Guests can choose between a bed in a dormitory, a private room or an apartment. Communal areas include a kitchen, a lounge area, a terrace with canal views and a laundry area. There is also a conference room.

The facilities are simply amazing. It’s a huge property with patios, canal views, restaurant etc. We got an apartment with 2 bedrooms and everything was perfectly clean and working properly. Definitely recommend! It’s located a little off the “city centre” but it’s perfectly walkable.

We were super happy about this hotel. Friendly Stefano met us there and gave us a lot of valuable information about places to visit and things to do, also the information about local tricks not to get into any tourist trap. The hotel was a bit old (as everything in Venice), but super clean and comfortable. The location is top, central, but not very loud (the windows are new and good sound isolating). The big kitchen in the hotel with all the equipment needed helped us save some money on restaurants. So I totally recommend this hotel and would love to go there again!

Located in Venice, Silk Road offers private rooms and dormitories with free WiFi, a few steps from San Basilio Vaporetto Stop and a 10-minute walk from Canal Grande.

Dormitories come with bedside tables and lockers. Some come with canal views. Private rooms feature a safe and free towels, and all share a bathroom.

The host was especially kind and friendly; my room was canal view, inside was quiet, very clean, very comfortable beds in a very spacious room; enough sockets for each person, wardrobe with hangers for clothes; the fan helped a lot, the temperature was very ok for the end of June; bathroom with large mirror on the door; I felt like home. I didn't need it, but there is also a kitchen. Conad - large market - nearby - max.2 min; 2 or even 3 vaporeto stations are very close. It's a place I would always choose, also because it's away from the usual crowds of tourists.

Located 300 metres from Rialto Bridge in Venice, Ai Boteri offers rooms with free Wi-Fi. There are numerous bars and restaurants in the surrounding area.

St. Mark's Square is a 10-minute walk away, while Venice Train Station is about 1.5 km from the hostel.

Totally exceeded my expectations. The service lady was exceptionally nice and the room I stayed in was clean. No problems at all with what the reviews said. There were no bugs. And there were mosquito lights. The bathroom also has a bathtub. But no hairdryer. I was lucky enough to see my neighbour's kitten downstairs. The location is also particularly good. The people staying with us were interesting too

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Really nice budget option. Super comfortable beds! A lot of young people. I have been there during low session, so hostel didn't offer any special food or events but I have seen that they have. In the area are many nice and cheap local restaurants!

    The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. The location is a bit out of the way, but easy enough to get to and much cheaper than staying on the main island. I felt safe in and around the hostel as a solo female traveller. The staff that checked me in were incredibly kind and helpful, although the staff on reception/bar the following morning were noticeably less so.

    Really great location right next to the water and 15mins walk from Piazzale Roma where the buses come. Host was very friendly and accommodating and gave great advice on where to eat, sights to see etc. The shared room was very comfortable and one of the best hostel stays in my experience. Also the sunsets on the harbourside directly outside the house were amazing each day.

    Ths location is amazing. There are tons of restaurants and bars around the hotel. Most major tourist sites are near. Personnel was polite. Staying in Venice isn't cheap so it's nice to have a budget option that's not a hostel. A cleaning lady came in every day and the room was cleaned well. The rooms are old but it's part of the charm.
