Customer Reviews Bellinzona
| 05 Nov 2011 Arthur, USA | 93% | |
| Great hostel with good views and nice rooms, as well as a good location within the city. No breakfast during the low season, with no full kitchen facility to cook makes staying a little difficult if staying during those times. Arrival times must also be planned ahead, but free wifi and generous facilities with many lounging spaces make a very nice experience. | ||

| Value for money only Fair because of the change in the exchange rate since our last visit to Switzerland 4 years ago | ||

| the hostel is too expensive. not value for money... although the hostel is located in a great place (beautiful building in the outside), the rooms are very old, the tv is not working and the toilets have more than 30 years without any reparation. please invest the money of our stay to improve your location... | ||

| The hostel is nex tot the train lines and the trains passing by day and night are really disturbing especially during summer time, when the window is open. Same goes for the church bell from the surroundings. | ||
