Hotel Alle Guglie  

The Hotel Alle Guglie is in a perfect spot (the Cannaregio district is a bit more local but with easy access to the tourist areas). The rooms are smallish but beautifully decorated with a modern bathroom and balcony overlooking the street if you are lucky. The reception is open 24 hours so you’re free to come and go as you please. There is a local fruit and veg market right outside during the day (great choice of fresh fruit) and plenty of good cafe bars and restaurants. The local food generally is good but not worth paying over the odds for so shop around and go for the 'tourist menu' where available - usually much better value for money. If you come via Marco Polo Airport get the Alilaguna Water Bus (5 min walk from the airport to the marina) to the Guglie stop which is a minute walk to the hotel – about 23 euro return. You can get a 2 day ticket for the Vaporetto for about 26 euro which will get you anywhere in Venice albeit at a leisurely pace. We stayed for 4 days in mid April and the weather was perfect (20ish degrees). Apart from sightseeing around Venice (which is beautiful and very unique) we spent many an hour with glass of vino in hand watching the world go by – very civilized !!

The only downside to the hotel was the breakfast. There was cereal, croissant, toast etc., typical continental style, just not to our taste. Not usually big breakfast eaters but something hot would have been nice.

Only a 5min walk from the train station. The rooms were nicely decorated and very clean. Excellent shutters on the windows so you could get a good nights rest. Breakfast was included and was really quite a nice spread! Free wifi is always a plus! The staff were friendly and helpful with whatever questions we had. I would highly recommend this hotel as it was very good value for money.

Try to request a room that doesn't face the street, as the market vendors who operate outside the hotel were very noisy from about 6am onward.

Very near the train station, only 10 minutes walking distance. The internet inour room was strong and reliable. Internet is important to us because we do our hotel and train booking thru it. And while travelling we need to be still in contact with our family and office. The hotel although small and have to climb stairs is clean and staff are accommodating and courteous. The place is on the market and shopping area. We did enjoy our stay.

Climbing the stairs with heavy luggage is uncomfortable especially to old people.

It was a decent hotel and the breakfast was ok. Bathroom was very clean and hot was available in plenty

Room was a little crammed .. But Venice itself is a place with not much free space and I think most hotels would be the same

The major problems were: 1- No elevator available! 2- The restaurant for breakfast was too small I liked 2 things about this hotel: 1- Although the hotel was too small but it was very comfortable and cozy 2- The staff were kind and hospitable

The location is fine, you can reach everything by foot. The staff is very friendly. Reception 24 hours open.

- Poor breakfast. Not what you expect for the room rates. - For tall people it's not comfortable: bathroom is like approximately 195-200 cm high.

The breakfast staff were friendly

The family room was at top in roof, the ceiling was so low my husband kept hitting his head. The room was so small it was claustrophobic. Would not recommend for a family the sheer flight of stairs that you need to get your bags up would send you running

Good Location, good breakfast, close to restaurants at a reasonable cost. Situtated in the real venice. Value for the price we paid. Would stay again.

Its location was ideal for my needs

It was what it was

Very helpful and friendly staff. Very convenient location, a short walk from the station and on a really nice street with lots of good shops, cafes, restaurants and a Market. We had a deluxe room and it was a good size for Venice and even had a bath which was a real bonus.

The hotel had free wifi but it was so slow as to be unusable from our room. It was possible to access it from a small lobby on the landing. Our room overlooked the Market which did mean being woken up at around 6.15, but this didn't really bother us as it was a nice room and the location had so much else going for it.

Breakfast was not great.

The location is good, close to the station.The room is clean.

The room is too small

Location is great in the jewish sector away from most of the tourists but nevertheless easy to get to the main attractions walking or via boats.

rooms are relatively small but fine for what we wanted
