Solo traveller staying in a dorm room. The room was tidy and comfortable. The shower facilities were also clean and adequate. Central location in Locarno city. Very friendly staff.
Ich fand das Personal mega freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer bietete alles was man für einen kurzen Trip brauchte. Leider rutschten die Matratzen immer wieder von einander was dafür sorgte das man ein zwei male auch auf dem Lattenrost schlief aber dies war kein Problem
The people at the desk are super friendly! The breakfast buffet is generous. There is currently some building work in front which makes some noise after 8 am. A perfect place for backpack travelers and a public transportation pass will be delivered for all your stay.

Preis-/Leistung stimmt für mich überhaupt nicht.
Austattung und Zimmer sind OK für eine Jugendherberge aber der Preis dafür einfach überrissen!
