House rules

Together, in harmony

Merano Youth Hostel welcomes people from all walks of life, each with their own personal habits and preferences. We set a lot of store by creating a space where all our guests can feel at home and enjoy their stay. That’s what our house rules are for: to make it easier to share spaces in a relaxed, respectful way.

We wish you all a pleasant stay!
