Room was ok in size, quite good for couples. Area is excellent as it's only 2 min walk to train n bus station n only steps away from the river. Breakfast varity not too much but quantity was plentiful. For ppl who like to walk around it's easy to walk to Rialto Bridge or even to San Marco! The only downside is it didn't have elevator, n the staircase is very narrow, so ppl with heavy luggage beware! I would recommend the BnB to my friends, n would stay here again

Very convenient to the train station, however a far distance from Rialto and St. Mark's. This property felt very old and tired. Our room was concerned an 'upgrade' and was incredibly small. A heavier person would not have fit on the toilet! We had a problem with mosquitos in our room. I ended up with several bites. Breakfast was appreciated and adequate. We were permitted free internet for 30 min.

Venice is quite expensive. A room in a hotel is hard to gain lower than €80,- With this hotel we received what we had booked and it was OK for this price. Best thing is the short distance to rail station. When we arrived at midnight because of delay it was easy to find and to reach with our heavy baggage. I think most people forget at booking that at midnight all ticket offices, turist informations and public transports are closed. Than you welcome a close hotel! I was also pleased about short distance to public transports at canal de grande and equal to cheap restaurants. At this destrict "Cannaregio" you can find bars and "osterias" were lot of natives are. Price is much lower than at hot turist destricts i.e. "San Marco".

Staff are competent and friendly, whilst the hotel is modest with no frills. Breakfast was simple and lacking variety, and a slight disappointment. The room was clean but two single beds were pushed together to constitute a 'double room'.

The hotel is located excellently just 1 street beside the Train Station and allows us to put our bags in our rooms before sight-seeing. The breakfast is wonderful, love the coffee yoghurt and banana yoghurt. The coffee is freshly made and delicious. The room is pretty standard but clean. As the rooms are pretty close each other, we can hear the sounds of other guests opening and clsoing the doors and talking loudly. However, it is a small issue as we got the room at a very good rate (59euro in Mar)

The Florida is very well situated, beside the train station and steps away from the vaporeto station. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, with perfect english. They kept our stuff for few hours the day we checked out. the breakfast was included and good enough. If We go back to venice someday (I hope so) We´ll probably repeat in the Florida Hotel.

The hotel was very easy to find, close to the train station which is always good to be next to a landmark in Venice. The only negative I have is the church bells nearby going off in the evening and early morning. Staff were very nice, reception open 24 hours.

Very near to the Saint Lucia train station, just around the corner once you turn left after leaving the train station, which is a plus that you don't have to tackle any bridges if you are lugging your luggage. Room was clean and breakfast was adequete. I would say that it is value for your money.

Family of four, stayed 2 nights at price of 400 euro, but with a 5% discount for paying cash. Price comparable to other places we stayed in Italy. Unbelievably close to train station - we almost walked past the "street", no realising how close it was! Our room was spacious for us all and at the back of the hotel, so very quiet. Breakfast was only average and staff were OK but not outstanding. Enjoyed our stay and would be happy to stay there again.

Hotel in an excellent position for the railway station - 3 minutes walk and equally close to Grand Canal (and bridge). We didn't have an en-suite bathroom but did have exclusive use of a bathroom just down the corridor which worked fine. Very quiet street and very little noise from other rooms. Helpful staff.

Fine hotel and good value for money (Venice is expensive anyway!) EXCELLENT location, very central and VERY EASY access, one minute and NO STAIRS from the vaporetto public transport boat neither from the train station(we had a baby's chair). Rooms have private safe, as well as hotel. No climatisation but a lot of shadow. No baby's cot. A pity. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast? eerr? depends... I like good food and italian bread is just bad (sorry for my italian friends), but this is not the hotel's guilt. They have coffee yogurts for breakfast: surprising and good. Next door restaurant (different owner) good but no air, so if there's a terrace, go for it. Enjoy your future stay!

