Ostello S. Fosca Reviews

I was kept waiting out in the dark upon arrival at midnight, despite having explained that I would be arriving late. Being told to wait in the dark outside, and not invited in was pretty rude, I had been traveling for 10 hours by this point and it was starting to rain. The wifi was great, as was the i euro breakfast. However the light in the room was unable to be switched off and so we all spent a sleepless night. Good value for money considering venice from what I hear. Apartment after better.

They said they would wait for me, because the reception closes at 8 pm and I arrived in Venice at 23 pm. When I got there (pretty hard to find by the way), there wasn't anyone from the hostel waiting for me. I still had to pay 8 euros because I arrived late.

The location on a canal was great. The hostel itself is really sad. The bed was OK and there are places to put your stuff. There was a sink with running water in the dorm. There are only 2 bathrooms and only one has a shower. The shower water was all over the floor and there was nowhere to hang your clothes while you showered. It was a balancing act trying to keep clothes dry. Vending machines are all there is for food/drink.It's a walk to the train if you have a backpack.

Nice hostel and good value for money in Venice. Location was great for cheaper restaurants but still close to all the main sites. Not many communal areas so people tend to keep to themselves.

The staff was so accommodating! I arrived in Venice with a horrible case of food poisoning and when I realized I would not get better in time for my planned departure, the hostel had no problem putting me up free of charge in a special room . They truly saved me. The hours of operation were hard to deal with tho. closed from 12:00-15:00 and closed for the night at 20:00. and the checkout time of 9:30 is unreasonable.

You just get a bed and the bathroom. There is no kitchen or unless a fridge if you want to have some food and prepare yourself something. I had the feeling that once they have your money they don't wanna know anything from you. No leaving room to hang out with roommates or read or watch some tv before going out.

I had a hard time finding it first, but it's quiet, and safe. close to a store to get food to bring back to cook. The biggest issue was they charge 1 euro for breakfast, which was a small bottle of juice and a breakfast bar. I would go out for breakfast.

The directions were quite hard to follow, luckily I had a map of Venice already so was able to find my way without too much difficulty. The bed was uncomfortable and there was a lack of atmosphere, but if you just want a place to put your stuff and a bed to sleep in then it's fine.

Good value for the money, excellent location and everything was clean.

Basic bare minimum. Bed and lamp. Wifi and pc use was avaliable for a cost, no breakfast, difficult to find. A nice no frills hostel is that's what your looking for but don't expect to much ss Venice is extremely overpriced and not really worth a long visit.

Kind of expensive for not including almost anything (no towels or wifi or breakfast). But then again, the location's great and it is Venice, so...

You need to pay to use the Wi Fi and stay out of your room everyday from 9h30 to 12h.

Overall, the hostel is good. The location is very good, although it was a little hard to find at first. The staff was very helpful and kind, the place was clean and comfortable, no noises, and overall the price was fair. The only thing that we miss was a kitchen, although they offer microwave and coffee machine.

Good hostel. It has adequate facilities, however no lockers in the room that I stayed in. Location is good, tucked away from the tourist hub-bub, but easy enough to get around. It's worth staying here just to be staying in Venice.

Situated in a perfect place . Bathrooms are clean and beds good. Good hostel to stay. No internet . The place closes at 8 so you cant use the kitchen of living room after that (had to eat in my room), But appart from that, the place is very good and nice for a short stay.

The hostel is very easy to find, but I did not like the conditions. Linens smelled not very nice, although it was clean. The shower room was not cleaned and there was little soap. The package does not include linen towel, I had not met this before, so I was not comfortable :)

i'm not sure now what was the price, but nevertheless having to pay 1 or 2 euros for only one hour of internet... it should be for free! having to pay, then, should provide unlimited time, or at least one day of.

It's inconvenient that you can't check in after 8pm and there isn't any breakfast included, but other than that, this was a very nice hostel! You have to pay for internet, but then there is free printing!

I think Ostello s. Fosca is a bit different from other hostels I've been to. It has a good location in the city just 15 minutes walk from the bus station and the city isnt that big so you can see most of the sights in just one day. The reception and the common room has restricted opening hours which isnt too good during the cold part of the year. There are no lockers in the dorms. Nevertheless I think the hostel gives good value for the money in a city where most accommations are expensive.

I enjoyed my stay at the hostel very much - definitely one of the most attractive hostels I've stayed in! Staff were very friendly and happy to help. Would it be a possibility in the future to have personal lockers in the rooms or behind the reception? That's the only improvement I can think of.
