Hotel Canal & Walter - Venice

8.1

As many other travelers have indicated, this property is conveniently located walking distance to the train station. Easy access to the immediate area without feeling "lost in the maze". Along with several others, this was a "stop over" place before departing on a cruise ship. However, we would not marginalize this property as only for one night stays. Our stay was in late October, so fortunately we did not need to rely on the air conditioner which really did not work. This hotel was a very nice 3-star and reasonably priced for its excellent location.

9.5

the rooms are exactly as in pictures. We also had a lovely room overlooking the garden.Whide selection of food for the breakfast. We will come back again

9.7

7.8

the staff was ok , the location perfect but the building very bad.

7.0

Direkt gegenüber Bahnhof und der Calatrava-Brücke. Sehr gute Lage für Leute die mit dem Zug kommen. 4-Bett Zimmer prima. Das Frühstück war besser als erwartet mit Müsli, Rosinenbrötchen und Croissants. Der "amerikanische" Kaffee zum Zapfen ist grausam. Auf freundliche Nachfrage bekommt aber auch Latte macchiato etc. Sauber aber mit Staub unter dem Bett. TV mit einem deutschen SenderInsgesamt positiver Aufenthalt (4 Tage).

8.8

Loved the uniqness of the hotel, the courtyard for breakfast and leisure etc the decor of the rooms was wonderful and quaint

9.8

excellent stay!!!!! it is great to have a garden in venice to have a rest after discovering the city. Personell very professional and helpful, nice and romanic room, clean hotel, good breakfast.... I advice it to everybody!

9.8

My friend and I stayed in a double room, and our window was facing the main canal. The hotel was small, no elevator, furniture is old but the truth is that it added to the overall Venice experience... We loved it! Bathroom was pretty standard. The staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable!! Venice is not built for big luggage... pack light or you'll struggle!!!

7.1

Lovely little hotel in excellent location(especially as we arrived at the bus station quite late at night.We were lucky enough to have the room with a balcony overlooking the grand canale.The hotel had faded charmed just as I had imagined a Venetian Hotel to be.Breakfast was more than adequate for continental type.Would definatley stay there again.

4.4

It is understandable that most of the hotels around the area, including the Canal and Walter, have an old structure and have been in business for many years. But what I didn't like was the fact that the room that we were assigned with seemed to have the kitchen vent connected to it , therefore unpleasant smells from the kitchen invaded the room and bathroom. Also the bathroom tub was not cleaned properly. But I also have to say that the staff from the front desk was extremely nice and helpful . They definitely made the stay a bit better. Thanks!

8.9

good choice for short holiday... Very close to bus and train station. Very good price payed to be in a 3 star hotel. Breakfast very good and vith a vide selection of food for a 3 star and for the price paied.

7.1

There is a Bar and Restaurant beside the hotel, by the Grand Canal, nice view.

2.7

location was good but the room was very small. there was a bad smelling inside the room. breakfast was poor and it was not worth to pay the rent by 79 euro/night.

7.7

Not to good breakfast

9.1

Excellent value for money, nice location, friendly staff.

6.4

Good location near the train station, bus station and water bus. There were some minor problems (eg a heater that couldn't be turned low) but overall everything was fine.

7.8

I was tremendously inconvenienced by Hotel Canal & Walter's inability to break a 500 EUR banknote when I was paying my bill (70 EUR). It is unacceptable for a business of this type to not have change or to be able to assist customers in this regard. Access to Internet has become an essential part of staying in touch with family and business. I would have enjoyed my stay considerably more had there been wireless Internet access, even if it were limited to the Lobby area. A walk-up computer was available in the lobby, but only at a considerable cost.

7.9

Well situated very near Bus Station and Railway Station with frequent waterbuses to St Mark's Square. Couldn't be better with good selection of shops and restaurants near the Railway Station.

8.3

Great location on Grand Canal across from train station and close to parking garages. Easy to get everywhere. Staff was helpful and friendly. Room a little small, typical for Europe. Less noisy than I expected considering location. I would definitely stay there again.

