There's a supermarket called Ali? about 2-3 minutes away on foot, where you can buy various groceries. Since there's a kitchen, it seems like a good idea to cook. There are also many Chinese restaurants around the hotel, which might be a plus for Asian travelers.
It's a very large hostel with 24-hour staff at the front desk. They kindly allowed an early check-in. There's a bar and a place to grab snacks, a very spacious common lounge, vending machines selling snacks and drinks (e.g., 500ml water for about €1.2, which is reasonably priced), and laundry facilities (washing & drying both cost €4, but it's not available 24 hours). After check-out, you're free to stay in the hotel's common areas. You can also store your luggage in the storage space at the front desk if it's available (a padlock is required).
The train ride from the nearest Mestre Station to Venice proper takes about 5-10 minutes (usually one stop) and costs €1.5.
The atmosphere is lively, with many students and young people.
The rooms are accessed by an auto-locking key. There are 9 beds, and the luggage storage is spacious. There are 8 bunk beds and 1 regular bed. The beds are sturdy, and shaking isn't much of an issue. Each room has 3 sinks, 1 toilet, 2 shower rooms, and 1 hairdryer, so I didn't experience any inconvenience.
I think the location, cleanliness, facilities, and service are all top-notch for a dormitory. I would definitely want to stay here again if I come to Venice. I highly recommend it, so if you're undecided, please give it a try.
