Hotel La Forcola  

Excellent location, value for money

On the one hand, the location is really a big advantage: you can easily walk to any sights of the town. Even when the staff recommend you to take a waterbus to reach some of the sights, don't hesitate to go there on foot. The locals really overestimate distances.

On the other hand, its location may be a disadvantage at night. Our room faced the noisy street, so we had to sleep with closed windows. It was rather hot, so we would have preferred a bit of fresh air.

Our room was small but comfortable with 2 small balconies, safe did not work and hairdryer had little power. Breakfast was fine and hotel offered good value.

Our friends room next to ours was 'tired' and in need of a make over, we would usually have requested another room but did not do so due to our late arrival.

It was situated on a main "thoroughfare" next to a bridge over a canal. It was about 15-20 minutes pleasant walk from Rialto, and about 25-30 minutes from St Mark's Square. It took us 6-7 minutes to walk from Guglie bridge, where we arrived from the airport by Alilaguna waterbus (orange line). The room was clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel.

There were no tea or coffee facilities in the room, so I would advise taking a travel kettle and supplies.

We liked the location as it was central to the things we wanted to visit. As it was our second visit we decided that the Hotel La Forcola ticked all our boxes.

We had nothing to complain about otherwise we would not have used the La Forcola again, as we were there in March 2011 for a long week-end.

Great location Staff very fiendly Room clean and furnishings stylish for Venice Excellent breakfast

The staff were very friendly & helpful. The hotel was clean.

Shower\bathroom I could not figure this out as the shower was in the same compartment as the toilet and bidet so I ended covering the toilet in water which did not drain away properly. Breakfast I am not a lover of sweet things so my breakfast consisted of 2 bread rolls and nothing more. These are just my personal points everything else about the hotel I could not complain about

Good location, good rooms, low price

The best part of the hotel is its location, close to the train station, on the main street and easy access to Vaporato and other tourist hangouts. Walking distance to Rialto Bridge and other activities.

We arrived very early in the morning by train and were disappointed that the hotel was locked. After a bit of banging we got in. The breakfast was very basic, for similar room rates we had much better breakfast.

Good Air Conditioning. The single room was pretty small, but sufficient for just myself and a quick stay.

Excellent in front desk service and comfortable room environment

Need further big renovation, for example, bathroom water leaking....

I room was so small and unconfirtable, the shower is in open space and the water flow every every where in the bathroom.

Position was ideal for me - I was attending a conference.

I felt that the breakfast could be improved considerably without the management incurring vast expense.
