I liked the location of the hostel. It was not on the main island, but not far from it either. I checked in at 1am - quite easily reaching the island on #2 at that time and had the help of the guy at the reception. The paid breakfast was of good quality. They also have a water filter I wish I’d known on day one.

The automatic lights in the toilet which switch off when you’re the only one in the toilet and taking a shower in the cubicle. You must step out of the cubicle to get it switched on again. I also wish they had hooks in the cubicle to hand towels and clothes. They could also attach some curtains to beds to provide more privacy when asleep.

I got an female dorm with private bathroom, and the bathroom and room itself was fantastic, with a window with a view straight out on to the water. The place itself is also pretty good in terms of boat transport, in that two piers are nearby and the boats come regularly. Plus the views in general are good, you just leave the building and it's water right there immediately, very nice to stare out at. The hostel itself has plenty of nice seating and indoor lounging areas.

To note that this is on a (fairly empty) island, and so if you don't have a day/all transport ticket (which costs 50-something euros for three days), you're going to be spending around 20e a day just for the trip out to the main Venice area and the trip back, as the boats to get here have a flat 9.5e rate per trip no matter how far/near your destination. If you've a lot of luggage, to note the lift only goes up two floors and you will need to carry it up the stairs past that.

Let me start by location. I rated it as a good one because it wasn't looking for first hand access to the main attractions of Venice. Actually it was the opposite, I enjoyed the peacefulness of the island (Giudecca), and also the beautiful views of the city. Also the hostel is facing the lagoon and you can take a seat at the hostel terrace and enjoy the views of Venice. You need to take the vaporetto anytime you want to move away from the island but this wasn't an inconvenience for me. For those that demand quick access to the busy and crowded city centre, maybe this is not the place to stay. The room was a big one for 15 or so people, in a bunks room. Space was a bit tight but the bed was better than I expected. Underneath the low bed there are two boxes lockers, one of each bunk bed, without a key. Bring your own one. The space to manage with this drawer isn't great. As I was saying, the space around the bunk was tight and there wasn't any hook to hang the towel, This annoyed me. Cleaning was okay and bed comfy considering that you are sleeping in a bunk bed. Socket and bed light for each bunk Ground floor and reception area is quite nicely decorated, with different options to take a seat, have a drink and so on. There is a kitchen service and you can order dinner for instance, Local supermarket is about 5' walk if you want fresh food, ready to eat, fruit, etc,. There are no kitchen facilities in the hostel where you prepare your meals. There are a few restaurants close to the hostel in case you are looking alternative options. Nice terrace facing the lagoon,this is great.

Bathroom facilities are basically not enough for all the guests. Each room has allocated a bathroom, one for each gender. Basically this is not enough for all guests. Male bathroom has two showers, two toilets, and one basin. This is absolutely not enough and what this intense use makes is that the cleaning is quite difficult to maintain unless twice cleaning services is provided. There are toilet facilities, free access, on the ground floor so in some way you are safe in case you are in an emergency situation when you need a toilet toilet

Lovely room, absolutely LOVE the lounge area, good vibes, great furniture, lots of things to eat. Many affordable eats nearby too on Giudecca. If the water bus is running, it would be really near to San Marco or to the Venice Biennale area. Gorgeous views too!

The hostel is on an island OFF of the mainland where the only way to get there is boat. Only book if you're planning to get a water bus pass. There was also a strike on one of the days I was there, making it really hard to get on the mainland due to no public transport services - some had to pay 50 euros for a water taxi off the island!

The room was adequate, the atmosphere and cosiness of the lounge, the staff were exceptionally informative and friendly.

The temperature of the room and the lounge was a tad excessive - it was very, very warm. I'm sure that would please most people but it was too much for me!

It’s probably the most beautiful hostel I’ve ever stayed, the building is beautiful. The view is nice.

Well the room was pretty dark, and I didn’t really know you HAVE to get the boat to go to the hostel/city. There is no other way 😂 so you’ll spend some money with transportation. And I mean 5 euros to rent a towel? 😂

I think the hostel had been recently renovated and looked clean and modern. We picked it because it was one of the few ones that was affordable, accessible and had a private bathroom. The room was reasonably spacious, although the beds' positioning meant we hit our feet on the bed legs quite a few times. The location was excellent, as although not very central, it was very close to 2 vaporetto stops. There were also a few shops nearby and an excellent small pizza place, all within easy walking distance. Staff were excellent, very friendly and accommodating.

The walls were fairly thin between rooms, so on the first night we could hear our next door neighbours until quite late (luckily I packed earplugs as I'm a light sleeper). Also the walls had a window at the top for some reason, which would still afford you privacy, but that meant that when the next door neighbours kept their light on we were able to see it. Also with it being a hostel, each bed had its own little light around the headboard and the switch was placed so poorly that each night I'd turn it on a few times while turning in bed. Another thing I found weird is that you had to "hire" towels at reception for Eur5.

The accommodation itself is beautiful, elegant, and very well designed – it’s truly a pleasure to stay here. However, contrary to what was described, the walls are not soundproof at all. This became quite apparent as there was a large school group staying in the next rooms, and they were incredibly loud, completely ignoring any rules. The noise level was so high, it felt like being in a stadium, which was extremely disturbing. Even normal conversations could be heard through the walls, let alone the uncontrollable shouting. While I understand the problem is not the hostels fault I do believe they should avoid hosting such large school groups, as they clearly disrupt the experience for other guests. Another downside was the fact that luggage storage, unlike at other accommodations, was not free here. It was quite expensive, especially considering that I was already staying at the property. It would have been nice if they provided guests the option to store their luggage before check-in and after check-out without an additional charge. It left me with the impression that, although the property offers many services, most of them come with an extra fee.

Object is nice,interesting, clean. Beds are clean, guests were also all keeping the house order. It is very nice atmosphere there.

Location - it is not hard to get to it,but the problem is expencive public transport in Venice. One way ticket for a few minutes for waterbus is 9.50 euros. Youth have some discount according to the accomodation in hostel,but we older than 30,don't. So the last price of f.e. one night is much higher at the end. Also,no common kitchen. There is a nice bar with drinks and foods and prices are normal,any way,if you don't pay,you can not make a breakfast or coffe by your self.

Fabulous, peaceful location; cosy room, great social area with big tv screen, pool table, nice cafe with good prices. Quite a few rules/observations seemed to ensure guests were respectful. Staff, especially Alberto, were quite 'no nonsense' but helpful and kind. The bathrooms seemed very clean, and all areas were well looked after.

The room light by my bed was weak and then not working. The room was a little bit warmer than I would have liked. Traveling back and forth is expensive as this is across the water from SanMarco—ideal if you get a travel pass, but it could be expensive if not.
