A 10-minute walk from Santa Lucia Train Station, Ostello Domus Civica is set in Venice’s San Polo district. This hostel offers a shared terrace and rooms and beds in mixed dormitories, both with shared bathrooms.

Definitely recommended! It is close to the Venice bus/train station (walkable). Silvia and her colleagues were kind and helpful although I was late to arrive for check in. Eateries are right outside the door, so the hassle of looking for food right after you reach is saved. It has a terrace which is open all night - a good place to chill and meet other travellers. Overall really affordable, good location and very kind staff.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Beautiful little apartment with so many lovely touches. Host provided us with all basic necessities and more - tea, coffee, milk, sugar, even yoghurts and brioche rolls for breakfast. We didn’t need to buy any provisions at all. Easy walking distance from train station and great location to explore Venice. We loved staying here - it was small but felt like home. Quiet, safe and gorgeous.

    Venice is expensive city, so it was cheapest we could find - not in city center. It is not far from the bus stop, so it's easy to get there from city center. The guy who was meeting us, was very nice and helpful. The room we got was not the room we booked (one double bed instead of 2 separate ones), we complained and they changed it easily. It's a good option if you want to stay one night with tough budget. The room and bathroom were clean.

    Great location very near St Mark's. The front/breakfast room overlooks a canal. Lovely décor throughout. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast was plentiful. It was nice to be able to open the bedroom window. Issue with mosquitos but a plug-in device was provided which was marvellous. A safe in the room was an added bonus, as well as a kettle and mini fridge. I really recommend this hotel. On

    Property is in a great location right on the bank of the grand canal . It’s about a 35 minute walk to the square and palace or you can jump on a ferry . Property is very clean , and nicely decorated . Checkin info sent promptly and worked without issue . Great property to stay in on the cheaper end in Venice .

    The location on the Giudecca island: fantastic. Seaview from the hostel entrance, you can contemplate Venice from a more quiet and typical spot. The rooms are new and furnished with all the minimum facilities, including a box under the bunk beds to leave your belongings (bring a lock!) The price is still acceptable compared to average prices in Venice and rooms are regularly cleaned.

    A super friendly hostel minutes away from the water taxi stop from the airport. The area around the hostel is quiet and safe and there is a canal filled with local bars and restuarants nearby. The people running the hostel are very friendly and helpful. Its also the cheaperst hostel in Venice
