Hotel Abbazia

the location was excellent, easy to get to from airport or railway station; well it is basically nex to the railway station. you can easily cross a bridge and get to venice's streets, or get on the water shuttle to anywhere, (this is important because there are different lines and only this place has access to all lines), just 25 m from the hotel. very nice garden if you travel in spring or summer. the hotel does not get affected by acqua alta 131 cm, this is very important if it happens on your arrival or departure. hotel staff is very helpfull and they are on all the time.

the hotel is an ex-monastry located within a church. this means you'll wake up with bell ringings around 6 am, this was fine for me since i wanted to go around venice early in the morning but it is worth mentioning since there might be late sleepers choosing this hotel. the breakfast buffet was poor, not much to select from. hotel was overall clean however we saw hair in our shower which shows that the cleaning is not deep through.

Everything, including the rooms, breakfast, dinning halls, yard and location.

Hotel staff were excellent, very friendly & went out of their way to help with suggestions of where to go to eat, what to see & the best way to get there. Hotel is very close to train station so was easy to walk there when we arrived which was great as we arrived at night & it was raining this was thanks to directions given on Trip Advisor by another traveller.

We loved our stay at Hotel Abbazia! It is in an old church, it still has the pulpit on the wall in the lounge area, also a beautiful garden that you can have breakfast in or just relax. The staff was excellent, arranged for a complimentary water taxi over to Murano to tour a glass factory and gave some excellent recommendations for dinner. It is very close to the train station and while most travelers try to stay close to St. Marks Square, you quickly realize what a smart decision it is to stay there. No dragging your luggage up and over bridges, no trying to figure out how to get around those narrow streets to find your hotel, no expensive water taxi. Good breakfast, great staff, clean rooms.

This was the most expensive place we stayed (Rome, Florence also), but then again, everything was more expensive in Venice. I would recommend adding some hot items to the breakfast, lunch meat and rolls only taste good for breakfast a couple of times!

The location is perfect, next door to train station, and vaporetto stop. The breakfast was good,a lthough same every day and no cooked food (eggs, etc).

We booked a Supererior Room for Three. My feeling was we got a Standard Double with an Extra Bed, although the hotel staff was insisting we got the right one. The bathroom was nice and spacious. However the room itself was rather shabby with dirty walls and old furniture and without any amenities, like water heater or anything. Definitely NOT a superior room,especially for this price.

Very convenient to the nearest boat stop, buses and trains. Staff very helpful.Nice breakfast room and nice to have a lounge for late night drinks. Outside garden room was also pleasant.Front of reception desk staff could not do enough for us. Would certainly stay here again.

The Croissants for breakfast were not terribly tasty. Quite sweet.

Run down not in good condition. Rooms not like internet picture shows. Too expensive for what you get.

No elevator

The staff were more than helpful, the location was perfect (near the train station but secluded), the breakfast was fabulous and the hotel itself interesting and unique. A wonderful refuge after a day of exploring Venice - loved it!

They have a lovely garden, but there were mosquitoes so we had to leave.

Staff was excellent and location. Breakfast was better than most.

Pictures of rooms very deceiving. Pillows were hard and blankets had a smell. If leaving hotel in early morning, alternatives are very limited and costly.

This was our second visit to Venice in just two months time. We are shure to return to Venice and Hotel Abbazia in the near future. The hotel is special in many ways and we like it very much.

Good location, easy to get to from parking - even though this was venice!

Very close to the train and bus station but still walking distance to the sights. Very friendly, welcoming staff, lovely garden, big rooms, bar prices very reasonable, our perfect Venice hotel.