For 2-star hotel we had 2 conditioned rooms (for 3 of us) in good size, plus clean and quite big bathroom, lovely in decorations and very quiet. Very close to train station, which is convinient. The only thing- no elevators, so, be prepared, don't take too much luggage with you! I'd use it again!

Nice hotel, friendly staff, very close to train station and water bus station, close to shopping and restaurants, very nice breakfast bar (nicest we had in Europe), accustomed to larger bathrooms in USA but good for Europe. Be sure to request a private bath if you so desire when booking reservations as we did. Many European hotels have a combination of private and shared baths. A honeymoon couple at the hotel was quite upset to learn they had to share a bathroom; luckily, a room with a private bath became available and was given to them.

Great place to stay. It was in a really good location - right in the heart of Venice on the canals, which gave easy access to St Marks Square by water bus. Close to station and water buses and great shops and cafes within easy walk. Would highly recommend.

The location is fantastic, as it is located just a few steps from the train station. The first floor (reception) had a free Wireless Internet connection. Our room was located on the second floor, and we had to carry our luggage up there, since there was no elevator. The shower was unpleasant, due to an old pointy plastic mat on its floor.

Really liked the room, a lovely reasonable size room - very clean- with 2 double glazed doors to little balcony above a small lane with restaurants and other hotels which was very busy early morning and all day, so a bit noisy-am but quiet during the night, (a room at the back may be better if you want a quiet morning) Was easy to find- arrived quite late at night. In a great position for transport very near trains buses and waterbuses lots of reasonable restaurants-shops nearby. Suit singles, younger and older couples and families.

Hotel Florida was a good place for me to stay. After reading quite a few reviews, I wasn't expecting anything much space or luxury but was expecting that my room would be clean and central to transport with decent service. This was pretty much what I got. Hotel Florida is kind've like staying with a distant Aunty of Uncle. The rooms are smallish (well, I had a single room, so probably one of the smallest), old and spartan but clean. The service at reception was good. Some staff were more helpful than others but certainly helped me with my queries and even assisted me in charging my Italian phone service. My room was on a busy lane but if you're prepared you'll travel everywhere with an eye mask and ear plugs. Noise wasn't too bad but I imagine that during more festive times, it would be nuts. Also, rooms had wooden shutters so that was good for keeping the light out in the early morning. Hotel Florida is extremely close to Santa Lucia train station and the 2 main vaporetto lines - this was great. Also, if you follow the main drag (just up the lane) around, you can walk the whole way to Piazza San Marco. Breakfact was fine - nothing fancy. So if travel regularly on a low-ish budget and are looking for a clean room that's central to transport (a decent place to sleep, basically) then Hotel Florida will be fine for you. If you are looking for 5 star treatment - you shouldn't stay here. I enjoyed my time at Hotel Florida and got to see lots of Venezia

We stayed at Florida hotel in Venice for 3 nights in April 2008. The hotel is located very close (right around the corner) to train station which was very convenient. We had twin room with bathroom and paid 402 EUR for 3 nights. Room and bathroom were clean and quite. I would recommend this hotel.

Very convenient for rail travellers, as hotel is very close to station and one can easily walk there with luggage. Hotel staff very helpful. By Venice standards, the price of the room, although high for the facilities offered, was reasonable. No need for an alarm clock, as the peel of bells from the neighbouring church (at 7.30 a.m. and 8.15 a.m.) means one need never miss breakfast!

We were very pleased with the hotel. We stayed for 4 nights and everyone we met was very pleasant and always willing to answer questions, etc. Since our train was leaving later in the day, the desk person was very gracious in allowing us to leave our luggage while we were out in the city during our last day. I would recommend the hotel to all.

