It doesn't look like much and the lockout time is a bit annoying, but it really is worth it! Breakfast is included in the price (bread, coffee, juice, cereal) as is wifi in the garden and dining room. It it literally 2 mins around the corner from some of the most gorgeous buildings on Lake Como and the staff are... More

If you dou don't mind the male-female dorm seperation, this place is just perfect. The staff is nice, the rooms and showers are clean, and the breakfast is great, with full of aroma Italian coffee. We recommend it with all our hearts.

This is one of the best hostels that I stayed in during a recent trip to Italy - clean rooms with lots of air, lockers, garden, good showers, food on offer very good. Very friendly, trusting and patient staff with a wealth of info and tips. Seems to be a family-run hostel. 25 minutes walk from downtown Como, Lago di... More

This was our third visit and the first time we had stayed in the family room. Very quiet, clean, spacious, but what makes Villa Olmo Hostel so special is the incredibly lovely family running it. The husband is a terrific chef, his delightful wife (or another lady, possibly their daughter?) is the first point of contact for guests. They are... More

I have stayed at this place twice now, once in 1998 and once in 2009. Same owners. The lady that runs the place is very helpful and friendly. She has a wealth of info on touristy things to do. The rooms were clean. Off street parking is available fortunately. Nice place. Unfortunately had to sleep in the men's dorm and... More

The beds are in single-sex dorms, and my fellow travelers were very considerate while I stayed there. The hostel is located a pleasant walk to and from town, or the local bus stops right in front...

There are low dividing walls to make it feel more private. There are three showers and three toilets for the whole dorm. The male dorm... More

This is a small family run hostel, right beside Villa Olmo and about a 10-15 minute walk along the lakeside into town. The woman who seemed to be running the show was quite helpful and spoke english well. There is only one room for women, and one room for men. The rooms are set up nicely though with half walls...

I had a great few days in como exploring the sights due to the helpfulness from the staff at this hostel. They gave me advice on where to go, the discounts I could receive and what the weather was going to be like! They are a pleasant 20 min walk along the shore of the lake into the town of... More
