Only one night quick stay because of plans. I cant give an honest review for how long we stayed. Check-in was easy and breakfast was good.

Excellent only problem is the how expensive the boat is to get in and out of the Island - 25€ per day or 9.50 per trip but the hostel is excellent and the area very nice.

Keys were unavailable that was quite unfortunate, but staff did their best to ensure minimal disruption. Overall would stay again!

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.

Very friendly staff willing to answer questions and help out. The hostel was nice itself too (I’ve stayed in much worse) and for me, in an easy location to commute both day and night from mainland Venice and Lido (for the film festival). Would defo comeback.

The staff was great and available when needed. The location was breath taking. Eating while watching the sun set on Venice was a memorable experience. The public transit ferry dock was very close. I had a 7 day transit pass for the city which I found very useful.

Loved that it wasn’t on a tourist island. Very quiet with lovely locals everywhere. Rooms were very tight/dark and there was no kitchen for hostel guests to use. The bar food downstairs wasn’t great but the environment was spacious, welcoming and easy to hang out in.

Common facilities are great but rooms are very cramped and there's no where in the bathroom to put your things while you shower

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

It’s a great place to stay, nice decoration, great and very informative members of the staff. In my opinion, this hostel has a slightly lower price compared to others because you have to get a ferry boat to get there. The ONLY disadvantage is that it’s located in a island and you have to pay a ferry do get from/to. The pass I bought costed me about 20 euros and was valid for 24 hours. It might not be a disadvantage for some as I could use this pass to ride boats all over venice’s canals. These boats are kind of public transport that takes you all over the city.

Better than the reviews

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.

Beautiful location, design, staff, but sleeping…!

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!

We stayed here 10 years and the atmosphere was far better as the bar area seemed to busier (probably due to pricing) and there wasn't security inside making sure that people were not drinking after 11pm
