Hotel Airone - Venice

4.0

The best thing about this hotel is its location. It's within 5 minutes walk from train/bus station. Major plus because there was no problem about carry luggage too far and very quick access to bus station for our early morning departure for the airport. But room had no a/c so summer must be quite impossible. In Oct the heating was on and could not be turned down or off within the room. It took 2 days to get them to turn it down.... so room very uncomfortable. Had to leave window open and got v. badly bitten by mosquitos. Not worth paying extra for breakfast,better to go out to cafe. Staff at reception were professional but certainly seemed stressed as if they were having a "bad day". The place is generally a bit run-down. But for a bed for the night it was ok.

9.3

very close to means of transport. Easy to find. Perfect location. Cheap hotel but with nice and essential rooms. We recommend it!

8.2

The rooms were spacious enough and very nice decoratated. The interior style get on with the original design of Venice historical building. Very romantic. The location nearby the Calane Grande gives you many opportunities for sightseeing, cominucation and shoppig.

9.8

perfect choice! Nice rooms as like pictures! Friendly ans helpfull staff! Definetly come back again!

7.8

The location is perfect and for the price the hotel was just fine. The air condition and the bed were not good, though, but since we only stayed one night, it was alright.

3.2

THE ROOM SMELLS BAD, AND THERE IS A AWFULL STAIR UP TO THE ROOMS.

8.8

Excellent location, good quality room, good air con & view.

3.7

In terms of location, no question about it. Right close to train station and canal. Downside was the bookings was for canal view and they gave us garden view with full of mosquitos....Let me tell you this hotel and hotel canal have the same owner but this one is 2 star and the other 3 star. When asked the reception at canal Hotel, she said what do u expect your hotel is 2 stars and next time you want the canal view reserve with Hotel Canal....yeah right....The room was so small that you could barely find a space to put your luggage in...overall next time around I won't go there but the only good thing was the location which I repeat...

9.3

Excellent location, next to train and main bus stations. Although we had to check in to another hotel which is nearby, the staff was very co operative.

5.8

Hotel in ottima posizione per una coppia giovane, arrivando dalla stazione si attraversa il canale si lasciano i bagagli e via a piedi per tutta venezia... Il check in si fa in un altro hotel poco distante a piedi, dove ci hanno chiesto di pagare in anticipo (ovviamente avendo noi rifiutato non ci hanno fatto storie). Per quanto riguarda i pregi, la pulizia era buona. I difetti: un problema da non sottovalutare è la mancanza di zanzariere!! Abbiamo passato tutta la prima notte ad uccidere zanzare e pieni di bolle!! Ovviamente per il resto del soggiorno non abbiamo lasciato mai le finestre aperte. Il bagno era in camera, la dimensione del lavandino era comica... Il bagno comune per quelli che non lo hanno in camera era drammatico ma questo dipende dalla civiltà delle persone. Per il resto tutto ok. Se ci andate ricordate di portare qualcosa contro le zanzare!!

7.3

The room was small by American standards, but decent compared to other European hotels. The bed was a little hard, but functional. The location was GREAT - right on the Grand Canal a short walk between the train station and the bus station. We were satisfied based on the price paid.

7.8

The hotel located near North railway station, and near shopping mall very closely. The staff was properly trained and professional. But the room seems a little old, esp bath room.

9.9

cheap but clean and nice. Very close to main means of transport and close to the center. I'll come back again

9.4

Perfect location, and great for the price. We watched the canal traffic from our window - wonderful. No frills, but - who needs them? There are plenty of cafes and shops nearby. No real lobby, but - again, who cares? A few rooms open to the back of the hotel - not near as pleasant. (We let the kids sleep there - they didn't mind.) It's exactly what we wanted: Reasonable price for clean & comfortable accommodation in a great location. (And the description they give is accurate.)

