Hotel Belle Epoque - Venice

8.9

Hotel Belle Epoque is excellent in service and the breakfast was great! We stayed in a twin but converted to a double. We liked specially the Venetian design of the hotel and I would recommend the hotel to my friends. We also like to commend Raul the waiter during breakfast, he was good in his job. We will definitely go back to Hotel Belle Epoque

9.4

1 day on venice. Great looking rooms. Good breakfast. Helpful staff. They will keep your luggage on the check-out day.

9.5

Great hotel just what we expected. Near to transport connections.

10

The hotel is perfect. Good localitation.

4.3

Lo mejor del hotel la situación, cerca de la estación en una calle muy animada por tiendas y a escasa distancia del centro, personal del hotel muy amable, hotel limpio. El desayuno muy pobre en cuanto a surtido,pero un exquisito capuchino,como calidad /precio lo encuentro un poco caro para un tres estrellas. El baño demasiado pequeño. Pero en general recomendaría este hotel.

7.5

I would highly recommend this hotel. It is close to the train station and the bus loop, which is important because getting around Venice is not easy with heavy luggage. The price is also low for comparable hotels. The rooms are clean, although small (I would imagine all hotel rooms are small in Venice). The breakfast is quite good and included in the price. Also, the staff is very friendly and helpful. In the room I stayed in, it was very quiet, however the walls were quite thin. I could hear the toilets and water running from the neighbouring rooms. However, I believe this is unavoidable for any hotel in this price range, since the buildings are very old.

8.0

The hotel was clean, convenient, and friendly. However our satisfaction with the hotel was spoiled by an incident. The maid threw away an irreplaceable item that was left in a plastic bag in the room. The front desk stated that nothing should be left in plastic bags as it could be mistaken for garbage. However the maid did remove ONE item from that very plastic bag, yet threw away the other item in the bag. I would recommend this hotel but beware of leaving ANYTHING in plastic bags.

8.2

Ideal in terms of location for good, reasonably priced (for Venice) facilities and the train and bus station. Hotel was comfortable, not too highly priced (for Venice) especially with current strength of Euro and weakness of UK Pound.

8.9

We spent 3 nights at Belle Epoque. Good location, nice look (rooms are very decorated), good breakfast, helpful staff. Negative: bad smell outside (we could not let the window open, quite small room (but that is a general problem in Venice), air conditioned started automatically when we left the room. I reccomend the hotel and would return there for short trips.

8.2

Ottima posizione, a pochi passi dalla stazione ferroviaria e dall'imbarco dei vaporetti, abbondanza di ristoranti lungo la stessa via. Sulla pulizia nulla da eccepire, efficienti i bagni, silenziose le camere e ben arredate. Un po' stretta la zona buffet per la colazione (adeguata anche se non molto varia, deliziose le brioches). Nella reception infastidisce l'odore di chiuso quando è in funzione l'aria condizionata, nulla di grave però. Personale cortese e disponibile. Il rapporto qualità/prezzo mi sembra adeguato per l'alta stagione (due persone in matrimoniale ad agosto). In conclusione il soggiorno si è rivelato piacevole e senza alcun inconveniente: i punti di forza sono la posizione perfetta, le camere stile '700 e il prezzo adeguato.

7.6

The only negative I encountered was the gentleman who maned the front desk in the afternoon and early evenings. He was curt and rather abrupt when I asked simple questions. One time I had to wait at least 5 minutes while he was on a personal phone call, he just ignored me. Otherwise I was very pleased with our stay. The room was small but very adequate. It was quiet, a/c worked well and the bathroom was very adequate. The directions given were very good and it's location so close to the train station, was great.

