Locarno Youth Hostel

Because the Canton of Ticino is located almost at sea level (at an altitude of 192 metres), it is possible to enjoy a Mediterranean climate from springtime until the end of November. It also means that a large part of life at the "Palagiovani" is spent outdoors - for example at a "Grigliata" in the inner courtyard surrounded by the building's three wings. Naturally, nearly all the modern double and four-person rooms have a balcony. And it's also pleasant to get together on the veranda or under the pergola.

No sleep

Reviewed By heubergen

Not sure if this is on me or not but I could sleep at other hostels before in much bigger dorms. I had a bed in a 2 bed room this time but couldn't sleep for a second the first night and only very little the next one. I can't really say what's the cause, it was not the noise because after 10pm it was very quiet. Maybe the lack of an AC? Maybe the fact that the bed made noises every time you moved only a little bit? Or maybe it's just that the pillow and mattress were uncomfortable. Also, the the check in was a bit of a hassle because the employee didn't speak English very well. The breakfast is fine but nothing special and if you come too late (e.g. 30 minutes after it opens) the juices and breads are gone.

Excellent view and relaxing place

Reviewed By Manlio M

Excellent location(the view is super), spacious rooms, bonus to the swimming pool and the garden that was very good for my children. The breakfast could be slightly improved. We recommend this place and we will come back again.

BNB122

I would go there again!

Reviewed By Angelique M

It was everything except what I expected! It was cosey, a little like feeling at home, but with good weather and a nice view. Breakfast with homemade jams, choice of Swiss cheeses, sit in- or outside terraces you could choose. The owner, Dea, was a nice lady and helpful as you mom at home.

The bare minimum

Reviewed By Trail765688

Poor location if you're a family looking for a good night sleep and you're traveling during the weekend. There was a lot of noise coming from bars down on the street until 2:30 AM. The room was okay, but the breakfast was "the bare minimum", and the croissants were old and dry. The WiFi did not work.

Pensione Citta Vecchia

Worth the money

Reviewed By junya_and_gangs

Quite a good location, around 600 meters from Train station. The room was clean as well as the bathroom but the toilet are so very small. The duvet is super comfortable with a thick down. The owner is really generous. After all it's worth the money.

One night in a tippie

Reviewed By severinedubey

We spent just one night in a tippie and the experience was very fine. The kids really loved it, you need to have your own sleeping bags. Even if it is close to the road, the place is very quite, bathrooms were clean. The staff was ok.

Pardo Bar

Awfully noisy

Reviewed By RebetezFrancois

Sleepless nights guaranteed due to the bar downstairs playing loud music and the noisy drunken crowd sticking to the terrasse way after closing time. Same situation during 4 nights, looks like it’s the norm ! To be avoided