2.6

In January I reserved two rooms (for 4 adults) in Hotel Airone for 5th June and received confirmation of the booking. Since our flight to Venice was delayed we arrived after 11pm. The receptionist told us that despite our reservation there were no rooms available for us since no credit card details had been given. I showed a copy of the reservation which stated that 'payment is to be made directly to the hotel at the end of your stay'. I also pointed out that had Hotel Airone requested my credit card details following the reservation they would have been readily supplied. The receptionist was most unhelpful and did not show the least concern about our predicament or try to find alternative accommodation or us. He then told us there was one room available. Since it was now late and since it would have been difficult to start looking for rooms in another hotel we had no option but to take the one room for which I paid by credit card. The four of shared the one relatively small room with one bed and shared bathroom facilities with other guests. I found the whole experience embarassing and wondered whether I was at fault and had omitted some step in the reservation process? However, in January we had also reserved two rooms through Venere in another hotel in Venice for a week later on 13th June in the same way as the Hotel Airone reservation. In the morning I called in person to this hotel to make sure the same problem did not arise. I was told that everything was ok with our reservation and that credit card details were not required until we checked in. In the morning we complained, without any satisfaction, to the 'day' recepionist at Hotel airone How is possible that our experience of reserving two rooms in two separate hotels in the same city through the same agency , Venere, could be so different? The only conclusion we could come to was that since we arrived late on the night in question, one of our rooms had been given to someone els

9.0

Excelente hotel, especialmente teniendo en cuenta la relacion precio-calidad en una ciudad turistica como Venecia. Es un Hotel que esta al lado de otro, en el cual se encuentra la recepcion. No da desayuno y el servicio que provee se limita a la limpieza de los cuartos, teniendo una sala para uso comun. Las piezas son lindas, comodas, con vista al Gran Canal, el baño moderno, tal como se ve en las fotos. La zona es muy linda de dia como de noche, frente a la estacion de trenes y a un paso del Puente de los Scalzi, Sin dudas para recomendar.

7.5

A great accomodation for the $$. A little confusing about check-in at neighboring property but very comfortable and quiet rooms. NO lift and quite a few stairs...so travel light!

8.6

The hotel was super easy to find. Great location for arriving via train & for getting on the water taxi. The room was as described as was the shared bathroom. The room & the shared bath were very, very clean. Check in was right down the street about 30 feet & took about 15 minutes. There was no internet available in the rooms. The housemaid in the breakfast area was horribly rude - so rude, in fact, that we choose not to eat breakfast at Airone in spite of the low price. It was noisy outside our bedroom window because we faced the grand canal. Our mattress was a spring mattress - which was not the most comfortable. The Air Conditioner worked SO well...we were freezing!

8.6

cheap and well located... room very clean and friendly staff.. room simple but will all the confort needed for 2 star hotel will come back again

9.4

The location of the hostel is just perfect. If you need just a place to sleep where is clean and silent, the hostel is the right choice. however there is nothing more. the price is not very cheap but just for the location it worths.

3.6

There was no interaction with staff at Hotel Airone because there doesn't appear to be any staff. Met with one breakfast lady who was more interested in demanding our room number. At check in we were met with a very disinterested reception. Hotel was ok but we would be looking for somewhere else next time.

5.7

my partner and myself stayed monday to friday 1st week of april 2009. the location is indeed on the grand canal directly opposite the railway station and a few minutes (two small bridges) from bus station. very convenient for water bus and taxi too.the hotel was clean and tidy -but unusually no staff at the hotel other than the maid. breakfast was poor although we spent the last day at the Canal hotel(where you check in for the Airone) and the breakfast was fine. the weather was spot on and we enjoyed our first time stay in venice

7.0

Not Bad. Beds hads springs that could use replacing. Good location right on the grand canal.

7.9

good value for money

8.9

localización excepcional, enfrente de la estación de tren y a 3 min de la de autobús. lo único malo es que la calefacción estaba a tope y te morias de calor y no la podias regular. Por lo demás genial.

9.5

excellent hotel! Good relationship between price/quality!!! Good choice if you look for a simple but clean and nice hotel!! we will reccoment it to our friends

6.1

Correct pour le prix, aurait été mieux avec le petit déjeuner inclus. Bon emplacement, proche gare.

7.9

Great location! Good room with new bath. Figuring out how to check in at the hotel 30 meters down the way was a bit awkward but it was not difficult nor frustrating. Would have loved to have had breakfast included.

8.5

Nice and clean hotel. Good relation quality/price paied. We 'll come back again!!!!

7.4

Great location 2 blocks from train station. Clean bed w/ wash basin in small room. 1 shared shower bathroom for many rooms. Disinterested front desk staff; check-in 1 block down at Canal Hotel. Very adequate for a quick visit to Florence; clean, secure, and decent value for price.

