Il ne s'agit pas réellement d'une auberge de jeunesse, mais d'un foyer pour jeunes travailleurs. Vous ne retrouverez pas donc ici l'atmosphère chaleureuse d'un hostel, mais l'endroit est bien situé pour découvrir Locarno et ses environs. Le prix est un peu élevé, mais j'ai eu la chance de profiter d'une chambre solo pour le prix d'un lit en dortoir, merci encore pour ce surclassement ! Pas de cuisine où vous pourrez vous faire vos propres repas mais l'hostel propose des repas pour 19 CHF ...

It is not really a hostel, but a home for young workers. so you won't find the warm atmosphere of a hostel here, but the place is well located to discover Locarno and its surroundings. the price is a bit high, but I had the chance to enjoy a single room for the price of a bed in the dormitory, thanks again for this upgrade ! no kitchen where you can cook your own meals but the hostel offers meals for 19 CHF (which is very re

Ein wenig teuer, wenn das Hotel näher beim Zentrum nur 10.— teurer ist und über Handtücher und eigenes Badezimmer verfügt. Die Miatarbeiterinnen sind top und sehrsehr nett und hilfsbereit.

A little expensive, if the hotel closer to the center is only 10 more expensive and has handbags and its own bathroom.

Staff is really nice and helpful. It's a good place to stay just for a couple nights. About the restaurant (specially for breakfast) if you compared it to others Youth Hostels in Switzerland, here they offer just th basic.

Auberge très chouette. Accueil sympa. Grande diversité d’hôtes, côté vivant et tranquille à la fois. Génial d’avoir un local vélo avec de quoi gonfler ou réparer.

Very nice hostel. nice hospitality. great diversity of hosts, lively and quiet side at the same time. great to have a local bike with something to inflate or repair.

J’ai pris mon ticket sur un site pour deux personnes et quand j’arrive on me dit que c’est réservé pour une personne et j’ai du payer un supplément, ce qui me rend plus cher qu’un hôtel. Je petit déjeuner était très bon avec un bon choix. Tout étaient globalement propre.

I had a great time and would happily stay again! The staff were very helpful and friendly, the breakfast was good and the room and facilities were nice. The noise insulation in the bedroom wasn’t very good so I could hear other people talking in nearby rooms, but this was not a major problem for me personally. Also, check-in was an hour later than stated on Hostelworld, but I was able to sit inside and relax for a while before I checked in.

I only stopped for one night and slept really well. Breakfast was good. Location is good. Staff was friendly. From an hygiene perspective, I recommend to the staff to put blankets into covers themselves in dormitory and not rely on travelers to do so. One girl in my dormitory arrived very late thus slept directly using the blanket without cover. This is kinda dirty.

Loved this place!! So cute!! Clean and for only 2 beds per room, great value. Since this is kind not a very hot spot in fall/winter I got put into a room by myself and I loved it. Nice showers and bathrooms. EXCELLENT free breakfast. And the staff were so lovely and helpful, I wish I stayed more than 1 night bc it’s my favorite place I’ve stayed this whole trip. I felt very safe and calm.

Friendly staff, nice rooms, comfy beds, bathrooms as ways clean. 2 min flat walk from St Antonio train station was amazing, and only 10 mins to the main piazza. Felt a bit more like a hotel than a hostel - there was a few family’s around and small kids running around downstairs.

Friendly staff, the house very clean, an pleasant garden with nice seating, quiet at night, despite full occupancy there were no bottlenecks in the bathrooms. the breakfast includes super bread, open butter and jam, fine cheese and good coffee. the fruits are kept somewhat simple. the room and house are poorly ventilated. in summer the heat is in the room - good to know for a little heat-contradictory guest.
