The Residenza Santa Croce hostel's reception is conveniently located very close the train station. The hostel offers private twins and mixed dorms with either four or six beds, and rooms are not in the same building as the reception, so you are completely private and independent. The Santa Croce offers free internet, large personal lockers for extra security, and friendly staff who clean the rooms every day. All their rooms are supremely located for having Venice at your fingertips!

"Great Hostel and Excellent Location"

The rooms were very nice and had private baths. They were clean, with sufficient space and had ammenities like a little fridge, air conditioning, TV, and lockers in the room. The location was excellent as it was not very far from either the train or bus station and was right on the grand canal. Everyone at the desk was friendly and helpful. The only issue for me was the many flights of stairs with no elevator (pack light). As far as hostels go it was not cheap, but given the hotel prices in Venice I thought it was priced fairly.

The hostel is in a great location (right across the canal from the train station... although make sure you check the number). The rooms are great and the staff is helpful. The computer is quite out-dated, but otherwise, it's a great place to stay.
This hostel is so conveniently located right across from the train station! I lucked out and got one of the rooms right at the check in...some of the rooms are located at another part of venice, which is probably very annoying. The rooms are really nice, very clean, and with a NICE bathroom!! staff are very helpful and nice also