7.1

Stayed 2 nights in a room overlooking the canal. Nice, but noisy at night as that part of the canal front is a walkway into the rest of the island. Very easy access to the station and pleasant walk from there to other places on the island. Room was old fashioned and small, but fine for our purposes. The staff were helpful and the breakfast was good. Fairly good value - as Venice goes, but Venice is an expensive place.

7.9

thank you

8.7

Great location, easy to find, difficult to reach via walking due to the stair bridge - worth the money to take a boat across the Grand Canal. Very accomodating staff. Great option for family of four with young teens.

7.4

Stayed in a room for 4 people facing the canal. Excellent view, great for first night in Venice. Property hard to find. Maybe picture of front hotel on website would help. Very close to Piazale Roma.

6.7

hotel needs elevator, and this very worm away in external and very small tv.

7.5

Small and very nice hotel. Quiet, clean. Excellent placed on the city, in front of grand canal and near the trail station, buses and vaporetto stop. I would stay there in case visiting Venice again, although our room was not as nice as the photographs in the web.

5.5

A basic hotel that is tired, a little shabby & needs some TLC. However, it provided us with a room that accommodated 4 adult family members and was convenient to the train station and the vaporetto.

0.8

This is my worst hotel experience ever. For the price we were paying this so called 3 star which was actually a 2 star hotel - stated by the Venice Tourism Board Official Classification Certificate on the back of the room door (Venire please change it to a 2 star!!!) we were able to stay at a real 3 star which was much cheaper and didn't look like a hotel that had not been maintained for 20 years. The breakfast was pathetic.

5.2

I thought that for the price the hotel, rooms & breakfast could have been worlds better. It was a little hard to find the hotel, they could do a better job advertising the actual house number on the outside. Meal in the morning was kind of poor, not too many choices. Room was clean but small as was the bathroom, did have a "window" to the channel but you couldn't get it open. Had some language problems when checking in & out though we did manage to make ourselves understood. We were charged for the room before departing on our trip then they "charged" card again when we departed the hotel, luckily there has only been one actual charge to my card...that was a big misunderstanding between what the website said & what the desk clerk actually told us.

9.0

3 nights in March--a wonderful stay at this very typical little hotel. Flying solo, the room 311 up three flights was just about perfect for my needs. Two shuttered windows looking out back, better than the canal view, considering. Birds singing at dawn; bread rising. Perfectly modern bathroom with a window hatch for ventilation. Large, comfortable bed suitable for a couple. Convenient for the train station, a big deal here as you must haul your own stuff; backing into a student quarter in the Dorsoduro, inexpensive panini and tramezzini and good wine by the glass, as well as morning coffee. That counts because the breakfast room serves Nescafe, not home-brew. But that's where you want your coffee anyway if the local scene is what you're after. I liked the simple, marble-topped writing table in the room, local in feeling like all the furniture. I will bring my wife and daughter here next time. Complaints by US tourists are way out of line. This is as much as you need from a hotel in Venice.

7.4

Room was a bit small for mature family of 4 but it is what we expected in Venice at this price range, from the information we gleaned from others and previous experience. Being right on the Canal with a view was fantastic but this also meant that it was very noisy, with canal water traffic and pedestrian traffic. It was easy to find and access from the train station, though dragging bags up stairs can be exhausting! It was a great way to experience the life of Venezia depite the noise. Furniture was aged "antique" but interesting.European breakfasts were adequate but could do with some imagination and perhaps a smile from the staff.Having said all this, overall good value for money considering the location in Venezia.

0.8

The room was awful, the staff rude and unhelpful. The location was great as we were only staying one night and wanted to be close to the train station. However I would suggest that there are better places in venice for the price.

6.9

close to the train station, about 5~10 mins walk. building outside is pretty old but room is ok.

8.6

Location and price are the best things about this hotel. Nearly all the staff are very helpful, knowledgable and professional.

7.3

We stayed in room 115 and it was small (to be expected), clean and comfortable with a view of the Grand Canal. The location was ideal - great for those catching a cruise ship. It is very close the Piazza Roma, train station and vaporetto stop. Also, there is a good selection of shops and restaurants surrounding the hotel. The staff was knowledgable and helpful. We would stay there again.

