Giorgione Hotel

Comment

Hotel was great, the staff fantastic and the location perfect. Only mild drawback was that our room was very cramped, not all rooms seemed small it was just the luck of the draw, but for the price I would have prefered a larger room.

Went to two fantastic restauraunts of the beaten track that were cheaper and the food better than those near the grand canal. The jewish quarter is worth a visit as it is quieter at night

Good location as Grande Canale and Fond. Nuove both in easy walking distance. Stayed there 31 years ago since when it has been refurbished. Thankfully it has retained its lovely traditional decor and character.Staff very pleasant and helpful. Complementary iced lemon tea in the afternoon an added bonus.

Top Tip

Find an osteria or ristorante away from Rialto for better value. Giorgione's adjacent Osteria is excellent(pay separately). Water bus from Fond. Nuove to the air port is the cheapest transfer and only takes 40 mins. Nice restaurant(just over the bridge form the pick up point) if you have time before you go. If you like peach juice and champers try a bellini (6 euros).

Great hotel, in an excellent location, very helpful staff and great little breakfast room.

Top Tip

Definitely make your way across to the bell tower opposite san marco to get an excellent view of the waterways. It is also empty in the mornings!

Very good location. Staff very professional and friendly. The only drawback was that the room was rather small

Round the back on the way to the vaporetto there is a really great restaurant.

Very good location. Friendly staff, cosy bar and public areas, excellent breakfast.

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.

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.

The only very small complaint, was that we had a room on ground floor around the fountain area, and early morning, about 0600, it became noisy, with glass bottles being tippied somewhere and men shouting to each other, but apart from that would definately return again.

Top Tip

This is a lovely Hotel, very central, very close to Rialto Bridge, and San Marco Square, Many Restaurants all within easy walking, would definately return to this Hotel, and Venice

Comment

Very friendly staff and a good location made this an ideal base for our first trip to venice, we cant wait to return to both city and hotel

Don't bother buying a water bus period ticket we wern't asked to show ours once

Comment

Good location but this is NOT a four star hotel - was very disappointed indeed. Our room was number 805 which to be honest felt like we were staying in shed, there were no windows but the door was glass! It was was on the ground floor we were kept up at night until 2am as people were sat around the pond/water feature. Then for breakfast the fountain started at 7am and then people would eat around the pond
