Much more than a youth hostel, here is a colourful and warm place to meet people or just to sip a drink.

Former grain warehouses converted into a youth hostel 65 years ago. Design decor and cosy interiors for a "hostel" renovated in 2013, which has established itself as one of the most pleasant and trendy in Veneto. To sleep in one of its pretty dormitories or double rooms, you'll need a youth hostel card (which you can buy on site). Happy hour from 6.30pm to 8.30pm in the bar area. Shared breakfast on rustic tables. Book well in advance, as the Generator attracts backpackers from all over the world.

Bonne auberge de jeunesse, juste les chambres assez bruyantes arrivés à une certaine heure, et l'état des douches et toilettes. Sinon c'est bien placé, et il y a une bonne ambiance.

水上バスの駅から近く景色は最高だけど、それ以外が最低すぎる。
まず、ユースホステルなのに一階の共用スペースに食品の持ち込みができない。
館内のレストランで買った物以外は持ち込めないのに、まともに美味しそうなものが置いていない。
節約の為にユースホステルに泊まってんのに、なんで高くて美味しくもない物に金を払わなければならないのか?
そして今まで沢山ホステルに泊まってきたけど、部屋が一番狭い、ただ利益を上げる為に無理矢理ベッドを敷き詰めているので、とても居心地悪い。
極め付けに防音が全くなされてないので、1回の共用スペースが深夜まで爆音で音楽を流し続けるので寝れません。
添付した動画はそれぞれ深夜0時と0時半です。
少し静かにして欲しいと受付に言いましたが、取り合ってくれない。
「あなたにも話せば分かる」って言われたけど、夜の0時半に議論をしたい馬鹿がどこにいる?

安くて魅力的ですが、多少お金を多く払っても他のホテルに泊まった方がいい。

It's close to the water bus station and the view is amazing, but everything else is awful.
First of all, even though it's a youth hostel, you can't bring food into the common area on the first floor.
You can only bring in things you buy at the restaurant in the building, and there's nothing that looks tasty.
I'm staying at youth hostels to save money, so why should I pay for expensive and not tasty things?
Also, I've stayed in a lot of hostels, but this one has the smallest room, and it's very uncomfortable because they've just crammed the beds in there just to make a profit.
To top it off, there's no soundproofing at all, so the common area keeps playing blaring music until late at night, making it impossible to sleep.
The attached videos are taken at midnight and 12:30am respectively.
I asked the receptionist to be a little quieter, but she didn't take me seriously.
She said, "I'll explain if I talk to you," but what kind of idiot wants to argue at 12:30 at night?

It's cheap and attractive, but I'd recommend staying at another hotel even if it costs a little more.

hostel is extremely scammy. personally got up-charged and saw other guests get up-charged up to 50% in hidden fees. Dealing with reception and hostel staff was extremely difficult, website claims to be welcoming to all but the staff are extremely condescending to native english speakers and especially women. while dealing with the staff about a miscommunication on their part, they turned to each other and made rude remarks in Italian (especially sexist ones at that) not realizing they were being understood. throughout my stay I constantly heard them talking bad of other guests and making rude remarks.

Female travelers please DO NOT stay here, they are rude and will put you on the street at a moments notice if they choose to cancel your reservation which may happen (please read other reviews). Extremely unstable management with anger management issues and a no refund policy even if its their fault. There is no point trying to advocate for yourself if you are not/do not speak Italian. Unclean, unkind, unsafe.

I am a very experienced Hostel Dweller. Not so much in Italy, but in other European countries. I've been to a couple in Milano and in Pisa, but never in Venice.

The one in Venice was quite nice, even though I was only there for just one night. As an Italian Citizen who wishes to experience actually living in Italy, it is really fun to stay in Hostels, and I am also sort of a Digital Nomad.

The only real criticism I have about this place is that they could use more electrical outlets in the common area.

Maybe that will attract people who will wish to also live in Venice. Employees of the hostel get a great deal for lodging. They must really enjoy living in Venice.
