Lovely location! Very beautiful views and convenient walkability to the town of Menaggio and the ferry. The facilities were slightly dated, however. Overall, would recommend this place!

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.

Perfection by all means !!!
The location was perfect, the prices as well. The vibes there is outstanding and the people who work there can't be adored. I stayed 1 night but wanted to stay more, the atmosphere was awesome even though I slept really early. The food is extra yummy and cheap as well. Loved the riddle for the toilet and I will come back, No questions asked <3

Nothing more and nothing less than average
Chosen the hostel by reviews. Being there I felt it's overrated. Yes, the location is a No. 1 location. Nothing else is special. During my stay I couldn't get hot water for showering. I did strip wash. Haven't seen a clean toilet or shower cabin. I felt sick after three days having the "included" breakfast because it was just so poor. The only thing was tasty is the dinner. Every night till midnight were activities which means noise. The staff is friendly. I had much better and more comfortable experience in hostels.

Perfect location at Lake Como
I had an overall pleasing stay there. The staff is really super friendly and international. There's dinner every evening prepared by the place's cooks. Pasta for 6 or 7 euro or a buffet for 10 euro. Both tasted really excellent! Personally, I think 10 euro is a little to much for the buffet (if you're not eating as much as a horse) - My friends however prefered the buffet. The view from the reastaurant (where you also have breakfast) and other rooms of the hostel is simply stunning. The hostel is easily accessable by public transport - either by bus from Como or by boat or ferry from Varenna. The beds were perfectly fine, the room was clean at the arrival. The only weak point were the toilets. They were very small and you really have trouble first time taking seat because it's so narrow. It is defenitely the perfect place to stay for young people at Como Lake (and that is not only because of the price which was pleasingly low)

Great hostel with amazing views & good atmosphere
Decided to change it up on my trip around Lake Como and stay at a hostel for the night. Was pleasantly surprised with this place, the room was spacious although could have used a fan as it was quite hot at night. Facilities were great and the food was tasty and cheap along with the drinks. Great views of the lake from our room and the communial areas, which were also very vibrant and enjoyable. Could happily base myself here for a week to explore the surrounds.

Lake como was amazing! This hostel has really outdone itself! All of the staff was great except for one girl (She was moody sometimes) great meals for dinner, breakfast could use some improvement. Great price and beautiful location. I would stay there again no doubt!

Great hostel, just don't get Rm 7
Friendly hostel in nice location. We stayed in Rm 7 (family room) which had an overwhelming sewer odor problem in the bathroom that apparently staff was well aware of. We couldn't use the in-room bathroom due to smell.

Le foto pubblicate su Hotels.com non rispondono alla realtà delle stanze, dalla foto pubblicata sul sito sembra una stanza Basic di un albergo in realtà la stanza aveva due letti a castello con il lavabo nella stanza mentre la doccia è il WC erano in una micro stanzetta talmente picca che il porta rotolo della carta igienica era attaccato alla porta per mancanza di spazio. Nel complesso una sistemazione dignitosa.
