Hotel Tivoli di Venezia

My friend and I stayed here for three days on our 10 day trip to Italy and this was our last stop. First we took the train from Florence which was easy. However, once we got off the train we were in trouble. It took us an hour to find this hotel. A lot of people didn’t know where it was or when someone knew where it was we still had difficulty finding it with al the canals, turns and steps. Woww, just remembering that ordeal was crazy. When we arrived the small but quaint hotel was clean and the staff were friendly enough.
We were very disappointed with our room that reminded of me a small closet. The two twin beds were very close to each other and there was very little room for our suitcases. The space was very tight, unsurprisingly the bathroom was just as small as the room. However, we were thankful for the basic necessities in our room. (running water, clean) and made the best of it since we would just be sleeping after hours of sightseeing. The beds were hard, uncomfortable and hurt my back. :-(They had a cute backyard sitting area that we never got to enjoy. The hotel was in a good location because there were a lot of restaurants and gelato stores nearby. My friend and I had gelato every night while we were in Venice.
The complimentary breakfast was mediocre. They provided continental muffins, coffee and cereal. The breakfast spread wasn’t as nice as the hotels in Florence and Rome but I made sure I ate every morning, LOL. There was a college close by our hotel which helped us remember how to return to our room after a day out on the town. If I return to Venice I would probably check out another place to stay.

Mir hat es hier ganz gut gefallen, aber hauptsächlich wegen der Lage. Und wegen dem kleinen, schattigen Hinterhof, der zum Hotel gehört. Da haben wir nachmittags oft rumgesessen, während sich der Mob durch Venedig schob.
Die Einrichtung ist ganz hübsch und das Personal größtenteils freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Das Frühstück kann man komplett vergessen, aber das fand ich nicht so schlimm. Ich fahre meistens im Juli nach Venedig, da ist es besonders voll und besonders heiß. Darum liebe ich es sehr, morgens ganz früh aufzustehen, wenn die Stadt noch leer und kühl ist, ein bisschen durch die Straßen zu laufen und in einer Bar zu frühstücken.
Ich komme bestimmt wieder.
