Venice is a notoriously expensive city. So, if you are looking for affordable accommodations, check this place out. We got a triple room with private bath, and a canal view for 100 Euros. It was a lovely room, with 2 levels, but there is no air con and it was STIFLING -- esp. on the upper level. Also, the people... more

We were 4 couples in our 60s, spending 3 nights. We had 3 doubles with private bath and 1 kitchenette unit w/bath; all were spotlessly clean with TVs. One dble was in the old section of the building; it looked out only onto another building less than a foot away, but was large and comfortable and very quiet. Other 2... more

This is a wonderful and efficiently run place. It is basic but has its own beauty. The location is a knockout. more

This hostel was run by the Methodists in Venice and is so classy and charming you can hardly believe it is so cheap. Positives: We first had a double because the dorms were full of school groups. We were in a double with shared bathrooms. The room had loads of charm with cracking frescoes and a window that opened up... more

This place is billed as an old convent converted into dorm/hostel style accomodations, however, our accomodations were not like a hostel at all. My boyfriend and I had a private room with 2 beds and our own bathroom. The room was very bare bones but contained the essentials (even had a small TV) and was clean. The location was great,... more

We had a fantastic stay at this hostel last week. Although quite basic - our room had a TV and the bathroom looked brand new. Everything was spotlessly clean. This hostel was fairly quiet - no huge socialising oppurtunities, but it was nice to escape the noisyness of the touristy areas of Venice. Only slight complaint would be that it... more

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was brilliant. We had to book a long time ago and it felt a little touch-and-go as to whether we had made a proper reservation because its done via fax but when we got there we were not disappointed. The hostel is very central - you can walk to St Marks sq... more

My husband and I travelled to Venice as part of our honeymoon in May 2005. Our stay at the Foresteria Valdese Hostel was one of the most memorable parts of our jouney across Europe; for positive reasons. Check-in is restricted to certain times in the day; however, you are able to leave your luggage in a storage room if you... more

This must be the best deal possible for lodgings in Venice. Some hostel/dorm style rooms but also a number of private rooms (book well in advance!) Our room was small but delightful--twin beds, a television and a wardrobe pretty much filled the space. But the walls were frescoed and we enjoyed a balcony overlooking the canal. It is a little... more
