Fun spot to stay for a few days. The bathrooms are shared and are a bit tight, but for the price you can't complain. Definitely a unique experience if you have never stayed in a Hostel before. The coffee/drink bar was great, good area to mingle as well. Note, you do have to get there by water taxi, so be prepared to buy a ticket or day pass upon arrival.

Generator is a fun place, well designed and at a perfect location for exploring Venice. The people who work there are very kind and helpful and the common spaces are appealing. Good breakfasts and snacks at any time. Sleeping in a large dormitory is the deal here, but my dormitory was very stuffy unless you knew to open the window wide before bedtime. The lockers under the beds worked well, and so did the phone charging plug by the bed, but the light by my bed was gone and was never replaced. The shared bathrooms and showers were good, but need fans to clear the steam, and need to be cleaned more than once a day. The Saturday night disco dance from 10 pm -2am was very loud and even shook the floor of the dormitories. Even noise cancelling headphones couldn’t shut it out. So— lots of great things, and a few that I would rather not have to deal with!

スタッフは色々察してくれるのでありがたいです。ただ 4つあるシャワーのうちシャワへが一つない(しかも狭い) トイレの鍵は全部壊れてる(意図的？) 洗面台が2つしかないので朝混むなどどうしてもドミトリーの割に共用部が貧弱な感じがします。しかしベネチア市街に近い場所でこのお値段はやはり安い。背に腹は替えられぬと言うことでしょうか。

I really enjoy my 4 day stay here.. the property itself was very nice for a hostel, the staff Sarah and luchea was super kind and helpful, the others that work the desk was nice alsooooo.. I stayed in 201 and it was clean every day and air conditioning which was a plus…the ladies shower was super gross , the shower needs to be beached down to remove all the mold 👎 Other than the shower, this is a great place away from tourist crowds, very chilled atmosphere, close to waterbus, market, dining, attractions etc.. I would highly recommend and if I’m in Venice again I would stay here again … Overall good vibes and the lounge area is very cool pool table, games , reading area, bar etc.. this is in a great location. I had my coffee every morning outside by the water and that was most lovely.. overall great place to stay.. oh by the way this was my 1st time staying in a hostel

I read a lot of reviews, many w negative comments, like slow internet. I enjoyed Generator, clean rooms, easy set up, big play room w bar and food and good internet. The biggest issue is that it’s not on the big Venice island, which means figuring out the vaporettos to the spot. Not hard, plenty of boats and doesn’t limit things, but a slight inconvenience. But the view at night is amazing.

My room was described as "5 single bunk beds" but the room was of "6 bunk beds 2 single beds". When I asked the receptionist and told they are giving wrong information, she just said "yes we are"... She was quite rude. While booking on Expedia, it said "breakfast included" but then it wasn't and my receipt didn't show this. Another friend had the same problem. So much misinformation.. Their main concept is giving you a bed but not a good experience. Bathrooms are super dirty (even sink is not doing its job to keep itself clean :D). Worst part was, they checked in an alcoholic guy in the middle of the night who smelled so much that they obviously knew he is an alcoholic. He came to our room at 5 am and opened the light, we were all awake! They kept this guy, but I changed my room. I just don't like the way they treat you, like a room full of animals that they want to charge as much as they can.

Scenic Giudecca waterfront setting with a nearby waterbus stop, offering easy access to major sights and a quieter atmosphere away from crowds. The trade-off is relying on paid ferries, which some find costly or inconvenient.
