Youth Hostel Locarno

Everything worked really well and expected just as the youth hostels of the same chain in other locations. I meant three Receptionist during my stay and all of them were extremely friendly and kind. I had an online meeting and they arranged a room for me. I felt lucky and very appreciated the fact that I happened to be here on my meeting day rather than somewhere else. Breakfast is included, which is awesome for the price. Rooms are great. During summer they might be a little warm, but they have everything we need.

I stayed for 2 nights. I really enjoyed it. I was in a twin room. The first night I was alone, and on the second night they assigned a nice girl as my roommate.Breakfast was quite good, so I didn’t need to eat anywhere else in the morning.The room was clean and tidy.Downstairs, there was a room with lockers that can be locked.I also recommend getting the Ticino Ticket at the reception desk – it allows you to travel around the canton for free and gives you various discounts for museums and boat rides 🥰

If weather is hot don't stay there. Otherwise good sleep option with a lot of ameities. Hot room with only a Fan far awayvfrom window. 30degrC out 25degr inside no colling even with Windows open. Staff not closing blinds thru day.

I stayed 1 night. My room was not disinfected. Whole night I got tortured with itching insect bites. Did not get any sleep. Next day I had insect bite marks on my hands neck, and other parts of the body. Same day I fell sick on my way back to US. When I emailed, Hostel management showed no empathy to my plight, simply saying they found vermin, but nothing beyond that.

Very comfortable hostel with a great breakfast buffet. Very close to the center of town.

Great location. Fantastic, incredibly friendly knowledgeable and accommodating staff. Very clean and comfortable.

Stars for decent breakfast, cleanliness & comfy bed for being hostel. Not rest of the stars because of the sleepless nights with people banging their doors, shouting, jumping in their dorms (entire room trembling) & playing loud music partying at 2:30-4am + starting again at 7am and then the music school also starts their classes at like 8:30+/-….. Would have rather paid for an airbnb entire place where it would cost just more or less the same price. Luckily didn’t stay more than two sleepless nights and happily leaving this place.

This hostel has been one of the better hostels I've stayed in. The rooms were clean. The staff was decent. The breakfast was the best free hostel breakfast I've had. It's a little pricey, but Switzerland overall is a bit expensive, so I can't really complain about the price. The town is really small, so everything is pretty easy to get to from this hostel. The wifi is free, there are free maps at the desk, and it's very quiet at night.
