Hotel Abbazia  

The location was excellent very near to the Railway station and water buses. Plenty of places to eat. Lots of shops.

No lift our room was on the 2nd floor it was very hot and most uncomfortable, also bed was very hard difficult sleeping, could not open windows because of mosquitoes.

Atmosphere, gardens, chapel, layout

You can tell it used to be a monastery - lots of dark wood, style, large corridors etc. Good selection of items for continental breakfast. Very easy to find from the train station, and 30 second walk to Grand Canal and a vaporetto (water bus) stop, and pretty close to the bus station too. Shopping and restaurants nearby. Friendly staff.

Room had a bath only - no shower - although it did have a handheld shower attachment, and amazing water pressure. A little bit dowdy in places, and a couple of minor repairs to plaster would have made it perfect. Very loud church bells at 7:50 each morning - should be up and about by then anyway I guess.

Ideally located near the train station, but nice and quiet. You won't have to bump yours bags all over Venice if you stay here. As for its proximity to church bells, we quite like the sound, and in Italy you'll hear them all the time and everywhere you go. Breakfast was good and there's a lovely garden area to relax in too.

Location and staff excellent, lovely hotel.

Excellent staff on the reception and in breakfast room, great location just next turn from train station but without any noise of it and 15-minute walk from San-Marco and 1-step from vaparetto station so everything is very close, beautiful garden and good breakfast, very clean for italian hotels

little remark - the room is very small, in our case when we stayed only one night it was not a disadvantage, but I'm not sure that I'd like to stay in such room for a week. In any case small space is organised very reasonably and compensated by large bathroom.

Great staff & location

Friendly staff, free internet, spoke english, charming room, closs to train station, clean well maintained room and faciliity, free breakface. Liked the garden. Staff went out of their way to mke us feel welcome, especialy the guy that took the bags up to the room!!!!!

Need to have the history of the building available. Need to have an American breakface

Just only location!

In the room is very poor sound insulation, heard in the upper room merges water, as the doors close, like someone walking down the hall on the breakfast pastries made ​​yesterday No elevator, had to bear a heavy suitcase on the 2nd and 3rd floors

It is very well located quite close to the Saint Lucia train station and to the Grand Canal. The personal in the front desk was attentive. All of them speak several languages, so communication is not an issue.

Location was second to none - right next to the main rail station and 10 minutes from the airport buses and yet a very quiet and relaxing location. All in all a lovely little hotel with a stunning lounge/bar area.

We unfortunately were next to the kitchen so did not enjoy the constant smell of food and sadly the people above us seemed to be dancing about in clogs and pacing their room constantly but it was only for one night and Im sure we could have been moved, had we been bothered to ask.

My wife and I are carefull travellers as we have to stretch our Rand to the fullest extend. Hotel Abbazia is sure value for money, clean, oozes character, frienly staff and location location. The breakfast is the best I have experienced yet. My next trip to Venice will most certainly be Hotel Abbazia, perhaps just for a visit to the hotel again.

i love this hotel! whenever i visit to venice, i stay at this hotel(since 2003 when i found this hotel by chance).location, price, and especially very kind staffs are the most atractive points of hotel abbazia!!! next time? surely i choose!
