Good Service

The staff was over all great! Very polite and helpful. The waiting staff in the restaurant was great as well! Great food, very fresh and tasty. Our room was good. The walls and ceiling looked like they needed a paint job. The ceiling had some water stains and walls were scratched. The thermostat wasn't too great either. Our room was very warm even when we had the air on. Having the window open was much cooler. The location was a little out of the way but it's only a pleasant 20 - 30 minute walk to San Marco. It's away from all the touristy areas, so you definitely won't be bothered by any unnecessary noise when you're trying to sleep.

Above average isolated hotel in the area

The hotel is nice on an isolated region in Venice which is away from tourist traps. On a bad note, that the hotel is isolated and there isn't much of a selection around the area. Secondly, the staff doesn't make useful suggestions on where to eat or visit around the area.

Great Place to Stay

The rooms were great, clean, well appointed. THe location was away from the noise with a garden to sit and relax in. Most of the staff was very helpful They could use a concierge to provide visiter information and assistance. Breakfast was very nice THe price was very good, Would definitely stay here again.

Hôtel propre, agréable

Séjour du 9 au 13 avril 2013. Nous avons passé un agréable séjour à l'hôtel Sant'Elena de Venise. Hôtel effectivement ex-centré du centre de Venise, mais le centre est accessible en 15 minutes à pieds ou en 3 minutes via le vaporetto (arrêt SAnt Elena à 30 secondes de l'hôtel). Le personnel est à notre écoute et parle plusieurs langues (anglais, italien, français...). Les chambres sont tout à fait corrects. Le buffet du petit déjeuner est un régal et propose un large choix de plats / boissons. Le restaurant de l'hôtel est également sympathique et on y mange très bien également.
