Our selected place to rest from our mini-adventure in Italy of 2 weeks across 10 different towns and cities. After experiencing fair share in mid European flair hotels, we wanted something modern, yet with character and quality. Its may seem a little daunting on the map that is is located far from the central attractions initially. But with a short... More

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in December 2011. It's located a bit far from the center but it's comfortable to use water boats so it was not actually a disadvantage. The beakfast was really very good! Rooms were large and clean. Personnel was polite and helpful. But there are no reatsurants and shop nearby. The price was... More

The room was spacious and very clean. Beds were extremely comfortable. Bathroom products were top end. Room service excellent. Fresh towels daily and regular bedding changes. Breakfast was varied, freshly prepared of very good quality and there was pleanty of it. Staff were extremely helpful from room service to reception. The bar staff went out of their way and worked...

I recently made a booking for our second stay at the Sant Elena. Stupidly I booked it for the wrong month (January instead of June!). I booked the hotel through a booking site at what was a non-changeable, non-refundable rate so you can imagine my shock when I realised that I had potentially thrown away some $AUD 300 +. The...

This was our first visit to Venice and at first the price seemed to be a bit competitive compared to other hotels in Venice and near by.. However... More

This is a great hotel, that is fairly priced in Venice. The only thing you need to be aware of is the hotel is a 20-25 walk from City center or a 5 minute boat ride which is 3 euro per person each way. We felt fine with the walk it is easy with some great sites along the water,... More

I wanted to stay at the Hilton, but our friends wanted to stay closer to the city. I am afraid of "quaint" hotels, I don't sleep well, and I'm very picky. This hotel was wonderful! The taxi driver couldn't get to the entrance because it was blocked by another boat. He called the hotel and someone came out to help... More

I stayed in the hotel during the beginning of April 2011 and everything was great. The room was huge for the price (the bathroom really impressed me) and everything looked new with a good tasting decor. I though in the beginning it was far from the "central" area, but I was wrong, I could reach the area even walking and... More
