Venice

Ahh, Venice - it is the stuff that dreams are made of, a theme park for adults. This city with an unknown expiration date is one of those places people will tell you simply must see, even as they tell you how crowded it can get. Why? Because it is one of a kind, and utterly magical. It is also extraordinarily expensive. The high cost of staying the night in Venice turns most visitors into day-trippers, which is unfortunate, because Venice does not get charming until the day-trippers leave. So if you want to see the real Venice, you have to spend the night. But how will you afford it? Simple - sleep cheap in a Venice hostel. Okay, fine - but how do you know you are choosing the right hostel? Also simple - use our list of the best hostels in Venice.

Any heavily touristed city is going to be awash in accommodations, and Venice is no different. And who has time to read through all the descriptions of the hostels, guesthouses, B&Bs, and budget hotels in the city? We know you have better things to do than read through nearly 250 listings, so we have done the hard work for you. By combing through hostel reviews from some of the travel industry’s leading sources as well as reviews written by real travelers just like you, we have compiled our list of the best hostels in Venice so all you need to do is read the descriptions of a few places and pick the one that suits you. Then you can get back to the rest of your life.

Now, you might ask why we will not just come out and tell you which hostel you should stay in. Well, your personality has to match the personality of the hostel, and since you are the best judge of your own personality, we thought we would leave that to you. See, the things that make each of these hostels qualify for our list is going to be different for each property. One might be the place to go if you want to party all night in the hostel bar, another might be a quiet refuge from the city’s crowds.

Here is our list of Venice’s best hostels - by clicking on each name you can read a description of each hostel, including its whereabouts in the city in relation to the things you want to see and do there, and whether the hostel offers any free amenities. And if at the end of our list you have not found the ideal hostel for you, no worries - there are plenty more Venice hostels where those came from! Just remember that the word “hostel” is not used in Italy as much as it might be elsewhere, so if the property is called something like “guesthouse” or “B&B” it is still probably what you would consider a hostel. Reading the descriptions will tell you for sure.
