This hostel offers a very pleasant stay with a fantastic location on Giudecca Island, making it easy to access central San Marco. The views from the hostel are breathtaking, and the atmosphere is lively with great evening events. However, it could benefit from a kitchen and better bathroom availability on some floors.

The room I stayed in was a bit cramped, but it was clean and comfortable overall. The view from the window made up for the small space.

The location is incredible, just a 5-minute vaporetto ride to central San Marco, with plenty of shops and restaurants close by on the island.

I had a mostly enjoyable stay with a few minor hiccups. The hostel has a modern feel and comfortable communal areas, making it a great spot to meet fellow travelers. While the room was generally fine, the lack of complete privacy in the bathrooms and some service issues detracted from the experience. Overall, I would recommend it for its value and pleasant atmosphere.

Rooms

Located on Giudecca, the hostel provided easy access to transportation to the main attractions. The ferry service was frequent and enjoyable for sightseeing.

Dining

The dining area was comfortable and meals were reasonably priced, but service was slow and the kitchen seemed understaffed during peak hours.

Facilities

The common areas, including the bar and lounge, were well-designed and inviting. However, the policy against self-catering was a bit disappointing.

7.8/10

Staying at Generator Hostel in Venice was a lovely experience overall. The location is very convenient, being just a short ferry ride away from the main attractions. The hostel itself is modern and clean, but I did find the noise from other guests a bit disruptive during the night. Also, while the bar had a great atmosphere, I was slightly disappointed with the breakfast options for the cost. Still, it's a great place to meet fellow travelers.

Generator is on Giudecca, a quick 5-10 minute Vaporetto ride from St. Mark's Square, making it very convenient for exploring.

The breakfast options were limited and the quality didn't quite match the price, which was a bit disappointing.

The hostel is modern and clean, with well-maintained bathrooms and a nice bar area, though more communal spaces would enhance the social vibe.

7.4/10

I had a mixed experience at the hostel. On one hand, it's clean with a nice breakfast spread and the common areas are well-designed, but I faced issues with noise levels and some quirks in the facilities. The location on Giudecca, while a bit far from the main train station, offers easy access to the water taxis. Overall, I might come back, but there are definitely some drawbacks to consider.

Rooms

The rooms were clean, but I had trouble with the layout since there were beams that made it easy to bump your head.

5.6/10

The hostel is clean with great communal areas, and while it’s quiet, it’s conveniently just a few stops away from St Mark's Square via vaporetto. However, it lacks a communal kitchen which makes meals more expensive, and my experience was marred when some of my belongings were taken without proper follow-up from the staff. Overall, it's decent but not without serious downsides.

Rooms

7.0

The room I stayed in was clean, but I had issues with the temperature, especially on the top bunk.

Service

5.0

The staff were okay but handled my situation poorly when my belongings went missing and didn't follow up adequately.

Location

6.0

While the location isn't on the main island, it's a short boat ride to Venice, which can be costly and time-consuming.

Dining

5.0

The breakfast was overpriced considering the quality, and there was no option for a communal kitchen, impacting meal costs.
