Guest Reviews
- Kagan (9/5): -
- Anna-Tania (4/5): Nicht zu empfehlen weil dort über Wochen/Monate unangenehme Bauarbeiter mit in den Zimmern wohnen. - Beste Lage Dort haben mehrere Bauarbeiter gearbeitet und abends auch in den gleichen Zimmern wie die Gäste geschlafen. Es hat extrem stark nach schweiß und getragenen Turnschuhen gerochen...unerträglich. Dazu haben diese Bauarbeiter extrem laut geschnarcht. Als eine neue Frau nach ein paar Tagen dazu ins Zimmer kam haben die abends im Zimmer mit Alkohol gefeiert. Ich habe versucht fair zu sein und wollte das Zimmer wechseln dabei hat der eine Bauarbeiter der jungen Frau an der Rezeption die mit denen offensichtlich befreundet war mir einen Vogel hinter meinem Rücken gezeigt obwohl ich noch nie ein Wort mit ihm gewechselt habe. Ich habe befürchtet das diese Italiener mich attackieren würden wenn ich mich beschwere so wollte ich einfach nur den Raum wechseln was ich dann auch tat. Außerdem haben die extrem stark geraucht direkt vor dem Fenster was sehr unangenehm war. Das Sicherheitsgefühl in diesem Hostel ist schlecht weil ab 23 Uhr niemand mehr an der Rezeption anwesend ist.
- Victor Gustavo (7/5): Boa! Bem localizado e organizado - Próximo a estação de trem, cozinha e área de refeições bem organizadas Quarto compartilhado pode ter muito barulho a noite, principalmente hóspedes roncando alto, entrando e saindo do quarto

- Stefanie (8/5): War wieder wunderschön! - Super Lage, nettes Personal, tolle Ausstattung.
- Luna (8/5): -
- Kateryna (9/5): I liked it. - I liked it very much. The three-person room only had one electrical outlet. The soundproofing was poor. Despite this, we were pleased with everything.
- Cristiano (5/5): Non rispondente alle attese - La parte storica dell'hotel dove però purtroppo non era la nostra camera. Dopo qualche ora dal ricevimento della conferma della camera presso l'hotel Montarina, mi è arrivata una comunicazione che le camere standard (come quella da me prenotata) erano presso l'hotel partner attiguo Continental Parkhotel. Fra l'altro non nella bella struttura storica principale ma in una più anonima dependance con vista scadente. Inoltre la camera era più piccola di quella vista online sul sito dell'hotel Montarina e non con 2 letti singoli come richiesto, ma con un solo letto matrimoniale. Infine il distributore automatico di bevande e snack attivo all'ingresso della dependance non funziona nelle ore serali e notturne quando se ne ha maggiore necessità.
- Syed Araib (10/5): Marvellous - Staff was very co-operating as well their assistance was just amazing Nothing everything was perfect
- Stefanie (10/5): -
- KimCanaria (8/5): Great place close by train station - Great location, once I found it 😉 had fun there with the people. Staff very friendly. Well organized hostel. Only thing i would change is to put napkins or paper towels in kitchen and toilets, apart from that very good.
- Arlette (9/5): -
- Siloe (8/5): Great experience - Friendly and helpful staff, feeling safe, shared dorm but with space and nice people, beautiful place perfectly located, ticino pass was perfect to explore ticino

- Mirjam (10/5): -
- Christian (9/5): - Der kühle Pool Das es nur Kaffee aus dem Automaten gab wenn man kein Frühstück wollte
- Alizée (9/5): Cozi et super pour la locomotion - J’ai beaucoup aimé l’accueil, je n’ai pas pris le petit déjeuner, mais le reste était vraiment chouette ! Une petite chambre cozi, avec une télévision, climatisation, salle de bain et une terrasse vue sur le lac et la gare. Nous sommes à environ 10/15 min à pied du centre ville, super ! Nous pouvons laisser la voiture au parking, c’est super si vous n’avez pas besoin de la voiture pour le séjour Vu que l’on étais proche de la gare on entendait bien ce qu’il se passait dehors. nous n’avons pas eu de rideau dans la chambre, ou alors des stores pour la nuit, car la lumière extérieure était resté allumée toute la nuit… éventuellement bien également pour se changer
- xMoonlightx25 (6/5): - Pas d'option pour la chambre, par défaut vous êtes diriger dans un dortoir de 15-20 lits Le bruit
- Gebhard (10/5): - Top Lage, Tolles, tadelloses Zimmer. Frühstücksbuffet mit vielseitiger feiner Auswahl. Sehr nette und herzliche Angestellte. Hotel ist sehr zu empfehlen👍 nichts
- Stina (8/5): -
- Viviane (7/5): - Goede douche in basic kamer, fijne ligging dicht bij station De penetrante geur in de souterraine kamer. Raam maar wagenwijd opengehouden
- Emma (10/5): Generally good deal - Close to train station Too many beds
- ANDREA KURS (9/5): super pleasant - I loved the position, conveniently located near the station, the swimming pool, and facilities in general - breakfast at the Hotel was stunning and super tasty! Jenny at the reception was so kind, and she is a super dedicated staff member, ensuring you are supported and guided from the moment you step into the place - congratulations to this wonderful Hostel/hotel facility nothing to note ....

