Very friendly staff who made me feel welcomed not only to the hostel but also to the city. Ticino ticket that enables free public transport is a really good invention and I suggest strongly other tourists to use it.

Everything I expect from an HI hostel really. Particularly liked the dinner option in the evening and breakfast in the morning, which is a good money-saver. Friendly and helpful staff, clean and comfortable.

Friendly staff, good breakfast. The restaurant is good, very tasty food. It has a hostel vibe but for the price, it's great. Better to have a car... not central. Very spacious showers. The view from the terrace is fantastic!

Nice and affordable place for those who would like to enjoy the mountain and lake view from a nice yard or common balcony, cook their own food, hang out and potentially meet some people in a cozy common room.

All hostels in Lugano

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The swimming pool and leisure facilities were excellent. There was a bus from near the station to almost directly opposite the youth hostel and there are shops eg Aldi and Denner within easy walking distance.

Savosa Youth Hostel was an amazing stay for the price in Lugano. Publish Transport is within a few mins of a walk. Availability of Guest Kitchen was an addon.

Montarina is a clean, well managed low-budget hostel in the Heart of Lugano. It is located in a lovely private garden and close to the city center. Recommendable to families with younger children, young couples, singles and aging people who are still young in spirit.
