Rooms & rate
What you're paying for
A mix of dorm beds and private rooms, design-led but compact, with some lagoon-facing options. This is value and atmosphere over luxury — expect shared facilities in the dorms. A solid choice when staying in Venice on a budget without leaving the lagoon.
Why we say this

Not independently verified — estimated
