The place is in a fantastic location in San Marco, very close to lots of the big landmarks and in the centre of the bustle of Venice. The room I stayed in even had a window over one of the canals! Hospitality was great, and I felt comfortable to ask questions - someone was always available. The room I stayed in was big and so was a bit noisy at night but no more so than at other hostels and depends on who you share with. Would definitely recommend :)
