B&B HOTEL Venezia Laguna
Really nice, simple hotel. Brand new, so it is in great condition. Location is good. Not in the center, but only 3 stops from train station. Breakfast was nice, but unfortunately no vegan options at all. Room is great, simple, but pretty large and very comfortable bed. Very nice shower, everything ...

Hotel Montecarlo
We stayed in a standard double room, it was nice but a bit cozy. The location of the hotel is probably one of it's chief benefits, although beware that it is very close to some church bells. When they ring you will feel it.

Hampton By Hilton Venice Isola Nuova
The breakfast menue included local cheeses, croissants with chocolate, jam or cheese filling, scrambled eggs, chicken "saussage", a veriety of fruits and vegetables, a waffle maker, fruit tarts, tea, coffee, and juice. Over all, it was a great quality for a continental buffet.

Palazzo Dei Guardiani
The door outside wasn’t reliable. It was locked for at least 15 mins and could’ve missed our tour. But someone was able to open it and they fixed it.