Venice is expensive. Once you've accepted that fact this hotel is a good deal. We liked the location - close to the train station so we didn't need to drag our suitcases on and off boats. And central enough to take a break in midday. Close to a major water-bus station along the Grand Canal for easy trips throughout the city. Clean, quiet, air conditioned (though the nights were cool anyway in Late Aug). Good choice. The worst part would be the sound of the airconditioners outside the windows. But, then, thats pretty hard to get away from anywhere in town. But at least there's no traffic noise. Breakfast was simple and adequate. Staff friendly. Rooms clean and well maintained.

The only good thing about Florida was that it was very close to the train station and it was clean. The man and woman standing at the front desk didn't even bother to look up or greet us when we said hello to them (in English and Italian) and handed them the room key. They just look at you when you walk in the hotel and not smile or say a word. They treated us like we were bothering them. The rooms are simple. The bathrooms are tiny. There was a loud hum from some machine in the back of the hotel outside our window but fortunately it turned off during the night. We were glad we only stayed one night.

I chose this hotel for its close proximity to the train station in Venice (it's literally one block away), the price, and the fact that they offered both Internet access and air conditioning (it was August). Short of the room needing a fresh coat of paint and a good carpet cleaning, and it was quirky that the toilet and shower were in the same space, the staff were very nice, the breakfast was good, and the location was fantastic with great access to the water buses and train, as well as a lovely shopping street with lots of restaurants. I spent 3 nights there as a single woman, and always felt safe in the area. I would certainly stay here again in the future.

Cet hotel situé proche de la gare ferroviaire et de piazzale roma est vraiment très facilement accessible. Il n'est pas immense et les chambres ne sont pas d'un grand luxe certes, mais TRES propre et climatisé. Seul petit bémol, l'eglise d'a cote qui n'arretait pas de sonner (mais c'est partout pareil a venise et pas seulement à l'hotel florida). Si nous devions repartir a venise, on retournerai a cet hotel

The big advantage of this hotel is its proximity to the railway station (it's literally two minutes' walk away). Apart from that, the hotel has little to recommend it: we found the service cool, the room dark and dingy, and the breakfast inedible.

This hotel is by far the most basic I have stayed in on my many trips to Venice. Decor is poor and pretty shabby, upstairs it feels like a hospital. The triple bedroom was large and very quiet, the beds were clean and comfortable. The en suite bathroom was tiny with a great shower. Breakfast was very unexciting, bread rolls, pre packed cheese slices (still in wrappers), no orange juice just orange cordial. Staff did speak English but did not really communicate with guests, except when paying the bill!! Close to Ferrovia water taxi and main railway station, so if you don't want to have to carry suitcases too far, the location is convenient. Would not stay again - would recommend the hassle of pulling suitcases through Venice (with children in tow), is worth it as there are much nicer places to stay in Venice.

We had a quadruple en suite with a queen and two single beds that were very comfortable. Large bathroom but sort of small shower - clean with great pressure and plenty of hot water. Air conditioner worked great. Very quiet room (#15). Hotel is extremely convenient to train station but arriving by bus you have to walk a long way over three bridges or immediately figure out water buses (only one stop if you go the correct direction). Very good location for water transportation around Venice and surrounding islands. Most hotel employees very pleasant, helpful, and spoke English well. I understand it is reasonable priced for Venice, but as Americans, it seemed expensive. However, it was perfect for our needs and I would not hesitate to stay there again.

A very nice hotel, a little hidden down an alley, but that's the way Venice is. A usual nice European breakfast, street room was a little noisy with the window open but the inside room was very quiet but looked out over roofs of neighboring buildings. You could hear the church bells on the street side and they were beautiful. Had two rooms, one for my husband and myself with a double bed and it was very clean, great bathroom and shower. Three children in their 20's had an inside room, very large, 3 single beds, large bathroom, shower no pressure. Hotel was about one block from the train station, which made it great for travel and a 10 minute walk to the bus terminal to the airport. Next to the boat terminal on the canal and a main bridge. Close to shops, restaurants and pubs. Very clean nice hotel but was on the opposite side of the main island, quite a walk to St. Mark's. I would highly recommend, used by many passengers for the cruise ships.

