    Hostel has a lockout - 10 til 4 I believe. Dinner offered each night was cheap and tasty. Typical Italian b/fast (free) - roll, coffee, cereal. 15 min walk into town, or buses that drop you off right outside. Staff were very friendly, and helped with anything we needed. The dorms are single sex, so I couldn't stay with my wife. Curfew is midnight.

Hostel Overview

A lakeside vacation here is a wonderful experience that's hard to forget. There are also lots of other things to see: besides stunning Lake Como, which can be crossed to the other side by frequent erries, there is the beautiful art and the shopping in nearby towns - all easily reachable. Travel to a town where it's possible to buy silk at a discount, for instance. The list of activities here is so long that there's no chance of being bored in Como, the commercial crossroads between Europe and Italy. There's also a bit of folklore that takes place each June when the evocative Medieval Palio is held.