8.8

Good location. Nice and clean Hotel. Receptionist very kind. Good price. The Hotel is OK !!!!! Ciao Venezia

9.0

I booked a standard room overlooking a garden. I paied a supplement of 10 euros to have a room overlooking the Grand Canal. The view was fantastic. Breakfast was nothing special but enought. My room was nice. No problem with this Hotel. A big CIAO to the staff of the Hotel Airone

9.4

Glad to find our expectation satisfied. We didn’t had bad surprise arriving at the hotel airone. The room are exactly as the picture in the web. Even if it is a 2 stars hotel we have had the possibility of sleeping in a room fitted in Venetian style without spending a fortune as typical in Venice. Even more the staff of the reception was very friendly and helpful giving us good advices. Next time we will come back to Venice we will sleep here again

9.1

The hotel airone is a perfect choice for a group of friends looking for an hotel that is convenient but nice and above all clean. Our choice was for the rooms with shared bathroom for a matter of price and we were satisfied, the bathroom was always available and very clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. We definetly come back again

1.4

We were very disappointed in this hotel. It was way over priced for what we got. The only thing that was good was the location, other than that, the hotel did not offer anything else. We will never stay there again. We were traveling with two teenage children. This was the worst hotel of our vacation.

3.9

The website claims there are all private washrooms, however when you get there, you find out the room has a shared washroom, i was incredibly disappointed becasue of this, and the hotel did bother helping me with this. There is reception desk you have to go to another hotel for service.

4.5

The rooms are TINY. I booked 2 rooms 1 for children and 1 for parents. Kids room overlooked main canal, it was tiny but acceptable because of location and quiet airconditioning. Secong room was rediculously small and had a portable airconditioner which was impossible to have on while in the room because of the noise Overall rooms to small for the price

1.7

we espacially asked for a room which is bright and facing the canal. but the room we were given was exactly the opposite. it was like a matchbox with no light and it had the smallest window ever! and the lady that serves the breakfast couldnt be any ruder...

7.2

We chose the Airone because we were coming in on the train and leaving the next day by bus to the airport and it was perfectly positioned to avoid getting lost. It ends up we didn't even stay at the Airone. There was a sign in the window directing us to a hotel further down the street in which we ended up staying. They noted that we had asked for a view and offered us one for an additional $20 Euros which we accepted. We had a great view of the Grand Canal although the view on the other side of the canal wasn't very interesting — a building site with graffitied fences. The bathroom was wonderful and clean, the room was comfortable and again, for our purposes, the location was perfect.

9.8

Close to everything

5.9

I was surprised to know that this hotel has no reception. You need to go to Hotel Canal because Hotel Canal is the main hotel and I think this is an additional rooms which they have advertised as a hotel . Breakfast in Airone is not good. I would suggest people to book Hotel Canal instead of Airon. €100 a night is not cheap for a hotel like Airone. On the other hand, the room was neat and clean with air conditioning at 18.. It was really chilling as outside temperature was close to 37 degrees.. Yes is was hot outside because it was June. This hotel is very close to train and bus stand.

9.7

Would highly recomed this hotel. It is right near the bus and train station and very accessable. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We were upgraded to a room with private bathroom without any extra cost.

8.5

If all you care about is crashing on the bed at night and going in to sleep mode within a few minutes, this fits the bill. For its proximity to the railway station and the convenience, its a good bargain.

9.6

The hotel was convenient to the train station, with restaurants, shops, and vaporeto stops nearby,perfect for us. Such a magical place, I loved it! This was our first trip to Venice, and I hope to stay again someday.

3.9

Place was clean. Did not look like pictures posted online. This hotel does not have reception desk, you have to go to another hotel down the way to get your key. Place was dark. However, in walking distance to train station. Clean towels were provided and be was made up every day. Shared bath was clean. This place was definately NOT worth the price though.

6.4

Our room had been doublebooked so we were offered a cheaper room with a shared bathroom and breakfast included to compensate. As it was only one night stay it was o.k. In the morning at breakfast the staff seemed confused and had to phone to check we could have breakfast which was a little embarressing. The reception and management were in a hotel three doors away.

