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.

Had a great stay! Minimal complaints; my biggest issue was the lack of AC. In the mornings it was actually cooler outside than in the room because there was no airflow. Otherwise staff were super nice and helpful and it’s a cozy little area. Definitely family oriented though and quiet.

Left a night early. An older gentleman in a speedo in our room made us very uncomfortable lol. I’m sure he was fine just not the vibe. We thought “youth” hostel would be other young backpackers. Instead it was families with A LOT of kids running around. Very strange vibe here. Honestly wouldn’t recommend hence us leaving early
