Marathon Hostel - Genoa

I had an amazing stay at a hostel in the perfect location. Everything was within walking distance, from popular attractions to public transport. the staff were approachable and helpful, providing us with a map and recommendations upon arrival. the bar downstairs was a great place to socialize, with plenty of space and natural light coming in. the hostel itself was clean and the beds offered privacy with curtains. the spacious kitchen was an added bonus, and the security system using a numeral code made it convenient to access the rooms. I would definitely choose to stay here again. Cons: Everything about my stay was great! 😄.

Excellent staff, great food and drinks at the bar, brand new and clean room and bathroom, superb location, great value for the cost.

Can't fault anything about it.

The location of the hostel was fantastic, with easy access to public transportation and a vibrant restaurant scene nearby. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay, making me feel welcome and ensuring a comfortable experience. The private rooms were clean and well-designed, with thoughtful touches like curtains on the bunk beds for added privacy. The showers and toilets were also kept clean, and the wifi connection was reliable.

The lack of organization in the social kitchen. It seemed like many items in the fridges were left behind by previous guests, creating a messy and confusing environment.

Cleanliness, helpful staff, private bathrooms, good location.

Nothing I didn't like to be fair.

Friendly staff and fast processing in a good located hostel which is only a few months old. The guy who is running the bar is a funny one, we got our small beer for free as he was sorry to see a german "only" drinking water beside a small beer :). We had a room for two which was quite plain and clean - price-performance ratio is fair. I can recommend that hostel.

Possible Improvements: in the kitchen there is super small electric kettle. No chairs and hucks in the room.

Marathon Hostel provided great value for money with spacious rooms, helpful staff, and a central location. The beds were comfortable, and the curtains added a nice touch of privacy. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the bar downstairs offered discounts to hostel guests. The use of pin codes instead of keys was convenient, and the hostel had a simple gym to use.

The breakfast option could be improved by providing hand driers or hand towels in the bathroom. it would have been better if housekeeping had given a warning before entering the rooms each morning.

The bed had its own light and socket, convenient. I had a positive experience at Marathon.

Clean, private toilet and shower facilities in each dorm room. Central location in the heart of the city. Convenient on-site bar with affordable prices.

The bed and pillow felt damp and uncomfortable. the AC was cold but the thin blanket provided was insufficient.

Great location, close to transport, shops, and cafes. New kitchen with plenty of space. Cafe with discounts on breakfast and dinner. Friendly and helpful staff. Secure rooms with individual codes. Quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Convenient locks and lockers in rooms. Ideal for a comfortable stay.
