I enjoyed my stay, the hostel is far from the action but 1 min away from the mestre station, in 15 minutes u r on the island of venice, every roundtrip is 2,7 euro so this will add up, take notice of the locks, a travel lock is not good enough to secure ur belongings under the bed. some people stay 1 night others several days but there is a good mix of people in the mixed dorms and i had some nice conversations/experiences. i would recommend this hostel, if i were to return to venice, this hostel is a no brainer