6.4

This was mine and my partner first holiday together, so obviously we wanted something romantic, Venice provided this in abundance. The hotel was very basic but clean. The room was cleaned daily and the towels changed daily. Only fault was air conditioning wasn't working. Looking at other hotels in Venice we decided the location of ours was easy to access from the bus station and it was very quiet and right by the canal. There are lots of nice hotels in Venice but we believe we got what we paid for and we were glad we stayed there. As most people only use the hotel for sleeping in this was just right for that purpose. If I was to return I would use this hotel again.

2.8

El hotel esta bien, pero es de 4ta q la recepcion este en el hotel de al lado, te hacen pagar el total de las noches porq la llave la tenes vos toda la estadia; encima la entrada es a la 1 de la tarde, y la salida a las 11, eso esta muy mal. Con relacion al precio, estaria bien si estuviera incluido el desayuno, unos pijoteros. Y si viajas con valijas grandes es un problema ya q no hay ascensor y la escalera es super larga.

4.4

no staff at hotel airone - reception at hotel canale - this was not a problem. no breakfast included in price - for same price florence was 100 times better. Noisy -walls too thin.

5.3

Cheap place to stay, didn't expect any frills or extras for the price and didn't get any. Very good location for 1st timers to Venice, easy to find, clean, secure, come and go as you please at any hour. I would stay there again.

8.4

Very good Hotel to spend the night in it.Checking in and out in the near by hotel, canal.Airone hotel is clean, well furnished, perfect location;5 min walking from bus stop, to which we arrived from airport, and from railway station, and from supermarket"Coop" u can take the boat line no 1 in front of Venice railway station for 6.5 € to St Marcos, to see the whole Grand Canal, then return back walking across venice, don t forget to cross Rialto Bridge,with very nice Souvenirs ón both sides of it ,with this u ll not miss anything in Venice.hp u ll enjoy ur time...

4.2

I was so looking forward to staying at this hotel as it was a room overlooking the grand canal for our final night. However upon arrival we were directed to a hotel a few doors away and informed that Airone had electrical problems and we were booked into the Canal Hotel instead. I was very disappointed. Our room was on the third floor in an attic room - there was no lift so we had to carry our bags up a lot of stairs. Our room overlooked houses behind us and we could hear birds in the roof above us. Although we got the room for thesame price and it was supposed to be a star higher i did not think it was good. The breakfast was however substantial and much bigger and better than other italian hotels. Overall i was disappointed with being moved and our room.

7.6

There was a slight surprise as it was not mentioned here that Hotel Airone had been merged with Hotel Canal. Reception is at Hotel Canal which is located about two doors away. The room is small but clean. Though heated, there is not airconditioning if the rooms get too hot and stuffy. The great thing is the location. Right across the Grand Canal from the train station and a stone throw's away from the Piazza Romale. Excellent location of the final leg of our Italy trip.

8.5

Great place, right on the canal great proximity to the station and everything. booked a room without a bathroom but got one with anyway at the same price, views over the canal. great wee place.

2.5

Worst hotel I ever stayed in. In fact, not even a hotel, just a room. No bar. No reception as stated. Overpriced. Lessened my experience of Venice. Would never stay there again. I know why they make you pay for your stay in advance. You would not stay there after you saw the room.

8.2

Great place to stay. Very close to the train/bus stations. It was value for money as we had our room facing the Grand Canal and loved every moment of it. Room was cosy, neat and tidy though not very spacious.

9.7

Rooms are clean. The hotel location is perfect: close to train station, bus station (piazzale roma) and water bus stop; it is also very easy to find the way to the main attraction from the hotel. For a low cost hotel, that was a perfect choice. It was very nice to have the possibility of being completly free to come and go because we has our own keys! Good value for quality price. I will surely recommend to my friends!

9.5

The Hotel Airone is a perfect place to stay if you look for a budget solution. Very important for me it was clean and the staff was nice and helpfull. Breakfast was not included on my reservation but they gave me the possibility of doing it as well. Breakfast is continental but good..above all the croissants and the hot chocolate! Next time I'll come in Venice and Hotel Airone will be my choice again!!