- Barbara (9/5): - Wir wurden im Partnerhotel Parkhotel Continental untergebracht, im Nebengebäude Beauregard. Wohl ein upgrading. Der Park ist toll, voller Palmen und blühenden Azaleen, mit Sitzecken und sogar Pool. Das hoteleigene Restaurant Grotto Ronco Banchi im Park ist sehr zu empfehlen, Essen ansprechend präsentiert, ruhig, gemütlich, fein gegessen. Tolle Lage hinter dem Bahnhof. Punkto Nachhaltigkeit könnte man noch etwas mehr machen (z. b. Verpackungen Frühstück, Duschmittel).
- Sultanov (8/5): -
- Sandra (10/5): Dort werden wir gerne wieder mal hingehen. - Die schönen Räume, der Park und die Lage.
- Azri (3/5): -
- Esther (8/5): - Super Pool mit vielen Liegestühlen in wunderschöner Anlage. Leider war das Wetter nicht passend, um diese zu geniessen. Sehr zentrale Lage direkt oberhalb des Bahnhofes.
- helene (1/5): Ich komme verarscht und werde dieses Hotel mit Sicherheit nicht mehr besuchen - Die Gartenanlage war wirklich schön Tatsächlich einiges. Wir haben ein Hotel gebucht und waren in irgendeiner Absteiger untergebracht. Die war nicht gut. Wir hatten dort Spinnen. Es war direkt am Bahnhof. Es war laut, man konnte die Fenster nicht ein Dunkeln. Das Essen im Hotel war wirklich katastrophal. Also mit gutem Geschmack hat es überhaupt nichts zu tun.

- Linda (8/5): Super für einen Wochenendtrip - Das Frühstücksbuffet und der Poolbereich war super. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Eine Glasschiebetür zum Bad ist ziemlich unnütz. Niemand will den anderen auf dem WC sitzen sehen.

- Bel (7/5): - Good location, 10min walk from train station. There’s only one sheet provided, not sure whether it should be on the bed or on the body, usually there should be two for both.

- claire (7/5): - - la situation - proche de la gare - très beau jardin et bâtiment dans un beau quartier résidentiel - grande salle commune pour manger et une cuisine pour se faire à manger - j aurai aimé qu il y ait une sdb pour femmes et une sdb pour hommes. Seulement 2 douches et 2 WC mixtes. Heureusement que l auberge était peu rempli - j’aurai aimé être prevenue que des travaux ont lieu au même niveau que les dortoirs le matin des 7h avec des bruits de perceuses par ex
- Jan (8/5): Kamer met zicht op het Meer van Lugano en de spoorlijn naar Italie - Het personeel was vriendelijk en professioneel, in- en uitchecken verliep vlot. De locatie vlakbij het station was voor mij als treinreiziger ideaal. Vanaf het balkon had ik, hoewel tussen twee gebouwen door, goed zicht op het meer van Lugano. Mijn kamer lag pal aan de rails: ik kon er zelfs van tijd van tijd een wissel horen omslaan. Voor wie niet tegen het geluid van passerende voorbijrijdende treinen kan, is deze kamer denk ik minder fijn. Het ontbijt en diner waren niet goedkoop, maar dit is wel Zwitserland.

- Metin (10/5): Absolutely loved my stay at Montarina Hostel. Will be back. - Sooo close to the station and town center and so peaceful and beautiful with all the palm trees. My room was very packed being so small and having 9 beds in it. Air got a bit stuffy at night.

- Frank (5/5): A very expensive shelter - Staff was very friendly, the outdoor area is very very nice 9 men packed in a room of approx 15qm. No space for luggage, towels or anything else. No window, just a door, disturbed aircon. Felt like a prisoners camp.
- Dimuro (10/5): Me encantó - La ubicación y lo completo Yo le agregaría así como la coberta para dormir también unas toallas

- Surupa (9/5): -
- Baptiste (7/5): - A 2mn à pied de la gare, lit confortable Le dortoir n'avait pas de rideaux pour s'isoler un minimum et les murs sont tellement fins qu'on entend les voisins parler à voix basse. La porte de la douche ne se fermait pas à clef