6.0

Hotel ok room spaceous and clean. Views directly onto canal. Need to sort out the shower which sprays down onto the taps then shoots in all different directions and no shower curtain to contain the water. Resolved situation by having a bath instead, not ideal.

7.2

ES UN HOTEL,EXELENTEMENTE SITUADO,POR SU CERCANIA A PLAZA DE ROMA Y LA ESTACION FERROVIARIA. EL DESAYUNO MUY A LA ITALIANA(ESCASO), LA HABITACION REGULAR PERO LIMPIA, AL BAÑO LE VENDRIA BIEN UNA MODERNIZADA, PARCE BAÑO DE LOS AÑOS 30,ESTE VERANO(2007)FUE SUMAMANTE CALUROSO Y EL AIRE ACONDICIONADO EN TEORIA ESTABA FUNCIONANDO, HABITACION SOFOCANTE POR LA NOCHE, NO SE ACONSEJA ESTE HOTEL A PERSONAS CON DISCAPACIDAD,NO TIENE ELEVADOR Y HAY QUE SUBIR ESCALERAS EMPINADAS.EL PERSONAL DEL HOTEL SOLO HACE SU TRABAJO, COMO AUTOMATAS, NO SONRIEN, PARECE QUE ESTAN HARTOS DEL TURISMO QUE LES DA DE COMER.

8.1

Excellent staff,very helpful. Room as expected. Breakfast very good for continental/buffet.

8.2

The location is good, right on the grand canal. The bus stop and train station are close. Breakfast was a typical Italian with a good selection. The accommodation cost was on the high side but that seems to be the case with most in Venice. You don't get much for your bucks. This was our 2nd stay at this hotel.

7.2

Good location but overpriced. Breakfast lady would not bring out pastries the second morning until (we) the Americans left. She made some insulting remark about Americans and was very unfriendly. We spend our American dollar in Venice and she should appreciate it. We spent 1.5 dollars for 1 Euro. The desk clerk was good and made up for her rudness. I would probably stay here again.

2.8

Good location close to bus station,so as one and can flee as quickly as possible.Venice is wonderful.But this Hotel should be sunk into the canal.

4.6

In Venice, for a 3-star hotel, I expected a small room and no elevator. However, for the price,the hotel should provide decent bedspreads, clean walls, and a shower curtain. The shower was visibly moldy with obvious smell. These things can be dealt with no matter how old the building. The view of the canal is good, no noise from train station but there is noise from constant foot traffic. Exterior entrance view of the hotel is awful, almost scary at first sight, but hotel is larger than it looks with a good breakfast room.

8.6

This hotel was great simply based on the ease of access to the main train station and the main vaporetta station. Their are several restaurants within a short walk that are excellent and it is only a 20 minute boat ride and 30 minute walk to St Mark's square. A little pricey but well worth it.

8.1

Our stay here was quite satisfying. The room was spacious and clean and the small garden at the rear for breakfast or socializing was a wonderful surprise. Hotel staff was helpful and courteous. We were able to store our luggage when we arrived early. We particularly appreciated the location on the Grand Canal and just two blocks from the Piazzle Roma and the bus station. We were close to one of the main bridges and close to shopping and bistros.

7.5

We stayed on two different occasions at the hotel. Our first room was so small that I had to go outside just to change my mind. The second room was better. Overall, I would definitely return. The location was superb as it relates to ease of transportation. We saw so many people of all ages and sizes hauling their numerous luggages around Venice. It was so simple to reach this hotel from the bus stop. I highly recommend it for ease and simplicity. It is not fancy by any means, but it was very comfortable, expect the showers.

0.6

I would NEVER recommend this hotel to anyone. We reserved and received a confirmation for a quad Grand Canal view room and ended up with an inside room with no view. I reserved this room nine months in advance and they had plenty of time to let me know I would not have the room I requested. The air conditioning was non existent. The window was broken and repaired with duct tape (I am not kidding). After you take a shower a very strong sewage smell comes out of the floor drain and it is so strong that you have to leave the room. We ended up putting wet towels over the floor drain in order to stifle the smell. If you want a nice stay in Venice, avoid this hotel!

