3 Nothing special but would stay here again
I stayed here in February as I wanted to visit Venice during Carnevale. Venice is only one-and-a-half hours away by train. The hostel had just reopened after being closed during the winter so the staff were a little disorganised and not everything (internet, microwave) was available yet. However, the staff were very accommodating and allowed me to use their laptop computer so that I could access the internet. Rooms were very nice with bunk beds (the fancy kind) and wardrobe/lockers things. Warm blankets and ceiling artwork. Bathrooms were absolutely freezing but clean and adequate. The hostel provides a simple breakfast with warm milk for the cereal which comes out of the coffee machine but that's ok. The hostel is certainly nothing special but it is nice, clean, simple, and cheap and close enough to Venice if you don't want to deal with the expensive accommodation there. Would stay again.
