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

Our room was very clean, there’s a restaurant downstairs, it’s a 2 mins walk to the ferry station. Don’t miss your bus stop or get off early coz you be walking on the main road where buses and cars drive, there was no pedestrian lane.

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.

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.
