Domus Civica is very conveniently situated -- only ten minutes' walk from Santa Lucia train station and the Piazzale Roma coach station. Follow the detailed instructions that are sent to you when booking. This imposing building is easy to get to in an otherwise complex city.
From October to May, it is a hall of residence for girls. From June to September, backpackers of both sexes are warmly greeted under a large crucifix -- and let's face it, that is not an everyday experience
The hostel boasts more than eighty high-ceiling rooms, from single to three beds maximum. Toilets and showers, situated in the middle of each corridor, are well looked after. Some rooms have a view on the canal, so you get to sleep to the boats’ noises. Common rooms are not conducive to mingling but in line with the rest, they are functional. There is a free Internet connection and satellite TV and space to leave your luggage. There's a place to have a discounted breakfast across the street.
Some might find it all a bit grim, especially the doors closing at 12:30 a.m., but nightlife in Venice is not especially buoyant. This no-frills place definitely gets the thumb up for being a sure value for money.
