Youth Venice Hostelers Home

We buzzed the person to open the door for about 20 minutes. Finally got connection to call the owner to get the door open. Most people here are visiting and can’t even call international numbers! Go to find out, the air conditioner is broken. The worker could not help us and refused to give us any money back. I would not have stayed here in the humid summer knowing there is no air conditioner!

It was a cold, dark and foggy evening. I was walking with my trolley bag feeling as though I was in a maze! Then a lady stopped to ask me, «Are you lost?» «No, I just could not find this place on my map.» Soon after I heard people talking and dogs barking. I walked towards them. One of the men (the hostel manager) asked me, «Are you Irene?» Finally, I reached the hostel! He kept asking me this, «Come! Make a photo of the big dog and the small dog.» He has a cute white Chow Chow.
The sign in front of the hostel was very small. The address shown on
website was not accurate.
The hostel looks like someone’s 3 bedroom flat. The reception area is very small. There is a kitchen and a bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom were clean, though not up to my standards. There were 3 single beds and luggage lockers in my room. The room was warm, duvets were provided.
No breakfasts provided. The kitchen has no microwave oven. I had to use the radiator to warm up my overnight pizza!
I saw Raphael’s cherubs painting on the kitchen wall, near the stairs to the upper floor. I once lost a similar painting of these cherubs and had been looking for this painting all these years. I was eclectic to see these 2 cherubs again. The cherubs gazed in wistful contemplation. We all should…
I paid € 24 per night for the stay. Please note that guests will have to pay for additional city tax € 3 per day, bedsheets and towel € 5 per stay per person, total of € 11.
Check-​in: from 10:00 until 23:00
Check-​out: from 08:00 until 10:30
I checked out before 10.30am but the hostel manager was no where to be seen. So I left my keys at the reception and took a photo as evidence.
