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!

Lugano Savosa Youth Hostel, hotel in Lugano

Surrounded by a large garden, Youthhostel Lugano features an outdoor pool with deckchairs and sunshades, as well as children’s playground and volleyball, badminton and table tennis facilities.

Mike, who welcomed us at the reception, was very friendly. He was very helpful and made sure to greet us with a warm smile. We were able to speak with him in both German and English, and he mentioned he knows two more languages as well. The hotel was very quiet and peaceful, surrounded by nature. The beds were comfortable, and the sheets were clean. Thanks to the free city public transport ticket provided by the hostel, its location on a hill didn’t cause any issues.

All hostels in Ascona
Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great central location and tranquil spot. We had the casa rustica to ourselves. Had a lovely breakfast in the garden. Bed was very comfortable and we borrowed the free bikes to get around town (caution: not flat!). It is more like an evangelical hostel than a hotel but all the modern comforts are still to be had.

    Fantastic location on the lake with stunning views. This hotel has some of the friendliest staff we have ever encountered, they were just lovely. The suits are very well appointed but then this is not a cheap place to stay so they should be. The food in their lake front restaurant was excellent as was the service. Breakfast was superb too. There is an excellent attention to detail for guests throughout the hotel which is a credit to the hard work team behind it. If your thinking of staying in the area then is should be top of your list!

    This hotel has a great location, just outside the pedestrian zone of Ascona. Private parking is available. Rooms are comfortable and functional. Views from the restaurant terrace is fantastic and breakfast is very good.
