Combo In Venezia

Our family stayed 4 days in Venice in April 2024 and spent 5 nights at the Combo Hostel. The family apartment was clean, modern and offered enough space for a family of four. The cleaning lady came every day and even changed the towels, which is not common for a hostel. The personnel is very helpful. The hostel itself is big, clean and friendly, with many young people (as far as I understood Combo offers rooms to Venician students as well) but also tourists of all ages. I definitely recommend this place. It is approx. 30 min by foot from the central station, and at the same time just next to the lagoon.

Beautiful multifunctional environment that was born as a hostel/hotel but which today offers a real oasis of peace in which to take refuge from the Venetian chaos. It is located inside an ancient convent associated with the church and inside its cloisters you can now come to read and rest while drinking a good coffee or having an aperitif. There are two bars inside but it is not necessary to consume to relax in the common areas. Absolutely recommended for a break. Off the usual tourist routes, it is a very secluded crime.

I didn't stay. I spent time in coffee. Prices are affordable. I love garden of Combo and garden's tree.

We went to the cafeteria for breakfast. It was the cheapest breakfast of our stay in Venice and with nothing to envy other places. Highly recommended!!!

Amazing building with very good adaptations. The staff was nice and my room was perfect with a view to the canal.

Because we were in Venice during Carnavale, we LOVED the location. Just a short 15 minute walk from St. Mark's, our piazza was so quiet - away from the crowds and noise. We were just a minute from the water taxi to Murano/Burano and the airport so it was really convenient. Plenty of coffee shops/restaurants within 2-3 minutes. Will definitely return!

Prior to arrival one member of our group had her payment blocked by her bank due to ‘the hotel not having up-to-date security’, and another received 2 separate messages from scammers (1 successful) both claiming to be the manager of the hotel. The first of these scammers had all her details; including full name, phone number, payment information and the exact cost of the booking at this hotel. After realising she’d now been charged twice she reach out to the hotel and was told that ‘Booking.com has been hacked’ and then on our arrival ‘this has happened to 7 other people’. So we contacted Booking.com about the scam, who told us they have had multiple issues with this hotel but they would happily resolve it for us. Great! They then spoke to the evening staff member (a young man in his 20s/30s) about the 2 separate situations regarding the earlier failed bank payment and the scam. After walking in and hearing him dismissively asking my mum and grandma ‘well what do you want me to do about it?’ I suggested they should to look into these security issues as it seems as though it may be their Booking.com account that was hacked and/or that they need to update their online security - his response was to question my qualifications in making this judgement saying ‘you know this do you? You work for them?’ And then told me ‘you’re wrong, it was 3 other people this has happened to, not 7’, despite what his colleague had told us a couple of hours earlier. As if that was any comfort! I explained we are going off the information given to us in our conversations with his colleague, booking.com and the bank. To which he said ‘you don’t want to listen to me, so I just won’t speak’. I was stunned by this response and so we asked if there was someone more senior we could talk to about the situation then. He told us no, that he is the complaints department, there was no one else we could talk to and he would not refund the money. He said our options were to listen to him or leave a negative review. So here I am. I found this an incredibly rude attitude/approach to the situation considering my mum had just lost over €600 to a scammer who was claiming to work for them, had access to all her information, and we were not asking for a refund (from them) just some reassurance that they were going to take this security breach seriously. Instead, he outsourced the blame to booking.com and expressed little sympathy for the situation except towards himself and the fact they were having to change their password 3 times a day. One quick Google search and you will see article after article explaining how these attackers are accessing booking.com’s hotel partner accounts and are stealing information using malware downloaded onto the hotels computers - this research has been collected over the last few years and you don’t have to “work for them” to be able to read it. When we explained my grandma had booked with them directly (not via booking.com) he said that her bank had probably told her that the hotels system was not up-to-date because we are from the UK and are no longer in the EU. What his qualifications for passing this judgement are I am not sure but it seemed like a particular unhelpful comment to make while 3 generations stand in front of him clearly devastated about the stressful situation we had been put in on our first day in Venice. Despite this, the actual accommodation was lovely and well placed for our needs as well as easily accessible, which was particularly important for us with my granddad being partially blind and on a waiting list for a knee replacement. I live abroad and hadn’t seen any of my family for over a year and half. I’m furious that this man stood there and insulted me in front of them on day 1 of our trip after being rude and dismissive to them individually.

Beautiful hotel and really very large rooms despite Venice! The area is also great. You arrive directly from the airport by vaporetto and it is not overcrowded with tourists. There are very good restaurants and bars nearby, where many locals go. The service and breakfast at Combo are great! I can also highly recommend the bar, very reasonable prices and delicious products.

Pause café dans ce cloître bien restauré avec ses orangers. Boissons au bar de l'hôtel pour profiter dehors. Prix raisonnable, choix complet.

in generale ristorante non male, location carina, soprattutto la parte esterna della corte. Cibo buono e servizio veloce, peccato che quanto siamo andati a cena c'era pochissima scelta, molti piatti erano finiti e ci siamo dovuti accontentare di quanto rimasto
