This place offers dormitory style rooms with shared bathrooms at a very affordable price. My private room was small with a twin-sized bed and a sink. There was no AC but they provided a fan. The staff was very friendly and helpful and will hold your luggage after checkout. This place is very accessible and only 10 min walk away from train station. Downside was that the office closes and they lock up around midnight, so you need to check-in or get back by that time. I had a late train and luckily I communicated with them and got checked in just in time. Bathroom didn't have a lock and no bath soap/shampoo. Overall, an excellent place for solo travelers on a budget! Not super comfortable or luxurious.

I have limited qualms with the locations or venue itself, but the idea that we cannot return post-0030, pre-0700 each night is absolutely absurd. Put a code on the door. With all of the shows and opportunities Venice presents, requiring people to come back to their apartment at some time is archaic. The sun doesn’t set until 10PM in the summer.

Really nice place, super close to the bus station which was helpful. Check-in was very easy, elevator was broken when I was there but normally there is one. Terrace was the best part, though, nice view over Venice, great place to have breakfast, a little cooler than the rooms which were fine but didn't have AC. Would definitely stay again!

Noise from the road.
Big windows are great but due to the noise from vehicles passing by below and the road being copperstones, it was very nosiy hence my roommates closed the windows and it can be bad as there are 6 of us in the room ! Location is good.

It was the cheapest hotel I found in Venice. They lock the doors from midnight to 7:00 am. Our flight got delayed and we arrived at the airport after midnight, we called and the receptionist said she wouldn’t open the door until 7:00 am so we had to sleep at the airport because all the hotels were sold out For 2 days it was ok but more than that it would be bad. The location is good , close to the station and walking distance to attractions. There is no ac so it was uncomfortable to sleep and the beds were not good.

The hostel is located in the central, walking distance to all the tourist attractions. The room was clean, big enough and the bed was comfortable. It was quite hot in the room but they had a fan so it was all good. The bathrooms are quite old and definitely need some renovation but they were clean. If you have big luggages like I did and coming from the train station, go across Constitution Bridge, at least the steps are not as high as the Scalzi Bridge IMO

Comfortable hotel in a nice area
The hotel is a 20 mins walk away from St Marks Square, and is close to restaurants, cafes and a pharmacy. It is in a relatively quiet area so the noise level from outside is low at night. However, they have an old school elevator so the noise from the banging of the elevator doors is very loud, which made it difficult for me to sleep at night. They have a fan in each room so heat isn’t an issue at night. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The bathrooms were kept in good, clean conditions

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The front desk staff was very friendly and allowed me to check in early after I had been traveling overnight by bus and arrived before the check in time. Property is old, but the elevator did work, which was a huge bonus. No Air conditioning, but they did provide a fan in the room. Noisy outside, but that is to be expected when you pick a place that is right in the heart of the city. Two very good cafe's right outside the door that had excellent breakfast lunch and dinner and were much cheaper than places on the main square. Also has a nice kitchen area that does have A/C, so you can sit and cool off and charge up your electronic devices. I would bring bug spray though, as the mosquitoes were really bad, and I needed to keep my window open for air flow.

Clean, budget accommodation with budget amenities
Easy check-in and out. You will either be locked in or out at 0030 until opening again at 0700! Room was clean, as were shared facilities (kitchen, bathroom and shower). No air conditioning (seems to be average for Venice) or fan, but the balcony opened up for a breeze. At times it was a little noisy, but I would not hesitate to stay again if on a budget!!

Great friendly place
It is a simple hostel, but it is managed very well. There is everything you need for a basic stay and everything is in a good condition. I think our triple room was charming, old, but charming in an old European sence. We enjoyed the terrace, we used the kitchen for quick lunch and dinner, which was very convenient for us. The carfew wasn't a problem for us, but I can see how some people would like to be out after midnight. Location is convenient, beats staying off the island.

DO NOT COME HERE! We almost moved hotels.
I had booked a room for $50 2 nights before. Lovely place with a courtyard, breakfast, clean bed. The hotel got fully booked so we had no choice but to stay here. At $70 you would think it was decent but OMG was it the most disgusting place we stayed in. Everything was DIRTY, old and dusty. There's a curfew at midnight to 7am in which time you are not allowed to exit or enter the building. We arrived to dirty beds and apparently there were fresh sheets on top of a dirty bed. We had to make it ourselves. The bed I got wa sweaty, moist and filled with snall hairs. There was only one extra socket in the room and one light bulb. Extremely hot during the night and only 2 bathrooms to share amongst 10 (?) rooms. Most horrible stay of my life. Do not come here. This place is scamming people. I cannot understand how it gets its decent ratings. Perhaps the people who stay here think they are getting a deal but there are so many other hotels for the same price (if you book early) for even less the price.
