Service was great and I felt safe staying there. The only thing is the closeness to a noisy bar which interfered with my sleep.

Wifi did not work in the room. This was quite disappointing. Staff were friendly when we saw them. Directions or a clear map to the property need to be given. We had a very difficult time finding the place. Good location. Nice little piazza (square) just outside.

My experiences in the hostel

Well...my friend got bed bug bites after the night we stayed. It was defiantly not a mosquito bite at all. He realized he was really itchy and painful in the morning and the area he got bite became swelling. However, when we reported this situation to the hostel. They said there is nothing they can do and still insist it was because we've opened the window. We never opened the window! As you can see from the photos, it must be something wrong with the bed. We are very disappointed and asked if we will receive a follow-up email from management. The staff said he will tell his boss and that's it. Otherwise, we can write a review to them. I felt sorry for my friend and he can't even enjoy his holiday in Venice because of all the inconvenience caused.

The location is right next to the party area for the local college kids so it get very loud until about 3am. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay here.

I didn't have high expectations for a hostel in this price range, and the location is perfect. But it had bedbugs. I felt bites the first night and saw three little critters fleeing up the wall in the morning. I'm confident they're bedbugs because, well I saw them and unfortunately they're not unfamiliar to me, and all the bites are in neat little rows in the classic bedbug style. I told the manager, and they cleaned and moved me to another bed, which was better. (Yup, I stayed another night; I am that cheap). So, bedbugs. Plus I might have scabies, my doctor isn't sure. The last note is there's only one bathroom per floor so you're sharing with about 10 people. There's no common area or kitchen. Also, the description said they had breakfast but they don't. In sum: good location, very sketchy place. Hope this helps!

Party center and very convenient

Nice area with a lot of colorful characters at night, easily accessible to all Venice attractions. The place was clean but had some problems with bed bugs. I was a bit itchy. Luckily, everyone in our room made fast friends and partied most of the night so we beat the bed bugs. Go hear if you're young, traveling solo or with a friend, and ready to turn up and have fun. If you need sleep, spend an extra 20€ and get a private room.

DO NOT STAY HERE. Rather hard to find and once there the facilities were well below expectations, and staff could not care less. Beds were awful, floorboards looked damaged/broken. Noisy party in the next room kept us up all night.

Overall it was good

Overall it was good ( bed, location, staff ) little beds and busy bathroom In the morning but that just normal. The hostel facilities are fare for the price. The only thing I would suggest is that the hostel needs signals or to put the name of the place easier so you can find it. It's very difficult to find the place even more if you are traveling during the night. You won't be able to find it.

Great location, poor locale.

The hostel advertised a 4-bed room when in fact it contained 5 beds very tightly spaced. One of the two roons was particularly noisy all night from street and bar traffic. There was no heating at any time throughout the night and so the room was dank and cold. The bed I slept on was very creaky and woke me up whenever I turned around throughout the night. Also, although we got a key to both the room and the apartment doors, the owner kept unlocking the room door throughout the night, perhaps checking in on the hostel guests. The door to the apartment was kept purposefully unlocked throughout the night. I did not feel quite safe with keeping both doors unlocked. A bath mat would have been appreciated as the bathroom tile floors were very slippery when coming out of the shower. There was no veritable public space to speak of in the hostel, and the location was very difficult to find with only a barely legible small copper plate on the building door indicating the name of the hostel.

This is not a hotel, it is barely a hostel. It's half a converted house. Walked round for ages trying to find it because the only sign is a tiny brass plaque on the door. Room was ok. NO HOT WATER. Terrible wifi. Window looked at a wall about 1m away. Would not recommend.

Недорогой хостел недалеко от достопримечательносте

Оставалась на две ночи в хостеле, при заезде взяли городской налог 5евро. Полотенце выдали свежее, постельное белье чистое. Бронировала mix комнату, но повезло - все три соседки оказались девочками. Расположение отеля в центре, от автостанции минут 15-20 хоть бы, от основных достопримечательностей - минут 15 пешком. Навигатор не показал точное расположение отеля, поэтому смотрите в описании отеля, как его найти. Слышимость хорошая в хостеле, что чаще всего и бывает. В ванной комнате душевая кабина небольшая, полному человеку будет тесновато. Туалет совмещён с ванной, что не совсем удобно. В целом хостелом довольна за свои небольшие деньги.

Minding that I took a room shared with other 2-3 peoples the place is very clean and organized, quiet, and if you are ooking for a cheap accomodation, in Venice itself and don't mind sharing room with others (as I discovered I do, if they are not of my same gender, and that was extremely embarassing for me) that's THE place.

Bien.

Pasamos una noche en el hostel y todo funcionó bien. El personal del hostel nos permitió guardar las valijas hasta la tarde el día siguiente. El servicio corresponde al precio que pagamos, la ubicación del hostel es comoda, las camas también. Ubicado en una plaza en la que habían muchos bares y restaurantes. Sigo escribiendo porque sino no puedo publicar lo que opino del hostel porque el sitio exige una cantidad mínima de palabras exorbitante, si no me habilitan el mensaje pronto no pienso publicarlo. Si sigo escribiendo es porque estoy aburrido, parece una tomada de pelo... No puede ser, que quieren? Un testamento? "Please add a bit more ti tour review" dale pelitudo ya escribí una banda... Queres que cuente hasta como me limpie el orto en el hostel? Dejame publicar el menaje que llevo escribiendo hace media hora, encima el celular pedorro que tengo es horrible para escribir.

Sehr zentrale Lage

Das Hostel liegt sehr zentral mitten in Venedig. Der Eingang ist sehr unscheinbar und daher beim ersten Mal etwas schwer zu finden. Die Zimmer sind sauber, aber recht klein. Dies war das erste Hostel in dem mein Bett täglich gemacht wurde! Es ist ideal geeignet für Leute, die lediglich eine Schlafmöglickeit brauchen und nicht den großen Komfort suchen.

Wochenendaufenthalt

Es war nur ein Kurzbesuch und ich brauchte nur für eine Nacht ein Quartier. Aber EIN Badezimmer, in dem sich auch die Toilette befindet, ist zu wenig für alle Zimmer und das hat die Qualität des Aufenthalts schon eingeschränkt und weder meinen Erwartungen (auch die Fotos auf der Website) noch dem Preis entsprochen.
