Situated in Venice, within 400 metres of Ca' d'Oro and a 9-minute walk of Rialto Bridge, Ostello S. Fosca - CPU Venice Hostels offers private rooms and dormitories, with free WiFi.

At the hostel, rooms come with either shared or private bathroom.

Great location. I got from Marco Polo Airport by bus 5 to the Venice stop (10€), then walked 15 minutes along the busy tourist streets along the Grand Canal to the hostel. You can check into the hostel until 22.00; they are not available at night. I checked in at 21.00, I need to call the administrator to open the door. The administrator, a very nice girl, quickly checked us in and explained everything in detail. The hostel is clean, there is a kitchen where you can cook or heat food. Tea and coffee are free in the Hall. Ideal for a short stay.

Guests can choose between a bed in a dormitory, a private room or an apartment. Communal areas include a kitchen, a lounge area, a terrace with canal views and a laundry area. There is also a conference room.

The facilities are simply amazing. It’s a huge property with patios, canal views, restaurant etc. We got an apartment with 2 bedrooms and everything was perfectly clean and working properly. Definitely recommend! It’s located a little off the “city centre” but it’s perfectly walkable.

Located in Venice, Silk Road offers private rooms and dormitories with free WiFi, a few steps from San Basilio Vaporetto Stop and a 10-minute walk from Canal Grande.

Dormitories come with bedside tables and lockers. Some come with canal views. Private rooms feature a safe and free towels, and all share a bathroom.

I would like to thank the hospitable administrator for the warm welcome. The girl gave good advice about restaurants and transport. I was lucky to be in the room alone. I had a bathroom, a kitchen with everything I needed, a towel, internet, hairdryer, city map. It was cool in November, the radiators were a little warm, and they offered me an extra blanket. Nearby there is a grocery store, several cafes, and an embankment with a beautiful sunset. The center is 20 minutes walk. I can recommend Silk Road

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.

    Really nice budget option. Super comfortable beds! A lot of young people. I have been there during low session, so hostel didn't offer any special food or events but I have seen that they have. In the area are many nice and cheap local restaurants!

    The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. The location is a bit out of the way, but easy enough to get to and much cheaper than staying on the main island. I felt safe in and around the hostel as a solo female traveller. The staff that checked me in were incredibly kind and helpful, although the staff on reception/bar the following morning were noticeably less so.

    Really great location right next to the water and 15mins walk from Piazzale Roma where the buses come. Host was very friendly and accommodating and gave great advice on where to eat, sights to see etc. The shared room was very comfortable and one of the best hostel stays in my experience. Also the sunsets on the harbourside directly outside the house were amazing each day.

    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

    Ths location is amazing. There are tons of restaurants and bars around the hotel. Most major tourist sites are near. Personnel was polite. Staying in Venice isn't cheap so it's nice to have a budget option that's not a hostel. A cleaning lady came in every day and the room was cleaned well. The rooms are old but it's part of the charm.
