L'Imbarcadero is very small hostel and close to Santa Lucia train station and Riva dei Biasio vaporetto stop; but it's not that easy to find them. I arrived to Venice around 10 pm and tried to find the hostel for about 45 minutes. Calle Zen is very small place; so many local people also don't know it. Though all Venice... More

It is very convenient location for transport facilities (buses, trains, vaporetto). And it is quiet place at the same time. The showers is not clean, but not so bad. Breakfast is normal. There are no conditioners, but there are fans which produce noise at night.

Venice is a tough place to find cheap and decent accommodation so this hostel was a nice find! Very very clean and the rooms had a lovely home feel, no bunk beds! Ibra at the front desk is great! Kept the hostel in good condition and was full of advice about where to go in Venice!

Wow is all I can say! I've been to many hostels and have never been treated as good as I was here. Ibra, the man who worked here during my time was more than amazing. The place was a quant, quiet little gem located close to all Venice's main attractions. At under 30 euro a night you will not find... More

I chose this place because of the lack of bunk beds in the dorms, but somehow missed other peoples warnings about bed bugs. I stayed there for three nights. The first night was fine, the second I had a couple of bites but wasn't sure if it was bed bugs or mosquitos etc. After the third night I was covered... More

Though I originally did reserve at l'Imbarcadero, through some confusion and runaround, got placed at Casa Nuova, a satellite apartment located around the corner and situated right on the Grand Canal. I also found myself upgraded to a double room with private bath, which was a nice surprise. I believe that the rooms at l'Imbarcadero itself are the dorms, which... More

I stayed at the hostel early this August. It was my very 1st hostel experience. The hostel had a good location, just a few steps away from the water bus station although I got lost when I first arrived because the "street" signs were way above plain view and the streets were narrow and dark. But that's Venice for you.... More

I had read quite a few reviews about the main hostel section of this establishment and knew to expect better as we had booked a private double ensuite. We stayed in a separate building, in an apartment. The stairway up to it was grubby and dusty and our immediate impression was oh dear but the apartment was nice and the... More

The hostel was difficult to find and especially for those with heavy luggage should not stay there as you have to cross some bridges from the bus and train stations. If you stay in front room then the internet connection was ok but very noisy and if stay at back room definitely no internet connection and the air is stuffy.... More
