Value for money comparatively
The room didn’t have private w.c. and bathroom. But overall the beds were comfortable and clean.
The windows didn’t have net, so if left open there were a lot of mosquitoes. There was a breakfast room which could be used by guests. The staff were friendly and location was accessible to main bus station, Rialto and some other important places by foot in less than 10 min

This place offers dormitory style rooms with shared bathrooms at a very affordable price. My private room was small with a twin-sized bed and a sink. There was no AC but they provided a fan. The staff was very friendly and helpful and will hold your luggage after checkout. This place is very accessible and only 10 min walk away from train station.
Downside was that the office closes and they lock up around midnight, so you need to check-in or get back by that time. I had a late train and luckily I communicated with them and got checked in just in time. Bathroom didn't have a lock and no bath soap/shampoo.
Overall, an excellent place for solo travelers on a budget! Not super comfortable or luxurious.

As a young solo traveler, I highly recommend Ostello Domus. The front staff Rebecca & Angela were very welcoming. They provided me with places for me to explore and even gave me a map with personal notes on it. I will Definitely recommend this place for any travelers I know going to Venice.

Great stay
I loved the AC in the room. I also loved the fact that there is luggage storage but you don’t have to use it necessarily. I liked that there were no bunk beds. My bed was tilted so I didn’t sleep the best but I would absolutely stay here again.

The room service and the keys
We where very happy with the hospitality, but not with room service we stayed 4 nights and not once the room was cleaned. Also we would suggest that for the room keys to be more protected. For example we just said the room number and without any questions they just handed the keys to us and for that reason we didn’t leave anything with value in the room we didn’t feel safe, it would be better for the receptionist who gives the keys to verify with id card or any other verification that is your room.

I have limited qualms with the locations or venue itself, but the idea that we cannot return post-0030, pre-0700 each night is absolutely absurd. Put a code on the door. With all of the shows and opportunities Venice presents, requiring people to come back to their apartment at some time is archaic. The sun doesn’t set until 10PM in the summer.

aunque el edificio en sí está viejo por dentro, la estancia fue cómoda, el personal amable, lo que no me gustó fue que cierran el hostal y si no llegas antes de esa hora te quedas en la calle ya que no hay recepción 24hrs.

Hôtel bien situé, proche entrée de Venise avec gare et bus et parking voitures, et proche centre. Personnel sympathique. Rooftop avec vue sur la ville. Cuisine à disposition.
Mais chambre très basique, lits ne paraissant pas solides, sol de la chambre et des salles de bains salent. Hôtel bruyant entre les portes qui claquent et le rooftop à côté de notre chambre.

Mi è piaciuto molto l'ostello perché comodo e piacevole, inoltre si trova in un punto ottimo per raggiungere diverse attrazioni artistiche e storiche.
Non mi è piaciuto molto il servizio perché è stato poco chiaro su asciugamani grandi per corpo e doccia.

Really nice place, super close to the bus station which was helpful. Check-in was very easy, elevator was broken when I was there but normally there is one. Terrace was the best part, though, nice view over Venice, great place to have breakfast, a little cooler than the rooms which were fine but didn't have AC. Would definitely stay again!

Noise from the road.
Big windows are great but due to the noise from vehicles passing by below and the road being copperstones, it was very nosiy hence my roommates closed the windows and it can be bad as there are 6 of us in the room ! Location is good.

It was the cheapest hotel I found in Venice.
They lock the doors from midnight to 7:00 am. Our flight got delayed and we arrived at the airport after midnight, we called and the receptionist said she wouldn’t open the door until 7:00 am so we had to sleep at the airport because all the hotels were sold out
For 2 days it was ok but more than that it would be bad.
The location is good , close to the station and walking distance to attractions.
There is no ac so it was uncomfortable to sleep and the beds were not good.
