    As a budget traveler visiting for a few days, The Marion Hostel was the perfect choice. The staff genuinely cares about your comfort and the beds are incredibly comfortable with convenient power sockets and bedside lamps. The design and cleanliness of the hostel are impressive, and the kitchen is modern and well-equipped. With a great location near Cuba Street, everything I needed was within easy walking distance. I will definitely be returning to The Marion for future visits.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    The location of the hostel was great, right in the middle of all the action. It was close to cafes, restaurants, and bus stops. the hostel was sparkling clean and tidy, and the bunk beds were intelligently designed with good quality mattresses and luxurious linen. I also appreciated the privacy curtains that could be drawn for some personal space.

    One of the major downsides was the limited parking. Although the manager went out of his way to provide a spot, it wasn't always available.

    The location was perfect, just a short walk away from Cuba Street. The hostel was clean and the staff were friendly. I loved the free unlimited tea and coffee, it was such a nice touch. The bathrooms were well-maintained and the Wi-Fi was excellent. The beds were comfortable and I appreciated the provided towels. The common areas were cozy and there were even guitars and TVs on the rooftop for extra relaxation. I highly recommend this hostel!

    The bunk beds were solid and the privacy curtains created our own little booth, giving us a sense of privacy. The staff, especially Gui, was friendly and were really nice too assist us. The modern kitchen and bathrooms were clean and well-maintained. The location was excellent, just a two-minute walk from Cuba Street. We enjoyed the free breakfast pastries and hot drinks, and appreciated the option of dairy-free alternatives. The laundry facilities and roof terrace were additional bonuses. The TV lounges on each floor were spacious and comfortable. The Marion is by far the best hostel we have ever stayed in.

    While there were minor drawbacks, such as the lack of social activities arranged by the hostel and the need for more seating in the common room, these did not significantly impact our overall experience.

    The value for my money at Marion was excellent - the room was clean, quirky, and of high quality. The location was perfect, right in the city centre, and the staff made me feel like family.

    Breakfast delights, but it could use more variety.

    My stay at Marion was an absolute delight! The hostel was impeccably clean and had a great vibe. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, thanks to the wonderful staff, especially Noah, who provided excellent recommendations. The location was central, making it easy to explore the city on foot. Additionally, the hostel provided fantastic amenities, including reliable wifi and a comfortable common area. Special mention to Fifi's cafe on the ground level for serving a delicious breakfast. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Cheers!

    All was perfect! 👌

    I stayed at a hostel recently and had a great experience. The location was fantastic, with everything within walking distance. The staff were really friendly and provided helpful information. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable, with privacy curtains and individual lights. The bathrooms were also kept clean and had great water pressure in the showers. Additionally, the hostel offered free events and bike rentals, which was a nice touch.

    I did find that the rooms were a bit cramped and could use some additional storage space.

    I recently stayed at The Marion for a short getaway and couldn't have been more pleased. The accommodations were clean, modern, and had lovely skylight windows that provided fresh air. The facilities were excellent, with a great kitchen, comfortable sitting areas, and comfortable beds. I also appreciated the fact that towels were provided without an extra fee. The Marion exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend it for both short and long stays. You definitely get your money's worth here.

    Couldn't recommend more this hotel.

    The best hostel ever! Clean and nice with quiet and respectful guests. Loved the tidy kitchen with complimentary tea and cozy seating space. The comfortable bed had big shelves, light, plugs, and curtains. The staff even put on the sheets for me, and towel rental was free! Plenty of space in the bathrooms for my belongings. Fantastic central location with easy access to nearby shops and restaurants.

    Parking was a bit of a nuisance if you have a rental car, so plan accordingly. The rooms were a bit cramped and could use additional storage space.

    Overall I had a very good stay at Marion. The location was perfect for me, with the interisland terminal within walking distance. The interior of the hostel was beautiful, creating a cozy atmosphere. The beds were comfy and the curtains provided privacy. The kitchen was spacious and organized. Despite some minor issues like thin walls and late-night noise, I would definitely recommend Marion to others. I had a great experience.

    Beautifully designed hostel with wood flooring, comfortable beds with curtains for privacy, and well-equipped kitchen and bathrooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Convenient location near shops, restaurants, and supermarkets. Feels more like a hotel than a hostel.
