Reviews
The location is great. The bed was clean and was spacious. The locker came with a key and was large. The toilet was small. Our sink was blocked all day. There were also mosquitos in our room. Generally it was ok. I'd stay there again if it's for a few nights.
For 2 people having a private double bed room was 100 for one night. Which isnt that bad as the location is very close to all the main sites in venice. Room was clean and still had the smell of cleaning products. Shower head holder was broken but other than that it wasnt too bad just for the one night.
You have to go through a barely noticeable alley to get there (enter the alley next to the Paul & Shark, and then take the first left)! Big lockers, most staff members were helpful and the beds were fine. Bathroom didn’t seem too clean, but it was manageable. Very expensive due to the location. You can leave your luggage at the hostel after checkout for an extra €5, but that doesn’t mean you get to put it in a safe. They just allow you to put your stuff on the ground in a staff room next to the exit, without apparent safety measures. Something to be aware of. My bag was fine.
