Locarno Youth Hostel

locarno-hostel-large

The newly refurbished hostel is located in the unique "Palagiovani" (Palace of Youth) which is also home to the Ticino's local radio station.


Dorms CHF 36.50+; Private CHF 42.50+

It offers modern rooms from 2 to 6 beds, some with shower/toilet and all of them with a washbasin. Part of the rooms have their own balcony.

Because the Canton of Ticino is located almost at sea level (at an altitude of 192 metres), it is possible to enjoy a Mediterranean climate from springtime until the end of November. It also means that a large part of life at the "Palagiovani" is spent outdoors - for example at a "Grigliata" in the inner courtyard surrounded by the building's three wings.
