If you’re looking for a hostel type vibe with private rooms this is a really great option. Not a quiet place, hostel bar is open 24-7 so if it’s your vibe get after it. Not a huge fan of every amenity being an additional fee when on the booking site it’s written as if they are included. Just write ‘for a fee’ like the rest of the hotels in the area. Laundry 8 euros, bag storage 7 euros, etc.

Great for solo travellers
Great staff, and a clean place to stay. But more importantly, it gave the opportunity for people to meet each other in the gardens which is great for solo travellers

Great but a bit pricey
Great hostel if you’re ok with the price. Clean. Nice rooms. Nice kitchen. Grocery store literally next door. Lake and ferries a short walk away. City center and restaurants close by. Train is a short walk. Lots of people hang out there at night Including I think non hostel guests but it wasn’t too crazy. Just chill and a good vibe. It was expensive but thats the area.

It was okay, staff is okay and all but since there are more people in the room it's impossible to sleep well. Also they should put some grease on the door hinge, because they squeak allot

Such a great place to stay. Easy access to train and bus stations, walking distance from all the cool sites in Como. They were very welcoming. They provided breakfast in the morning and had a great kitchen to use the was stocked with pasta and vegetables. So great. They also had entertainment at the hostel each night so you can have fun with fellow travelers and locals. Great place to stay.

Awesome hostel
Ostello Bello is a fabulous hostel. It’s located an easy 10 minute walk from the Como San Giovani train station and about the same distance to town. The rooms have an ensuite and are well maintained. Breakfast and dinner are provided and there are kitchen facilities available. People gather in the courtyard to drink and share stories. It’s a wonderful atmosphere. All staff are very friendly and it’s great to see the people who stay here are all ages, even including families. There’s a well stocked supermarket conveniently located next door. I highly recommend Ostello Bello.

Great place in the center of Como ... easily accessible to all the scenic spots. Very popular courtyard Bar with the locals, so extremely lively at night. Very good value for money too and a friendly, cool staff make this the indisputable place to stay in Como for those on a Budget.

My favorite hostel ever!!! The staff was really nice and it's a two minute walk away from the lake. Even though I was on the top bunk it was easy to get into bed because of the design of the bunk stairs. I highly recommend this hostel!!

Overall everything was great! Far warning, if you are a tall person like me (almost 6 feet aka 2 meters) then sitting on the beds is a little uncomfortable because there just isn;t as much room between them as in normal bunk beds.

Strategic location and go beyond expectation
The hostel is strategically located 5 minutes walk from ferry port. You will not lose out, definitely get more than what you paid for. Free breakfast, dinner, welcome drink, songs dedication on arrival (don't even have this for 5 star hotel) etc etc. The reception is 24 hours and all 3 staffs I met are superb friendly! Will definitely choose this hostel and it's chain in future!

The best place in Como!
I stayed at the hostel for 4 nights. The staffs are extremely helpful and friendly. They provided many information for visiting Como and sorted out every problems during my stayed. Even more, the staff carried the luggage for me because the female dorm room is located on the second floor. It is fantastic that breakfast and dinner are included. Most important thing is checking out time is 11.30 am! Staying here means you can enjoy the time in lake Como for sure. The dorm room is new furbished and clean. Private bathroom is inside every room. The only problem is air conditioner haven't been ready yet. The location is perfect for travelers. You can reach lake, railway station, old town, cable car station by walking. Highly recommended for everyone!

Es un hostal que ofrece muchas facilidades a sus huéspedes, desde desayuno hasta una cocina bien equipada donde puedes prepararte algo con los ingredientes que ponen a tu disposición. Sin embargo, mi experiencia no fue la mejor en cuanto a la habitación. El colchón era muy incómodo, me tocó la cama de en medio de la litera y cuando la chica de arriba se movía, se movía todo; además de que no tenia cortina, por lo que si alguien encendía la luz, te deslumbraba; la calefacción estaba en el baño y no alcanzaba a calentar la habitación; cuando llegué ya había 2 chicas y el baño estaba sucio. Y para colmo, me robaron mi candado. En fin, no lo recomendaría para gente que le gusta tener cierta privacidad y comodidad.
