I wasn't looking forward to staying here but it was better than I thought. A guy does look out the window and ask if you have a booking etc. it's a small hostel about 20 beds so they are booked out most nights. Chris and Lewis are really nice guys and very helpful. There are only 2 showers but I... More

Everything is just horrible! First, when you arrive the instructions to find the place are just awfull! They work just if you know venice very well (otherwise you will end up lost)! After you find the place and press the bell a guys comes to the window and shout "What do you want?". What type of reception is this?! And... More

This was a different hostel to what I'm used to. It felt as though you were staying in a strangers house rather than a hostel. It was pretty much a old converted warehouse. The rooms are massive, and very sparse and the heating struggled to heat the whole room. There are no lockers or anywhere secure to put your luggage.... More

I stayed here for one night with my girlfriend while we were backpacking through Europe and it was one of the best experiences of our trip. First of all - we did not have a problem with bed bugs even though there is a post from the night before we stayed there saying there were. We even used their sheets... More

If you just need a clean bed to sleep in and for a good price, it's great. Great to have WiFi. It's a bit messy looking in the main hall, and yes, the stairs and main entry are dark, but not a big deal. The guy in charge was kind, helpful, flexible and friendly. Location is great. Could be confusing... More

Venice Fish is 4 min walking distance from water bus stop. Typical Venice Style building, private bridge ;-) Huge common area with a lot of fun with the owners and other guests ! We were 3 guest, the choice of one of us was to spent his time on the balcony of Venice Fish admiring perfect view with glass of... More

This isn't the nicest looking hostel I've ever stayed at but I absolutely loved my stay at fish! The staff were so friendly and so so helpful! Considering Venice isn't exactly a party area the big common area in the hostel meant everyone ended up having a great time in the hostel! The hostel is in a fantastic location with... More

This place is perfect. The staff is extremely friendly and takes guests out in Venice every night. There is a big common room with a great view over the plaza and the canal that runs in front of the hostel. Sangria is served every night. The showers are hot and the beds are comfortable. Don't stay anywhere else!

My husband and I booked this hostel as there were no vacancies over the easter period, unless it was $500+ per night. Unlike other travellers, we did not find it hard to get to. They had instructions how to get there on the bottom of the booking form... It was unorganised chaos when we got there, albeit friendly. The two... More
