“A nice stay”
The location was close to the train station, the staff was friendly and helped me with storing the luggage. The terrace at the 4th floor is very nice. You have bars/cafes nearby.

“Great hostel to feel like a local.”
Fantastic hostel. I really enjoyed my stay in Venice there. The staff was the best. The fact that is a student dorm that is reused for tourism in summer makes it a unique experience. I will definetely come back here.

“Adorable”
I only stayed one night at Ostello. I had seen the good reviews, and they were not only confirmed but even surpassed. The staff were very friendly, answered all my questions, and provided clear instructions. The hotel is located in a quiet area, yet very close to the train station, which makes it convenient to reach the city center on foot in about 20 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised to receive an upgrade at check-in, and the bed was extremely comfortable. I would also like to highlight the cleanliness of the bathrooms and showers. For me, this is a very important factor, with the trash being emptied in the evening. I truly recommend this place and will definitely come back. It has great charm and a genuine Venetian spirit🫶 Kristina

Practical basic place to stay for a couple of nights. Only a short walk to both bus and train stations and the vaporetto. Quiet at night. Roof terrace was a nice spot to sit and have breakfast.

“Good location offering good food options.”
This was a really good stay and value for money. The staff were fantastic, really helpful to another guest who had a personal situation. The location offers more reasonably priced food options, as the closer you get to the main squares, the more expensive everything becomes. I would stay again.

“Lovely place, excelled facilities and fair pricing”
I loved everything about the place starting with how kind the people at the reception were to how clean the rooms were and how excellent the location and pricing was. I stayed in an air conditioned room with two other beds. I arrived around 7am even though check-in starts at 2pm, the lady at the reception let me put my bags in the storage and use the facilities. I was checked in at 11am as soon as the room was available. As someone allergic to dust and dander I was glad that they provide you with fresh sheets and covers to put on.
