Personnel saved from high tide ) Thanks!!…

5 / 5

The hotel is the best for price/quality! Clean, in the center, with good breakfasts. Some additional nice details. We had a cruise and stayed at the hotel one night prior the cruise and one night after. So, it was nice to leave the extra luggage at the hotel, and when we returned back it was waiting for us in our room already. And the personnel is very friendly: in the morning we found out the high tide, and our trip through the center to reach the airport finally was threatened (with 3 luggage and 2 children)) - personnel immediately showed the way to vaporetto station and literally saved us from that flooding! So, we really recommend it for hospitality and comfort! …The hotel is the best for price/quality! Clean, in the center, with good breakfasts. Some additional nice details.

Such a great place! It's more like a hotel than a hostel, the place is huge and has super nice rooms. The common area is fun and the bar is well priced. Laundry was 3 euro to wash and 3 to dry and comes with detergent. Super close to the train/bus station so getting onto the island is a breeze. I only stayed here one night, but wish I would've stayed longer!…

Very nice hotel with modern rooms, affordable prices and proximity to Piazza San Marco. Don't forget to try the place with the same name just next to the hotel for a quick lunch or indulge in their mini sweets at incredible prices.…

Lovely hotel in Marcuola, an excellent neighbourhood from which to explore Venice. Service was super, including speedy and accurate communications by email before the trip. Seriously: the best level of English and helpfulness ever. The room was in a separate building, and it was large enough for 3 adults and a teenager. The view was gorgeous and the decor was pleasing. Breakfast was nice, and the shower was great. I saw some reviewers complaining about mould - mate, it’s Venice! Sometimes it smells. We had absolutely no smell trouble, as the fortnight before our trip was dry and sunny, but I am sure a few days’ rain and it would have been smelly. That’s how it is. You can get to the hotel from Piazzale Roma using the water bus number 1 or 2 (get out at S Marcuola, it’s 4 stops). Then it’s a 5 min walk up a couple of bridges. Be careful with a few logistics: when we checked in we were given a what’s app number to ring or message at any time as reception is 24hs. But the number was incorrect. You may want to check it when you arrive. There was a very noisy heater in the room (the central system). Like a fridge that is incredibly loud. They said it’s been recently fixed - but clearly needs fixing again. You may want to check it if you stay in Casanova. Apart from these tiny things, a perfect place. Price was quite good too!…Lovely hotel in Marcuola, an excellent neighbourhood from which to explore Venice. Service was super, including speedy and accurate communications by email before the trip.
