Guests enjoy free use of all public transport in Ticino during their stay, as well as discounts on several leisure facilities. Please note that a daily surcharge applies to guests who are not members of the Youth Hostel Association. I cannot overstate the professionalism, care, and consideration of all the staff working there. Effortlessly adapting to language and cultural needs, they went far beyond expectations to ensure the stay was highly enjoyable for my daughters and me. Thank you, Grazie, Danke, to all those in front of house and behind the scenes who made our stay such a joy.

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.

Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at the hostel also offer free WiFi. The simplicity of check in using codes to enter the house and room. The rooms are newly renovated (Aug 2025) with an excellent bed and shower/bathroom. Loved my stay. Highlight was having supper in the villages Restaurant Osteria Salzi (village square). Would recommend both to anyone hiking through on the Strada Alta and the Trans Swiss Route (Nr 2).

The hostel offers some rooms that have lake views, and rooms are fitted with a shared bathroom with a shower. 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!