7.6

WE stayed here for 2 nights. The hotel is in a very good location. IT was bars next door and the ferry stop 2 minutes walk away. I suugest you book a room with a canal view, as our had a view of the rubbish bins which was not plesent. Everything wa fine apart from the breakfast. This was nasty with stale rolls, tinned fruit and hot milk for cereal. But apart from that it was fine.

1.9

My 3rd time to Venice. Easy to find from train station, but I won't stay at this hotel again. Far from San Marcos and no good resturants around the hotel. Customer Serivce very poor and the price is tooooooooooooo high for that hotel. Breakfast not good at all. I mean it was BAD.Pay little bit more and stay in San Marcos.

6.6

Was very difficult to find it. The name of this hotel only : Hotel Canal, written on the building. I had to confirm 4 times to receptionist, I have an reservation.

9.0

Nice hotel, very clean, close to rail and bus station. Directions from airport to piazzale roma. Buy ticket from booth at left of departures,blue no 5. This bus has space for luggage, 5 euros. Exit airport opposite departure. Bus stop across the road to the left. When you arrive at Piazzale roma. In the left corner the Vaporetta stop and the ticket office.Just to the right is a bridge. Go over the bridge and keep left. As you go around corner the grand canal is on your left. Go over the next bridge.Hotel is just over the bridge. On opposite side of grand canal is the railway station. Hope this helps.

9.4

This is sthe first time we have stayed at the Canal & Walter and it was as we expected it to be. There was everything we needed and the rooms were pleasant, alhtough one or two things were in need of repair. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet, although we would have preferred our coffee/tea to be much hotter than it was. This may be because we are English though! The supermarket (Co-op) nearby was very convenient if you wanted food to eat out. It was pleasant going into the centre via the Canal because it an enjoyable trip although sometimes rather crowded - only to be expected! I would recommend your hotel and we hope to come again some time.

2.4

We have closets larger than the room we were given. The smallest room I've ever stayed in. The worst part of the stay here was the "bites" my wife and I had in the mornings after waking. The first night I blamed the bites on bugs coming in from the open window facing the canal. The second night the windows were shut tight and again we woke up to many bites on our body. My wife wanted to complain but I just wanted to get out of there. We both realized we had been bitten by "bedbugs." GROSS! The red bites are still evident on our skin. We brought are suitcases home and sprayed flea spray on them. The sheets had not been changed while we were there either. The same spot was evident the next night on the sheets. As far as staff, Only the man at night was friendly. The women who worked the breakfast area was rude and acted like she disliked every minute of cleaning up after the visitors. Venice left a bad taste in our mouths. We were ripped off as soon as we got there. A woman and man offered to carry our bags up the steps so we could get to the other side. They then charged us about 55.00 dollars! They are con artists who prey on tourists. We were going to tip them, but the amount they charged was robbery. My crime was being foolish for not asking them "HOW MUCH" before accepting their offer. BE AWARE! Venice is the most expensive place I've ever visited and the food is not worth the price. You are paying the outlandish amounts because, "it's Venice". The water taxi was expensive and the first night they dropped us off a long way from our destination. We were responsible to catch a bus back. They need to tell people before they get on that they are going to be stranded without a way back. Very disappointing over-all.

7.2

Very nice room (114) with view on canal. My girlfriend liked it.

7.6

The location was great - accross the bridge to the Train station, very close to 2 water bus stops. The breakfast garden was very pleasant. Rooms were small (but most are in Italy). The spreadsheets were not the cleanest.

7.9

Excellent hotel with plenty of atmosphere! No elevator so refrain from many or large suitcases. My family and I enjoyed our stay!

8.3

Very well located hotel, very near to bus station which is certainly a help to anyone's first visit to Venice.

8.6

Hotel on Grand Canal,pay that little extra and get a canal facing room and watch the world pass by. If coming by train you must be fit to lug cases(usally heavy!!) down train steps and up and over canal bridge to get to hotel only to find NO ELEVATORS (LIFTS).Once you have your breath back its worth every effort.Handy to everything in Venice.

7.4

Great location for people driving in, only a short walk from parking garages. Would recomend for anyone staying only a couple of days. For longer stays, I would stay further into the city. This area is more busy and does not have as much ambience.

