Breakfast was simple. Location was great. Interesting place to stay as the building is unique and has history. Thomas and other staff were friendly and helpful. Guests will receive a Ticino Pass that allows you to use public transport in Ticino for free, saved me alot of money since I was commuting to Lodrino everyday for work and also to Lugano and other nearby towns via train.
Room was small, it felt a little hot during the day in Sept, I can foresee it being an issue especially during the hotter summer months. Walls are quite thin, so you can hear other guest shuffling in their room and as they walk pass down the hall. For the price I was paying, I can't complain much. Would stay again.

Friendly staff and I was able to check in early when I'd planned to stop off my bag. I had a dorm to myself which was lucky, there's one portable fan in the room to move the air due to the heatwave but I think it would have been tough if the room was full. The hostel seemed busy and was noisy early in the hallways etc but quiet from my room. I only stayed one night so didn't check out the facilities. Great price and location especially for Switzerland.

The location of the hotel is absolutely perfect. It is really close to the train station, and all the key attaractions in town. It's also well connected with plenty of great hiking routes. The value for money is brilliant. A quick note (but I really did not mind that, and the hotel completely fulfilled my needs and expectations): as I was travelling in November, and the season was low, it was not possible to order breakfast.
Thanky you, in my case, the hotel was a perfect match in all respects.

Beautiful building next to one of the castles. Worth a look just for that. Very well located, next to the old center. Friendly staff. I was in a dormitory, it was decently clean and comfortable.
No airco in the room which was really warm, and not enough storage in the room.

Front desk staff very friendly and helpful. You cannot beat the location. The room was clean and actually very modern. I enjoyed being on top floor. The train track is right next to hotel and that’s the only minus for me. It was loud and woke me up all night but that’s not the hostel’s fault. I would definitely return.

Clean and quiet hostell. Location is suoerb! Fridge, microwave and lockers. Locked carage for bicycle. Easy to arrive with train. The private room was large enough to stay some days.
Breakfast was really simple. Coop supermarket is in train station where you can buy better breakfast even lower costs.

Fantastic location!! Location right next to castle Beautiful and close to okd town. Nice staff. Clean room.
Everything fine, but very large building. A bit "scary" at night if alone? Dated bathroom and shower facilities, but clean! Would have been good to have option of coffee without sugar at breakfast.

Great hospitality. Comfortable rooms, with many services inside the facility. Great location, close to the city centre. Suggested for cyclists staying one or more nights in the region. Locked room for bikes on site.
Just few choices at breakfast. To be taken into account if you are in the area for hiking or cycling and you need a big breakfast in the morning.

Very helpful staff at the reception. I arrived late and was given very good recommendation of nearby dinner options. Hostel is also at a convenient location next to bus stop, within walking distance to the Central Area.
All’s good
