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

Great vibe, and great value! It is in front of the lake. I had an adventure before I arrive there as was late storms and no transport. But managed it. It is clean. Plenty of toilets and showers. The guy at the reception was really good even offered to pick me up when he had to finish his shift. Also he offered me a slice of his pizza as I could not find anywhere with my adventures. Defently recommend it.

Flott plass med utsikt over Comosjøen

Enkel standard på rommet. Rommet var lite og renholdet kunne vært bedre. Badet var lite. Beliggenheten var topp. Flott utsikt over Comosjøen, god mat og hyggelig betjening. Kort avstand til både buss, båt og sentrum i Menaggio.

Amazing stay

Brilliant stay. I stayed for 3 night and all of the staff were lovely and very friendly. The only thing was the shower door was broken you could shut it but with difficulty. But it wouldnt stop me going again. Location was amazing and the view made the trip.

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.
