Very nice and clean hostel. I love it. The only thing to be aware of is that you need to get a Ferry to get to the hostel and back to the main island. Each way cost €9.5. Other than that, it is a great place to stay.

We stayed here 10 years and the atmosphere was far better as the bar area seemed to busier (probably due to pricing) and there wasn't security inside making sure that people were not drinking after 11pm

Fun spot to stay for a few days. The bathrooms are shared and are a bit tight, but for the price you can't complain. Definitely a unique experience if you have never stayed in a Hostel before. The coffee/drink bar was great, good area to mingle as well. Note, you do have to get there by water taxi, so be prepared to buy a ticket or day pass upon arrival.

Very friendly staff willing to answer questions and help out. The hostel was nice itself too (I’ve stayed in much worse) and for me, in an easy location to commute both day and night from mainland Venice and Lido (for the film festival). Would defo comeback.

Loved that it wasn’t on a tourist island. Very quiet with lovely locals everywhere. Rooms were very tight/dark and there was no kitchen for hostel guests to use. The bar food downstairs wasn’t great but the environment was spacious, welcoming and easy to hang out in.
