Hotel berhampiran St. George's Anglican Church, Venice

an excellent hotel with excellent service. We had 5 rooms reserved at the hotel. We left the hotel to go to Ravenna via the trains. We left our Apple air pods in of one the rooms. The gentleman from the front desk (morning shift - sorry I don’t remember his name) on his own walked over the train station, tracked us down and surprised us to give us the air pods. I travel a lot and have never seen such exceptional service. Literally, because of his level of exceptional service from when we checked in to now, we decided to change our hotels (when we return from the cruise) to stay again at The Carlton because of his above and beyond attitude. Thank you for your hospitality and outstanding experience from the point of when we first checked in.

Hotel Principe is located strategically near the train station and grand canal. We spent 2 nights here recently and were upgraded to grand canal view room, thanks a lot! The room was clean, bed is comfortable and view is amazing. Room is also quiet once window is closed, even though facing the grand canal. Bathroom is big and clean, however there’s no sinkhole in the bathroom which ia very weird, and create problem when water splashed out when we are showering (which definitely will happen) so this need to be fixed. Breakfast selections and quality were alright, we like the freshly made pancake machine. Overall, this hotel is recommended if you’re planning to stay in Venice.

We stayed in a beautiful, charming and old Italian style hotel, very authentic. The friendly and nice staff complete the whole package. The hotel is located right next to the water bus terminal with a wonderful view of Venice. The waterbus brings you to venice in 10-15 min. The room was clean, spacious and fully equipped. The breakfast is very varied and offers everything for every taste. Also the restaurant and the ice cream shop are highly recommended. The beach can be reached in a maximum of 10 minutes on foot, or the bus stops right in front of the hotel and takes you to every point on the lido. We'll definitely be back.

Great place to stay , clean rooms and professional staff . Close to the shops and restaurants. Ferry is located right outside the hotel and option for private water taxi is available . Only critique would be the staff should help the tourist with a fair price for water taxi , since getting to the hotel was 70 euros and coming back we were quoted 90 but charged 110 . Same amount of people/luggage/ pick up and drop off location.

The hotel is really quirky with an artistic tiled and colourful exterior and a movie theme (linked to the Venice film festival which is held on the Lido nearby). The staff are really friendly and authentic but not super efficient. We actually find this relaxing, part of the charm preferring this over highly attentive staff. There are two restaurants. The rooftop restaurant has great views of Piazza San Marco just a few miles in the distance. We didn’t eat there preferring the more traditional Italian food in the ground floor restaurant which was very good. The local wine recommendation was also very good. Breakfast was served in a light, airy and colourful breakfast room. I particularly appreciated the freshly squeezed orange juice which for some unfathomable reason is not offered in some more expensive hotels! For me this is a sign of quality. A fantastic selection of fresh fruits and pastries were provided, as well as cooked items - I had the scrambled eggs and bacon (more like pancetta). We really enjoyed the breakfast options but there’s no full English options if that’s your thing. We booked a Spa package which was excellent value. The therapists were very friendly and professional. The 100 minute massage was a highlight for me. My wife very much enjoyed the facial, particularly that the therapist didn’t just disappear when the mask was applied but continued to massage the body. My wife is not a stranger to regular facial and noted that the products were high quality but that there was just as much attention to massaging the whole body rather than just facial massage. Just a point of difference to be aware of if you’re used to more traditional facials. I considered when booking that a 2 hour slot for the Spa facilities may be restrictive but unlike some spas which have outside views this spa was in the basement, very nice, but 2 hours was sufficient. The Spa itself has steam rooms, saunas, a relax room and showers. The Spa is better than many hotel spas I have been in and probably the best iI have experienced in this price range. Highlights for me was the large Jacuzzi which was more like a hydrotherapy massage pool, and a good size sauna with a three stage cold mist shower. Very welcome after the sauna. The Lido itself is quite laid back with amazing beaches. When we visit Venice again we may well stay on the Lido and purchase a weekly ACTV water bus pass. What we now realise is that this would be a great way to see and visit the whole of Venice. In summary, at the price point, the Spa package and hotel exceeded expectations. We’d definitely go back.

