Unfortunately (or fortunately, depends how you see it) they don't have mixed dorms so you will be accommodated in a whole male or whole female dorm. The price for a bed in the hostel starts from 21EUR, not too bad for Venice ;) Enjoy Venezia, the gondolas, the food and the romance!

On the second day of my stay I was cleaning my camera gear and got a last second call for a business meeting. I ran.

I didn't take advantage of their restaurant but judging from the smiling faces the food had to be good!

Large bathroom for Italian standards. Clean facilities. Breakfast croissants are good if you get up early enough to get them (they seem to have a limited supply). Cons: The receptionist was rude and unwilling to tell us anything about the city or how to get anywhere. Basic expectation for a receptionist at a lodging place. She spoke basic English she was just plain rude. Also, there is no staff after 3pm so they will not keep your luggage in the afternoon/evening. Location: you have to cross the city to get to the tourist places. If it wasn't for the staff, it would be great value for the money, if you do not mind walking.

Little tricky finding the main entrance, but Venice itself is somewhat of a maze! Nice, clean and cozy room with a great view over a square and restaurant. Very old-timey style in the lobby and room with Italian artwork and fixtures-- it had so much personality and fits right in with the city. Great price for the location as well, one of the most affordable in the area. Highly recommend!

We booked this spot on Hotels.com, just because it was extremely cheap. Basically, we had to choose…read morebetween a janky, semi-gross spot in the center for cheap (Citta), or spend more for something nicer. We were only staying one night before we switched hotels, so we chose Citta di Milano. So this place is extremely hard to get to (like everything else in Venice). Once you're there, it's definitely not much to look at. HOWEVER, the check-in guy was the HOTTEST MAN I've ever seen in my life! Seriously, he was a classically good looking Italian man. Anyway, back to the hotel. The lobby is tiny, you have to climb up a bunch of stairs and the public toilets were kind of gross. Our room was kind of grim (yellow bedsheets, plain bathroom, old furniture) and was located on the 2nd floor. All in all, I was kind of disappointed with the room but sucked it up, because we were only there for one night. HOWEVER! We were traveling in March and didn't realize that there are mosquitos everywhere, but it's not time to turn on the air conditioner. On top of that, the staff had the heater in the bathroom on FULL BLAST and wouldn't turn it off when we asked. The result is an extremely stuffy room and disgusting room. We tried to make the best of it, but no dice. After a nap, we went downstairs to ask for a fan or something. The lady behind the counter spoke 0 English, and her solution was to change our rooms. The result? We had a master suite on the 1st floor! Lesson learned: If you stay at the Citta, stay in one of the meh rooms on the 2nd floor, then wait awhile and ask to switch to the first floor where it's possible to turn off the bathroom heaters. Absolute score, but I wouldn't stay here unless I had another one of those fancy rooms again.

We were on the third floor in room 51. We were concerned that there might be noise from the street, but it was fine at night. The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly, especially Veronica at the front desk and Ken in the breakfast room.

I would definitely stay here again.

I booked Murano Palace for both but ended up cancelling the second night and going elsewhere. Basically it is a small, family-run place that is much more like a B&B than a hotel. The owner wanted us to call when we were at the airport but that would have been expensive, so we just emailed and said we were on course for our arrival time. You see, they don't staff the building except when they know people are coming. So that's awkward. We got to the hotel about half an hour early and the door was locked, so we buzzed and waited and waited and buzzed and knocked and nothing. Finally I emailed and said we were waiting and the door was opened for us. There's no lift and the stairs a bit awkward when you're dragging luggage and there's no offer of help. The lights have to be pushed on every time (and you need a special key to have them on in your room). The lady who checked us in was nice but didn't really speak English. Our room was not the cheapest in the hotel but wasn't a canal view - it was, in fact, right next to the reception desk. The window opened up onto nothing, except the kitchen window - so they could see right in our room if we didn't have the curtains drawn. And it was warm but the air conditioning wasn't on so we wanted the window open... not great. But the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom large. The TV is tiny and doesn't have any English channels. There is a minibar with a few free items which is nice. When we checked in we had to decide what time we wanted breakfast the next day, which was annoying. As it was, we didn't much want to get up for breakfast after a terrible sleep - the walls are paper-thin, and there was a late check-in, and people talking in the corridor throughout the night (not at all loudly but they might as well have been right in our room). So we traipsed to our unwanted breakfast and met the male owner, who was friendly but a bit overbearing. As we don't drink coffee we might as well not have bothered - we were each given a warm bread roll and there were a few pastries but that was pretty much it. But that's to be expected, and Italians don't really do breakfast. Long story short - if you like the B&B feeling, want to feel 'part of the family', and have good earplugs, you'll love it here. We didn't.
