Nothing

Straightforward youth hostel room with shared bathrooms. All very clean and as one would expect. Great breakfast in the morning and very close to the railway station. We were able to store our luggage free of charge on the day we left in a locker.

For a youth hostel in the youth off season, I thought it was expensive. We marked that up to being in Switzerland.

What we like the most, the gracious and friendly concierge who shared her knowledge of Pontracina with us in the most engaging manner. Also exceptional was its location next to the superlative Italian restaurant in the station Hotel, Ricardo's, where are the salads, pasta, and service, by Roberto, were exceptional, one of the best restaurant experiences we have had in Switzerland. My room was large, having four beds for just the Two of Us, and it had a sink. Not to be dismissed, the hostel was right next to the train station that facilitated our day trip to the very foggy turquoise-lake Bernina pass. We greatly enjoyed the cogwheel train trip to Murottas Muragel.

The pricing is more of a Swiss culture pricing issue. Low for Swiss standards but still not low enough for me. There was a large booking with children and that wasn't as pleasant during breakfast. It would have been better when I extended in person my stay the first time, to give me the same rate as I found on booking. So when I extended the second time, I I had to go via the app.

The reception staff is incredibly friendly and very helpful. Always a smile and the answered all my inquiries with care plus willing to go the extra way.

The level of comfort is as you would expect in a youth hostel, but if that's what you're looking for, then it's ideal

Very friendly hosts, convenient for cross country skiing

Would be nice to be able to make a cup of tea. Also, there was a male guest in our room. Have you stopped with female only rooms?

It's great also in summer! I have been here several times in winter before.

Only one shower for the floor with at least 6 dorms rooms seems crazy. Small room for 3 bunks, felt crowded with luggage.

Very convenient to train station and a small walk to village. Bed comfy but I wish they were assigned to you, might help stop randoms getting in the wrong one in the middle of the night.

Few bathrooms per floor and quite small rooms: we were 3 people in quadruple room and it was already a crowd. Not a big disadvantage, just to mention, it is 10-15min walk uphill from the main village street with shops and restaurants.

The location is quite handy if you plan to explore the area by train, especially that one gets the free travel card: it's just opposite the train station. The stuff is very friendly and helpful, the food is very good (and pretty cheap - dinner option is really worth it), and sitting outside is very nice.

Inflexibility

Didn’t have the opportunity to visit. Weather forced flight cancellations and we didn’t arrive in time. Hostel wouldn’t refund, so we kept the room reservation.

Not a lot, the 6 bed dorms are mixed- just to be aware as this wasn't totally clear to me when i booked

Breakfast was yummy, food was reasonably priced for lunch and dinner. We had friends come from other hotels who ate with us.

Staff are very friendly and helpful and truly make you feel welcome. Breakfast and dinner were of good quality There are lockers to store your luggage on the day of arrival and departure, so you can use these days for a nice outdoor activity as well. The Location is excellent, just across the railway station and the perfect starting point for a hike or bicycle ride.
