Very nice and clean hostel. I love it. The only thing to be aware of is that you need to get a Ferry to get to the hostel and back to the main island. Each way cost €9.5. Other than that, it is a great place to stay.

Loved that it wasn’t on a tourist island. Very quiet with lovely locals everywhere. Rooms were very tight/dark and there was no kitchen for hostel guests to use. The bar food downstairs wasn’t great but the environment was spacious, welcoming and easy to hang out in.

Close to water bus to take you anywhere around Venice but out of the way of the hustle and bustle of tourests.

Fun spot to stay for a few days. The bathrooms are shared and are a bit tight, but for the price you can't complain. Definitely a unique experience if you have never stayed in a Hostel before. The coffee/drink bar was great, good area to mingle as well. Note, you do have to get there by water taxi, so be prepared to buy a ticket or day pass upon arrival.

Overall decent stay. It would be good to give the bathrooms bath mats? The shower room would always have water on the floor since people had to step out without a bath mat.

Very friendly staff willing to answer questions and help out. The hostel was nice itself too (I’ve stayed in much worse) and for me, in an easy location to commute both day and night from mainland Venice and Lido (for the film festival). Would defo comeback.

The staff was great and available when needed. The location was breath taking. Eating while watching the sun set on Venice was a memorable experience. The public transit ferry dock was very close. I had a 7 day transit pass for the city which I found very useful.

6/10

The location is great despite not being on the main island. Easy transportation as well, but you absolutely need a vaporetti pass. Also plan towels/hair dryer/lock/soap etc because those all come at an extra cost, which was very disappointing. The shared bathroom are so small, you have very little room to put down your things or hand your clothes while you are in the shower.
