"This hotel is very close to the train station which is great when you have bags to lug, but pretty far from St. Marks and the Rialto Bridge. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Note: not all rooms have showers so make sure to request a room with one if that is important to you. It was important to us and asked to be moved, and ended up with a much smaller room. Breakfast is very good and there is a bar and comfortable lounge area."
