Nice rooms in a quiet area. No air condition or mosquito nets in the windows. The only problem was that my bed had bed bugs.

This place is wonderful. The staff spoke english well enough and it is a good price. The only thing is it said towels were included, but they did not have any. would definitely come stay here again.

The bathroom and toilet were disgusting and had a horrible smell. Bathroom floors and shower were dirty. It says it has kitchen facilities but customers aren't allowed to use them. Wifi has been down for 'a while'. Walk from station is not 6 Mins, more like 20 mins. Bad place, don't recommend!

The hostel is in the north of Venice and pretty easy to access from the Canal Grande. The staff was friendly and had some good tips for spending the stay. However, our room looked like the housekeeping didn't spend more than a minute to clean up, the bathroom and the floor of our 2 bed room were not really enjoyable.

Difficult to find as behind the large church and following the street numbers is confusing. However once there it is great and very convenient to everything.

If you are a first timer in the city - you won't find there in 8 minutes. Well maybe if you are fast with your feet and luggages + know how to read the map. Those streets, bridges and canals are kinda confusing. Remember to get a MAP!
WiFi didn't work at my three days visit to Abazia, not once.
The room (1person/private) was OK but kinda filthy. Dusty, moldy shower curtain, ants, moskitos and last but not least: blueish, moldy fungus, sea weedish thing on shower hose (in that part which flows the water). It was disgusting.
Very plain, NOTHING TO DO, but to sleep and do laundry by hand in my room. No computers/internet on the common rooms. Common rooms.
Something positive about this place: position equals peace & quiet + not that much those loud American teenagers (sorry, don't wanna generalise).

We had a great three days with "shlip shlips" of the water in a room with a lovely canal view. The room was clean and tidy. Don't know if it'd be hot during summer since it has no airco but for the warmth of september, can say it was cool. Not easy to find the place. They must describe more briefly. To be in a very central and quiet location is not something easily found in Venice. Walked to the train station with backpacks with my girlfriend in 15 minutes in the morning for our departure.

It is a bit difficult to find because the numbers on the street continue to go up when you turn the corner, and we didn't know that. It is really more like a 25 minute walk from the train station. Staff was nice and friendly. The room was very nice with two beds and a nice private bathroom. One mattress was excellent and one was pretty bad. There is no air conditioning, but the climate is cooler than Rome and we were really fine without it. The locks on the doors don't seem to be the most secure, and we handed the key in at reception every time we left the hostel. All in all, I would certainly recommend this place and will use again.

Strongly recommended to all! A clean, neat hostel in a quiet cosy place - far from the bustle, but close to the centre of Venice.

Me and my friend stayed there for 2 nights. Altough hostel staff could not find the reservation we were lodged fast. The room, private ensuite, was quite big and clean as well as bathroom. The only thing bothered is that the room was not cleaned every day.
Hostel is situated really close to the city center. For us it took 20 min on foot to get to the main square.
Taking into account prices of Venice hotels, "Hostel Abazia" is a really nice place to sleep for those who is searching for budget accomodation!

It's a dorm, university.
In a very obscure part of town.
But the rooms are clean, somewhat isolated from everyone else.
Staff does speak some english, but don't expect a conversation.
Oh yeah, and the showers aren't that great.

This is the best hostel I've ever stayed at! My room faced a canal and had a great view. It's in a nice, quiet neighborhood which isn't super touristy, but it's easy to get to the sights.

Great little place, my reservation said it would be a shared bathroom, and to my surprise, we had our own private bathroom!
Staff doesn't speak much english, but enough to get by.
There was a bit of miss-communication and they couldn't find our booking at first, but it all worked out.
great location! it is nice to actually stay in venice and not a train trip out.
