Some 7 million bookings analyzed

The hotel hosts 170,000 guests annually
Opened in 2018, the hostel had already won the Best New Extra Large Hostel award in 2019. Since then, steady growth and a string of awards have strengthened its international reputation. Today the Anda Venice Hostel welcomes 170,000 young people from all over the world every year, and is one of the flagships of the Pagnan Group, a historic Venetian family company founded in 1929 by Cavaliere del Lavoro Romano Pagnan.
A Venetian family business
“A Venetian family business is a European leader in the youth tourism sector thanks to one of its properties in Venice,- says Silvia Pagnan, Chief Tourism Officer of the Pagnan Group. -This shows how entrepreneurial skills, vision, investment, local resources and team spirit can bring extraordinary results. Once again, Italy, or rather Veneto, is a leader in tourism, with Anda Venice Hostel planting yet another flag."
From double to 9-bed rooms
Accommodation is flexible and caters to different needs: double rooms for those seeking privacy, mixed or female dormitories with 6 to 9 beds, all equipped with private bathrooms to ensure comfort and functionality. An offering that combines affordability and quality, in line with the expectations of the new generation of travellers.
A strategic location near Mestre station
The location is also strategic: the Anda Venice Hostel is located a few steps from Mestre station, a key point for public transport links and for reaching the historic centre of Venice in just a few minutes. The hostel's success is part of the broader vision of the Pagnan Group, which operates through three divisions – tourism, agriculture and real estate – maintaining values of sustainability, respect for the territory and attention to the community at its core. Alongside the Anda Venice Hostel, the group manages the Isaholidays open-air villages, the Hotel Plaza Venice and important agricultural and real estate businesses in Italy and Argentina.
