This is a pretty standard three star hotel in Venice, but it is very handily located opposite the main rail station (5 minutes walk) and in a quiet location. Breakfast was adequate and the rooms clean, best feature was the pleasant and helpful multilingual staff. more

In a few words, we could have not asked for a better hotel. Rooms: Spacious bedroom, smallish bathroom, both very clean, with all traditional amenities. Breakfast: Good selection of croissants, toasted bread, fruit, yoghurts.. Hotel Staff: Little contact with them, but always helpful and cordial for checking-in and out, and when asked for help. Distance: Some reviews have included distance... more

Traveler's often envision their travel and are sometimes disappointed. We arrived in this city of beauty in the rain by taxi, having missed our water transfer but wouldn't let this dampen our initial view. The Hotel and the city were so very relaxing, we could have spent our entire week there. Without worry of dodging autos and motor vehicles, and... more

We were pleasantly surprised with this choice. . It is in a great location. From the airport catch the No 5 bus and the hotel is then a 10 minute (max) walk from there.

Being close to the station meant we were close as well to the main waterbus terminal, Ferrovia, which we took to... more

We found the Hotel Gardena to be convenient, although the accomodations themselves were average. As with all European hotel rooms in this price range, the room and bathroom were a bit small, but this was expected. Everything was extremely clean though, which is probably more important as you really don't spend much time in the room anyway. The hotel is... more

Great hotel. Nice location on a canal just off the grand canal near the train station. Convenient for vaparetto service. Friendly and helpful staff. Would stay here again. more

We stayed at the Gardena on a stop-over before going skiing. It was perfect for us as we didn't have much time, since it was so close to the bus station. The room was bigger than average and everything was clean. OK, it's not a luxury hotel but its very decent for the money and right by the grand canal. more
