The room and bathroom were not an issue—everything was clean. The area was also fine, lots of dining options around and easy transportation into Venice proper. The building however, was creepy. You have to walk up like four flights of stairs in nearly complete darkness before reaching the lobby area. At night the hallway is so eerie, and there were mysterious noises coming from one of the rooms all night. It sounded like someone was assembling furniture, but the door of that room wasn't completely closed, which only added to the weirdness. There's a motion activated light that comes on in the hallway but it activates at random even when no one seems to be there. Overall, I can't complain because we didn't pay very much and the spaces were clean. But we had friends who stayed at a hostel nearby for the same price and their rooms had ensuites and all the finishes and furnishings were modern. At least this place was right by the bus stop.
