Our room was very clean, there’s a restaurant downstairs, it’s a 2 mins walk to the ferry station. Don’t miss your bus stop or get off early coz you be walking on the main road where buses and cars drive, there was no pedestrian lane.

Amazing stay

Brilliant stay. I stayed for 3 night and all of the staff were lovely and very friendly. The only thing was the shower door was broken you could shut it but with difficulty. But it wouldnt stop me going again. Location was amazing and the view made the trip.

Amazing value given the location

For the price we paid, it’s incredible value. The hostel is tired and exactly what you’d expect for the price, but the location and views are amazing, the staff are super helpful and friendly and the restaurant really well worth a visit. If you want a budget short stay, this is the perfect stop off

Lake Como hostel

Great stay we found the staff very friendly and helpful. We even received an email from hostel advising us of a rail strike that was planned during our dates there, which allowed us to tweak our trip plans. The hostel was very clean & well presented & we met some lovely fellow travellers there. Hostel very close to public transport which was very convent for us. We did have dinner there unfortunately the pasta was undercooked otherwise everything else was very good.

Beautiful views not so great bathrooms and beds.

You get what you pay for, it's inexpensive for sure, but the bunkbeds were not so comfortable and the mattresses had a lot of hair stuck in them. The shower was small and if you are a more curvy type of person you literally have to squeeze in and out of the shower. The staff were helpful and even though they said they had gluten free options, it was pretty poor options and I ended up buying my own gf bread. Which you can buy at a local pharmacy near by for a reasonable price. The location is wonderful and they have a nice private beach.

Superb location but it remains a ‘youth’ hostel.

Great location, fantastic lake view, lovely lake walk, great for running too. Nice atmosphere but it remains a ‘youth’ hostel, so very basic facilities, e.g. holes in sheets, found a pair of shoes under the bed (not ours) so obviously no one cleaned under the bed! Could just open the bedroom door, at least enough space to get into the room as door banged against the bed.
