Ostello della Gioventu Venezia

There are not many bona finde hostels in Venice, but Ostello della Gioventu Venezia is certainly one worth noting. It is actually a member of the Hostelling International network of hostels, and is located on Giudecca Island in a refurbished grain store! It is a short boat ride to the heart of Venice - the famous St. Mark’s Square is a mere five minute boat trip away.

You will not want for space at Ostello della Gioventu Venezia - the hostel has more than 250 beds! There are both dorms and private rooms, and the dorms options are female only, male only and mixed - but no matter which bed you choose, the price is very cheap.

Some of the amenities you will find at Ostello della Gioventu Venezia are:

• Free linens
• Free breakfast
• On site bar, cafe and restaurant
• Internet access
• Luggage storage and security lockers
• TV lounge
• Groups welcome
• Credit cards accepted
• Short lockout time for cleaning

Because Ostello della Gioventu Venezia, which simply means “Venice youth hostel” in Italian, is a member of Hostelling International, you can rest assured that it has to meet certain standards. It also means that if you are not an HI member you will have to pay an extra fee per night (it is small), although if you stay for more than six nights you are automatically made an HI member. The hostel does have a brief lockout period during the day so that the rooms can be cleaned, so from 9:30am until 1:30pm you need to be out seeing the sights of Venice!

Getting this close to the heart of Venice without paying a fortune is fantastic, and staying in the Ostello della Gioventu Venezia and its cool, historic building is even better.
