The hostel itself is really clean, has cool, eclectic décor and several patios for guests to hang out on. The kitchen upstairs has an rooftop herb garden with tables and is a really great spot to cook, hang out and relax. Probably my favorite part is how awesome the staff is. Really great people who go out of there way to make the experience at Ostello fun and feel like home. Definitely recommend staying here!

I booked this hostel during my stay in the Lake Como area. The walk from the train station to the…read morehostel was only a 10-12 minute walk, and if your stop is at the end of the train stop called Como, you will be walking in a lovely stretch of the street overlooking the lake and restaurants! The check-in process was fast, and the staff at the front was super friendly. The vibe of this hostel is amazing. I love the whole setup, and it's conveniently located in the central area for shopping, eating/ coffee shops, and boat tours. The hostel's outdoor bar/patio area is excellent for hanging out with friends and people-watching. The staff offers food and good selections of drinks during your stay for purchase. (The bar is open 24/7!). I booked a six-bedroom dorm style for females only, and the whole dorm was clean; the beds were sturdy and beautifully painted with bright yellow color. The view from my dorm overlooked the other outdoor patio area--it would be a great spot to chill in hammocks and chairs if the weather was nice (during my stay, the weather was rainy/gloomy). Since I came during the weekend, there was an event at this hostel every night, which allowed me to interact with other groups or solo travelers from all over Europe who were also in Lake Como for a weekend getaway. I highly recommend this hostel to those looking for a hostel that is safe, clean, and fully staffed with people who genuinely love meeting new travelers and helping them when needed. I had the best time here during my stay in Lake Como. I would come back here and stay in the future if I revisit Lake Como.

I arranged luggage storage at Ostello Bello through Bounce and it was such a convenient service to…read morestart out our vacation in Lake Como. We needed a place to store our bags until our AirBnB check-in, and we wanted to explore Como town unencumbered. Ostello Bello is just a short walk from the train and was easy to get to. I can really only speak to my experience in the lobby and my interactions with the staff, but the vibes upon walking in were really great - good tunes and lively atmosphere. Our bags were quickly checked in and secured, and we were on our way! It was just as easy to collect them a few hours later. The staff also went above and beyond in helping us arrange a taxi to our AirBnB. I can't say enough about how lovely and helpful they were! Although this is a hostel, you can book a private room at a very affordable rate. I would definitely recommend this place as an option for young people traveling on a budget or looking to make some new friends. It seemed like there were lots of activities for people looking to socialize. The location of the hostel is also great, close to transportation as well as a market right next door. I would definitely use the luggage storage service again and maybe next time stay for a drink at the bar!

Queen Hostel was a truly awesome experience. Why?…read more Fast and cheerful check in. Open large common spaces with table tennis, pool, a bar with good deal and activities every evening. One night I did the pasta cooking class. WiFi was strong and consistent (no need to chase down a WiFi cafe) Staff always there to help with local tips - food, going out, things to do, underground stuff. I really liked Lacerba a quirky local cocktail and aperitivo place about 5 minutes from the hostel. It is an easy 10 minute stroll to the inner old town with the Duomo di Milano (famous cathedral) You can hop on 3-4 different types of transport very close by and get anywhere in Milan quickly - so so convenient as Milan is much bigger than you may expect.

I had a blast here. The multilingual staff clearly LOVES working there, which says a lot. They hang…read moreout even when they're not working, people who stay there as guests stay longer so they can start working there, and you almost can't tell the difference between guests and staff because everyone is just getting to know each other, chatting, sharing favorite sights and activities in Milan, etc. It was a cheery, energetic environment when I arrived, and they give you a drink when you get there. It's definitely a party vibe, which I frankly HATE (peopling is exhausting), and I still had a great time, so I can't really give higher praise than that. And if you want to go to sleep, no worries--you won't hear a thing from your bedroom. They accommodated my celiac with some gluten-free items for breakfast! Huge plus. There's a very generously sized kitchen and standard-sized refrigerator if you want to do your own cooking or storing of food. Bathroom was clean, though I cannot understand why someone would put the shower nozzle facing opposite the door, so the second you turn it on you are already spraying water all over the floor of the bathroom.... Lots of outlets in rooms and common areas, hooray! Bring your own adaptor if you don't have European devices. But the bedroom outlets also have a second USB-only outlet, which is dope, because the other outlet near your bed has to be shared with your reading light and whatever other thing you're trying to plug in, so you can't charge two things at once unless you're fine doing it in the dark. My big complaint is laundry: you're not allowed to do your own even though there are multiple machines (and even though it would have been far more convenient for me to do laundry in the middle of the night instead of having to entrust my clothes to someone else), and 10 euro is waaaaaaay too much. My clothes were still damp when I got them back (I guess because I asked for them instead of waiting to just be handed them? But it had been like eight hours and I wanted to sleep and they had my pajamas? So....?), so I had to spread them all around my room and felt like a jerk to my roommates for doing so. I ended up with someone else's undies and lost some of my own, which sucks when you're traveling because that's not something you want to run low on, and it also sucks because I really liked that pair in particular and also because I'm not trying to spend unnecessary extra money on something like undies and also I don't like thinking about how SOME STRANGER HAS MY UNDERWEAR. *shudders* But still, I unreservedly recommend this place--just, if you're traveling to lots of places, do your laundry before and after your Milan stop.

Big kitchen for selfcatering, free WiFi, nice lobby and diningroom with a fireplace. The best thing was the panorama sauna after freezing in the mountains. Beware, the lodge is not reachable with car. You must hike the last 200 meters by foot, bike or ski. Good value for your money and worth to visit again.

Needless to say, I wasn't excited about the "famous" pizza when I first heard about it. But, the kids were hungry and we weren't about to head back up the hill to Mürren. I am glad we tried it: I think their pizza is good by at-home, large city standards and fantastic given the location! As far as food goes, I think the menu at the hostel is limited to pizza, but it is executed well and definitely worthwhile. In addition to the pizza, they have a small bar with two beers on tap: light and dark. While we were there, they were out of the dark, but their light was very drinkable and the local craft brews available in bottles are good as well. I had a hoppy amber that really hit the spot on our last evening in town. I think it was called "Two Jocks" As of this writing, you can get a cheese and tomato pizza for 16 CHF and can add up to 4 toppings for an additional 3 or so CHF. Even better, the pies are ready really quickly! I recommend using some of the chili oil on the tables if you want to spice things up a bit. Pizza and beer makes a great, no-brainer end of day meal after a long day of hiking around the area. They also have soft drinks and other harder stuff at the bar (Jack Daniel's, for instance). If you don't want to stay, you can order the pizza to go and eat it in your room. Just remember that pizzas are not typically served pre-cut in Europe, so you may need a knife if you're sharing :)

Only down side is there is one bathroom for everyone with 3 toilets and 3 showers. You also have to pay 1 frank to shower for 8 minutes of hot water because the hot water is limited up in the mountain! Lol. The views and location make up for everything! They have a free laundry room here as well and free billiards room. Also really good beer! 1/2 liter for $5 at the hostel bar. Cheaper than the brewery next door and it's the same beer.

The highlight of this hotel was the breakfast - simply the most amazing variety of food and beverages I have ever seen at a hotel.
