The presence of a nearby funicular also offers a straightforward route to the historic sites.
For guests with vehicles, the hostel's setting allows for a manageable drive, and parking facilities add to its convenience. Despite being a bit distanced from the central attractions, the location enables visitors to enjoy peaceful surroundings in a cool area, especially during the summer.

Many guests appreciated the cleanliness, noting fragrant, clean sheets and well-maintained rooms. The common areas, including a bright and beautiful kitchen, contribute to a positive communal atmosphere. Privacy in the rooms is also highlighted as a noteworthy feature.
However, there are areas that could benefit from improvement. Some guests found the furnishings to be modest and sparse, with minimal furniture such as a single table and chair. The beds, made from metal bars, were considered by some to be less comfortable. There were also mentions of issues with cleanliness in certain rooms and bathrooms, with reports of mold and cobwebs. The shared bathroom facilities are noted to be insufficient for the number of guests, with only one bathroom available for numerous beds.
The hostel's location poses some challenges, being described as difficult to reach. Additionally, temperature control in the rooms was a concern for some guests, with the air conditioning sometimes too cold and with no apparent control over the temperature. Despite these drawbacks, many guests find the room quality quite satisfactory for their stays, particularly emphasizing the comfortable and clean sleeping arrangements.
At Hostel San Marino, the beds have garnered mixed reviews from guests. While some have found the beds quite comfortable and conducive to a good night's sleep, others have encountered less satisfactory experiences.

Concerns were raised about the cleanliness and condition of the bedding, with reports of dust, blood stains, and even bed bugs affecting some visitors' experiences. The mattresses have been described as thin and uncomfortable, with some guests feeling the metal slats beneath them. Though the potential for a restful sleep exists, the overall feedback suggests that improvements in both mattress quality and cleanliness could enhance the stay at Hostel San Marino.

Hostel San Marino offers both advantages and challenges when it comes to accessibility for guests with disabilities. The hostel is conveniently located near a bus stop, providing access to both Rimini and the city center without requiring a fare for the funicular, which arrives right at the entrance. However, reaching the funicular requires guests to be in good physical condition due to the walking involved. While the hostel boasts accessibility in terms of parking and spacious rooms, the property exterior is described as old and poorly maintained. Amenities such as accessible bathrooms and showers are limited, though a laundry service is available for a nominal fee. Note that an additional charge applies for bedsheets.
