Hostel Mancini

Okay hostel. Area is totally sketchy though; if you can help it, get here before dark. You have to ring the bell every time you want to get in, and there’s no room key either; last person who leaves takes the key to the reception, and if you’re the first person to the room, you get the key from the reception. Interesting system. The beds are alright but a bit creaky, and the blankets are warm. It’s next to a street that was having construction when I went though, so it was a bit noisy. The bathroom is inside the room, but the light for the bathroom and the shower are super loud. There are lockers that you need to bring locks for (as usual). They provide breakfast, which is toast and a variety of spreads, cereal, tea, and coffee, and there’s a fully functional kitchen and eating area. Staff is pretty friendly though!

Somewhat poorly maintained hostel in a questionable neighbourhood with cheap, shaky bunk beds and LOTS of street noise. I found a shaving razor on the shower floor, but I suppose that’s the fault of the guest rather than the establishment itself.
Other problems are the lack of night life (lame common area and no bar) and lots of rules: the staff evacuate the hostel whenever the cleaning staff come.
