Ideal location, directly located a few passes from the Venice train station. Hostel was clean and simple. Nice old building with a rather nice view from our room. Comfy bed and clean bathroom. Biggest downside was the curfew ... even on new year's eve! No elevator and the hot water didn't always work. Besides that I would definitely recommend and... more

First impressions sometimes can be everything, and it is certainly the case here. Our first impression was: Let's get out of here as quickly as we can! We arrived early, after booking on a travel site noting in the communication, apparently sent to the proprietor via the site, that we would be there at 10am. Denoting this, we made the... more

This is really small place, there is small everything - the side street in which it´s situated, its lobby, staircase, room itself, even the bed and the breakfast. But we looked for a cheap place near the train station but not much far from the centre, and we spent there one night only and we were just a little time... more

This place was great, for our purposes. My husband and I were backpacking, and wanted somewhere to sleep and shower, basically. We didn't need a 5 star hotel for three times the price! It was quaint, the manager was helpful and it was in a good location, easy walk from the bus station and train station, although Venice is a... more

We were welcomed rudely and this was compounded by the owner overcharging us on departure when we had to produce original emails to get a grudging refund. The room and breakfast were OK. The location was convenient, not far from both bus and railway stations. Apart from that Venice was magical! more

Al Gallo is a cute place to stay, with a very Italian feel. The rooms are comfortable and the bathrooms are clean. If you like a substantial breakfast, be warned that it is a bread roll and a glass of juice, coffee or tea. Good to keep you going for an hour or two. Venice streets are confusing, so take... more

At €99 a night for a long American Thanksgiving weekend in Venice, this hotel was not as bad as the reviews describe but not worthy of recommendation. You must simply be able to do better in terms of both price and a price quality relationship. Location It is perhaps a 5 minute walk to the bus station and a ten... more

After being ushered to a private taxi from the parking garage, we found ourselves in Piazza San Marco with all of our bags and a bad internet map. We finally oriented ourselves and found the ally that the hotel entrance is located. Then we met him..... Yep, the owner's famous father. He began by berating us on how we should... more

Although the hotel is a bit tricky to find, and the rooms have a somewhat cramped feel, overall I really enjoyed my stay and would do it again. The owner was very kind and upgraded the room for free because a better room was available. The included breakfast was simple but good, and the small staff was friendly and helpful. more
