I love this hotel and will stay again. Staff is wonderful and very friendly. Was walked to the room by a staff member and she would not accept a tip. Said it was her pleasure. Don’t get upset that you do have to pay for parking. Your car is close and secure. There is very limited parking anywhere else. Rooms are very nice, much like a typical b&b. Best part is location. You are right next to the water taxi station and that is a huge plus.

I booked this place through Monastery Stays but should have booked directly through their website to save money. It used to be but is no longer a monastery. The staff speak impeccable English. This is a no-frills place. No TV in the room, but there is a common TV room. The elevator is slow, but hey, at least they have one and it works! There is a vaporetto stop right in front of the hotel which is so convenient for going to Ferrovia train station(just 1 stop away). For several other tourist destinations requiring other vaporetto lines, one just has to walk less than 10 minutes to the Piazzale le Roma and diagonal from there to the depot of all the other vaporetto line stops. There is free breakfast every morning which consists of all you can consume on the spot: bread, croissants, espresso, pastries, jam, tea, cereal, etc. It is hosted in a nice dining room with staff to bus the tables. If you are leaving luggage after checking out, they’ll offer some hallway space for you. It’s not superbly secure, but it’s a popular option. Also, it’s unusual that they ask you to leave the hotel key with the front desk whenever you go out, and they’ll return it when you come back– probably to prevent loss of it. I wouldn’t leave any valuables in the room(there is no in-room safe) just in case there is any mistake in re-issuing the key. I had no issues whatsoever with mosquitoes. Then again, I kept my window shut.

I would highly recommend this hotel in Venice Italy. It is clean and modern. It is minutes from the people mover(tram) that transports all to cruise ship port and easy access to water taxis. We arrived at the Piazzale Roma(bus terminal) by bus from the airport and walked with our luggage to the hotel. It took us about 10 minutes. Two days later we were going on a cruise and we walked to the people mover which is boarded near the bus terminal and rode to the area in which we enter the port area… If you google the addresses you will see how close everything is to this hotel!
