Best Western Hotel Ala  

This is the view of the three of us, a mature couple with a friend: Best Western Hotel Ala was very clean, the breakfast was excellent with a wide range of choices to make, the staff were attentive and helpful, there was a lift to the upper floors, the rooms were spacious and the bathroom we had was roomy and very clean. Internet as well as wifi was provided in a small room with an on-line computer and printer, all free. Of course, its proximity to a vaporetto stop, gondolier stand, and close walking distance to all the exciting and interesting features of Venice were most appealing; there are many good restaurants close by. It was one of the best European hotels we have stayed in at that price range, and we will certainly return, and recommend this hotel.

Very easy to find from the vaporetto line 1, (S. Maria del Giglio stop), and within a few minutes of St Mark's Square, la Fenice, the Accademia and the very smart shops. Lots of reasonable dining options nearby. Would stay again.

The Hotel location is really good, just few meters away from ligne 1 Vaporetto, the room design was really nice, it was clean and big. The bathroom was kind of big, we had also an amazing view on the Canal. The breakfast was delicious. I really enjoyed my stay at the Hotel and I would definitely recommend it.

The hotel was in an excellent position to walk to the main sightseeing destinations in Venice. The breakfast was much more like a five star hotel breakfast. The drinks in the bar and mini bar were very reasonable. As the weather was good the roof terrace although small was ideal to have a drink and rest after a busy day sightseeing.

Some tables and chairs in the square outside the hotel would be nice but I am not sure you are allowed to do that.

The location is perfect. There was a lovely selection of food at breakfast time all fresh and replenished constantly and served until 10.45 excellent. The hotel bar was very busy with a good atmosphere. We had a lovely room overlooking the canal, very quiet and peacefull.

The water for the shower was not quite hot enough and the temperature of the room again could have been a bit wamer. When you have been out all day in very cold temperatures you need to have a bit more heat.

This hotel is very centrally located, 5 minutes to San Marco and Doge's Palace and many, many restaurants and shops...direct to the hotel Water Taxi access or by Vaporertta at the Giglio stop next to the hotel. It is a nice easy walk to Rialto Bridge and Academia Bridge. The included breakfast is excellent, a full breakfast with eggs, breakfast meats, wide selection of breads, cereal and yogurts. The WiFi is very good at a cost of 1 euro. The hotel staff are very polite and very helpful. Would highly recommend. Our room overlooked the canal with Gondoliers frequently passing by.

Friendliness of the staff in all areas of the hotel, i.e Reception, Bar, Breakfast Room and Chamber Maids.Hotel Ala has an excellent location and makes viewing all the wonderful aspects of Venice very accessible.

I fell down and fractured my anke at the Opera House in Venice. The staff went out of their way to help me. Very kind and helpful people. Their breakfasts were awsome.Our room overlooked a small canal and it was fun listening to them sing and play the accordion.

The location was excellent, the staff friendly, helpful and courteous. The room was perfect and the breakfast was brilliant!

The excellent location, quality of facilities, service and the atmosphere of a Venezian Palazzo. And everything for a reasonable price.

excellent location; good breakfast; very good value. Venezia!!

The location was excellent and the staff were very helpful and prompt when I emailed them about the waterbus and directions.

Location was great. Right at the vaporetti stop ( giglio station ). Only 5 mins walk to St.Mark's square, and there are many shops, like gucci, prada, burberry, louis vuitton, along the way! Hotel staff was nice too. And breakfast was excellent compared to the european standard and considering the fact that this is only a 3-star hotel.

Wifi costs 1€/24hours. It's cheap, but this should have been offered for free.