3.3

Hotel is in great location. The price for quality is poor. The air conditioning doesn't work - it was near impossible to sleep at night due to the lack of air. If you opened the window, mosquitoes came in. There are no elevators. Friends of ours stayed about 2 min away in a beautiful suite, with air conditioning and three windows opening to the canals for less money. There was only one staff member at the front desk who could answer questions. The rest of them said to wait until her return.

8.8

I booked this hotel because of all the comments I read. It was what I expected. We were only staying for 1 night and did pay for a room with a view. It was worth it for us. The AC doesn't get turned on till May 1st so we slept with the windows open, it is a little noisy but it didn't bother us. The bathroom was alright. They have a shower in a tub, no shower curtain so the water does get all over the place. We were on the 1st floor so dealing with the luggage wasn't too bad. We lugged our luggage over the 2 bridges from the car rental, when we were leaving we lugged it to the train station only 1 bridge,80 steps per my daughter, it is a small workout but not bad depending on your health. We booked it for the location of the train & car rental. The staff was very nice and held our luggage for the day because our train did not leave till the evening. We met the nicest people & did spend 100 euro for the gondola ride in the evening. It was worth it. My daughter 11, had the greatest time. The hotel will send you on a water taxi to Murano to a glass company at no charge. They made a vase & horse in front of us. Then they take you to the showroom & follow you around. They want you to buy. We did buy some trinkets in there but when I got back to the Hotel the items were in the shop right next store at half the price. Don't know if it's the same quality, but was good enough for souveniors.

7.7

The welcoming and staff was excellent. They knew all kinds of intresting things about Venice and were eager to help with any problems or questions. Hotel also has a possibility to get a free boat ride to Murano island to shop some glass ;).. The location was excellent, it was easy to find from the railway station (Ferrovia Santa Lucia) and a Varoretto stop just a few blocks away. (Piazzale Roma)

8.3

The location of the hotel is close to the train station so the convenience is great. Keep in mind that from the train station to the requires walking up a bridge and carrying your luggage. The staff is the epitome of professionalism and very knowledgeable. It is a small quaint hotel that met my needs. It is not opulent or posh but sufficient and accessible.

8.6

The location was very good. We had a very good wiev to Canal Grande from our room. It was marvelous. We Want to come back an other time.

8.0

The hotel that we stayed was very nice and the front desk clerks were very helpful. They stated the room was a canal view room and we had an outstanding view of the canal for a low price. The location was near everything especially the train station. A very short walking distance to restaurants and all the attractions in Venice. I would definetly stay at this hotel again.

7.1

A very lovely place to stay. We had a room that opened onto the Grand canal, down side was that the room wasn't sound proof. Breafast was lovely and the staff were great. A great place, close to the train station and the markets.

8.4

as we arrived late at night by bus the hotel was very convient. we found the location in general was excellent. And breakfast was a pleasant surprise much more than just the melba toast and pastry i expected, and having a cup of tea was heavenly,

8.5

We really enjoyed our stay in Venice and the location of the hotel is the best for people with young children as it is in few steps from public transport stations. We loved the view from the hotel to the canals and the breakfast tabel was sufficient.

4.6

This was my worst hotel stay in Italy. I expected a small room as it was Venice but, in order to make as much money as possible they had stuffed two childrens cots (not even small singles)into one room with less than 12" between them and the bathroom door was up some stairs with furniture partially blocking it. The breakfast was stale and below standards. My window looked at the other windows. I wouldn't recommend this hotel.

9.7

Perfectly located, nice and clean. Staff very professional. Breakfast very italian, but considering the price it was allright. I can highly recommend that place!

9.7

Coming off the train the hotel was across the river, so very easy to find! Considering it is very easy to get lost there, take a good map. We were on our honeymoon so we splurged on a water view and it was lovely. Having a water view is noisier with the boats, but it wasn't too bad. The room was a lot larger than we expected, which was a change from other European countries. Everything is pretty close in Venice, so we could walk anywhere from the Hotel. There is no lift but we were on a lower floor so that wasn't too much of a problem. We would recommend this hotel to our friends

9.2

We stayed in Venice for one night. The hotel is very nice and clean. The rooms are ample and decorated in the venetian style. The location is very convenient as although it is a bit far from the center it's very close to the train station and to a Vaporeto stop and anyway it's not hard to get to Piazza San Marco.

