This was the perfect place to stay while hiking in Valle maggia. It suits us perfectly as we could self cater and eat our own food at the outdoor dining area in the garden. The staff are always very helpful and the rooms very clean and tidy. We appreciated that this accommodation enabled us to get the Ticino Ticket which we used extensively for buses and trains in Ticino.

Fantastic staff. Kudos for sweetness, charm and professionalism. Normal CH YH breakfast-plentiful and delicious. Room bright and airy. Fan for daytime as nights were cool enough. Lovely women from Austria, Germany and France sharing . All there for the Film Festival. comfy bed. Individual Showers and toilets immaculate. Lovely outdoor patios in front and back. Lots of places to relax on property. Walking distance to the bus stop and centro Historico where restaurants abound as well as Coop, Aldi and Lidl. Beautiful walk back post midnight or later.

“Great youth hostel and helpful staff”

9.0

13 Aug 2024

This was a great youth hostel, pretty good as they come. Staff were amazing to help with laundry and good recommendations around the town and Ticino in general. Not overly busy which was nice, and the facilities were all available throughout the day. Breakfast was a good spread and you can eat it outside on the terrace which is a nice way to start the day. Location is slightly out of town so its a few minute walk to the centre, but there are bus stations nearby from which you can get almost anywhere and the reception are incredibly helpful on where to go and how. Parking is also great, but book in advance as there aren't many spots.
