"Loved this location - easy to walk everywhere. The hotel was charming. We did not spend much time in our room which was a bit small and had a view of a narrow alley, but it was clean and the bed comfortable, overall a good value. The breakfast was a nice benefit that allowed us to eat before heading out early."

Amadeus Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for 3 nights whilst visiting Venice. The hotel is in the district adjacent to the railway station. Lots of local restaurants and bars to frequent with most offering better prices than the over priced San Marco area. A short walk to the water taxi locations, if you feel energetic its around a 30 minute walk to San Marco. The hotel offered clean basic accommodation, rooms had the essentials, breakfast was quite good and the staff pleasant. The only downside is the awful wifi whilst in the rooms. We had 3 rooms and all were the same. Wifi in the downstairs reception / public areas was good. For a short stay this hotel is ideal for those not demanding 5* luxury."