9.0

Our first 2 star. With your help it was well worth it. Venere.com is now our site of choice. We shared your service with everyone on our cruise out of Venice. Kudos

5.8

We loved having a room overlooking the Grand Canal, despite the noise. The hotel is outdated and not overly well maintained. There is barely enough room to walk between the end of the bed and the wall. The bed was very old, with sagging springs and completely worn mattress. But we slept surprisingly well. Bathroom was fine, tho old and basic. On arrival we found the door unlocked as the housekeeper was taking out the laundry. That caused us to miss the note on the door directing us to another hotel a few doors away for reception. So, after hauling our luggage up the long stairway to the "first" floor, we were puzzled by the lack of any staff anywhere. Eventually we found our way to the other hotel and got a key to our room. Walls are thin, but fortunately we didn't have any loud neighbors. Breakfast consists of rolls and coffee, but pretty standard for area.

8.4

Myself and my family.

9.1

This low-cost hotel is an excellent choice for Venice. The rooms are clean and the loctation (on the Grand Canal,across from the train station and near several water taxi stops) can't be beat. Very easy to find! Finding your way to main attractions was simple with well-placed signs. We stayed 2 nights in October 07 in a double room with bath for one of the lowest prices available in Venice, and felt it was perfect for our needs. Walls are thin, though, and you can hear other people easily. Only 1 flight of stairs for all rooms. If traveling by train to Venice, this hotel is perfect!

2.9

We had high expectations based upon the small photo provided and the price. Reality however, it was not much more than a youth hostile. The bed was teribble, room very, very small and the service was not available at all.

1.6

This 'hotel' is just about OK for school/student groups, if they can afford the price. Rooms are situated on the first floor of a building, around a central space with nothing but artificial lighting. This space is used for breakfast, whilst people with no en-suite bathroom traipse through on their way to and from toilet and shower. The website gives the impression of small but bright rooms. The reality is that Airone is a dingy place which we were glad to leave. In contrast to the rest of the stay in Venice, which was wonderful.

8.7

I was pleased that the hotel was within walking distance of the free buses from the passenger ship terminal. That made getting there a breeze. There was some confusion on breakfast, however. The internet said no, the desk clerk said yes, but apparently the internet was correct

1.7

The woman who checked us in at the hotel was horrendous. She was incredibly rude and made us pay before we even saw the room. I believe on Venere, it says that we don't have to pay until we check out of the room. She treated us terribly and I am glad we only stayed there one night before our cruise. If you are looking for a welcoming hotel with great service this is NOT the hotel for you. The rooms weren't anything great, especially for the price we paid for. The shower was basically a drip and the room smelled of mildew and mold. I do not recommend this hotel.

4.3

The hotel has a perfect location, but I requested a double bed and the bed did not fit the specification requested. When we arrived the employee in the reception was very nice and help us with a situation with the air condition, but the second day the same problem happens with the air condition and the employee in the reception area was not helpful.

8.2

Airone is a great place to stay if budget accomodations are your objective. They provide the essentials. The A/C and TV worked fine and the shared bathroom was not a big deal. The location was perfect for me as I drove in and parked in one of the recommended lots. As it was my first time in Venice, I found the location to be ideal in terms of finding the place by foot. It is also located right on the grand canal. Its a decent walk to San Marco Square but Venice is best experienced by foot!

4.0

The hotel was more like a motel than a hotel. Small and not so nice rooms. Some strange smell in the room and the airconditioning was very loud. The breakfast was very good but were served in the room. The reception, at the neighbour hotel was very good and helpful! The hotel was easy to find when you arrived with train. But the price was to high for that kind of hotelroom!

9.7

Airone was a great place to stay in Venice! It's right on the Grand Canal, across the Canal from the main train station. They were willing to give us 2 separate single beds, there was never a line for the (shared) shower, and the staff was friendly. My favorite part was opening the window in the morning and seeing the 5km traffic jam of boats on the Canal! Venere's map was confusing, and we got a bit lost trying to find the hotel. I think if you ask the locals for the "Canal Grande" and the Train Station, you'll head in the right direction.

6.6

The hotel is located just near the Station S.L. and is easy to reach major scenery spots. Our room also has air-conditioning installed which exceed my expectation.

7.0

We were looking for a convenient hotel in Venice that wouldn't break the bank, and would allow us to book for just one weekend night. Most hotels had a two night minimum for summer weekends. The hotel was clean, neat and convenient location - just across the bridge from the rail station. This meant no heavy lugging of bags across Venice bridges to or from the station. They even stored our bags after check out, until we were ready to grab our train out of town.

