Old room, old furniture, small bathroom, smelly room, extremely noisy. Poor breakfast (cold milk, eggs, one sort of salamy, on sort of cheese, old sliced tomatoes and cucumber, that was the it). Bad services and personel, always picking up a fight with the customers. Trash!

You'd better be looking somewhere else

Visited the hotel in end of August. The hotel is ok situated but the room was horrible with a very strong smell of mould. Allergic people beware - and for the rest of you, choose some other hotel.  Although the breakfast was ok I would NOT recommend this hotel to anyone.

Smelly room full of mould.

It is called a 'hostel'. It isn't, for it is most definitely a hotel, albeit a simple one. My room was quite reasonable, but the bathroom needed a bit of attention, as did the bottle of liquid soap that looked, in its filthy bottle, rather threatening. There's not a separate shower cubicle or even a curtain, so everything gets wet. The real issue was the lighting, with one wall fitting just about illuminating the entire room. In fact you could only read in the bathroom, but not everyone likes to sit on the toilet lid with their feet in two centimetres of shower water. 
As other correspondents note, there are balconies outside each room, but I think they are there to improve the view of the hotel from outside, for the view from the hotel is rather less inspiring!
The breakfast is not a buffet, but a choice from a menu card. Personally I prefer this, as trying to play tray dodgems with half-asleep hotel guests while looking for the orange juice is never fun. It is much more civilised just to sit and be served. Even if there was no orange juice...
One point to note is that Google maps has a tendency to send you somewhere else entirely, in my case the bin area behind a mobile phone shop.

Improve the lighting and I'll come again.

This is a small and basic hotel: small rooms, very small bathrooms, no toiletries (except some liquid soap that smelled funny). Rooms are fitted with AC. They also have tiny balconies, with views of the parking lot or the next building.
Restaurant: breakfast is also basic. Not a buffet. You can choose from the breakfast menu, containing 3 menu options, including tea or coffee. Not very tasty food, just eatable.
Check in was fast.
There is no elevator, so you have to drag your suitcases up several flights of stairs, up to your room.
I wouldn't recommend this hotel for a holiday, or for a stay longer than 1-2 nights.

Decent and very close to center and the beach

What you pay for is what you get. If you rent at a hostel, don't expect a hotel.

How to get there: On GPS, search for Alutus Complex (instead of hotel/hostel as that takes you somewhere else) or better yet, search for the Archeology Museum in Mangalia (hotel is just across the road), close to BCR Bank and a school (it's a small street going up the hill from the main boulevard).

Room: Well, what you pay for is what you get. Rooms are decent for the money you pay, clean, but really small with an even smaller bathroom. You have AC in the room, a small fridge and a TV. Local tax is not included in the price, no matter what your voucher says and it's less than 0,5 euro/person/day.

TV: classical one, not LCD. Signal is quite bad. 90% of the channels are in Romanian, a few in Turkish, plus CNN, Viasat Nature and a very few others in English. Good thing is that Romanian channels are not dubbed (don't have voice over, so you can watch a movie in English).

Wi-fi signal: Not sure what the policy is, but I had some wi-fi signal in the room and also at the restaurant (free of charge).

Parking: enough for the number of rooms available.

Breakfast: You have 3 predefined options, average at most, with coffee or tea included.

Restaurant: they have a restaurant, I haven't tried it. We went every night at Luca Restaurant. However they organize weddings there and special events, which can get really loud, until late in the night.

Bath: bring your own shower gel and shampoo.
