Ostello S. Fosca Reviews

The complaints in the reviews section about the restrictive wifi policy are entirely justified, unfortunately, and there are no lockers in the rooms for luggage. On the other hand, the rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. The common area was only open for about 3 hours each evening, which meant it was more difficult to meet other guests than at some other hostels.

Reception time should be longer and on working times. The current of reception time of this property is limited period in morning and afternoon.

Overall, my stay was good. I thought the atmosphere was lacking a bit, probably due to the fact that the common room is only open from 8am-12pm and 5-8pm. This made it difficult to meet people from the hostel. Also, when I arrived, some of the doors were unlocked and anyone could have entered the premises and taken other people's belongings.

The staff was really nice and helpful, plus we got a free upgrade to a better room because it was still free in the evening.

I wish there could be staff there between the hours of 1230 and 5 and 8 and midnight, but I understand that it is really cheap. Its kind of a toss up, just make sure you get there during the reception hours, otherwise its a bit more complicated...

Great hostel! I only wish internet were free, but it was at least cheap.

clean and comfortable hostel, a little bit far from famous attraction but acceptable distance.

Although we arrived a little past the closing hour (we were about 20 minutes late) they still warmly greeted us and showed us to our room. The bathrooms were clean but you have to get up real early to use them since it's only two, but only one of them has a shower. There were a lot of stains on the walls in the room due to the mosquitoes. Be prepared for MANY mosquitoes, they woke us up many times during the night, it was annoying. It's good value for your money, I definitely recommend it.

Wish I hadn't stayed here. Not only was it expensive but strange. I believe it is used as uni dorming, so there were multiple buildings. We couldn't use the lounge at night, and there was no available kitchen. The only plus was the location simply because it was on the main island.

It's a comfortable place to stay. The price is affordable, the facilities and the location are good. The attitude of the lady who is on duty is negative and she doesn't like turists. I didn't like to be charged with additional two euros tax.

The prices are really good in comparison to the rest of Venice. The location was really good, right in between of the train station and Piazza San Marco. The rooms are separated (by gender). The only bad thing is that the reception is not opened the whole time.

I stayed at this hostel for one night. The location was fairly good in relation to the station. On arrival, the dorm room floor was covered in water, which I later found out was due to an issue with the shower, the sheets and beds were perfectly clean, however the blanket was covered in blood stains and did not seem clean at all. The reception times are limited, and so when I wanted to go online at 9pm, I couldn't, even when I tried paying by credit card from my laptop (there is no free wifi!)

This hostel was easy to find and the room we shared with two other people was very spacious and clean. I felt very safe here but it is not like most hostels because none of the other rooms are connected and so it's very unlikely you will meet anyone other than the people in your room. We only stayed in Venice one night so we weren't spending much in the hostel but it was nice and the beds were comfortable. It would have been nice if breakfast was included.

Ostello Santa Fosca was great!! It was in a really cool building and in a pretty good location, probably about a 25 minute walk from St. Mark's Square. We got there between check-in hours, but if you ring the bell someone will come to let you store your bags until check-in.

It's a nice hostel placed in Carnaregio. I stayed in a room just for girls, and it was very nice.

The hostel was clean and organized, but the check-in is too late and the check out is too early and we can\'t leave the bagages at afternoon bacause it\'s closed.

Excelent price for a hostel inside Venice. You can go walking everywhere. The worst thing thoght is that there are some machines for coffee inside the reception but we can't use them earlier because the reception is opened only from 8:00 to 17:00.

The room smelled bad because of the toilets, even after they supposedly cleaned it. It was a little difficult to find. Kind of out of the way of most things. It was still nice though. Hot showers, no curfew.

Very peaceful and beautiful place. Excellent value for Venice. DIfficult to find as the directions weren't clear and weird reception/cleaning hours.