9.9

I really like this hotel. It is localizated very near the train station, and it was very important for us. The rooms are charmy and the breakfast is good. The employees are very nice.

6.7

Our room was very small the breakfast was ok if you like tinned fruit salad and juice that isnt proper fresh orange also the restaurant was all self service and very small no tea or coffee making in rooms - location was excellent and this made up for the room etc.

8.3

Excellent value small hotel opposite train station and very near bus terminal,important when you've luggage and not in the first flush of youth,with vaporetto stops virtually on your doorstep.Room was compact,to be expected in Venice, but spotlessly clean and we had our view[s] of the grand canal as booked.Good breakfast,friendly, helpful and efficient staff.We won't look any further next time we are in Venice.

10

It is a very nice Hotel. Location is fantastic. Staff were friendly and helpfull. The view on the canal from my room was romantic and super. The hotel and the bathroom were clean. It was really an excellent choice

5.9

The hotel is in a great location but the service recieved was not great. I was not expecting anything grand but when I called and asked for a canal view since this would be our first trip to Venice we decied to splurge and was very disapointed with what was recieved. We asked for directions at the front desk and he seemed as if we were bothering them also they wanted to sell us a map for 5 euros, the service was awful. But room and location were great. isabel2975@yahoo.com

7.9

Good location outside of the main tourist attractions. Thougt near to everything. Nice cleane rooms and quiet surrondings during the night time.

8.1

preciamente nelle aspettative

9.0

It is a very nice hotel. The price and cleanness is excellent. The hotel have a very good position to the bus or waterbusstations. Thanks for the great hollyday!!!

6.7

Strong sewer smell in the foyer - as indicated on other comments within your website. Rooms were small but quaint - as we expected for Europe. If noise is an issue - request a room off the Canal and stick to it. Overall a pleasant experience. Price on reservation was 55 but they tried to charge 59. Glad I had my reservation with me.

8.7

This was our first time in Venice and it was made even more enjoyable if that's possible by the location of the hotel to transport - vaporetto, train and bus terminal. We arrived by plane and caught an express bus (3 Euro) to the bus terminal, and dragged our cases up and over 2 or 3 bridges to the hotel: note this is harder than you think as all the bridges have "steps". The hotel is almost directly opposite the train terminal so if you can find that on a map, you'll have no problem locating the hotel when you're on the ground. Our room was on the 1st floor overlooking the "side" canal. It slept 4 even though it was just the 2 of us. It was very clean tidy with linoleum flooring and cost 184 Euro in late Oct '06, breakfast included. Breakfast was fine:lots of cakes, pastries and breads/spreads, as well as cereal, tinned fruit, juice, tea & coffee. We didn't find the canal fronted room noisy. Noise from outside was just "different" to car/street traffic noise - but not noisier. We didn't hear any noise in the hotel itself, yet when we had breakfast, we were surprised to see how many people were staying there. There was a mix of people from around the world, including fellow Aussies, Americans and various European countries also represented. We would certainly recommend this hotel as reasonably priced (for Venice), good, clean, "honest" accommodation that is well located. There are also plenty of cafes etc around this area with varying prices. If you want a hotel that is close to the cruise terminal, this hotel would be very suitable.

7.9

Stairs very steep. For some visitors need help with baggage

7.4

Ein wirklich kleines verträumtes Hotel. Das Frühstück ist okay. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich die wirklich hervorragende Lage des Hotels. Es liegt am Hauptknotenpunkt zu Venedig, alle Verbindungen wie Wasserbus, Bus, Wassertaxi und Bahn sind optimal zu erreichen, ohne lange mit dem Gepäck durch Venedig reisen zu müssen. Trotz dieser guten Anbindung ist es sehr leise. Bei unserem nächsten Besuch in Venedig würden wir es sehr gerne wieder buchen.

6.9

Very convenient to Piazzale Roma for getting to/from Venice from airports.

