Great hotel with convenient location

Very Nice hotel, conveniently located to transportation links at the top end of the Grand Canal. If you’re looking for a place away from the usual tourist haunts, this maybe the one for you.

We picked this hotel for its proximity to the train station. It was a short walk, over a large bridge, to the train station. It is on the water and right around the corner from the Grand Canal. We took a water taxi from the airport to the hotel and it dropped us right around the corner. It was a one block walk, over a very small bridge with our luggage. Lots of restaurants within a block of the hotel. The breakfast was very good. The room was very comfortable and the hotel itself is charming with lots of character. The front desk personnel were very friendly and helpful. We arrived before check in and they stored our luggage while we explored the city.

The Gardena Hotel is a pretty little hotel situated off a side street, yet very conveniently located near water taxis, water buses, and the train station. It allows you to explore and enjoy Venice and all its beauty. Our rooms were comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. Everyone was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area and were more than helpful in getting us places. Definitely a safe area with a pretty courtyard down the way where you can get some delicious coffee and enjoy the day. A small warning that has nothing to do with the hotel, but with no doubt every hotel you stay at in Venice, leave your windows closed because there are mosquitoes ready and willing to bite you while you were trying to sleep no matter what the temperature. Room Tip: If you’re going to need a porter with your luggage to get it back to the train station, ask the front desk to arrange a porter and price. It can change from loading at the station and all hotels.

The location is everything because you still get great canal views without the really busy tourist crowds like at Rialto. Pillows and bed were a little stiff but the rooms were super clean and very inviting. The hotel is lovely with all updated needs while still keeping the charm of Venice. Reception is 24 hours! Always someone at the desk. Comes with a great breakfast.

Beautiful hotel but uncomfortably warm.

Great location, outstanding breakfast, charming hotel. But the AC was not enabled in April and the room temp was well over 80 F. It made it hard to sleep, even with the windows open.

We had a wonderful stay at the Gardena Hotel in Venice. The location of the hotel was perfect, as it was a short easy walk from the train station (no need for a water taxi). From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly. Our room was upgraded to a room with a view of the canal and available upon an early check-in, which allowed us to begin our sightseeing right away! This hotel is a little gem! The lobby and public areas are beautifully decorated. The room was spacious, decorated perfectly for Venice and immaculate with a beautiful marble bathroom and lots of lovely toiletries. My only "criticism" would be that there is carpeting in the bedroom. If you don't mind that, it's 5 stars all the way! A delicious breakfast buffet is included with the room which was another nice perk to staying here! Grazie Mille to the wonderful and professional staff Hotel Gardena! We look forward to returning soon!
