I know you might think a hostel is about as sketchy as being alone on a dark street in south Tucson thanks to this gem of a movie:
But really, no need to worry about your toes getting snipped off staying in any hostel. In reality, hostels are a breeding ground for young travelers ready to make bffs, exchange travel stories, and drink too many bottles of cheap wine. PLUS, you get over any concerns of sketchiness when you discover how ridiculously inexpensive hostels are; I didn't spend much over 20 euro on a single night.
Hostel in Venice
In case you've never been, let me explain an average hostel. A hostel is comprised of many rooms full of bunk beds: some may have two beds, some may have ten beds.

The room you get depends on how much you're willing to spend; personally I'd rather stay in a
room with 9 other random people and still have euros left over to tour the Doge's palace the next day. In most places, there are community bathrooms that are less than sanitary at best. There is also a big common area to hang, meet people, and, if you´re lucky, get on the internet.
Yummmm Breakfast
In the morning, most places have a free breakfast in the common area; that is, if you consider a bread roll and a packet of nutella breakfast. Nonetheless, free food is free food. Dry bread has never tasted so good! (Nutella makes everything yummy)
In all honesty, hostels are amazing. You will learn to love all of their imperfections, and if not, you will learn to adapt. When life hands you dry rolls, head to the pasteria down the street and buy a 50 cent chocolate criossant.

Anyway, Sonar on Friday, so I'm listening to some Sonar jams:
