Surrounded by a lush garden, the Youth Hostel Locarno is 1.5 km away from the train station and the Lake Maggiore. The restaurant serves Swiss and Mediterranean cuisine and packed lunches can be provided. A children's play area with toys is available at the Youth Hostel. Table tennis can be played outdoors. The bright rooms have shared or private bathrooms and some have a work desk. Every year, various summer festivals are taking place in Locarno, most notably the Film Festival, which is held in August. The valleys in the Ticino Canton offer several hundreds kilometres of hiking paths and bungee jumping is offered as well. As of January 2017 guests will be able to use all public transport free of charge as well as being granted special rates for various leisure activities during their stay in the southern canton. You are given the “Ticino Ticket” upon arrival and it is valid until the end of your day of departure. For bookings of more than 10 persons, different policies and additional supplements may apply.

Standard Hotels offered through misterb&b

Because we foster the largest community of gay travelers, we need to ensure all are welcome anywhere they go. Of course you may search for a private room or a full apartment from our gay and gay-friendly hosts. But sometimes, you would rather search for a hotel in a particular location or with certain amenities.

To help in your search we have selected a few standard hotels that we believe are a good fit for LGBTQ+ travelers.

Why did we select these hotels?
Because of their location, services, amenities, rates, and overall good reputation, we believe these hotels can appeal to LGBTQ+ travelers. At this point though, we haven’t been able to vet their welcoming attitude and acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community.
We also help ensure hotels with a history of homophobic behavior, or whose owners are homophobic, are not listed on misterb&b.
