“Conveniently located but dark and tiny room for four”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2011

Not cheap either. But then, as it turns out, nothing is in Venice. Or Italy for that matter.

It's been some 20 years since I was last in Venice so it took me a while circling the parking lot/bus station at the end of the causeway to remember that actually there are no roads as such in Venice and I had probably best ignore the lady on the SatNav who insistent that I drive cross the pedestrian bridge and off down the canalside.

There are however huge multi-story carparks right there so you can abandon your car for 30 Euros or whatever a day and drag your cases across to the island pausing only to laugh at those folk who have showed up with enough luggage for a round-the-world cruise and are trying to transport it in relays the entire length of the island.

The hotel itself is easy to find being only 100 metres or so from the station. Which is how we got there 20 years ago hence no clue about driving or parking arrangements.

The breakfasts were very, very basic. Tea or coffee and a few bits of dried cracker things and croissants. You're going to be paying for lunch. Not enough there to tide you over until dinner. Also the breakfast room is tiny and so sometimes there would be folk waiting on you to finish so they could get their food.

I'm loathe to diss the place too much because I fear that Venice exists in a parallel universe where normal pricing policy has simply gone out the window but if I were to return to Venice I'd probably take a chance on a different hotel.

“Great location, clean, and quiet”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2011

This hotel was very close to the water bus station, which we took from the airport in Venice. The sign was easy to spot, especially since we were looking based on previous reviews of Venice hotels and the signage.
The hotel is very close to the train station. The front desk personnel were very friendly and helpful.
The room was very quiet, though ours opened to an alley. The A/C was very welcoming. The room was also clean and had average toiletries.
Breakfast was included and consisted of pastries, coffee, and packaged crackers and jams. The waitress was very efficient, and friendly.
The only downside was the decor, in that our room was very dark and dated.

“Great location and comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011

Conveniently located next to the main train station and the Ferrovia water bus stop. To avoid crossing any bridges to the hotel, hop on the water bus at Piazzla Roma when you arrived on AeroBus 5 from the airport. Just 1 stop, very short distance but save you the task of crossing the bridge. The hotel is just on the right od the water bus stop. Do take hote of the hotel signs as there are many hotels along the way.

Bear in mind that the hotel does not have a lift but I would say it is pretty common in Venice as most are on very old buildings.
Breakfast was average like most European hotels. rooms are clean and well decorated with green wall paper. Though the ventilation in the bathroom can get pretty noisy. Be prepared to hear noises from luggage moving if you get a room near the stairs.
a very safe hotel for sole travellers. No free internet.
You can buy 12/24/36/48hrs hellovenize ticket to hop on and off the water buses. Otherwise most sights can be reached by foot, just enjoy the sights along the way. No worries about losing your way as there are signs throughout Venice to guide you. If you have time take the water bus to Lido station for a walk.

“Convenient location, friendly staff, and clean”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2011

Very convenient to the train station and water taxis. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Room was spacious for our family of four and was very clean. Bathroom shower is very small but worked out fine for a one night stay. We would recommend this hotel for anyone passing through Venice for a one or two day stay. Continental breakfast was included.

“Horrible hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2011

person found this review helpful

I find the other reviews for this hotel very curious; they sound as though they were written by relatives of the owner. I have been to Venice many times. This hotel was unacceptable. It has a nice location, but the rooms are small, the Internet service didn't work, the beds were hard, the service was uneven, and there was no ice available for the guests. The free breakfast in the morning was good but this hotel was definitely not a good value. I do not recommend this hotel.