5.3

In the room was quite comfortable doublebed but for luggages there wasnt any room left. Windows was from 17th century so easily all noises came thru. Off course Venice is old town with old builduings and pricing is expensive everywhere in venice. OK hotel for 1 night visit but 2 or nights in this small room will be too much for me. Air condition without any extra charges was very positive thing! Reception was in other hotel ( 30 meters ) and service was very friendly and nice.

5.1

There is no information that you need to access the hotel 30 metres down the road to access the hotel and key. The web site indicates a lift and the actual facility doesnt have a lift. Very close to the grand canal and handy to the station but very noisy and no access to food early in the morning.

4.7

Hummm, this place was strange. It was very easy to find but the front desk is actually part of a different hotel. The hotel that you actually stay at is a few doors back. Once inside it is also a very starange scene. The hotel looks like it has been shut down for years and they have just re-opened to accomidate extra guests. We felt like it was extremly over priced even for Venice. The staff was just "what ever" about any thing we asked. Really this place had no atmospher what so ever. I would never stay here again.

3.1

I have asked hotel room to be with a canal view and the room had a tiny little window with no light and facing smb else's room. Very unconfortable beds. If you have a back problem do not stay there. As a hole, good location, the hotel reception is in a different hotel. The door was banging all the time somebody was passing by and therefore made it sound as if smb is trying to brake in. If i stayed there alone i would be really scared.As a whole, did not like the hotel at all. It is my second time in Venice and although the place is amazing and very good location right next to Ferrovia stop,the hotel was horrible!!

3.3

La chambre double que nous avons eue n'était pas complètement identique à la photo sur internet (pour la sdb). La propreté laissait à désirer. La vue sur le Grand Canal n'était pas exceptionnelle et générait bien plus de bruit que de plaisir. L'accueil ne fut pas très courtois par ailleurs. En revanche, le prix reste très raisonnable et attractif. Cet hôtel reste correct pour les petits budgets peu soucieux du confort.

4.8

This is a basic but clean hotel. There is no reception area or breakfast area in the hotel. This is all located in the hotel next door, Hotel Canal. Breakfast provided in the hotel next door was excellent and the Hotel Airone appeared to be an annex to the Hotel Canal. No character, no ambience, simply somewhere to sleep. Unfortunately there seemed to be a problem with the hotel water supply during our stay at Hotel Airone and we only had very tepid water during our two days and nights at the hotel. Location is excellent and made up for a disappointing hotel.

7.5

The hotel was very simple, but clean, we had a big room, a nice bathroom and everything was adequate. We had a window looking over the water, 5 min walk fom the train station, and it was the cheapest option I found for the Carnival weekend. Overall, not fancy but a good place to stay. The reception is in the next hotel and they were a bit slow, but it was no big problem.

9.8

Excellent location and price. Directly across from the train station, impossible to get lost. Great view of the Grand Canal. Great area, very safe. Highly recommend!

9.9

I reserved with Arione as a precruise one night with my mother. Even though the map was accurate, we still got alittle confused, turned the opposite direction and got a little lost which is easy to do with all the bridges. Overall it was all a pleasant experience (after the luggage hauling) when we got there. I enjoyed the feel of the old fashioned structure of the building as opposed to the commercialized hotels. We had the grand canal view which had a wonderfull view full of excitment. Not recommended for those that want quiet (cannot comment on the other side if it was quiet, did not view) but for me it was all exciting looking out the window watching the ferries and people. The only thing that confused me was the advertized "lift" which I thought could lift the luggage up, but of course in Venice they don't offer it for obvious reasons so pack light because the picture of the stairs is how far to reach the office with luggage. Continental breakfast served in an area with the other guests was pleasant,tasty and fresh. The room/bathroom was spotless, comfortable and the staff polite . Plenty of places to shop and eat in the surrounding area. This is not recommend for travelers looking for upscale accomadations, but for those wanting a cozy comfort and to get the real feel of Venice. Only tip.....pack light

8.1

Small room, but exceeded expectations (because I had originally thought I'd have to share a public bath; but I actually had my own PRIVATE bathroom/shower). Minimally noisy (my room faced the grand canal), but certainly acceptable. Fairly convenient walking to/from Piazzale Roma, however, you WILL have to drag luggage over 2 bridges to reach the hotel. [note that the public water taxi stop is ACROSS the canal from the hotel, although I suppose you could call a private water taxi if desired] Another note - be sure to get your payment details stated at/before checkin (i.e., pay by Credit Card), as the clerk at checkout initially told me "cash only" Bottom line: the above details are provided to assist in planning a visit to Venice, I thought the hotel was a GREAT value (particularly for being on the canal), and I would use them again.

