Because Lake Como is beautiful and it would be a pity to miss out. Lazy staff, super cramped toilets, dingy rooms (clean but completely no frills). We asked for a double bed and were given two bunk beds instead and had to put on our own sheets and pillow covers. Too many weird rules. The views here are beautiful but... More

My friend and I stayed in a private room for three nights in May. The room was basic (two bunk beds, sink, drawers, lockers, chair, desk, mirror), but clean and comfortable with an amazing view of the lake. Bathrooms are shared. After reading some reviews we were concerned that it would be noisy at night time but this wasn't a... More

Our family of 4 including 2 teenagers stayed for 2 nights in April. The staff were very helpful and the meals good value. To enjoy the magnificent location for such a reasonable price was fantastic. We absolutely loved Lake Como and we would definitely stay here again

Beautiful location for meeting backpackers from Australia, UK, USA and enjoying good food for a very good price. The ferry is just two minute-walk from the hostel so you can reach Varenna and Bellagio by the amazing view of the lake. There's a direct bus from/to Como so it's easy to reach. The rooms are confortable and clean and the... More

I have spent many years backpacking..and stayed in a variety of hostels. This could possibly be the BEST one I have experienced. With the stunning Lake Como at its footstep it is the location of this hostel that makes it such a magical place to stay. The staff are friendly, rooms are standard, the communal area makes it easy for... More

The hostel is in a great location. It's easily accessible, right off the main road and right across the street from the lake. Bedrooms were clean, some have balconies looking over the lake...others had no balconies with windows looking at stone walls with spiderwebs=same price, make sure you request one facing the water. Food is super gross. Breakfast consists of... More

Have stayed here twice now. Love the million dollar location overlooking Lake Como, friendly staff and of course the budget price. The shared dorms facing the lake are great, but the one at the rear (where I stayed the first time I went) was cramped and no view. The shared toilets are tiny and you can barely fit in. Bags...

I stayed in this hostel with a couple of friends this September, and got more than we ever expected! The atmosphere is palpable and the staff make you feel part of tghe family! Every effort is made to make you feel welcome and involved. As an old Italian building there are ups and downs: *Rooms: Small and cosy, but dry,... More

We ordered a private room to be calm, we asked for a quiet room and we found that the room faced to the dinning tables. As people is young they all do party ´till very late so we couldn´t sleep. When we complained to them (twice ) but they continued partying until 03.30am Even though if they close the bar... More