The hotel is perfectly placed if you want the beach as it is opposite a fabulous public/free beach but with the option to purchase umbrellas, food, drinks etc if you want. You have a view of the beach/sea at breakfast. Also the roof terrace has sea views one way and sunset views the other which is fab! Claudio who serves at the roof terrace is an absolute joy. Reception is 24hours and staff were friendly and helpful. It's a 20 minute walk to the waterbus stop which takes you to Venice, Murano etc but the walk to the stop is alongside the sea or the Venice lagoon so is pretty special. We bought a weekly ticket for the waterbus to Venice etc at 65€ each which we thought worked out to be good value. There is a fabulous pool area nearby and 'pay for' beach which is pricey but we thought pretty good value at 12€ each for a sunbed without an umbrella at the pool or 48€ for two with padded sunbed, umbrella and table. There's a nice snack bar so you can stay all day. If you want the 'best of both worlds' Lido is ideal. We loved the calm after a busy morning exploring and sightseeing and an afternoon on the beach or by the pool was perfect for us. At first I was disappointed there were shutters at the windows and no view but it got very hot so I was glad of the air con and shutters on returning from sightseeing. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. If you want sea views pay the extra. Breakfast was a help yourself buffet with lots of choice. Overall we were very happy with our stay. Tips: sit on a bench and watch the sun set over Venice/Venice lagoon. Visit Claudio on the roof terrace and enjoy a drink (and snacks) with a view.

If you only need a night to sleep in Venice centre i can recommend ANDA HOSTEL just for 1€ more you get a well equipped kitchen and hygienic rooms. I had booked this hostel by mistake i am more than glad to return back to ANDA Hostel again for the 3rd time. For its location i would still rate it two stars. The front desk staff Mark was being very kind to help me get into my room as soon a bed is available (as I was stranded from an 11hr journey and there was a delayed connecting routes in between) I explained to him that I really need my bed to sleep and eventually as soon a bed is available Mark assigned the room to me at 1pm. If you have a little more to spare book and only need 2 nights I'd suggest get a hotel into Venice canal they provide room woth breakfast (less than 50€)

Very good overall, road surface a little noisy but that’s not the hotels fault. I would have liked more coffee sachets in the room but other than that we were happy and it’s very convenient for the train station for trips into central Venice.

Very neat and friendly environment. Amazing staff ready for guest's enquiries. My earlier perception of how the hostel would look completely vanished. Very comfortable beds. Good discipline among the guests. However, renting Towels at €5 seemed ridiculous to me. And also, Duvet covers should be provided instead of the additional bed sheet given. Nevertheless, I enjoyed staying and hope to return when visiting Italy again.

This hotel could easily get five stars from us. Good location. There is a bus line, line 6, which is located close to the hotel and which runs every 20 minutes,which takes you from the hotel and brings you back for 20min. The price of the stay is significantly lower from the hotel prices in Venice. The hotel is also designed in a modern design and is new - as opposed to the Venetian style,for those of you that it matters. The rooms are spacious and pleasant overall, the soundproofing is excellent. The hotel is quiet. The breakfast is good and the breakfast staff provide excellent service, truly exceptional service. Especially Nicoletta, a constant smile, service given with joy, out of care - Nicoletta gets six stars. The service of the reception staff is also excellent, and in general the service of the staff is good. The cleanliness is good. Overall a good hotel. But what? If you need an extra pillow or blanket - none available. The children were given a double blanket and when we asked for another blanket they said it was not possible because there are currently no maids (we arrived around 10pm). The same goes for additional pillows that we asked for and did not receive throughout our stay (4 nights). The hotel has rooms that are connected by a door - so it is very suitable and convenient for families. We asked for one room with a double bed and one room with separate beds, when we arrived at night, we got two rooms with a double bed arrangement. There are no double beds in the hotel (at least we didn't get one) single beds are connected with a sheet, who cares. Likewise, the doors of the connected rooms - not only could they not be locked to allow parents privacy, they also could not be closed. They left them for us with the closing tab open - so it was impossible to close the doors. In addition, the bathroom in the master bedroom is really dangerous, there is no support for getting out of it - and getting out of it is challenging. Specifically in this bathroom - the emergency line does not work... if you have difficulty walking and moving - ask for a room with a shower, not a bathtub. I think a hotel needs very little effort - to become an excellent hotel. Greater attention to detail and a greater supply of blankets and pillows.
