About

Lugano is an incredibly versatile place. It's a city of finance and business that manages to maintain its likeable flair, attaches importance to culture and zest for life, and offers its inhabitants green oases with fragrant flowers. Various festivals bring streets and squares to life, and after a stroll through the car-free old town, you really want to just soak up the sun in one of the pleasant restaurants. A comfortable bed with a breakfast buffet in a newly renovated youth hostel is waiting for you just a few kilometres away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. So you can start the next day feeling reinvigorated, and explore the region around Lake Lugano on a hike, by bike or by boat.

Cancellation policy:
You can cancel up to 14 days before the arrival date. In case of late cancellation or no-show, the accommodation will charge the full outstanding amount.

Lovely hostel - absolutely spotless, very well-stocked kitchen, and nice and quiet. It’s a little outside the city centre which wasn’t an issue as it’s easily accessible by bus (and bus is free with Ticino ticket). There wasn’t much of a social scene when I was there but met nice people, staff are also lovely and really helpful.

Overall not a bad stay. The area was nice and an easy bus ride into the main town. This hostel caters to families which I did not realise when booking so there was families with young children around the pool all day. You also have to pay €5 a day to use the kitchen unless you want to use the one by reception but only one person at a time can use that one. Staff were friendly and let me leave my luggage before I checked in and after I checked out. Rooms very hot - not air con or air flow.
