  • The YHA Ostello Della Gioventu is located in an old grain house (newly renovated, of course) on the island of Giudecca, just across the canal from the central San Marco neighborhood. The location provides great views and easy access to central Venice. The hostel has 254 beds, and guests can chose between male-only dorms, female-only dorms, or private rooms. Non HI members pay an additional €3 but guests who stay six nights or more become HI members for the whole year for no additional cost. There's also a TV in the common room and luggage storage available. Breakfast is included, but don't expect much.

  • This place is a sh**hole. You can only get to the island by paying for a boat or swimming. The staff doesn't really care about you they just want your money. The breakfest is a roll with butter and jelly and some drink. they have lockouts so they can open the common area up to sell cheap meals to passer byes. The bathrooms have no toilet seats at all. so just find another place

  • the hostel did not provide the typical hostel experience. You had to pay extra for everything. Each night there were children from eight to sixteen running all over the place. The store and kitchen wihim he hostel is staffed by very rude people. Rooms are basically all with 32 beds
