Boscolo Bellini  

The staff were particularly friendly and helpful. We arrived in the midst of a crisis with the hotel having a burst boiler. We were taken to the 5 star Boscolo Dei Dogi for the first night and returned to the Bellini the next day without hassle. The rooms were clean and reasonably sized for Venice. Breakfast was good. Best of all is that the hotel is literally a 2 minute walk from Santa Lucia Station right in the heart of the Cannaregio district which has less expensive restaurants and shopping than the San Marco. Also San Marco is only a 20-25 minute walk away.

The Hotel Staff were wonderful.

The Air Conditioning in our Room in Venice was not working but the Hotel staff switched us to another room that was much Cooler. However, the shower head was full of "Mold" and another light needed to be be replaced.The most important thing is whatever went wrong the hotel staff fixed it. They made our stay very comfortable and enjoyed our stay.

Friendly, helpful staff. Had a lovely large room overlooking the Grand Canal. Close proximity to the station and also easy to walk to all the main attractions in Venice. Also convenient for getting to the cruise terminals without having to spend a fortune on a private water taxi.

Very nice room and not a bad location.

Rather expensive, especially for food that was less than average quality. It was a "wanna be" luxury hotel that didn't make it from the dining to the bellhops.

Proximity to the railway station

Dreadful breakfast with orange squash instead of juice always an enigma to me in countries with plentiful fresh fruit,tea and coffee from machine was undrinkable.

The location was excellent, morning breakfast was good but next time in Venice I'll skip including breakfast. Liked staying close to the train station, easy with luggage. the 15 min walk from San Marco square meant we always had a nice walk after dining. If one doesn't want to walk, the water taxi stop is just outside the front door of the hotel.

we stayed in early December, our room was hot due to the heat generated from other rooms. We had ours off, opened the windows which was wonderful except for the mosquitoes that then bit us while we slept. I doubt much can be done about the heating inconsistencies in such an older building

The hotel was sited close to the station and the Piaazzale Roma where the Airport Bus drops off, however, it's a long walk to Piazza San Marco. The room we were given was large, clean and the outside veranda was very nice. Breakfast was the standard buffet service with a hot scrambled eggs and bacon option which was ok, however, there was a limited fruit selection.

The reception desk was very busy and there was a long wait time for service, the hotel would benefit from a concierge service. The only internet connection was in the hotel bar. Housekeeping did not check our room very well as there was no tv remote or safe. We were given a safe, however, it was easy to pick up and anyone could have taken it.

Location and friendliness of staff...we asked to move rooms because of noise and they accomodated us . The hotel was less than one block from train station. Also breakfast was very nice and included in room rate.

First room was on alley and it was very noisy.....once we moved, the noise was no longer an issue.

location was excellent staff very helpful, rooms & baths comfortable, great buffet breakfast!

The initial room was two story with the bathroom on the lower story. The upper area (location of bed) was very dark with a low ceiling. The need to be able to go downstairs to use the restroom at night would have been a major issue due to problems with my equilibrium. The staff changed the room when we asked. The original room was totally unacceptable, however the new room was fine.

Although we had prepaid the room we would have been forced to move to another hotel if staff had not been willing to change the room. The initial room assigned was totally unacceptable and would not have met the description for a superior room as described in your website. I would only recommend with a caution to ensure they were not given the two level room.

It is both elegant and comfortable a rare combination today since more period style architecture tends towards the overdone. Even though close to the main train station, therefore, near the hub of the city, it was very quiet. A well appointed hotel.

Convience. It was very close to a water taxi stand and the water bus.Lots of eateries and shops around. Also close to the bus station and train station. It was a quaint,kind of old fashioned hotel. We had a room at the back of the hotel (my request) with a court yard close, which was lovely if only the weather was warmer. I saw lots of people pulling their cases for long distances to get to their hotel, so was very glad for my choice. At 76Euro a night, it was very reasonable for such a location.

No land access.No heating the first night

It was comfortable in great location. Good breakfast.

Room was quite small
