Generator Hostel Photos and Video

From: Generator Hostel Venice (Ostello Venezia)

The Generator Hostel Venice, a.k.a. the Ostello Venezia, is on the island of La Giudecca, facing the Giudecca Canal and Venice's centro storico or historic center.

The hostel's lobby would do justice to a four-star hotel, with plenty of seating and a design motif that honors the building's history as a granary.

---

 

There's even a pool table where you can attempt to hustle your fellow guests.

---

 

The bar is open in the evenings, but you can buy snacks from vending machines at any hour of the day. (From 7 to 10 a.m., an inexpensive buffet breakfast is served.)

---

Accommodations include dorms and private guestrooms--including this room under the hostel's roof beams, which offers dramatic views of passing boat traffic and central Venice.
