Loved the aesthetic. The shower was lovely. Very impressed by the array of pillows to choose from. The bag of sweets and fresh milk in the fridge was a really nice touch. The contents such as a proper ironing board and the hob. The place just captured my attention instantly.

it is THE best hostel in the world, for real. Everything was like in the pictures and even better. the staff is super nice and welcoming. The facilities are so pretty that at some point you doubt that it is a hostel - it could be a hotel! Everything was so clean, the staff does cleaning more than once a day in public areas. Showers and toilets are the prettiest ever. And that is one of the few hostels in this country that offers basic things for cooking for backpackers - there was coffee, tea, sugar etc, cooking oil and even milk (also dairy free) for communal use. Other hostels should learn from The Marion how to do a proper hostel!

Great location on Ghuznee St by Cuba St, easy to walk everywhere and a very reasonable rate compared to other hotels. The staff were also great to deal with and very helpful. Very clean and comfortable room with table and two chairs and a well equipped kitchen area (fridge, 2 rings and microwave) to self cater if needed. Good heating/aircon. I had a quiet room on the back of the hotel. The continental breakfast was great with a fresh muffin too. Very close to the Wellington Eye Centre if you need to stay over as I did.
