Combo, Venezia

Gian hosted the most fantastic birthday party. The staff and food and wines were superb. We booked it over a year ago from the UK and visited briefly in February, but the rest was trust till we turned up! The room looked lovely, and plenty of people to help and serve. LOVED IT. I don't think Gian expected a 65th party to be quite so lively but they're are used to a rave 🤣 several guests stayed and loved it too. The bar was a favourite pre event venue for many. Prices best in Venice. Thank you Combo people.

I wanted to review this place as not too many people have done so. Really liked it! My son and I had a loft and it was very comfortable for us. Extremely clean, good breakfast and such kind coffee shop staff. There is a laundry which worked terrific. The beds were very comfortable. Thank you everyone who worked there. The location is right by the ferry.

There is much to write about. The architecture and design are excellent, with impressive proportions and contrasting finishes that blend raw and refined elements beautifully. The hotel boasts fabulous spaces, including a terrace, library and study room. Last but certainly not least, the personnel are exceptionally pleasant and accommodating.

When looking for an accommodation in Venice we wanted a quiet location off the beaten path but accessible to the rest of the city. The Cannaregio neighborhood came highly recommended and we couldn’t agree more. Combo Venezia’s website is completely accurate with its images and descriptions. The rooms are so spacious for our family of 6, our 3 teenage boys in one room and my husband and I with our 5 year old in our room. The rooms have A/C which was amazing in August. The common seating areas and dining options are plentiful and immaculately maintained. |The Pros: the location is safe, quiet, accessible to the Vaporetto stop in a 1 min walk. Close to Murano, easily accessed from the Marco Polo Airport and the Train Station. There is a large grocery store just down the walk and over a bridge. The kitchen and bathroom in our units were great. Breakfast was varied, fresh and delicious. |The Cons: there were very few negatives about this property. If I had to choose any it would be that I wish that the smoking guests would not be allowed to smoke on the main walkway when you enter the building. The first room the teens were in had a sewage smell and they were very accommodating in moving them to a non smelly room a few doors down. |Tips:|Parents with small children under 4/5 years, the building is accessible with elevators and stroller friendly but the canal view units with a loft have a very steep central staircase to access the sleeping level and no safety features for kids like gates, window guards or outlets covered. ||We can’t wait to be guests again in the future.

Great mix of modern comfort and old-school charm (it’s an old monastery) located in a cool spot away from the busiest areas but still close enough to the attractions (if that’s your speed). The rooms are kind of basic but in a nice way however twin and double rooms could have a better layout for sure. There’s a bar, a restaurant and a chill courtyard.

The place to go if you ever need a working space in Venice. 8 euros for a beautiful open working space, 2 espressos, unlimited water and a snack. What a great deal. Sitting at the end of a large table, facing a beautiful courtyard. A few pigeons also walked in though and you may need to wait a bit to get served.

This is a beautiful hostel with great amenities and lovely location. It is perfect for travelling to Murano and Burano and a nice respite from the busy centre during tourist season while still feeling very authentically venetian. HOWEVER, my stay was negatively impacted by the fact that I had to share a locked twin room with a male stranger who proceeded to act completely inappropriately and made me feel very unsafe. |I booked a six bed mixed dorm because there were no female only dorms left, (I did include a note in my booking stating that if at all possible I would prefer this, but understood that there was no guarantee.) |Upon arrival, I discovered that a six bed dorm is not in fact a six bed dorm, but an apartment with three separate lockable rooms with twin beds in each, the bathroom is then shared between 6 (with showers that are not lockable or segregated by gender). I was immediately nervous at the prospect that I may need to share this bedroom which is lockable from the inside with an unknown male; all I could do was hope for the best. Upon arriving back alone from dinner that evening, I found that it was indeed inhabited by a male who proceeded to lock the door before bed, talk to me non-stop and then wait until I had turned out the lights to proposition me. This is something which I assume would have been less likely in a room with other people present. I also would have felt more secure that he would attempt to act on his desires in a shared room with others and perhaps somebody would have intervened and supported me in dealing with this inappropriate behaviour. Instead, I lay awake all night scared that he may engage in something non-consensual if I were to fall asleep.|While I know the actions of the guest were not the responsibility of Combo, if I knew when I booked that the sleeping set-up was like this, I simply would not have booked. Many people, perhaps not solo female travellers, may have been very happy not to have to share with six but instead to have a twin room, but in this scenario, I most certainly wasn't and my fears of inappropriate male behaviour ended up being realised. |I would return to Combo Venezia, but never as a solo female booked into a mixed dorm. I hope the proprietors can learn something from this review.

I have mixed feelings with this one. The low rating is mostly due to the shower situation explained below which primarily impacts the shared bathroom accommodations.||PROS: lovely space, very unique and spacious. Location was great, especially for catching the airport water taxi. Not super central but more peaceful which is what I was looking for. I had booked a 6 bed mixed dorm which I didn’t realize was more set up as an apartment with shared living area and bathrooms but then each room only had 2 beds and were very large. All felt clean. ||CONS: My biggest irk was the shower situation. They are in the main area of the bathroom, so if you want to brush your teeth or go to the toilet, you have to walk past the clear stand-up showers (and you can see pretty well!). If you’re the person taking the shower, there is no where to disrobe other than in the main bathroom area and hope that no one walks in at the same time. Same for grabbing your towel after. I have never experienced this type of set up in my many years of hostels!! The water didn’t drain at all so there was water significantly pooling at my feet which was also not great. As lovely as the communal spaces are, the rooms were extremely uninviting. It looked like a bit of a sad dorm with no windows that open up to let light in. The beds were comfy but pillows so flat.
