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!

    Simple, functional rooms. In my case with a nice view. Imposing building. Old school youth hostel. I heard the trains, but I do not bother, yet even like it. Besides that, it was absolutely quiet.

    Youth Hostel is located in part of a very old but stately school building, which does make for a unique place to stay overnight.

    Great location, affordable, and a good value for the price. We stayed there for a weekend and the place really met our needs. We were also able to store our bags and work from the hostel common spaces after we checked out on Monday, which was very much appreciated. I would definitely recommend it and stay there again myself.
