Traveller from Scarborough stayed in October,2007

Guest Comment:
Very nice location - walking distance to so many places, and easy to find (see tips). Staff were uniformly helpful and polite. We had one of the smaller rooms 224 - but it was fine. Crisp linen every day and room tidying/check twice daily. Breakfasts are great and the dining areas lovely.

Top Tip:
Airport transport can be expensive, so I would recommend the Aililaguna blue line waterbus at 12 Euros, get off at Fond. Nove (second stop)an easy 8 minute walk past the front door of the Gesuiti church then follow signs for Apostoli. Look out for the big G sign on the corner of the hotel before you reach the Apostoli church square. Return can be be by land bus for just 2 euros, from Piazza Roma (take a vaporetta from Ca'd'oro stop - 4 mins walk). Do buy a 1, 2 or 3 day pass for the vaporettas - available from the ticket booths at most stops. The budget restaurants are much of a muchness - but try the Casa Mia for more homely fare (head towards Santi Apostli, take first lane on the right). If Venice is too crowded, spend a half day on Murano. Eat at the very good value and homely restaurant almost opposite the San Pietro church, on the bend of the narrow canal on Fondamenta Mannini.
