Manena Hostel Genova

When we arrived the staff were so friendly and chatty! Check in was smooth but we didn’t get a lot of information. We weren’t given any keys at all which was strange. The door to the room could be open by anyone staying at the hostel. The lockers were quite big and were locked with a padlock which the hostel could provide if you didn’t have one. The beds were comfy and had a light but you didn’t get a plug for each bed and needed to share an extension cord with the person on the bottom bunk. There was a table also to put your belongings. Also only the bottom bunk got curtains for privacy which was quite inconvenient. The toilets were good and had a shower in them also. The kitchen was alright. The hostel provided free breakfast from 8-10am which was really good! One thing that was very inconvenient was they shut the hostel from 11-1:30pm for cleaning. So we weren’t allowed in the toilets or in our room for nearly 3 hours. We were only allowed in the common room which caused our day to come to a halt as we just needed to jump into the room to get some stuff and then go out. When we went back into the room it didn’t seem clean as there were marks on the floor and it looked the same as it did when we left it. The staff stayed in the dorm room with you which was also odd. We missed check out because we got our dates mixed up and the staff were so nice about it and let us leave our bags to get later on also which was great! The location was great as it was near everything and not a far walk from the train station. Overall, I wouldn’t go back but would recommend to others for the staff and the location.

I didn't stay at the hostel, but the tour itself is connected to various hotels. My friend and I saw Spyros and the tour and asked if we could join - which he accepted right away! The tour lasts for about 4-5h and you hear about the history and see so much of Genova. Spyros is an incredibly talented speaker and very passionate about this city. The tour is in English, but he speaks 4 languages! We're so glad we've experienced this. A 10/10. At the end of the tour, you can leave a tip (which we all did), but you don't have to.

We didn’t stay at this hostel, but we did take the Spyros walking tour arranged by them each day they have enough people. It was excellent. Spyros is a wonderful guide. He showed us parts of the city we hadn’t yet seen and his explanations were excellent and entertaining. The tours are actually more like 5 hours, and like ours, might include a stop for lunch for those interested. Highly recommended!