8.6

Belle Epoque will forever be a part of my special memories of visiting the majical city of Venice. My room was quiet, clean, well furnished and very comfortable. The bathroom was also clean and spacious. I was very amused by the silk padded walls and the mirrors on the ceiling. I had travelled to the area to run a half marathon, and even with my large apetite I found the breakfast to be more than ample with good variety. The coffee served was close to the best I experienced in Italy. The hotel's location is excellent. It is very close to the train station so walking with luggage to the hotel is easy. The thousands of interesting shops and resteraunts begin immidiately outside the front door, and once beginning down the first narrow street I didn't stop exploring until many hours later. A turn from the hotel's front door in the other direction leads one to either the first beautiful foot-bridge across the main canal or the water transit station. After a three day stay I saddly left Venice by train for Florence. However, while on the train I realized I had left my pasport and valuables in the hotel safe back in Venice. I wasn't even upset that I had to get off the train in Balogne to return to the Belle Epoque one more time to get my pasport, and also to have one more pizza and beer beside the canal. And to say final good-bye's to the most friendly staff at the Belle Epoque. I plan to return next year with my wife. Another stay at the Belle Epoque is part of the Venice experience I hope to share with her.

6.5

Yes,it is my first staying there. It depends on my inspiration.

8.1

The only disconcerting fact about this hotel is that the lift goes only upto the 3rd floor. One has to carry luggage one floor up to the fourth floor where we had two rooms. When I asked at the reception about the lift the man said "be thankful there is a lift to the third floor. In three star hotels you dont have any lifts, but we have one upto the third." It was quite rude, but perhaps it only sounded rude because he did not speak good good English. It aslo made me think that he had a myopic vision about the hotel industry as many two star hotels also have lifts. In one block there is no lift at all. My room was in this block, the stairs were steep and I did not bother to take my luggage up at all. Its quite an inconvenience in an otherwise excellent hotel.

9.0

Location is great, 3 minutes walk from St Lucia Train Station. Virtually you can go anywhere from here. Hotel room is well decorated. A triple room we book eventually doesn't have lift access, so taking big luggage would be issue. But for other rooms we stayed have lift. Breakfast is Italian standard, good but not many varieties.

8.8

We stayed for 4 days. Nice and comfortable location! Good service and facilities! I would definitely recommend! Visiting Venice agian I would the book the same hotel!

6.4

En general el servicio es satisfactorio, podrían mejor en la bienvenida y el acceso a wi-fi en las habitaciones pues te cobran el servicio pero no tiene buena cobertura.

8.0

I've book a single room. The site of VENERE said that the hotel had lift. But when I came there, the man wich were in reception said that single rooms didn't have access by lift, only by stairs. I've a disability and the Venere.com din't said nothing about that...Finally, the man have offered me a double room in ground floor. But I was very nervous...

9.8

Interaction w/ staff was overall very positive. Personable and efficient. Hotel seems to attract families and single tourists. Breakfast was adequate. The only negative was the rooftop solarium was closed and that is what had attracted me to this property.

6.5

Estuvimos 2 días. Desayuno buffet triste, como en todos los de Italia norte en que he estado. Lo malo: un tio semicalvo y borde de unos 40 y pico años de la recepción me vaciló con que no sabía inglés (porque no entendía su respuesta) y resultó que fue él el que no sabe (porque no entendió mi pregunta y respondió cualquier cosa. Vaya payaso). No confundir con calvete de unos 30 y tantos majete. El resto bien. A 1 minuto o menos del tren en la calle principal. Habitaciones reformadas. We stayed 2 days. Poor buffet breakfast, like in all North Italy hotels where I've stayed. A stupid half-bald recepcionist told me I didn't know speak english (because I didn't understand his answer) and later we got to another conclusion: it was him who didn't speak (because he didn't understand my question and answered anything). Rest of thing were OK, 1 minute or less far from trains in the main street. Renovated rooms.

6.7

Reception was really poor. The guy must have had a bad or troubled day. He was rude for no reason.

7.3

The Hotel is located only 5 minutes from the train station. The nearby is full of shops and restaurants. But it's not so close to San Marco. The rooms are lovely designed. Unfortunately our room was really small but clean, quiet and air-conditioned. The breakfast is adequate. The staff is friendly. We enjoyed the stay.

7.9

Laggage room for customer can not lock and no body take a look at there is the only problem, else are good.

8.5

La stanza singola non era molto spaziosa, per un soggiorno breve è comunque ottima. Camere tranquille e pulite. Buono rapporto qualità/prezzo.

7.8

I must going up one floor by stairs to my room with my bags.

