Great Hotel! Great Room!

Firtst time in Venice. Hotel is across the canal from the train station which is very handy. The room was large by European standards, and very nicely decorated. Helpful staff; and the hotel was re-done 5 years ago; so everything is in great condition.

If you have to pick one restaurant to eat at in Venice, do not miss Osteria da Fiore. It is out of this world. The Black Squid with Ink is spectacular.

Literally the other side of the Grand Canal from Santa Lucia Railway Station the hotel was ideally positioned for us as we used Eurail Travel Passes to move around Europe. The Concierge was extremely helpful and our stay was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful and varied.

Enjoyed staying in this hotel

Enjoyed staying in this hotel located right on the Grand Canal. Had we been taking the train, it was directly across the bridge. Close to the Piazala Roma and bus connections to the airport.

The hotel is very well situated

The hotel is very well situated for the railway station & bus station. Water ferry stations were close by and it was a pleasant walk to both Rialto & St Marks sq. (15 & 25 mins) The staff were freindly and helpful. Rooms were very small as you may expect in Venice. A lack of a business lounge with internet access was a disapointment. The breakfasts were very good.

Enjoyable stay

Reasonably convenient to Piazzale Roma ( bus terminal ), the train station, water bus station and the cruise ship docks ( we caught a cruise from Venice so this was significant ). Only three small bridges to cross from the bus terminal. Private water taxi mooring directly in front of the hotel ( water taxis are expensive but worth the investment for certain situations ). Access is an important issue in Venice as your options are either water taxi or walking, mostly walking. Bridges have steps not ramps so they dictate the accessibility ( imagine dragging your wheeled luggage over them ), also most walkways are cobblestone. If you stay here and are interested in Gothic Cathedrals be sure to visit the small cathedral just across the Grand Canal from the hotel, it is well worth the visit. We feel that this hotel is a little pricey but overall it was worth it.

Time-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

There is a main water bus station just across the Grand Canal from the hotel with a major bridge close by. From this station you can access virtually anywhere in Venice although the water bus is a bit of an adventure....sort of like herding cattle.

A great value

The hotel is in a quiet area, but if you do not mind walking or taking the water services it is a perfect location! The hotel breakfast was a great way to start every morning. And the staff was always very helpful and spoke fluent English.

Money-saving tip: In Hotel

Be sure to ask at the front desk for the "promotional" FREE water taxi ride to Burano. Although they leave you at only one glass blowing facility, you can easily exit the gates and explore the island, then return back to the facility for the free ride back to Venice.
