“Surprisingly good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 March 2010
1
person found this review helpful

This was the first time my friends and I stayed at a hostel- and it was surprisingly good.
We paid roughly 26 CHF for a 4 bed dorm excluding the 10 chf breakfast (though I heard that there was a lot of food) and 2CHF extra for a towel.You could pay a deposit for a key if you will be returning later than10:30 at night- because that's when they close the gates. But overall- it was a cheap- yet good- deal.

The room was clean with cupboards for bag storage with a lock, beds, shelves, some chairs and sink. Because we booked a dorm, we had to share a bathroom with the rest of the people on our level. The bathroom was alright, there was a hairdryer, 5 sinks, 2 toilets and 2 shower stalls. Luckily the rest of the people on our floor were girls, because one would have to either change outside the stall ( but in the bathroom still) or open the stall doors to grab your clothes ( as there was not place to put them inside the stalls).

The location was not in the town centre, but there is a bus stop close by- just a few streets away- that can take you directly to the town centre. There is a migros and denner ( supermarket) close by as well. As a previous reviewer said- the hostel is uphill, so just beware if you are bringing heavy luggages with you. We stayed for only 1 night so heavy luggage was not a problem.

“Clean but no hot water or electrical sockets in room”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 March 2010

Very clean but there was no hot water for showers for a couple of days. All the sockets in the room were blocked up so we couldnt charge our phones, laptops etc. Very picturesque location but it is difficult enough to find and is up a hill (hard with a lot of luggage). Its a very nice place but I wouldnt reccommend it for the price.

“Excellent Excellent Excellent!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 July 2009

person found this review helpful

This hostel is excellent for those wanting to watch their budget. Although they are not located directly in the city of Lugano they are just close enough to walk.(about 15minutes) There is also a bus stop not far from the hostel where you can catch the bus into the city.

The hostel is located off the main road so it's nice and quiet at night!I went with a group of girlfriends and we stayed in the 4bed dormitory. We had great fun! There is even a pool in the back and a nice picnic area.

Breakfast is excellent and the staff are very friendly! Will definatly be staying here when i go to Lugano again!

“The relaxation you need”

people found this review helpful

This is the best hostel I have ever been!

The hostel is situated in the lovely place Lugano.

The hostel offers nice and clean rooms. You can book a room for 2 persons, a family or you just sleep in a dormitory.

The hostel has a great garden with a swimmingpool. You can relax while laying in the garden under a palmtree!

The personel is very friendly and helpfull, the breakfast is good.

Just go there and have a great holiday!

  • Liked — the beautiful garden with swimmingpool
  • Disliked — there is nothing i didn't like