9.2

Nice hotel, very good location - just near train station & near Pi. Roma . Breakfast was o.k. The room was small ,but still a Great value for the price, Highly recommended

10

Pretty nice hotel, clean, and very well located. The customer service was great. Breakfast was good also.

9.9

We paid 80 Euros and got the highest quality in Venice! It's a 3 star hotel located conveniently near the train station (3 min walk) and on a main street of Venice. The hotel is very elegant with beautiful decor. Breakfast was included. We had a large bathroom and a balcony in the back of the hotel so it was quiet. I will always stay at Belle Epoque if I ever go to Venice again and would recommend it to everyone!!!

8.9

We loved the hotel, we had a very large room, 1st floor, in front. New bathroom. Very quiet. The air condition was just perfect. Great breakfast. We choose this hotel, for its location (post-cruise) and near everything, restaurants, cafés, train bus stations. Can't wait to go back.

8.9

excellent hotel & great location for exploring Venice

8.8

The hotel is nice located close to the railway and the big parking places. Lots of street life just outside the hotel. The rooms are big an comfortable but we where disturbed by the sound of water running somewhere behind the walls. We never found out where it came from. Venice is an expensive place to stay but this hotel has a high standard compaired to the price.

3.2

Mold smell in room, on noisy street, maids left room unlocked all day, some of the hotel staff dont even acknowledge you when you enter or leave. Left room keys out for anyone to take while you were out.

9.4

The price-performance ratio was very good and for a next stay in Venice we would choose the hotel again.

9.5

great location, friendly service, very accomadating with luggage pre-check-in and post check-out. Good food for breakfast. Highly recommend. Wish we could have stayed longer.

8.7

I stayed just one night with my mother but it was enough to say that this hotel is super. The rooms are lovely as shown in the photos, very clean and silent (our room faced a quite courtyard). Breakfast is okay and has a large choice. The nearby is full of shops and restaurants. It's not so close to San Marco, but it's okay if you stay for a short period and you need to be close to the rail station. I will surely come back!

9.6

Excellent value for money hotel,short walking distance of Bus and train station and easy access to main areas.

8.7

nice room and excellent location(near train station), and the room I live is much more nicer than I expect. The only one thing is not good..there is some smell from the room. But over all is very nice, breakfast great,clean room,nice staff ,price ok ;) I'm satisfy with their service!!

7.8

We recommended this Hotel Receptionist speack French and are very helpful

9.3

Hôtel très agréable, situé tout près de la gare, à une demi-heure de l'aéroport et desservi par de nombreuses lignes de vaporetti. Chambres spacieuses et confortables. Petit-déjeuner copieux inclus. Personnel polyglotte. A recommander

6.1

Le service à la réception dépendait beaucoup de l'employé "de garde": une jeune femme charmante, un jeune homme très correct ou un homme mûr très sec et peu attentionné, ce qui n'est pas très agréable, surtout si c'est lui qui accueille le premier jour. De même, les personnes qui s'occupaient du petit déjeuner n'étaient pas des plus enjouées. Un peu juste les articles de la salle de bain pour un trois étoiles: une petite savonnette et une pochette de gel douche pour chacun. Dommage car l'hôtel est très bien situé et les chambres et parties communes meublées avec beaucoup de goût.

8.6

Molto molto carino! Le stanze sono esattamente come appaiono nelle foto: il loro stile, che i altre città potrebbe risultare un po' pacchiano, a Venezia è assolutamente adatto ed aiuta ad immergersi in un'atmosfera settecentesca. Unica nota negativa, il cattivo odore nei pressi della reception

9.1

The rooms where very small, but that was not an inconvenient, they were very well decorated. The location of the hotel and price very good. The breackfast was nice. The woman receptionist in the morning was very very nice and kind. Not to say the same from the man in the evenings: that was the only fault we found in the hotel.

9.9

couple,older 35+ yes

8.5

The only negative point is the poor view from the room windows.

8.4

Rapport qualité/prix excellent pour Venise. Localisation parfaite: quelques pas de Santa Lucia station et des vaporato désservant Venise et les iles à toutes heures du jour et de la nuit. Hotel refait et meublé dans le style Vénitien avec gout. Buffet de petit déjeuner bien rempli. Bon accueil sympathique. Le gardien décrit comme mal aimable est toujours là. Mais il travail énormement sur de très longues journées. Ceci explique peut être cela. Nous avons réussi à le faire sourire. Nous y retournerons.

