9 Nights - Rome, Florence And Venice Vacation W/Air

The hotel itself was faultless. The room was great, plenty of space for 3 of us and loads of storage for our luggage. The bathroom was a good size too and I loved the fact you could open the bathroom window to let in some much needed fresh air. It had a small balcony although the view wasn't great and it's right on a main road so it was quite noisy. However, it was a really warm room so it was nice to let in some air. The staff were friendly, helpful, and had great local knowledge. The breakfast was ample, fresh, and constantly being restocked. My only negative is that it is quite far from the city. While it's got great connections in and out by bus (and metro too but we didn't use that), I would have preferred somewhere a bit more central. However, I knew this when booking and gave it a chance because of other great reviews. But just bear in mind that it's a bit of a pain getting in and out of the city. The bus was fine and ran regularly but it was often packed with standing room only, which can be tiring after a long day's sight seeing! Other than that, this hotel was clean, tidy, and completely adequate for a long weekend.

Close to bus and 15 mins to city on bus. Buses can be very busy. Hotel restaurant for dinner was not good. We got 2 pasta dishes and the pasta was cold and hard. We sent back and got same 2nd time. The breakfast is good value. PleaSe note they give " complimentary breakfast" on check in and then charge you with city tax at end of stay. The restaurant and bar was not open weekend evenings. Room was ok, bed was comfy and was cleaned every day, we only used as a base. No tea coffee facilities. No fridge. Nowhere in hotel to get fresh coffee during day if you just want to relax.. Pennylane cafe amazing next door and amazing value. 👏

Hotel is in a good location if you don’t mind a walk. It’s a bit out of the way to central Rome, but is about half hour walk to “Alter of the Fatherland” which follows on to the Colosseum etc, and a 10 min taxi ride to Castel st’Angelo. There is an underground about 15 min which is quick and easy to get anywhere. Room was pretty basic, we didn’t mind as we didn’t intend to spend much time there at all so depends what you are looking for. The bed was comfy, they have a safe. Some rooms apparently have a fridge, we didn’t. Rooms are quiet you don’t hear the traffic noise unless you have window open. I had to ask for handwash and toilet tissue when we arrived as these were empty, but they do make the up room everyday, and we had everything we needed going forward. Wasn’t the cleanest of rooms in terms of decor. There were dirty marks over the walls and the curtains didn’t look great. Staff were friendly! Would I come back to this hotel? Probably not. But it was just somewhere to put our heads after a day of site seeing. Don’t be shocked there is city tax charged at this hotel! We paid €60 for 3 nights

The hotel is decent , the towels are being changed daily and they do the bed. That is pretty much all. Our toilet seat was broken , and was fixed our last days of stay , out of 7 days. Whilst we had shower , the bathroom was flooded so used 4 big towels to dry afterwads. Does require a general painting and cleaniness. Breakfast is reallh poorly and a dissapontment . They have scrambled eggs and bacon, three different kind of ham , 3- 4 different croissants , 2 different yoghurts , a few cereals and that's all. Also staff don't add food until people wipe the last few scraps , a few times we had to wait until they brought food again to refill. Also , the biggest dissapointment , after paying quite enough for a hotel that is so far from centre , we also had to pay €110 local tax for 2 people for 7 days , why would the hotel not informed of this before booking or even on the first day of our arrival ?!! A family at the check out were arguing with the staff as they have used all money etc. It was really sad. The buses take longer than estimated , and are not always on time , also 160 seems to run every half an hour , as far as noticed. However, I would say pay a bit more and stay closer to the city with better and more choices offered .

Great location for First Stop for AliLaguna from airport orange line, Madonna ORTO, share water bus, 30 minutes, then 7 minute walk to hotel, two bridges. And last stop before going to the airport. Nice big towels, Hot shower, good water pressure, super amenities, daily water bottles. Room was perfect size for one person, plenty of storage space, bathromm was large and bright. Loved the sky lights for ventilation. Breakfast was fabulous, many choices. Quiet location, 15 minutes walk to main tourist walkway. Room was VERY warm, no air-conditioning during my visit, 80 degrees early April, bring a small fan if needed. Would definitely stay here again.

Brilliant hotel, highly recommend. I stayed with my partner and my parents and we had a lovely time. To get to the hotel we used the Alilaguna ferry from the airport and got off at the first stop on the orange line at Madonna Dell’Orto which is only a few minutes walk to the hotel. On the way back we did decide to do a private transfer, the boat pulls up right outside the front of the hotel which was also great. The hotel itself is beautiful, we loved the traditional Venetian keys with tassels that were kept behind reception. Rooms were decent, they were clean. Bed and pillows not the most comfortable but I never expect that whilst travelling. Biggest complaint would be the lack of outlets, there is only two plug points, one on the desk opposite the bed and one by the door which means you cannot charge your devices in bed, not the end of the world but was rather annoying. Bathroom does have hairdryer, it works okay. Not the worst I’ve used in a hotel. The staff at the hotel were lovely, their English was very good. Always received a warm greeting when entering or leaving. The hotel bar is quite nice, we had a few drinks there when we were just waiting around. In terms of breakfast, although not included in our stay, we did opt to have it one morning and charged the €15 each to our room. There was a range of different things to choose from, different pastries, bread rolls, toast, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, bacon, sausages, yogurts, a fruit salad etc. They had a few different juices and a coffee machine. I will say I’m glad we only ate their once, every day might have been a bit boring. As the hotel is in Cannaregio it’s lovely and quiet area. Yes, it’s further out from the main tourist attractions but it’s only about a 30 minute walk to San Marco square which doesn’t feel that long as you are looking in shop windows and stopping to marvel at the stunning streets and canals you pass on the way. Definitely worth it in my opinion to enjoy the peace. Upon arrival, receptionist told us the hotel does a boat tour at 17:30 every evening which I believe was €40 pp. We decided to do it as we had nothing else planned, it takes you all round Venice so you get to see some nice building and have a glimpse of the rialto bridge which was nice. If you plan to travel to Murano and Burano the main port to catch the ferries is F.te Nove which is a 15/20 min walk from the hotel. You can buy tickets there on the machines or you can buy them in some shops, we got ours from a tobacco shop a few mins from the hotel. Hope this review helps, and if you do choose to stay, I hope you have a wonderful time like we did!