We have stayed here all three times we have visited Venice. The main reason we favor the Florida is it's location - within 100 meters of the train station. The staff is helpful and the rooms are clean if a bit cramped. The food offered at ristorantes along the Strada Nuova can be hit or miss but most are excellent if a bit steep in price compared to other areas of Italy. However, the ambiance more than makes up for the higher prices for room and meals.

breakfast was slightly better than nominal. Coffee, tea, yogurt, sticky croissants, melba toast in a cramped, dim space. Location was superb - easy access to train station, water metro, restaurants, shops and sites. Quadruple room was a double bed and two rollaways - adequate. Didn't see any air cond, no fans, so be prepared if coming in warmer month than May! Windows need screens as mosquitos are plentiful.

This accomodation was over priced, but it is Venice. It was a basic room, with two single beds pushed together for a double. The saving grace was the fact that this had an en-suite bathroom and the accomodation is as close to the train station as it says it is. At night, the area is very quite. I would not necessarily stay here again as I thought it was overpriced for what it was.

The Hotel was easy to find, located next to the trainstation we didn't have to carry our luggage far. The stuff was very friendly and in the morning you always could ask for another coffee (excellent cappucino)! I've been to Venice before and the rooms in the Hotel Florida are as clean and as "big" as in Hotels which are more expensive. It was a real good time in Venice and hopefully next time they have another room for me.

We are 4 stayed in a quadruple room no.16 with bathroom / 164 euro per night 29-30 june 2006. Price is real high for room facilities: very small, no stand up shower, drain in bath tub is clogged all the time, toilet flush system is dated 1930, very old and fragile ... but at least everything is clean and very close to the train station Santa Maria Novella (5 minutes walk). At 140 Euro per night is more reasonnable and justified . Breakfast is O.K. no more, no less !

American family: self, wife, 2 college-aged girls: we required a quad with bath. The Florida, as expected is in a safe area, clean, and had been freshly painted. Claudia, and the staff were very accomodating. We knew it was located very near the train station, however, it was unknown to the girl in the information booth.... We asked someone else who pointed it out correctly. Our reservation was confirmed, through Venere 3 months prior to our arrival. With no further contact, we arrived on schedule and our room was waiting. Love that efficiency.

We enjoyed our stay at the Florida. This is our second visit (first in 2004). We would certainly go to the Florida when we visit Venice again. Clean room. Helpful staff. Light breakfast at resturant next door. Security safe in room. 5 minute walk to train station and vaporetta. Reasonably quiet.

We were pleased with our stay at The Florida and found the staff accommodating and pleasant. The breakfast was served at a restaurant next door and quite adequate for a continental type. The location is great for anyone arriving or leaving by train, and we found it quite convenient for cruiseship arrival as well (we took the free shuttle bus to the Roma bus plaza and then a vaporetta to the train station stop. From there it was just a short walk to the hotel.

If you prefer to be close to the train station for either late arrivals, early depatures, or avoiding watertaxi costs, this is the place for you. Easy to find, close to shops with plenty of friendly English speaking people, with local eateries open late. Bathrooms on hall are tiny, but rooms were spacious and clean. Desk help has limited English - but just walk to the corner and there are plenty of friendly people to help. Excellent Value for pricey Venice

The location of the Florida was very convenient for our family as we traveled to Venice by train and the station is right around the corner. The rooms were quite spacious, especially for Europe. We were close to a water taxi as well as restaurants. The breakfast was just adequate, and probably our least favorite in our 2 weeks of traveling around Italy.

We were located in the newly refurbished room, so it was nice and clean. Given the fact that the hotel is located close to the train station and vaporetto, it is good choice for satying for few days. However there is one negative comment we have to make that affected our overall rating. We booked triple room, however what we received was the double room with additional bed. The additional bed was awful compared to the other two.