9.6

Lovely Venetian painted furniture in rooms. Corner room with two windows opening on to canal -romantic first impression of Venice. Very easy to walk to from Piazzale Roma. Only quirk - our companion chose not to pay extra for her single room with a canal view but got a corner room like ours anyway.

7.6

We are a family with two adult children. We booked a room for 4 and were looking for a hotel near to the carparking. The hotel offered everything we were looking for. Our room was on the second floor with a view on Canal Grande. The room was rather small for the 4 of us, but big enough. Only the bathroom was very small. Overall a good choice for our stay for 3 nights.

8.1

This was the third hotel we have stayed in while visiting Venice. It's in great location for those using the train. And just a few minutes walk from the drop off point for all those visiting Venice. You are a a far distance from the main tourist attractions but that also means less crowds. The quality of the breakfast provided was medicore. The staff was not overly friendly although they were not rude either just sort of indifferent. Our real complaint about the hotel is there's no elvator and absolutly no help from the staff on getting your luggage upstairs. Not a bad hotel just better ones near by.

8.9

We were a party of 7 mix of adults and children. The hotel is very well located for sights, resturants & transport.Staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast selection was outstanding. We would certainly use this hotel again.

8.1

Great Hotel

10

THIS HOTEL WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. SPACIOUS AND CLEAN ROOMS, TREMENDOUS VIEW ON CORNER OF GRAND CANAL AND SMALLER CANAL. WONDERFULL BREAKFAST. COURTEOUS AND ENGLISH SPEAKING RECEPTIONIST. UNFORTUNATELY WE ONLY SPENT ONE NIGHT IN VENICE. WOULD DEFINITELY RETURN FOR A LONGER STAY AT THIS HOTEL

7.9

What a wonderful stay in an authentic venician hotel right on the grand canal and only 5 mins from the railway station. We just opened the shutters and overlooked the canal - beware this can be a bit noisy!!. Breakfast is basic as all of Italy is but an added bonus eating in the garden which is rare in Venice. Close to all facilities. Canal buses (vaperetos) just across the way and only 12 euros for 24 hours ticket. Beware cost of a gondalier!!. We would not hesitate to go back to this hotel as so central and water bus only 10 minutes from St.Marks square. If catching trains in Italy - very cheap - from Florence to Venice was approx 12 euros each single. Oh by the way we went in August and no smells!!

8.3

I especially enjoyed the view of the river from the room that I was staying. It was a bit noisy in the evening because there were people walking along the river. The location was excellent.

10

We were thrilled - great location, charming decor, substantial breakfast in a lovely courtyard, comfortable beds, air conditioning. Canal & Walter is an excellent choice.

7.8

The location of this hotel was good - close to the railway station. Just be aware of taking too many heavy suitcases, because you have to cross a bridge with MANY steps in order to get from the station to the hotel. The lady with the dark hair at the reception was very friendly ! The blond one not that friendly! Good breakfast ! Thank you - we enjoyed our stay.

8.7

We found this hotel to be an excellent choice coming by car to Venice - a short walk from Piazzale Roma. The reception staff were excellent and recommended restaurants locally, and booked tickets with great efficiency. The breakfast was adequate, and the rooms comfortable. Having requested a canal view, we were pleased that both rooms had good views, and our children were delighted with their Grand Canal view (although it was slightly noisier). One small point - do not be tempted to use the restaurant directly outside (not belonging to the hotel) which we found had poor food and service - much nicer places can be found in the back streets.

We thought the hotel was an excellent value -- clean, friendly staff and good service. The location is very convenient to the train station. We would definitely stay there again...

The breakfast at the hotel was very good. We went to a restaurant not far from the hotel that was reasonably priced and very good. I liked the location of the hotel, especially when it came time to leave because we didn't have to take (and pay for) a water taxi to the train station. We were able to walk. It was easy to get around all of Venice from the hotel. It wasn't a long walk to St. Mark's square or anywhere else.

The hotel was as expected, not the best we have stayed at in the world but a good one being in Venice. The location was good, you did not have to carry your luggage a long way from the bus station. The rooms where very clean and all services and prices were according to promises. We can warmly recommend the hotel!
