Ostello Montebello - Bellinzona Youth Hostel

Bellinzona

Set in the historical city centre of Bellinzona, Youth Hostel Bellinzona is just 500 metres from The Three Castles of Bellinzona, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The hostel serves a buffet breakfast.

Each room at Youth Hostel Bellinzona has a sink and access to shared bathroom facilities. Lockers can be organised and there are shared laundry facilities. it was a renewed boarding school, so it had some history and grandness. The room was really nice but I bet it becomes hotter with summer approaching. It was already next to the walls of the castle, so it was in a good position if you are planning to hike all the castles. The breakfast was amazing. Also, had to arrive later than checkin time, but the owner waited for me, which was very generous of him. also, super friendly!
