Overall Venice has a very strong smell, but they tried to cover it up at the Bellini Hotel. Whatever they used, I found more objectionable than the Venice smell. My bathroom had mildew, and the attachment to hold the shower head was broken (just a hole), so I had to hold it, and water got everywhere. There was no luggage rack, so my suitcase had to go on the floor or on the marble-top desk. When I complained I was told this is Venice, and everything is very small and old. I found the location convenient and breakfast OK. WiFi was free in the lobby (no reception in the room). They have a computer, you must rent the keyboard or use touch screen (I didn't try, I used my iPhone).

We spent four nights in this hotel . For me it is definitely not 4* standard. Staff always seems to be stressed and not too friendly. The location is very close to the railway-station and not to far from the center . The breakfast room is very small and it often gets very loud as there are lots and lots of coach tourists. The best thing for us was a small rooftop terrace , where we took our dinner . There is a pizzeria and an Italian fast food restaurant called Brek nearby .
Beware of the moscitos in the room. We found hundreds. The bathroom is tiny .
The view from the window into a narrow road was not too nice.
I think that this hotel is overrated.

The location of this hotel is excellent - Rooms very good and breakfast OK - We stayed here to celebrate a 50th birthday - Great location for restaurants and shops and a good and very pleasant walk to Saint Marks Square (about 20- 30 mins) - Got to the hotel by private river taxi - what a way to arrive in Venice! - Fourth visit to Venice and will come back again and again

Hotel immaculately clean and the staff extremely friendly and helpful - Has a really nice roof terrace (something we didn't find until this visit)

Beautiful classik Venetian hotel right accross from a Vaporetto stop and next to the train station. Breakfast is served in a beautiful room lit by Venetian glas chandeliers and there are hot and cold choises. Rooms are small but beautifully furnished, the bathrooms are totaly tiled with marble. Friendly, multy lingual staff.
