Ostello Verbania

The property is really beautiful and is very well located. The surrounding are amazing. The beds were also comfortable and the rooms looked clean although simple.

The bathrooms were the only very disappointing point on the property. None of the shower doors closed, although it served both an only girls and mixed bedrooms. And there was no place to get changed inside. The water was also too hot to take a shower and it wasn’t possible to regulate the temperature. Apart from that, some places in the room had to share 2 outlets for 4 beds which wasn’t enough, and the ones to arrive later didn’t have were to charge their electronics.

good location, short walk from ferry terminal. Delicious breakfast. high ceilings, big windows, clean bathrooms, nice outdoor courtyard, nice view.

my only suggestion is more power outlets near each bed. I suggest a power strip or two for charging phones and devices. I had to unplug the desk light to charge the phone.

Hostel situated in a historic villa up the hillside. Great lake view from the balconies, and only 5mins by foot from the lakeshore and old town. Limited parking available. Great breakfast in the basement lounge. Clean bathrooms and showers.

The only drawback - but a MAJOR one - is that the bunk beds are a cheap metal construction which shakes at the slightest motion of a person in either upper or lower bed. Which means, unless you are lucky and have the bunk to yourself, you will not sleep a lot. This is a pity, with better bunk beds this would easily become the best hostel in a 100km radius.