9.8

4 all the people that finds this hotel and compare to the San Marco square and looks that far..its not...from hotel to that no longer then 20 min max on foot....10 to the Rialto Bridge....stayng on a hotel close to san marco would make u keep that area but getting this one u will see all the way to the hotel and its surounding which are great... so its very close to piazzale roma just be sure when u leave that piazzale u are doing it on that high long glass bridge then walk that street where u will pass in front of the train station u'll find the hotel ...has the best entrance ...very cute rooms are big enough for the price..i paid 60Euro brekfast included....smells nice in the room ,everyday cleaning and towels changed,overall it was greeat..has that venice looks that would want to have but without the smell of oldies not so great was all day everyday breakfast....we stayed 5 nights soo...we were kinda tired but we managed and tried to eat everyday difrent from all they had so...get the hotel its the best ...worth it ,better in real

7.7

Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis im Monat März war für venezianische Verhältnisse sehr gut! Die Lage ist eine gute Basis; Vaporetto-Station um die Ecke. Das Einzelzimmer war allerdings sehr klein, mit defekter Klimaanlage. Schöner Frühstücksraum und Empfangshalle. Frühstück war noch ok. Insgesamt ein empfehlenswertes Hotel!

7.3

IT WAS A WONDERFULL NIGHT, BUT THE ROOM WAS TOO SMALL!

8.1

Very good Break fast. The place is very clean and i loved to stay there. The interiors are well designed. Few mins walk to Railway station. Good restaurants around to try the taste of food. Few draw backs - The room space is smaller. The price quoted was costly (May be because of carnival but it was more expensive)

9.9

Excellent Hotel! I rate it as 4 stars and not only 3. Decoration is superb! It's closed to the Train Station. Only 20-30 min walking to Marco's square.

7.7

Good value for the location and the standard and size of rooms. Very convenient location for both bus and train station. Staff we met were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and would also stay again ourselves.

5.4

our room was clean, quite and looked good. however, we did not have a safe or fridge in our room. the breakfast was reasonable, except for the very cramped servicing area and uncovered dishes. the location was great and close to the train station. the main down-side to this hotel was the service from one reception employee (Franco) in particular. he was very rude on our arrival and also later when we asked for a blanket (when all our blankets from our wardrobe were removed). instead he just shut off our A/C which meant we had no ventilation. when we reported this to him (he was on overnight), he became angry as if it was our problem that the A/C was too cold and that there were no blankets in our room! he refused to bring us a blanket or turn up our thermostat (there were no temperature controls in the room) until i went down myself to confronted him about this at reception. he then turned up our thermostat (requiring only a few seconds of work!) and got a blanket for us. i was very disappointed by this lack of courtesy and service by the hotel staff, and it should not have come to that! other hotel staff were more reasonable.

9.0

This hotel would have been a "perfect 10" were it not for the seeming lack of interest of the staff, especially the staff at the front desk. They never seemed to smile or make eye contact or initiate conversation. They never asked, "How is everything?" or even said, "Hello" or "Have a nice day" when we walked past the front desk. And yet, we'd go there again in a heartbeat. Why? We thought it was the best deal in town. Warning: Even though there are elevators, depending on the room you're given, you could still need to climb some serious stairs.

8.8

Good location, within short walking distance of railway station and a few metres from waterbus stop at end of the Grand Canal. Helpful and obliging staff and an excellent breakfast. Given the high price of many hotels in Venice, the Belle Epoque is also good value for money.

8.7

Nice. Interior of the hotel was good. It was close to the station.

7.7

If you are travelling by rail the position of this hotel is outstanding. It is a little basic but at the end of the day you do not come to Venice to spend much time in your hotel. For convenience I would stay again.

8.6

great for an overnight stay in Venice...close to Sta Lucia station

8.6

Really nice and good Hotel. We really enjoyed our 3 night stay. brilliant location. Nice staff and nothing negative to say about this hotel.

9.1

This is a great hotel! The room was small but still large enough! A beautiful room we felt really at home, with a nice bathroom. The room was air conditioned and had a very good location!

