It is a little bit of a hike to the hostel. Be prepared for that. But once you are there, you are well rewarded. It is beautiful! I felt very safe and I enjoyed the nature walk down to the town of Como every day.
The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and they will pick you up if you arrive back late as to not make you walk the hill.
Great food, atmosphere - I would definitely recommend this hostel.
