Hotel Gardena

The location is simply perfect. The bus station is so close by. The Grand Canal is literally 10 yards away. The train station is not far off. We had a great room with the canal view. The options at break fast were plenty and fresh. The granola and coffee at breakfast especially were very good quality. The room was of a very good size with the canal view, as we requested. The bathroom was very clean and all facilities worked as expected. With the window open, it felt very fresh inside.

Charming hotel , with comfortable and beautifully decorated rooms. The bed was super comfortable. The location of the hotel is perfect, just 4 minutes walk from the Piazzalle Roma for coming or going to the airport and train station. The stuff were very friendly and kind. Special thanks to the front desk personnel. The hotel is open 24/7, which was great because I had a late night flight. And they also have a luggage storage, so I walked wandered in Venice before my next flight. I had a very lovely stay at hotel Gardena and will definitely come back. Very much recommend it.

The location of this hotel is super convenient PLUS it is on 2 canals so you have a view if you select a canal view room. An easy 5 minute walk to both the train station, bus station, and Pzle. Roma. From these locations you can easily get anywhere (Murano, Airport, Florence, Vaporettos to local sights like Rialto and San Marco (or just walk and wander the alleys and find treasures). The canal view was exciting as gondolas and delivery boats were constantly passing by. Only thing that would have made it better is if there was a balcony off the room. The staff at this hotel is also really lovely. Everyone from the front desk reception to the breakfast staff could not be more accommodating or ready to help. The deluxe room is spacious and has a modern and large bathroom. There is a TV and also heat in the room (not sure if there is A/C for those traveling during warmer months.

Hotel Garena is located very close to Piazzale Roma which is great if you are coming from a bus or taxi and do not want to carry suitcases up and down multiple stairways. There were only 2 that we had to cross and the first one had a ramp so we could wheel our big suitcase. The 2nd did not have a ramp but it was not very many steps. The hotel was clean and the breakfast was excellent. The staff was great and the shower worked great. I thought the bed was a bit too hard but my wife, who likes firmer mattresses thought it was great. The room was quiet but then, there are no cars allowed in Venice which limits the noise.

This hotel is located about 10 minutes away from the St. Lucia train station by foot, so you don't need to hire an expensive water taxi to bring you and your bags there. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful and ornate, just like in the pictures. The breakfast was good - a selection of pastries, fruit, cheese, ham, bread, cereal, tea, and coffee. We were there during the low season (early Jan) and one night was less than 100 bucks. I would definitely stay here again.
