From the Saronno train station (see map below, 5 minutes walk):
Take the back exit of the underpass (close to track 6) and turn slightly left across the parking lot in via Luini. At the end of the short street, turn right in the new street with small trees: via Ferrari. After 200m, turn left in via Legnanino, then at the roundabout go straight in via Giuliani for 250m. At the Y junction (next roundabout), walk left in via Sampietro, and after 100m on the left there is an entrance, without gate, where you can see the hostel: a new red building.
