Ai Boteri

Just cash-payment possible.

Heater in room just after asking for it.

Contact to staff rarely in person possible, but via cellphone.

All in all a very "rustic" stay.

Okay if you just need a place to sleep and ise the bathrooms

Ai Boteri was a pretty good hostel, if a little bit expensive. We were in Venice for only one night, and so the price was okay for that. Our biggest issue was that we couldn't check in until 2pm, so we were stuck carrying our bags around from 10am until 2. I think that it could help if they permitted people to drop their bags off.

Horrible.. they just take the profit they can...

We can’t Waite to retun to Venice , and this is our third time at Ai Boteri , very cental and very good prices and all that in the middle of the action thank you guys

We Where very happy with Our stay in this property, the owner is very nice and answered all our questions very easily our room was clean and has all what we need can’t beat the location of this hostel

We where in the hostel in full lockdown downtown but we enjoyed a lot our stay all safety measure are guaranteed by the management good job and look forward to be back as soon as possible

We loved our stay in a Very central Area of the city with all shopd restaurants bars...all action is around.

Central and clean hostel, i would love to stay more time

It is a very nice place to stay for its rare, specially its location.

Almost 20 minutes for the check-in. The guy didn’t believe on my reservation that included private dathroom even if I had with me the official email from the website. He tried to sell me another room with another price saying that he didn't have any other room available. At the end, I’ve asked to call the owner and, voila! The room appears. dirty room and no wi-fi available.

We loved our stay there, and we loved venice and we hope to be back as soon as possible unique City that everyone should visit at least one in your life

We where there in the law season however we’ve mat a lot of great people, the location can’t be better minute from Rialto Bridge and San Mark square very raccomanded

In the very heart of the City center minutes away from Rialto Bridge and San Marco square full of shops in the area the room was clean very historic ambiance they could do more attention on the cleaning but generally was very good

I like location and the Cats and theTerrace

THE worst hostel I've ever been for sure!Be careful Ai Botteri and Backpackers hostels it's in the same thing-"hostel", in the same building with the same stuff-reception!

The reception is not 24 7!

There were no lockers in the room that I have been!

Air condition is only in some rooms!

Bad cleanliness!

Αnd....Although there were no signs about the hours that the outdoor public terace could be used they forced me with a military way at 10:00 to leave the place because the owner wanted to sleep and not make noise although it was only me and just having a cigarette and no noise at all!!!

Pay a little more and get yourself a desent hostel in Venice!

Nice and clean hostel in a beautiful building, perfect location. Quite clean and nice friendly staff, a bit of miscommunication when i arrived but everything was solved immediately. Highly recommended

Bed bugs !!! Too bad, great hostel, great location, kitchen

But I was badly bitten by bedbugs,

first thought mosquitoes, bed bugs are worse.

Apparently you do not mind! On my information there was

no opinion. I think that's a mess. Let the people

stab. - It would be a pity a good hostel

If you are interested in Stitches then switch rooms and review by Hostels.com

accordingly.

I mostly did not like the rooms because of windows. it was impossible to breathe for me. There was not open window. And the most important thing for me is kitchen in the hostel. But there was not even tea pot,and it was not clean. There were not plugs around by bed so I could not charge my phone as well. One plug was away from my bed. I could not say staff was friendly but it was okay. This hostel was okay but not good.

The hotel was a total scam, I paid for a private room and they gave me a shared bathroom, when I claimed they did not have more rooms available and they gave us a room that apparently was not in service, the bathroom was dirty with hairs in the shower and toilet, the air did not work, the towel dirty, and in the bathroom there was a leak so the floor was full of water, which had also caused the floor to look sharp. We said we were going to call the police for the scam and we were told that the next day the manager would meet us and we would return some money, the manager never came. It's the worst hotel I've ever been to.

The kitchen & bathroom are dirty, the AC is dripping water all night, the breakfast and towels are not included, unlike what's announced on the website, and most of all I left my bag at the reception and when I came back topick it up, nobody was at reception (lunch break) so I waited 15 minutes in the street and missed my train to leave Venezia. The girl who showed up didn't speak English

This place is poorly-managed, run-out and to avoid at all costs in Venezia. Bad experience !

