Reviews of Alloggi Agli Artisti Hostel

12 February 2012 Miu Ling would recommend this property

Liked: I stayed in Alloggi Agli Artisti Hotel in early Feb, so it's a low season and the price was cheap (50 euros/night for a double ensuite). This hotel is in perfect location, which is right next to the train terminal station and near to the bus terminal, ferry stations and supermarkets/a food court. The staff are very helpful - our room's electricity supply was out of order and they moved us to a bigger, nicer room without charging us extra and let us stayed there until we moved out. The breakfast was not fancy, but nice - hot croissants, coffees (of course!), pastries, cereal, juice, all-you-can-eat.

Disliked: The only things to comment are - there is no lift in this hotel so if you have giant, heavy luggages, try to ask for a room in lower floors. And the second is, there are some unpleasant smell around the area near the stairs (my husband thinks there are smell in the room too but I didn't sense that). The last thing is, if you leave your luggages there (after checking out) for the day, they don't have a secure place/storage and you are responsible for any loss.

Liked: The staff was very friendly. Was very pleased there was Air conditioning in my room. Breakfast was great.

Disliked: Hot water is turned off in the evening. i always shower in the evening, so for three nights we took cold showers, very invigorating. Actually cold showers felt good because it was extremely hot and humid that week in Venice.

Liked: Very close to train station (2-3 min walk). Pretty good breakfast.

Disliked: The luggage storage area isn't the most secure; it's just a room that any person staying there can go into.

29 August 2011 Guillermo would recommend this property

Liked: The breakfast. It's excellent.

Disliked: There it says that they have wifi, but you have to pay 5€ an hour to use it, or 15€ a day. It is better simply going to the McDonalds, they have free wifi ;)

Liked: None

Disliked: I booked the hostel three days in advance. I booked a single room for three nights. When I got there, the staff told me that they haven't received my deposit so they canceled my room. I wasn't sure at that time cuz I was using an international credit card to pay and I thought there was something wrong with the transit. I did receive the confirmation email from Hostelbookers and I argued with them. They sent me to a individual apartment by the train station, and the condition was really poor, without internet and hot water. When I finally got internet, I checked my bank account. The hostel did charge me 18 dollars deposit. They resold my room and cheated me! Never try to book the room in Alloggi Agli Artisti Hostel. If the same thing happened, you may end up paying a deposit without getting anything. Plus you may have to running around the town with big suite cases just trying to find available rooms!

Liked: the hostels is very close to train station which was very useful. The directions provided by the hostel on the website were definitely handy. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and the bathrooms were clean and well maintained. The breakfast was included in price and was very good. Also, I was pleased that they stored our luggage for no additional fee on our last day in venice. It totally met and in some aspects exceeded my expectations. I would recommend this hostel to people who would like a clean easy place to stay for a reasonable price.

Disliked: We booked a room with private bathrooms and we received a shared bathroom accomodation. However, we ended up with a larger room for a reduced price and had no problems sharing the bathrooms with other guests so everything worked out fine.

07 June 2011 Ann would recommend this property

Liked: The location was great. The beds were relatively comfortable. The staff were friendly and always at the reception desk. Good price for the location.

Disliked: There were mosquitos in the room constantly - even with the windows kept shut. There were also dead mosquitos smeared on the walls from past travelers that should have been wiped down. The sheets did not appear especially clean, nor did the floor. There was only one bathroom per floor and the toilet and shower were together, so you had to wait for someone to stop showering to use even the toilet. It was not convenient for so many people.

05 June 2011

Liked: Decent location, breakfast was good, 24 hr reception.

Disliked: I spent the first 15 minutes there killing ants in our room and discovered tons of hair. Rooms are small as are the bathrooms. Too many people for too few bathrooms. Internet very expensive, and only available for laptops only.

18 May 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Situated just seconds away from the Grand Canal and shopping district. Staff was very friendly and helpful, especially the gentleman during the day at the reception.

Disliked: The only thing that was not great was the noise level in the hotel. We were in a room on the ground floor. If staying there again I would ask to be on an upper floor or at the end of the coridor.
