The 5 Best Hostels in Venice (Updated 2025)

"If you prefer privacy over dorms, I found Combo Venezia feels more like a boutique hotel than a backpacker hostel: there are no dorm rooms but affordable private rooms and fully furnished apartments in a beautifully restored historic convent centrally located in Centro Storico. The property includes a bar-restaurant with an outdoor terrace along the canal, 24-hour reception, a huge cloistered courtyard, a communal guest kitchen (and kitchens in the apartment-style rooms), laundry facilities, and clean, comfy modern rooms all with en-suite bathrooms and good water pressure — overall you get a lot for the price in a central, canalside setting." - Matthew Kepnes
