stayed here for two nights, and got upgraded from a dorm to a lovely private room with a grand canal view so overall very happy with my stay here. basically had an entire apartment to ourselves which was very warm and spacious. Breakfast was average but location of this hostel is great. staff werent great but not bad. Value for... More

Staying at this hostel was an absolutely awful experience! We've been travelling for 6 months, so have stayed at a wide variety of hostels and this was one of the worst in terms of value for money. We chose it because of the location and the fact that there were no reviews saying that there were bed bugs (unlike many... More

Stayed here for two nights. Alex and his staff was helpful in addressing my queries. The location is good once you find it - everyone gets lost in the Venice anyway. It has a vaporetto stop nearby so you don't have to carry your luggage across the bridges - unless you want to. The location is superb and you can... More

This is a hostel with superb location. A little hard to find though, if you walk from the main train station. It is just across the water but to get it there by foot, you need to have a good sense of navigation. I arrived there around evening time and it was already all dark. Miss my way and luckily... More

The location is superb with it being almost on the Grand Canal and pnly a 10minute walk from Piazzale Roma - the main bus station to get to/from Marco Polo Airport. There is also a vaporetto (water-taxi) stop just outside the hostel making it really easy to travel down the Grand Canal. I'd recommend taking the vaporetto no.1 at night... More

I'm a simple backpacker who is patient/understanding and rarely complains unless necessary. In this case, I think I write the truth. Previous reviews for this hostel gave the impression that this is a great place to stay. However we were disappointed after our stay. The location right along the canal made it extremely noisy to sleep, although the view was... More

To make it short and sweet: it was everything i hoped. and the most important thing was cleanliness, and normal staff. this is not a 5 star hotel so i didn't have high expactations, but i think it is a perfect hostel. i was in a female dorm, and it was so cute, everithing pink, and cute, girly. hostel is...

The hostel is a great location being just a 5 to 10 minute walk - depending on luggage! from the train station in Venice. Directions are clearly given and you can also take the vaporetto one stop to avoid going up and down any bridges if you wish. The hostel itself is really clean and Alex cooks every night for... More

Great location, good for meeting young backpackers like ourselves. Small and social so you get to know everyone - for example the owner cooks a meal and everyone eats together. Would recommend for solo backpackers, however me and my three girlfriends felt more comfortable staying in the Ostello di Venezia and would not really come back to L'Imbarcadero. I did... More
