Very stylish and silent place. I heard the river flowing at night, which made it like a little fairytale... 💫

The location was okay, not far from a major parking lot and city center. The property is dog-friendly - they gave us a welcoming pack for our furry member of the family. That was nice.

Bellinzona is the quiet enjoyable city of the canton of Ticino. It is a lovely little town (in fact the capital of Ticino) but it is away from the touristic towns such as Lugano, Locarno and Ascona (and therefore the prices) but close enough to travel to be able to spend time in those places as well, yet to return to base in the evening.

Walking to the castle’s was great.
Walking to the castle’s was great. I also did the train in another occasion. Shopping especially on Saturday at the market is great. Unfortunately when I returned after 3 weeks everything was closed on Sunday and Monday (a catholic holiday!)
I liked Federale Croce for their great pizza’s and friendly staff

Bellinzona is located very centrally in Ticino in terms of public transport connaction to other places. We stayed there for 4 days in order to check different places in the region. But I would recommend to go for at least 5 days. Bellinzona itself is worth spending one day just walking through all the three castles. And then there are a lot of magnificent places around like Lugano and the mountains around, Verzasca, Ascona, Locarno etc.. Also there is a Tibetan bridge in Bellinzona which you have to make a small hike for and it's really worth it!

Laid back, welcoming town, surrounded by glorious mountains.
Laid back, welcoming town, surrounded by glorious mountains. Plenty of places to eat from expensive to moderate to cheap. Walking is easy and there are buses and taxis if you wish to go further afield. The Benedictine convent up the hill is well worth a visit together with the castle in the centre of town. After 9.00p.m. on a Friday night, all is quiet - everyone tucked up in bed?

Small, rather quiet town with a nice historical center and three UNESCO-listed castles. Not too touristy. Very convenient for train trips around all Ticino canton or even to Como or Milan region.
Got a Ticino Ticket at the hostel reception which allows you to use public transport in Ticino for free (except for boats).
The room was clean and comfortable with a modern bathroom. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and spoke English. We really enjoyed using the hotel's rental bikes - they are 'one size fits all' but good enough to get to Locarno. It looked like guests could also store their own bikes in the cycle room. The location is fine if you want to be in Giubiasco - it's about 3km from Bellinzona centre. Great breakfast - buffet with lots of choice.
Nataliya, the host, is incredibly warm and welcoming. The apartment is spacious, well equipped, spotlessly clean and brightly lit, which most holiday apartments are not. It is very comfortable and tastefully decorated. And we found everything in the kitchen that we needed.
We will definitely go back again, if we need accommodation in Switzerland.
Thank you for your hospitality, Nataliya!
This place is a SCAM! Thy took our money and never answer the phone when we arrived at 5:10 pm.
We called them to 2 different phone numbers about 10 times! We were standing under the rain… and had to take another hotel… thy took 300 Euros from us! They probably do this to everybody!!! A shame! They should close this place!!
It is difficult to compare this YH with others I have stayed in Switzerland ( eg Zermatt and St Moritz) I feel it could benefit from some tasteful modernisation but I appreciate that because of its age and heritage this would not be easy. I like it’s character which you often lose in the more purpose built modern hostels.
It's been a great trip to Ticino. The property is in the very center of Bellinzona, right next to two castles, close to the railway station. It is very spacious and has everything one may need, including a fully equipped kitchen, WiFi and shelves full of books. The host Matteo is very kind and forthcoming.
Great location for the road network but not much to see or do within walking distance, great secure car parking underground. The restaurant attached to the hotel was really good and it’s a shame you can’t get to find out more about it via the hotel website.
It was so lovely and big and the view from the skylights was amazing!!! Right on the main street of Bellinzona - so easy to walk from the station to the apartment and just a really great place to stay. Excellent communication with the owners as well.
Its location is in center of town. train station is 5 min walk. Room for a single person was spacious. Bed was comfortable. Room was clean. There is a restaurant in the hotel. Staff was super friendly. Breakfast was included in the room rate.
Very clean, nice room and hotel. The location was great and easy access to the transport. The staff was friendly and provided a lot of help on how I can get to Bellizona and castle visits. The breakfast was excellent too.
From our Balcony we can see Sasso Corbano & Motenello, and the big Sunday Parade for Rabadan Carnival also very good.
The very big Wellness with the Sauna for every Hotel guests.
The breakfast were amazing.
Thanks for our kindly host Matteo. He showed us this beautiful town, and introduced the significant Tre castelli di Bellinzona. The house is warmth cozy sweet. We are highly recommend!!
We enjoyed our stay at the Locanda Marco Hotel a lot. The room was very clean and comfortable with air conditioning and a nice bathroom. Very lovely and helpful staff.
