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...

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

We planned to stay for only three days, but we have stayed the whole week! Lake Como is a wonderful place to visit and Menaggio is a nice town, especially in the evening. We have met a lot of traveling, young enthusiastic people and made a lot of fun together. This hostel is ideally located and the Menaggio town center... More

200 metres from downtown Menaggio, great lake views and small rocky beach nearby. This re-opened hostel seems to be run by a co-op. The east facing rooms are crowded with lockers in some only. Great views over the lake from the two rooms I used - however traffic noise is high much of the time. The men's showers are dirty... More