8.6

Al met al een prima hotel. Lekker dicht bij de centrale bushalte en waterbus. En middenin het winkelcentrum. Bij aankomst kregen we een wat kleine kamer toegewezen waarbij het toilet niet bleek te werken. Hierop werd prima geanticipeerd, want we kregen heel snel een andere kamer. Deze was een stuk groter en voldeed prima! Een gelukje dus. Helaas wel de laatste avond (van ons 4-daagse verblijf) deed de airco het niet meer. Geen andere kamers meer beschikbaar, dus zweten de laatste nacht.. Ondanks deze laatste tegenvaller een prima hotel. Kamernummer 606 is aan te bevelen!

7.5

nice hotel close to the train station. very nice rooms and interiors. helpful staff. poor breakfast (as usual in italy)

8.7

Hotel tranquilo, reformado recientemente, con habitación espaciosa y agradable. Limpieza e higiene habitaciones excelente. Trato discreto y amable del personal. Recomendable a pesar del café del desayuno

8.4

don't expect hallo, how are you, or thanks from the reception staff. at least the guys who were on duty during our stay acted like key handing and money receiving machines. no smile, nothing. otherwise the hotel is very good value for money, most conevenient location, quiet rooms, nice decor, good breakfast.

7.7

Accueil très désagréable du réceptionniste (heureusement les 2 autres étaient aimables). Ai eu 1 chambre minuscule au 2e sans ascenseur. Climatisation non réglable. Très bel hôtel bien décoré, très bien placé

7.8

Staying in this hotel I got the feeling that at one time it may have been a popular, busy hotel but now it is empty and a bit sad. The location of the hotel as about 20 minutes walking from Sorrento, and a 10 minute bus ride which is pretty infrequent. While the location was inconvenient the area was nice and quite and there was a beautiful restaurant on the cliff side down the block. So if you are looking for a quite hotel outside of the touristy hustle of Sorrento, this place is for you.

9.7

The room was great, roomy and romantically attractive. AC worked great. Location was very convenient for travel by train and a nice stroll to St Marks square with shops and canals along the way. Breakfast was quite satisfying. The employees were very nice and helpful with the exception of one man who wouldn't acknowledge us when we asked questions or even greeted him, not a big deal though since there was usually more than one employee at the front desk. We would stay here again.

7.8

We were welcomed by a desk clerk who was rather sparing with words in any language so we did not receive the usual Italian welcome that you can usually rely upon. Also one of the rooms allocated to us was accessed via a very steep open tread wooden staircase leading to some sort of annex building which also had a very low roof, so was totally inappropriate for either of the two middle aged couples for this booking. That said we immediately asked for a room change as was given one, but again without a word from the desk clerk. However after a staff shift change we came across more client friendly reception staff, the complete opposite in fact, which restored our belief that Italians are once of the friendliest of people. The rooms were clean and quiet despite being only a few yards from the main hustle and bustle of the train station and water taxi depots. The only other comment I would make, is that although the breakfast was very good and plentiful, the area in which the buffet was served was more like a small galley kitchen on a boat than a hotel and as one large party of Americans all needed to eat together so as to leave together, it made breakfas a bit of a rush and push event which was unfortunate because the dining room itself was very nice and the staff very helpful and pleasant.

8.0

My husband and I stayed there for 2 nights. The hotel is not cheap but this is Venice! Recently renovated, decor is very luxuriant and 'belle epoque' and attention to detail for room decor is to be appreciated. Location is good, just next to Ferrovia station and walking distance from Piazzale Roma (not a friendly walk if you carry heavy luggage though). There are many shops and restaurants on the same street (Lista di Spagna). Breakfast, included in our rate, was pretty diverse (not just the usual continental croissants) and staff friendly and accommodationg. We'd stay there again.

8.5

Beautifully Clean, Excellent Maid service, All Towels changed Daily. Buffet Breakfast very good value, good choice. Superb, Clean Breakfast Room. Shame about the unmoved, generally unfriendly Reception Chap - Gives wrong image to a very good Hotel. Enjoyed our stay - recommended!

4.8

Too expensive for what is is but it's a nice quiet hotel if you don't have a room on the street

5.1

It is a nice hotel. Convenient access to train station. It is expensive to young couple.

