This hostel is located on this main island of Venice, and bills itself as the only hostel situated as such. That places it very close to such locations as the Piazzale Roma, the Rialto Bridge and San Marco Square. It has a common room with Internet access, a pingpong table and a TV. The hostel opened in July 2009, and therefore is a recently renovated facility. However, there is a 1 a.m. curfew.
