok, but don't expect an atmosphere. If you have a car go elsewhere back to Italy, where you can get a hotel room for just a bit more, and a bit of a drive.

Got hundreds of bites from bedbugs - after one night! Killed three of them in the morning, confirming that it was indeed bedbugs that bit me. Location is about 3 km away and 300 meters below the old town of San Marino - which is quite the hike even for people in shape. The shower room is.. interesting, somewhat see-through walls and not gender segregated. The bunk beds aren’t stable and there was a sweet smell in the room (which later I found out was due to the amount of bedbugs). The kitchen was a bit messy, but there’s a grocery store around the corner. Good AC. The staff was notified about the bedbugs, but I’m not convinced that they will fix it anytime soon.

Great view!

The only hostel in San Marino - but you could have hoped for a better one. I stayed one night in a 8 person dorm in June 24. There was no lockers, no shelves or power plugs at each bed. Not easy to get up in the top bed. No railing, so you can fall down. Missed more toilets and bathrooms.
