Anda Venice is great if you enjoy large hostels. Good location (take the right BEFORE the park on via Piave) with lots of places to eat, get sims, and get groceries around. Also great evening events. It was easy to meet a lot of people but hard to get close because there were just SO many people! Note that if you arrive before 2 pm, you can still store your luggage even though you can't check in.