We were very pleased with our stay at Florida. The staff was very pleasant, spoke English. The location was perfect. Hotel was clean, our room was not as nice as the rooms pictured though - very stripped down, but still clean and comfortable. Located right next to train station but was very quiet and safe neighborhood.

This is not a chic venue, but it is certainly charming - We will come back again! Very close to the train station... Be sure to look way down the little street for the Hotel Florida sign, we just about missed it. A good value and for a family with two, large teenage boys, we had plenty of room, which has been a rare find in Europe!

We had a really lovely stay at the Florida. The staff were all very friendly and were happy to assist us in English. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and the breakfast was declicious. The bell was extremely loud in the church next door though so it did mean we were up at 7.00 although that was not a problem for us. Overall, I would highly recommend the Florida as long as you don't want to sleep late.

Very easy to find and just a stretch from the train station, the welcoming was great and the woman at the desk spoke pretty much any language, from english to french to german! Very helpful, the room was quite small though, but we had an ensuite bedroom and the bathroom was great. And in the end we even had a 5% discount for paying cash, nice!

It was everything we want:economic,clean,with private bathroom and near the rail station,the vaporeto and bus station.Easy to find with or without a map. Even at night it is a lively district. An excellent breakfast for a 2 stars hotel. No lift, but only 2 floors,it was easy.

Location is perfect for me when i arrived by train which is only 100 meter away. Breakfast was poor but eatable. It's definitely not the best hotel during my stay in Italy. But consider the average price of hotels in Venice, this hotel is still fair and convenient.

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Florida. It is close to the Venice train station(30 seconds walk) but a bit far from San Marco, still within walking distance of about 30 minutes if you don't get lost or get distracted by other interests on the way. We had a room near the back so it was extremely quiet at night. Overall the room suited our need. The breakfast at the hotel is fairly simple and routine but you can get fresh coffee(cappacino or expresso) from the staff everyday.

i spent 4 nights there, its a good choice in term of price. just a step distance from station terminal and ferry stop. staff are nice and helpfull, breakfast is enough, the only criticise is you can sleep late because it locates just besides a church. Bell ring early at 7.00a.m., as a whole, i recommd it strongly to others.

Too many steps to reach the rooms. The stairwell is also very narrow. The room was excellent, but breakfast was ordinary. We had free internet use while we were guests. We would definitely stay here again even dragging bags up the stairs. They let us use their reception area to store bags on the day of booking out. The whole Venice experience was fantastic.

Easily locatable hotel with pleasant staff. Our room (24) was small with a shared wc and showerroom but they always seemed to be empty and very clean. Breakfast was satisfactory if a little underwhelming. Worth the amount paid considering the expense of most venetian hotels.

Very good hotel, with a very high quality/price ratio. Nice rooms, clean, well equipped (the presence of an air conditioner was particularly welcome). Just one remark: the bells of a church nearby might be a little annoying if you usually stay up quite late in the morning (say after 10am)

The hotel Florida is located 5 mimutes from Santa Lucia train station. It was very convinience and very easy to find (near the degli Scalzi bridge). The room was very small but for the price was okay. The room is not really to hang-out; is mostly to spend the night and make-up in the morning an explore Venice. Breaksfast is very small, so don't expect an american breaskfast. The staff is very friendly and helpfull. Venice is very easy to walk, isn't a large city at all. So in 3 days you can see almost everything. The Food is very good.

We were a university group of 15 students and faculty, and we were very pleased with the accommodations. The staff went well beyond the call of duty to answer questions and provide suggestions. The breakfast was unexciting, but, given the price of the rooms, certainly met expectations. We hope to stay there again in the future.

Overall the place was good. It had a decent breakfast (bread, tea, coffee, OJ, and croissants), the room was clean, and it had a working TV and good shower. My two complaints were the mattresses and the lack of elevator. As a said earlier the place was good overall.
