Venice is an expensive place and to find a good place near the major sites and train station can be difficult. I was traveling solo last August and my number one goal was to not suffer from hauling my luggage from Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia to my hotel and also save some money. Domus Civica offered me both! It... More

We heard a lot about this hostel on web sites. But except for its easy to find location near St.Lucia station it had nothing more to offer to mature travelers like us. Mainly a girls hostel converted to hostel for others during vacations have no restaurant , no attached toilets or washrooms. One can find inner garments of inmates drying... More

The hotel closes at midnight and if you dont reach there before, you stay out. Can you imagine? A city that excels at night, the hotel forces you to be back and spend it in there rooms! We booked a double room and what we got was a bunker. They didnt mention any such thing on the website. The place... More

The good: good location (5min from train station), reasonable price for being in Venice, clean. Wifi works in the room but it costs extra and wasn't all that cheap. The bad: Your locked in from 1230am to 7am. That means no getting in or getting out. Especially not good if you have an early train. Bunk beds weren't all that... More

I stayed at Domus Civica for two days this July. A very different experience, and no regrets. If you are a male, Domus Civica offers you the unique experience of staying in a girls’ hostel, your morality and purse intact . That is because, during the vacation months of July to September, rooms are offered for travellers. The room is... More

This was a convenient place to stay in Venice. It has a great location in a quiet part of Venice close to the train station and the Rialto area. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again. More

I`ll try not to be repetitive since other user has already made a very nice review. I simply loved this place. Room is quit spartan (or better, Franciscan). very simple but clean and quiet. I took one of those electric mosquito repellent you plug in the wall and haven`t had any problem with mosquito or bugs. Worth mentioning is the... More

The hostel is located 5 minutes from Venice train station. Beware the map on the hostel website is wrong, but the written directions are perfect, make sure to print them out before to go because it's impossible to find it otherwise. Check in is from 7am to 11.30pm so I had no touble for checking in early, which is normally... More

This hostel was the first of my trip and because of this has a worse review. The place itself was decent enough, fairly expensive considering there is no breakfast included. It is a University hall of residence which means you have to go to the corridor or downstairs for the toilets or breakfast and because I was alone in my... More

The Domus Civica (corner of Calle Sachere and Cimesin, Venice) is actually a student residence for girls that turns into a youth hostel (open to all) during the summer months. It is situated barely a 10-minute walk from the train station, in an area that is not too touristy, and is reasonably easy to find. I had reserved a double... More
