A man punched me inside my room when he tried to sleep in the bed I was assigned to. I said I was calling the police and the Italian chased me down the hall pulling down his pants saying explicit words. The staff wouldn’t call the police and basically defended him and said we didn’t see it so nothing we can do. I asked them to watch the video of him pulling down his pants in the hall chasing me and they did they didn’t have time. Absolute disgrace and very u safe place. My bags were moved from next to the bed and also my charger in the bed had been removed. I’m not sure why the men thought he could sleep there but this man needs to be in jail and the hostel protected him. He made the whole room feel very unsafe.

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...

Best Hostel Ever

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!

Meet Hostel is clean, friendly and superb location

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.

Satisfactory

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.

New hotel and convenient to travelers.

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.

Abbiamo soggiornato in una camera da 6 privata. La stanza era molto spaziosa e il personale molto cordiale e disponibile. La pulizia della camera non era eccellente, ma comunque nella media. È un luogo ideale se si vuole soggiornare a Peschiera del Garda senza spendere troppo e soprattutto per i giovani è molto consigliato. In oltre, è poco distante dalla stazione e dalla fermata dei bus, quindi è molto comodo anche se si viaggia a piedi.

Really good Service and the rooms looked clean too. Some other guests were unlucky though and had bed bugs in their rooms. The WC in the room was clean, but the ones in the common areas weren't always. The included breakfast is OK.
There is also a Social Dinner, a small Bar and the location is perfect.

Personale molto gentile e disponibile.
Rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo.
Posizione ottima.
Colazione essenziale ma più che sufficiente se non si hanno troppe pretese.
Pulizia della camera ottima.
Non ci siamo trovati benissimo con i letti, probabilmente perché non c'è la rete, sono appoggiati su un pianale di legno.
Unica vera pecca la pulizia degli spazi comuni che però è diretta conseguenza della maleducazione degli ospiti, sopratutto la cucina in comune risente di questo problema, si dovrebbero etichettare le proprie cose, ma prima di lasciare la struttura per la fine del soggiorno si dovrebbe avere il buon senso di buttare via le proprie cose, se questo non viene fatto ci si ritrova con gli scaffali ed il frigo pieni di roba etichettata e mal conservata.

Une belle auberge de jeunesse où il y a vraiment tout ce dont on peut avoir besoin : laverie, cuisine... Les salles de bains privées dans chaque chambre est un gros + ainsi que le balcon. Grand hall d'accueil et patio extérieur. À moins de 5 minutes de la gare et 100 mètres du lac. Bon petit déjeuner buffet. Je recommande.

Meet Confusion at Garda Lake

Più che un ostello sembra un campeggio. All'apparenza sono estremamente scrupolosi: ti avvisano in tutti i modi che in stanza non puoi portare assolutamente nulla da mangiare (per quello c'è la cucina... che però è aperta solo di giorno). Ti fanno pagare il deposito sulla tessera magnetica, ti spiegano come devi disfare il letto a fine soggiorno... Tutto molto preciso? Macché. In realtà il posto si scopre presto molto confusionario, con scolaresche, ragazzini e comitive straniere libere di fare quello che vogliono, tra cui gridare giorno e notte e mettere i piedi sporchi sui divani (nessun divieto in merito). Specialmente a cena, l'atmosfera del posto sembra quella di una sagra di paese. Pochi bagni, lasciati più volte senza carta. Personale che lavora sotto stress. Colazione impresentabile, con soli prodotti confezionati del discount. Prezzo esagerato, oltre 50.000 lire del vecchio conio... In altri paesi ci paghi un 4 stelle con massaggi inclusi. No, non ci tornerò.

Colazione praticamente inesistente, il personale pero' e' molto gentile e simpatico.
Alle 18.30 ti offorno un aperitivo per stare tutti insieme idea carina.
Abbiamo soggiornato due notti al prima tutto tranquillo, la seconda notte siamo riusciti ad addormentarci alle 1.30 del mattino dato che facevano casino nella hall e nelle camere.
A mezzanotte e mezza qualche ragazzo ha fatto la doccia nei bagni comuni mettendo la musica del cellulare alta. Nonostante siano ben presenti e specificate le regole non sono state fatte rispettare e questo e' il maggior motivo della mia recenzione non ottima.Il posto comunque e' accogliente e delizioso.Le camere sono spaziose , letti comodi.Come Hostello e per un paio di notti va benissimo

To noisy: the quests are 80% children

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.
