Guests can choose between a bed in a dormitory, a private room or an apartment. Communal areas include a kitchen, a lounge area, a terrace with canal views and a laundry area. There is also a conference room.

This really is a fantastic place to stay, one of those places that exceeded our expectations. The complex itself is really cool, including the courtyard, bar and breakfast areas. The room was very modern, clean, and well appointed. It's in a quiet part of Venice, with our room overlooking one of the canals. The overriding feel to this place is one where you can just relax and chill after sightseeing Venice. As a bonus, the breakfast was very good.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Really nice budget option. Super comfortable beds! A lot of young people. I have been there during low session, so hostel didn't offer any special food or events but I have seen that they have. In the area are many nice and cheap local restaurants!

    The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. The location is a bit out of the way, but easy enough to get to and much cheaper than staying on the main island. I felt safe in and around the hostel as a solo female traveller. The staff that checked me in were incredibly kind and helpful, although the staff on reception/bar the following morning were noticeably less so.

    Really great location right next to the water and 15mins walk from Piazzale Roma where the buses come. Host was very friendly and accommodating and gave great advice on where to eat, sights to see etc. The shared room was very comfortable and one of the best hostel stays in my experience. Also the sunsets on the harbourside directly outside the house were amazing each day.

    Ths location is amazing. There are tons of restaurants and bars around the hotel. Most major tourist sites are near. Personnel was polite. Staying in Venice isn't cheap so it's nice to have a budget option that's not a hostel. A cleaning lady came in every day and the room was cleaned well. The rooms are old but it's part of the charm.