8.7

The hotel was very easy to find, near the vaporetta stop and although on busy street our room was quiet. The breakfasts were good and the decor excellent. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends.

7.8

Fairly formal, starchy reception but breakfast staff v friendly, and breakfast excellent. Hotel perfectly located on main drag near station. Furnishings and decor old-school, rooms spacious but dark. V quiet considering location. Clientele fairly elderly though some families. All in all, value for money (for Venice).

5.7

It's a beautiful, quiet, and clean hotel but the staff leaves much to be desired.

5.0

I didnt read all the reviews before I went, but mainly went by the main rating which I dont agree with - it had above 8. . However,I also needed a place close to the station so that had a part to play in my decision. But then if I had had a different room it might have been a different experience. As it happens I had a small dark room, and the dark brocade material and huge chandellier above the bed made it feel claustrophobic. As usual, the plumbing wasnt good, so one could hear everyone else using their showers, toilets etc. You might ask why I didnt change rooms, but I was only there for 2 nights and had little free time. The breakfast room didnt have any windows so I felt light deprived during my time in the hotel. Venice is difficult, I know, there are few single rooms and every little available space is used.

9.5

A really wonderfull location for going in a wonderfull town!

10

Good location, nicely decorated spacious rooms, nice public areas. Rich breakfast. Price/quality ratio is very good, quality is much higher than generally in this price category. I recommend it for everyone.

7.9

It was a very nice room with beautiful furniture. Only problem was the double bed was made from two twin beds thus made it uncomfortable. Breakfast was good and the location was even better, 2 min walk from trainstation. Also next to Brek, a great place to eat.

10

First time here ... nice hotel, helpful staff, great breakfast.

8.6

This was our first visit to Venice. We stayed 4 nights during the holidays. The Belle Epoque was conveniently located and moderately priced. The staff went out of their way to give us good service. The desk manager, Giovanni was especially helpful. The breakfast was one of the best parts and well worth it in quality and service. We would stay here again.

7.3

Nice hotel, however we did have some major concerns. When we arrived at the hotel, there was no staff member at the desk or within sight. This ordinarily would not have been a problem if it weren't for the pile of 25 passports sitting right on the desk. Had we been of a less honest nature we could have walked right out with these passports and never have anyone say a word. This concerned us very much and once a staff member did arrive to check us in, we refused to give him our passports. We offered to give him the copies we had brought with us in case out passports were stolen. This took a lot of arguing but he finally gave in. Another concern was that the bed was actually made of two smaller matresses pushed together into one that were constantly coming apart. There was nothing holding them together. This is quite a problem for a young couple who would like to cuddle. My girlfriend and myself were extremely uncomfortable as we each kept falling into "the crack" as we came to call it. This really was a let down. On a positive note, the hotel was perfectly located. Very close to Ferrovia water-bus stop, the train station as well as Plaza Roma where the bus from the airport stops.

9.7

It was first visit in Venice. he hotel was the first place we went and we were trully amazed! If we go to enice again we will stay at Belle Epoque again! Nice staff, clean room, superb decorations!

9.6

Closeness to station, easy to find. Lovely entrance and foyer. Nice selection for breakfast Stayed 2 nights.

6.5

there isn't the refrigerator inside the room.

9.3

The hotel is really nice, located in an excellent position to move around in every part of the town. I had a wonderful stay. Breakfast could be more various. Exscellent Hotel, however!

8.3

We had a spacious room at the back of what is a large hotel. Very comfortable bed, with excellent bathroom, lift and good quality breakfast room. Very accessible location for Venice, just 100 metres from the train station and canal transport - you'd get lost trying to find anywhere else to stay. Plenty of basic restaurants and services nearby. It would be popular (and probably noisier for some of the rooms) in the peak season. Reception staff not so useful with information.

6.1

Good location....but very eccentric hotel. In October they had just switched their Air con system over to heating only and it was baking hot. We had to open the window and the noise from the side alley was dreadful....from around 5 a.m. Wierd take on rococco design... the mirrored bedroom ceiling was the most memorable aspect of this stay!! Beware the restaurant opposite the hotel on the canal...shockingly bad, with of course rude staff...but that's a given for Venice!

