Given that it was one of the most expensive hostels we stayed in while travelling around Europe, and that it was across a waterway requiring us to buy a water bus pass to actually get to the hostel; the inside was a big let down. The rooms were functional, but nothing better than that; the large dorms were noisy and... More

I can deal with a scruffy dorm with lots of beds, at the end of the day your hear to see the city, not the hostel. The location looks amazing from the photos, but it's essentially on the wrong island from the rest of Venice, you can't go anywhere without a boat (there are no bridges to the central section)...

I must say I was slightly sceptical to book this hostel after reading mixed reviews online. However looking at the rates and locations of other hostels I decided to take the plunge and I am so glad I did. First of all, its important to consider that Venice is insanely expensive. Its just too touristy and everyone here seems to... More

I agree with most people that the location of this hostel is great - two minutes on the water bus will take you to S. Marco square. It has nice view of the islands opposite, even though you need to take a water bus to get to and from anywhere. A single water bus fare costs 7Euros at the moment,... More

I open my doors in June to the great and the good, so make sure you navigate your way here soon my little friend. I’m about to show hostels in Venice what a Renaissance really is. See you on my little Island of Giudecca, close enough to see it all happen, far enough to avoid the crowds. Just the way I like it.
