i stayed in this hotel only 1 night coz i'.ve been to venice just for work and it was good located (just 3 min to the train station) so if you'.re plannig to go to venice by train it would be a good choice

the hotel was really easy to find and only a few minutes walk from the piazzale roma. we flew into treviso airport and from there bought return tickets for the atvo bus to piazzale roma. once you arrive at piazzale roma you find its a large open air bus station and the only area with vehicles. to find the hotel head across the piazzale towards the small parks and a canal. when you reach the canal, to your left you will see it leads onto the grand canal. cross over the canal and follow the path round to where it joins the grand canal. you will be able to see the steps up to stazione ferrovie (railway station) on the opposite bank. as you round the corner in front of you, you will see a large white marble bridge which crosses the grand canal. cross the bridge and you find yourself on a bustling street right on the bank of the grand canal. turn right and follow the street where it will become narrow with buildings on both sides. this is typical for a venician street!. the hotel is on this street and your left, just look above the shop doors for their numbers. the staff at the hotel were very friendly and fluent in a number of languages. the room we had overlooked the street and was clean and comfortable. there was no problem with noise from the street at night. the breakfast options were simply continental, including cereal and you could also have scrambled eggs or omlette which were cooked practicaly in front of you! and all with coffee of course!. to explore venice from the hotel area, simply head back to the marble bridge and past it and on your left you will see the ticket booth for the vaporetto (water bus). the route map is similar in style to the london tube maps and easy to understand. its best to purchase at least a 48 hr pass as the vaporetto are the best way to get to all the sights with out becoming lost in the maze of streets for hours on end!. we stayed for 3 nights and came home thinking we should have stayed longer. enjoy!

you have to check in at another hotel 2 shops away as the reception area was closed. because its right above a shopping street and some cafes, it tends to be noisy at night. overall, the service is not too bad and the room are pretty spacious.

the staff was compitent, helpfull and fluent in english. i had emailed ahead for directions. we got the correct bus at the airport to the end of the line (as far as vehicles can go) but then we got on the vaparetto ((water bus) in the wrong direction. (since the instructions said to go only one stop to the train station, it was clear that we were not where elisa (desk clerk)had described in the email. we quickly discovered the error and caught the vaparetto in the oposite direction. the hotel location is so close to where the bus ends in venece that it is an easy walk.(10 min. and 3 bridges) without very clear directions though i wouldn´t try it if it is your first visit to the city. if you arrive by train, you walk out of the station, take a left and walk 3 min. the hotel had been completely renovated in the last few years and was impecably clean. the hotel entrance is locked and run from a hotel loby 2 doors down. that is not clear when you arrive. elisa suggested that we get a 3 day tourist pass for the vaparetto which was perfect. for 25 euros we each had unlimited access for the 3 days. it would be worthwhile to get the pass immediately upon arrival. the breakfast was fine. the breakfast room is small so a few people were always waiting for seats. the bedroom and bathroom are also small, but as i said earlier, exceedingly clean and all you need if you are spending most of the day seeing the city. the tv worked as well as the a/c. it is an area where a few stores stay open late so you can get a can of beer or bottle of wine and some snacks before bed if you like. i would highly recommend the hotel and would stay there on a next visit unless i wanted to be in another special area of the city. it was extremely convenient, easy access to the vaparetto, and a great value. also, if it is your first visit, the location is easy to get to on public transportation, 20 min. by bus from the airport plus a 10 min walk or 3 min walk if you take the (5 min)

we were a little taken aback that we had to go to the hotel zecchini in order to book in etc., however the only drawback to our stay here was no elevator (we had four suitcases to haul up three flights) and the room was miniscule with very little closet space as well. there was absolutely no where to place suitcases except to stack them up and step over them as the floor space was so limited.

totally remodeled. excellent, small hotel very convenient to train station and transportation. wonderful service,great breakfest,spotless room that was comfortable and new. would stay there again in a minute and would recommend. only downside, no elevator, just walk-up. great place.
