Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hostel features garden views and a barbecue. The property was amazing there was so much space and so many things to do like reading in the living room, cooking, yoga or bathing out on the sun chairs. The host was amazing and so considerate I even got my own room as the place was quiet and he constantly checked in on my stay

The Hotel&Hostel Montarina occupies a historic Villa built around 1860, only 200 metres from the Lugano train station. It offers a park with a pool, free WiFi and a limited number of free parking spaces. The room location and facilities were exceptional. I have to add that I booked a single room and therefore was moved to the neighboring Continental Park Hotel. So just something to take into account.

Surrounded by a lush garden, the Youth Hostel Locarno is 1.5 km away from the train station and the Lake Maggiore. The restaurant serves Swiss and Mediterranean cuisine and packed lunches can be provided. i had to check in late due to a late night train, but the staffs were super helpful in ensuring that i manage to check in by myself. got a shared dorm all by myself and i thought the staffs were very considerate because i was pretty worried that i would wake the roommate during late night if i had one.
