Ming's hostel is incredible and is easily the nicest hostel I've ever been to. Ming personally picked us up from the train station Venezia Mestre and walked with us to the hostel 5 minutes away. The beds are comfortable, the wifi is fast, and the bathrooms are clean and smell good. All for a great price as well.

The 2 bus takes you into the heart of venice in ~20 minutes for a <2 euro fare. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place just outside the heart of venice as it is far more affordable and more quiet.