7.9

A little bit higher price No credit card acceptance, but It's is OK if you don't prefer with price , Near Station just across the bridge.....Staff at front desk is very nice and helpful... Hope you can visit here Bye

8.8

throughly enjoyed the hotel staff, they were very informative and helpful. We arrived late one evening, but the hotel was easy to find at night. Lots of space and very clean. Would stay there again. By the way, they had great air conditioning in the rooms.

8.0

We enjoyed our stay here. Great location on the Grand Canal with easy access to Pl. Roma and the train station. We had a quiet back room and it was clean, with a nice bathroom.

8.7

A NICE LOCATION ESPECIALLY FOR EASY ACCESS TO TRAIN STATION AND THE AIRPORT.

8.4

Very excellent location, right on the Grand Canal. Very easy to find from train or car/bus - a big plus in Venice (you can see the hotel from the train station across the Grand). The hotel is in one of the nicest areas of Venice for walking and exploring. Facing the canal is a bit noisy but great atmosphere. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room unexpectedly sported a full bathroom/shower and faced the canal for a very reasonable price. Only complaint was that there was no luggage storage at the hotel, we had to leave our bags at the train station.

9.6

The staff was very accomodating and helpful. Their English was excellent. The room was well heated for winter. They provided the best breakfast during our two weeks in Italy.

5.1

The website for this hotel however accurate, left us rather disappointed. The hotel is very old with meager accomodations. Bathroom linens were inadequate with nowhere to even set down a toothbrush. Noise from outside the room in the breakfast area was loud. The surrounding area on the Grand Canal was charming with little shops and places to sit and eat. There are however two bridges to cross as well as a flight of stairs to reach Piazzale Roma. This could be rather daunting for older visitors carrying luggage.

Location was great. A 2 star hotel at best, more like a motel if you ask me. OK for the price we paid. The shower was tiny & in front of the toilet. The water didn't drain when we took a shower so the bathroom flooded. The front desk was no help in solving this problem, he just shrugged his shoulders. May be worth spending a couple of extra dollars to stay somewhere else.

Excelentemente recibidos por el personal del turno noche. La calefaccion en enero nos ha hecho sentir como en agosto al sol de Africa, gracias!!. El unico problema fue las pocas mesas para desayuno, que nos ha hecho esperar un buen rato. Muy bien ubicado, 24 horas abierto. Volveriamos a este hotel con gusto!! 15/1/2006

Good location, easy to find.My only complain was that staff was making noise in the hall late in the evenings. Convenient hotel at a reasonable price.

Good position, But became rather worried when we returned from an excursion only to find that the reception had locked the only door into the building. We were on the outside but a couple who were inside were franticly trying to find keys from reception drawers to open the locked door, to no avail. We waited a further 5 minutes until the receptionist arrived,(she had been up the street ?) and when confronted didn't appear worried that she could have endangered these peoples lives if a fire had broken out . As the hotel is on the first floor and above shops there doesn't appear to be any fire escape or alternate means of escape,the poor couple left the building quite visibly shaken. We left the next morning.

it is a nice place, not in the center but easy to reach by foot or better by bus - better not to ask question to a cleaning lady - she doesn't understan english at all

This hotel is near the train staion as well as the bus staion for the airport, which is handy.It would be ok for a one night stop. We had a back bedroom which was small the air conditioning was just outside our window so it was noisey.In the picture of the hotel they had twin beds but we were put in a double that is why we choose the hotel if we knew that we would have picked a hotel near the center of venice but for the money and it was only a 2 star it was ok for a few hours sleep apart from the air con!

I know its only a two-star, but its not the best hotel. Room seemed old and kind of run down. It was also very noisy and during the late night. But it is very conveniently located. You can walk from the train station-- head over the main bridge and turn right. You can also walk to the taxi area which is also very convenient.

the hotel is very near to the train station and it´s just in front of the grand canal but it´s far from anything else. ít´s a very small hotel.

Lo mejor la proximidad a la estación (40 m) y el poder desplazarte a cualquier sitio andando desde él.
