Meet Gardalake Hostel

Showed up an hour early and sat in the lobby. At three I asked the girl at the front desk if I could check in and she said the floor of my room was still drying. An hour and a half later I had to ask another worker if I could check in and the room he put me in had a bunch of people already in there, so I don't know what was with that lie about the floor drying...

This place is beautiful. It is easy to get to and very close to Gardaland. The family room is enormous, they even have game areas for kids of all ages. The kitchen is pretty well equipped, and the breakfast isn't bad. I've been to hostels before - this one is a winner. Oh, and I didn't even mention the beautiful rooftop and the wonderful staff!

Having stayed in many Hostels around the world over the past 30 years, I can honestly say that Meet Hostel has been my favourite. I've made some notes below Pro's: Relaxed and friendly atmosphere Rooms and communal areas extremely clean throughout (except kitchen) Great aircon Superb location Self service breakfast is included and available for 3 hours Kitchen for guests to store food and cook if required Lockers in dorms and in corridors for luggage storage Multi lingual and very helpful staff, very knowledgable about local area Roof terrace and outside space for guest use, and space to store bikes Con's: Not ideal when travelling as a single parent, has only 2 rooms with 2 beds in so only alternative is the 8 bed female dorm (you have to pay extra if female). When we checked in they said dorms were only for adults, so although I'd already paid, they were going to turn away my 12 year old. The manager said it would be OK this time, but I would be hesitant to book again in case it was a different manager on duty. Warm breakfast is poor, only a scrambled egg and hot dog - previous stays here included pastries. Kitchen gets crowded and there was no hot water for washing pots or tea towel for drying them Having said all that, we do love Meet Hostel and have met some fabulous people when staying there.

Good location, near to the trainstation. Breakfast was good.

I stayed already in many Hostels and I have seen better ones.... You'll get a little booklet when you arrive, which is quite nice, but the city map could be more detailed. Staff is between really friendly and loves being a host, and a bit annoyed from time to time.... There are definitly to many children in this. Big groups and the most of them are noisy and slamming the doors.... The kitchen isn't good equipped: no chopping board, no mixer, the kettle was broken...and to less cutlery. Especially when you love it to cook by yourself, it's def. improvable. The roof top is great and my room in the 2nd floor had a great view too. The beach is a 15 min walk away, that means the beach to swim. All together okay, but would decide for something different next time.

We really enjoyed our stay at Meet, mostly thanks to the friendliness by the personel, but also due to the fact that they served two "free" meals a day. In this way it became easy to get to know other people and that made the stay very nice

Pros: spacious, clean room with aircon and balcony, good bathroom, good location, 24 hour reception. Con: bed rather uncomfortable, very loud doors, towels cost extra, no locked room for luggage, breakfast is very basic, hostel initially insisted they hadn't been paid in advance when they had.

Perfect. Definitively worth it.

Our stay was excellent. Four ladies over 50 all had brilliant time. Very near train and bus station, very near the old town, no problems whatsoever. Thank you so much for making it special

We had a very comfortable stay at the hotel. Since it's summer, a working air conditioning system was a plus factor. The room was very clean and the water supply sufficient. Staff were very nice. But breakfast was very minimal, just 1 juice or coffee and 1 croissant. Walking distance to and from the train station and bus stop to Gardaland. Near enough if you want to take a stroll beside the waters/lake or in the quaint town square. Very safe and quiet for short stay travelers.
