The Hostel is a little bit far from the center (why the prices are competitive) but you can get to Venice with their shuttle for 6€ both ways, or by bus for 2,60€ and it takes roughly 20 minutes. The staff is not the friendliest, but they'll help you if you need it. If you have allergies, you might find it rough, the fabrics of the walls of the rooms are filled with dust and you wake up in the night with your sinuses blicked up.. but then again, you are paying a very good price for Venice

The ladies who work at the desk are pretty rude and unhelpful, or as she told us, she was too sick to help us. Its cheaper to stay outside the city but know that taking the bus can take 45 minutes and you can take the shuttle for €3 and it takes about ten minutes. There is a supermarket close by. Do not go to the restaurant next door!! Its unnecessarily expensive and the only thing that was open and within walking distance. The room was comfortable and clean, the decor was...interesting

*Rooms and inside of hotel were very nice. Lots of character. *Bus from hotel to Venice bus station convenient, but shuttle should be complimentary, instead of 3 euro/pp. *Hotel is located 25min away from city center. Hotel is on residential street. There is nothing to do or see within walking distance. *Fine buffet breakfast, but should be included w/room. 6 euro/pp too expensive. *The two ladies we interacted with at the front desk lacked good personality. They should have been nicer.

Would not recommend staying here at all! The location is too far from Venice and there is nothing around the Hotel, besides fields. You have to take at least a 20minute walk to find food, as the hotel doesn't offer any. Area is dodgy. Staff are unwelcoming and rude. Really need to improve their hospitality skills because they are outrageously bad!

The hotel is clean and good. Location is the problem , but hotel offer shuttle 3euro per person/ one way which is really ok and convenient. bBut we had problem to find the hotel at the first day, its said to take bus 10, but the stop is not the one while you get out of Venice station, so, if you choose this hotel, and would have late check in, better to ask hotel's shuttle, cost 16euro. It takes 30euro by taxi to be there. Hotel stuff of the day time was not friendly at all.

The lady with blonde hair is really rude and mean, however, the lady with brown hair was very sweet and helpful. They also say they are "24 hour reception" yet they disappear for hours. They are almost never at the front desk. The cleaning lady had to go find the receptionist. The restaurant was closed and on sunday nothing in the town was open, which was very unfortunate. In order to get food you had to drive or take the bus somewhere.