We loved the terrace that the hostel has it’s a big plus

It was better than I thought...spacious rooms. Kitchen could be better equipped but you probably do not want people to cook there. Good location.

The place is trully awful. It's dirty and stuffy. Bathrooms on our floor had no hot water most of the time. If you are counting on cooking there to save money DON'T. The kitchen and fridge are very dirty. There are not many utensils. Everything (pans, door handles, floors, tables)just needs a good scrub. Blankets are old and smelly and I didn't dare to walk barefoot on the carpets. Beds are super saggy, so it felt like sleeping in a hammock. Our double bed was in fact two singles put together, so not really great for a couple. Bathrooms are bare and dirty and some don't even have a lock. Shabby and dirty place. I would not recommend it at all to anybody.

We where there in Venice for the Biennale d’arte we didn’t spend a lot of time in the hostel but I can confirm the great location of the hostel and it’s absolutely clean.

Great time in Venice , the Biennale was a great experience we didn’t spend a lot in the hostel but our room was very clean very happy with our trip

Just right for my three-night stay in Venice. Love the location, friendly staff members, and price. I wish breakfast was included and that laundry facilities were available, but it was still a great place to crash.

are you looking for a hostel in the very heart of Venice?? this is the place, even if you pay a litle bit more but it end up saving a lot of money

Very good location!!!! 3 min walk to Ponte di Rialto. We booked a private room with a private bathroom. It was clean. Old cozy building. Very friendly and helpful staff! Grazie mille!

One of the best located hostel in Venice, in the middle of all actions with a very resonable prices

The hostel was excellent. Everything neat, the bed was cozy, the bathroom really clean and new. Enough space in the room, great view from the window. We were given keys, so it was possible to come at any time. Also the location could not be better, just in the middle of everything, yet there was no noise. The best choice for a very reasonable price, it made our holiday much better. And What's more, there was also a very friendly hostel cat to cuddle with.

Love this hostel 2 minutes from Rialto bridge and international atmospher

For us looking for a hostel in Venice cheap and Central we thought that is impossibile, but after looking and looking I found this simple, clean hostel who has all what we ahere looking for.

We where very happy with our stay this hostel in Venice probably has the best location ever It's in the middle of all actions and minutes walking from the train station ( of the old City) and all other monuments

Perhaps acceptance of electronic payment could elevate an otherwise excellent experience.

Otherwise a pleasant and delightful stay. Clean, enjoyable and professional.

very happy for our choice, very welcoming staff, great location Near Rialto Bridge, Reccomanded

In the middle of the City Center in the middle of the action but still a very quiet area recommended

I had an amazing stay, thank you guys everything was great!!

That’s what we where looking for clean central simple accommodation and that’s what we got, the staff could be nicer but it’s ok. Top Area di discover Venice

I got awful bedbugs from this place. Gross and dirty. Called to ask for my money back and no one returned my calls. The electricity turned off while I was there and trying to do work (therefore no WiFi) and the staff was rude in answering simple questions.

very happy with our choice in a central area of Venice (our first night was in Venice Mestre which is 40 minutes away from the City center with all costs of the Buses and Vaporettos

Great property in the heart of Venice, very close to Rialto's bridge and the main points of interest. I had a great time at Ai Boteri, for sure when I'll be back in Venice I'll book here again.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for three nights. The check in was pretty uncomplicated and we were able to store our luggage until we could get to our rooms.

The private double rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable and the shared bathroom was alright (warm water, sufficiently clean).

The stuff was pretty friendly.

I cannot speak about the dorms since we didn't see any of those.

The kitchen is open 24h and there is everything available you could need. It's not very clean though but that's mostly because of the people staying at the hostel themselves.

The balcony was a nice touch. And the Wi-Fi worked most of the time.

We would have liked for someone to answer the hostel phone when we tried to contact them before our arrival. Sadly no one did, which left us a little confused.

The booking action could be easier and a little more transparent.

All in all we enjoyed staying at ai boteri.

it was ok.

all it was ok staff very friendly they have a nice kitchen and terazz.

i will come back

Fantastic location, helpful staff.

A hostel you love to stay at and come back to.
