Stay here! Grand…read moreHostel Manin was my home base for my couple days in Cinque Terre. It's about a 15 min walk from La Spezia train station and right next to the harbor to catch the ferry. Overall great location also next to a lot of great bars and restaurants for aperitivo! This is the cleanest most well organized hostel I've ever stayed at in Europe. The rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, shared areas are all impeccable. There's also family dinners on some days so make sure to let them know you can make it. For 5 euros, you get a homecooked meal, wine, and great conversation with travelers from around the world. I would definitely recommend you stay here! For an affordable price and unbeatable location - not to mention its right around the corner from a fantastic gelato place!

This hostel is stellar. One of the top three hostels that I've stayed in during my time in Europe…read more La Spezia is an amazingly clean and chic little town very accessible to the Cinque Terre (5 towns) in Northern Italy known for the picturesque hiking trails. It is brand new, and every inch of it is so clean that it reminds me of a Craft and Barrel showcase. One of my favorite things about this hostel is the great breakfast. Usually hostels don't have breakfast, or they only have really expensive and mediocre breakfast. This hostel has a wonderful breakfast- you get free foccacia that was freshly made that morning. I honestly thought that they were going to ration out the foccacia because it was that good, but they always have enough for everyone, even the ones who wake up late. I really appreciated how welcoming and generous the staff was. The staff celebrated my birthday with me and I was so glad I decided to stay here for that special occasion. I was also really thrilled that they held a pasta making class for 6 euro, they did a great job with that. Most pasta making classes on tour sites like Viator are 50 and up, what a bargain for 6 euro! To be honest, this hostel pretty much gets a solid 10 in every category I could think of. Wonderful location in a high end building in a chic neighborhood. Close the train station to take you to the Cinque Terre (it's only a 7 minute ride). Chic interior that really sets the place apart. Basically nothing can go wrong here! :)

There was no language barrier as well. They even loaned us beach towels and a umbrella for the beach, which was so kind of them! The hotel breakfast was solid. Rooms were small, but should be expected for a small island. It's one of the hotels that aren't incredibly hard to get to with luggage by walking from the train station (unlike the third city in Cinque terre). Only a 12 minute walk with our big suitcase! Rooms were clean and the bathroom was standard and came with hair dryer. Most importantly, the AC worked perfectly.

This hostel was in a convenient location. It took me 5-7 minutes to walk to the Pisa Centrale train…read morestation and 15 minutes (both at a leisurely pace) to get to the airport. I walked over from the airport at midnight and felt like I was completely safe. They have 24 hour concierge service which is very convenient as well. The total for the night was around 14-16 euros. They also emailed me about an all-you-can-eat dinner for only 5 euros, which sounds like a great deal. I appreciated the low price for the stay, but of course it was low for a reason. The rooms were really humid and did not have any kind of ventilation. Even though I used their fresh sheets somehow I ended up finding bug bites on my body over the next few days. They are very accommodating and convenient for travelers, but I probably would look around at other options (if they were cheaper but better) before coming back.

Long time, no yelp! So recently I've been traveling with my two friends to Italy and France having…read morea great time and one of the places that made it so great was this place. It was super close to the airport to the point that my friend that was already staying there met me and my other friend at the terminal and then we walked back in about 10-15 minutes. It was set up pretty modern with 3 computers in the lobby and couches. But my absolute favorite part was having a whole pizza for only 4 euros and the fact that it was arguably one of the best meals I had in Italy all together. They also have a buffet of pizza, pasta, rice dishes with one drink for 7 euros, which was super good. And I also liked the outside that had a huge screen that we could watch the world cup on Whenever I go back to Pisa, this will be my first stop.

I ordered a mojito and decided to choose one of the sandwiches as a bruchette. No problem! The mojito was satisfying and the tomato, mozzarella, and pesto brushette was awesome. It definitely hit the spot. The pest was sooooo AMAZING. I can spoon it. Seriously. I put down the fork and knife and picked it up with my fingers. It was finger licking good. The place is clean and welcoming. I sat outdoors the enjoy the cool breeze and I did not book this place for my stay, but if the accommodations are as great as the food and service, I would definitely give it a try. This places is about a 5 minute walk from train station. Bravo.

As I understand this place was once a convent and it is still very much intact as one. I was visiting during the summer when you'd imagine that they were busy and full but it was reasonably sparse. I had a whole room full of at least three bunk beds to myself for one night. They do have free wifi but it is only functional in the lounge area. It is amazing to explore and the front desk staff was so nice! I was finishing up my backpacking trip across Italy so I really enjoyed that I was able to rest and refuel during my time there. Additionally if you are early to your check in you can always wait in the lounge area. Loved it here and I highly recommend!
