Editorial
Hotel overview
Set within Venice’s Lagoon and island district, this hotel offers a calm retreat with easy access to iconic sights like the Grand Canal and St. Mark’s Basilica. The property combines the feel of a hostel with holiday home comforts, featuring modern, air-conditioned rooms, some equipped with kitchenettes to suit families or longer stays. Its unique location near the Fondamente Nove harbor makes water transport particularly accessible, ideal for venturing out to surrounding islands.
Guests appreciate the blend of clean, simple décor and authentic Venetian surroundings. While the hotel lacks some usual amenities such as a pool or fitness center, it compensates with practical services like laundry and free parking. Breakfast is available for an extra charge, often enjoyed at nearby cafés through a voucher system. Note that the area’s cobblestone streets and occasional stairs may pose challenges for travelers with heavy luggage or mobility issues. Noise from nearby boat traffic is common but manageable with ear plugs.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“A lovely place. Incredible views from our room looking over the water but be aware it's noisy from the boats. Wear ear plugs and no issue. Great location, very clean and modern decor. Highly recommended.”
“We stayed one night in Venice, though unfortunately, it rained the entire day. The hotel offered breakfast plus complimentary coupon for church entrance. The room was nice with great amenities, though a bit pricey for the service provided. but price seems to be the norm in Venice. We had the worst possible weather, and to make matters worse, the nearest departure dock was after a long flight of stairs, so we had to drag and carry our luggage in the rain. Upon arrival, we got to know that there were no elevators or luggage service, and since our room was on the second floor with high stairs, we had to carry everything by ourselves.”
“Good spot for short visit in Venice. Located just next to the water bus stop from the airport and leaving to the other islands and locations in Venice. It is located as part of the church/hostel - we've booked "Superior" room, and it is separate from the main hostel, with separate entry, two story place. One queen bed and two singles. Breakfast option is simple, coffee and croissant arranged in nearby restaurant and it wasn't good - they said we can't sit outside as a hotel quests if we will not pay extra. Not something you expect. All in all - good option for short in and out in Venice from/to airport.”
“Excellent stay, we stayed for 2 nights and have no complaints. - 23 min walk from the termini - great room view - great breakfast voucher, located just around the corner -There are stairs, but if you fear stairs avoid Venice”