9.8

Belle Epoque was a fantastic value for the price! Recently remodeled, the rooms were nicely furnished and decorated. Beautiful tile in the bathroom and a hair dryer provided. Nice large balcony. Full breakfast including meats, cheeses, eggs, fruits, juices, breads, cappuccino, etc. served buffet style in a gorgeous dining room. All the staff were competent, helpful and friendly. Fellow travellers were all personable as well.

6.3

The Hotel Belle Epoque was in a fabulous location very close to the train station. The hotel and room itself were delightfully decorated and reasonably quiet. The wait staff was nice and attentive. There were two huge drawbacks though. When I sincerely asked for the proper pronounciation of "bon journo" from the man behind the desk, as I walked away, he verbally mocked me. It's a shame that this one person spoiled my view of the hotel. Plus, I walked away the next day with 16 begbug bites. While my friend only got one bite, the bugs seemed to feast on me. The place seemed quite clean but please, if anyone chooses to stay there, check for bugs. Diane

5.4

We stayed one night here because hotel accomodations not available at hotel we desired. Was put up into converted attic. We had two rooms, both would be classified as double. Worn out bed, up a 12" wide staircase that was dangerous to climb. Not particularly hospitable. Would classify as an OK stay. Stayed at Abbazia for 3 nights after this and for $40 more a night, got EXCELLENT service and accomodations. Could actually sleep on bed.

9.9

Hotel was beautiful, just as beautiful as the pictures. Rooms were a decent size (for european standards) and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect - literally a 2 minute walk from the train station. Would definitely stay here again.

7.9

Most staff members were extremely courteous and always willing to help. They know how to speak many different languages to help clients from almost all over the world. They were very knowledgeable about tours, shopping etc. However, they were short-staffed on the night of our arrival, forgot to separate the beds, gave us the sheets, and we had to make the beds ourselves. Other than that, great place to stay in a great location.

5.1

Limpio, pieza muy pequeña y decoracion sobrecargada. Bien ubicado. Staff atento pero lo justo. Desayuno bueno. Lo recomiendo para no > de 3 dias

9.4

Este hotel esta cerca de la estación de trenes y a mano de todo en vaporeto ,la zona es muy movida e iluminada .La gente del hotel es muy amable el baño es chico pero no perjudica el resto del confort.

8.6

Great Hotel with a great 'Venicean' feel and decorated very nicely. In terms of staying somewhere with Venicean atmosphere/decorations without paying the price of the luxury hotels this place is perfect! Close to 'water-bus' station and main station it is easy to track down and serves a nice breakfast in the morning! Everything else as Ive rated it!

8.7

Great location in relation to the train station. Lots of shopping close by, and some good food as well.

9.2

This hotel was very clean and very close to the train station. Maybe 1 city block away, walk out of the train station turn left and its on the left no bridge to cross..The breakfast was great.. It really was better than anything I have ever gotten in Europe. I could have a second cup of cappaccino. The price was great for peak season, great location I would stay there again. We had a triple in the room and it was enough room to sleep and move around..what more do you need? I would recommend eating at La Madonna it where the locals eat.. it's near the rialto.

8.9

If you are looking for an extremely quiet hotel very close to the train station then look no further. It is the quietest hotel room I have ever stayed in. Their breakfast was excellent, the staff knowledgeable and there was no problem with English. The rooms are small which is typical for Europe so don't be looking for a typical American hotel room.

7.0

The hotel is very near to the train station and close to the water busses making your travel in Venice very comfortable. This was a huge plus for us. The rooms very just about comfortably spacious, but were too much for the price we were paying. However, the prices of hotels in Venice in July skyrocket due to touristic season. The staff was not comfortable with English and thus the communication had few gaps making welcoming unsatisfactory. However, later when our rooms bathroom was not functioning properly, the manager changed our room to a bigger room. The rooms also had good Air condition as Venice can get hot during July. Overall, it was a decent experience.

Staff were unwelcoming, no smiles, no greetings. No explanation of breakfast times etc. Leaking in bathroom with badly stained ceiling and flaking plaster. Good location and easy to find on arrival.
