Capanna Cao is a wonderful little Hostel / Hotel on the cliffs of lake Como. The owner is a…read morefriendly guy who can cook a lovely stew, pasta or polenta. The reception annex bar, annex breakfast room has a terrace with a view on the Como lake / valley. The place is over a hundred years old and used to be the weekend getaway for the wealthy from Milan, Turin etc. Pro's: The price for a double room is sweet. The ambiance at first glance is great and authentic. The view is priceless. The folks are of the kindest you've ever seen. The food is good and the wine's great and not expensive. Con's: The ambiance can be turned up a notch by lighting some candles or the fireplace in the reception area. And please put on some Italian background music. The shared bathrooms and toilets upstairs are not in sync with the "authentic" part of the Hostel. They turn "authentic' into old and fairly crappish, The rooms are sober, but without the ambiance. Fix this, and you'll get 4 stars from me :-) And you can hear the neighbors breathe... which I find adding to the flavour, and my girlfriend doesn't. If you want a good place to stay after a whole day of mountain biking, climbing, hiking or you're looking for a original stopover around Como.. go here.

The pool was refreshing, clean and plenty of room even on a hot day. There's also a ping pong table on the lawn. The location is perfect, close to the train and the lake. But what amazed me the most was the wonderful service. They were so friendly and accommodating. I'd definitely stay here again.

Queen Hostel was a truly awesome experience. Why?…read more Fast and cheerful check in. Open large common spaces with table tennis, pool, a bar with good deal and activities every evening. One night I did the pasta cooking class. WiFi was strong and consistent (no need to chase down a WiFi cafe) Staff always there to help with local tips - food, going out, things to do, underground stuff. I really liked Lacerba a quirky local cocktail and aperitivo place about 5 minutes from the hostel. It is an easy 10 minute stroll to the inner old town with the Duomo di Milano (famous cathedral) You can hop on 3-4 different types of transport very close by and get anywhere in Milan quickly - so so convenient as Milan is much bigger than you may expect.

They hang…read moreout even when they're not working, people who stay there as guests stay longer so they can start working there, and you almost can't tell the difference between guests and staff because everyone is just getting to know each other, chatting, sharing favorite sights and activities in Milan, etc. It was a cheery, energetic environment when I arrived, and they give you a drink when you get there. It's definitely a party vibe, which I frankly HATE (peopling is exhausting), and I still had a great time, so I can't really give higher praise than that. And if you want to go to sleep, no worries--you won't hear a thing from your bedroom. They accommodated my celiac with some gluten-free items for breakfast! Huge plus. There's a very generously sized kitchen and standard-sized refrigerator if you want to do your own cooking or storing of food. Bathroom was clean, though I cannot understand why someone would put the shower nozzle facing opposite the door, so the second you turn it on you are already spraying water all over the floor of the bathroom.... Lots of outlets in rooms and common areas, hooray! Bring your own adaptor if you don't have European devices. But the bedroom outlets also have a second USB-only outlet, which is dope, because the other outlet near your bed has to be shared with your reading light and whatever other thing you're trying to plug in, so you can't charge two things at once unless you're fine doing it in the dark. My big complaint is laundry: you're not allowed to do your own even though there are multiple machines (and even though it would have been far more convenient for me to do laundry in the middle of the night instead of having to entrust my clothes to someone else), and 10 euro is waaaaaaay too much. My clothes were still damp when I got them back (I guess because I asked for them instead of waiting to just be handed them? But it had been like eight hours and I wanted to sleep and they had my pajamas? So....?), so I had to spread them all around my room and felt like a jerk to my roommates for doing so. I ended up with someone else's undies and lost some of my own, which sucks when you're traveling because that's not something you want to run low on, and it also sucks because I really liked that pair in particular and also because I'm not trying to spend unnecessary extra money on something like undies and also I don't like thinking about how SOME STRANGER HAS MY UNDERWEAR. *shudders* But still, I unreservedly recommend this place--just, if you're traveling to lots of places, do your laundry before and after your Milan stop.

Needless to say, I wasn't excited about the "famous" pizza when I first heard about it. But, the kids were hungry and we weren't about to head back up the hill to Mürren. I am glad we tried it: I think their pizza is good by at-home, large city standards and fantastic given the location! As far as food goes, I think the menu at the hostel is limited to pizza, but it is executed well and definitely worthwhile. In addition to the pizza, they have a small bar with two beers on tap: light and dark. While we were there, they were out of the dark, but their light was very drinkable and the local craft brews available in bottles are good as well. I had a hoppy amber that really hit the spot on our last evening in town. I think it was called "Two Jocks" As of this writing, you can get a cheese and tomato pizza for 16 CHF and can add up to 4 toppings for an additional 3 or so CHF. Even better, the pies are ready really quickly! I recommend using some of the chili oil on the tables if you want to spice things up a bit. Pizza and beer makes a great, no-brainer end of day meal after a long day of hiking around the area. They also have soft drinks and other harder stuff at the bar (Jack Daniel's, for instance). If you don't want to stay, you can order the pizza to go and eat it in your room. Just remember that pizzas are not typically served pre-cut in Europe, so you may need a knife if you're sharing :)

Only down side is there is one bathroom for everyone with 3 toilets and 3 showers. You also have to pay 1 frank to shower for 8 minutes of hot water because the hot water is limited up in the mountain! Lol. The views and location make up for everything! They have a free laundry room here as well and free billiards room. Also really good beer! 1/2 liter for $5 at the hostel bar. Cheaper than the brewery next door and it's the same beer.

This was the perfect and affordable location to enjoy Lauterbrunnen. The (dorm) price at 30 CHF is reasonable, but the dorm experience reminded me that it's also dependent on the guests, with etiquette and sleeping habits proving to be highly variable among the other guests. While that was a source of slight irritation to me, it also made me appreciate choosing the "upper" (loft-style) bunk in my room and focus on other aspects of the hostel's experience, including a wide-ranging worldly group of guests and the amusing reality of the longer you stay, the more senior you become, which was particularly apparent over the course of a weekend.
