Canal Hotel Venice

The hotel was very old and the facility was too worse than the 3-star average. During my trip to Italy, I stayed 3-star hotels in Rome, Florence, Venice (i had to move to another hotel), and Milan. This hotel wan't cheaper than others at all, but the facility was horrible. The regridgerator was out of order, the closet was not opening, and the room was very dark. Wouldn't recommend it. If you want to find a great location nearby station, try out hotels on the street left from the station.

Tiny rooms with too much furniture. Mold in shower stalls - floor and corners. Shower stalls were too small for me to take a shower in and I'm 5'10 and 160lbs!

The picture looks better than the hotel, so much so that we walked by it twice before we found it. We then had to lug our luggage up two flights of narrow stairs to our room. Breakfast was fairly good.

Hotel staff is pleasant and accomidating. No problems with check-in or with any services required at hotel. Decor and age of furnishing are only deterrent. Gold wallpaper and furniture probably from 1970's maybe 60's. Bathroom clean with some slight updates of faucets/ showhead but otherwise old.

My family of 4 stayed one night post cruise. The hotel is situated near the train station and "people mover" so finding it and getting to it was easy. Only 2 bridges to manage out luggage over. The room was a good size as was the washroom. We arrived early in the morning from the cruise and the staff provided a secure room for us to store our luggage so we could explore Venice. Breakfast was provided but since we had an early flight , breakfast in a bag was provided which consisted of a bottle of juice, a croissant and some cookies. Enough to get us going at the early hour. Note we had to carry our luggage up 2 flights of stairs as there is no elevator. A nice hotel in a convenient location and we would stay there again.

This was our first visit to Venice and the location and proximity to the train station, Grand Canal and walking destinations was perfect. We happened to arrive to a heatwave and the room was icy cool with great air conditioning already turned on waiting for us - a great relief! The room was quiet and peaceful for a great night's rest.

I wish the rooms were more inviting in appearance, but the beds were comfortable enough. We slept well because it was surprisingly quiet. It's right on the corner of the Grand Canal and a side canal, but was still pretty peaceful for sleeping late. We had 2 adults and 2 kids. There was even a hidden bed for one more in this room. This is rare in Europe. The breakfast was canned fruit, cereal and mediocre breads. Nothing felt like it had a homemade touch. They give plenty of towels, soaps (in packets)and "Buon Giorno" everyday. It says it has a bar, but no decent place to sit. AND NO INTERNET service. There was some ancient looking computer in the lobby, but it hadn't a prayer of working. In this day and age, that's a gaping hole in service for any grade hotel. However, that may be a Venice issue as I met some store owners who complained about their internet service as well. If so Venice should correct it. Overall I really hope that there exists a better value for $150/night in Venice.

Small room, but clean and comfortable. Great location because directly across from train station, so you don't have to hull your luggage around on the very crowded water buses. The service was great and breakfast was good.

This is a quaint little hotel... once you find it! If you arrive by plane, take the bus not the vaperetto, then tale two small bridges... and wa la.. Google map it! We were lost adn wanderign for 2hrs, even the police were useless in giving directions. Internet is only avaible in the lobby. Breakfast was a buffet stil, with Americano coffee(btw McD serves americano coffee)

My husband and I were visiting Venice for only a day and we would be lugging around our suitcases, too, so the close proximity to the Santa Lucia train station worked out in our favor. We would have preferred to be more central to where the shops were, but it would have been a complete pain to drag our luggage over several mini-bridges (Venice is full of them) and those mini-bridges are all stairs. We just left our luggage at the hotel, which was literally across the canal, and we walked to the tourist sites, which took maybe 15 minutes (if you didn't get lost in all the mini alleys). The hotel was clean, definitely not new, but served it purpose. It had no elevator so you had to bring your luggage up the stairs, but not a big deal for anyone not minding the climb. Our room was huge, with three beds, and the bathroom was stocked with a ton of fresh towels. It looked out over the water with two big windows that also brought in lots of sunlight. I'd def stay here again because it was a great value for Venice, which is really expensive!
