Alloggi Agli Artisti - Venecia

If you would like to be close to buses, trains and vaporettos, this is the place, three hundred yards from the buses to airport, one hundred yards from train station, yet in Venice proper, this is the place. However, rooms are tiny and cramped unless you have triple or quad. Breakfast is excellent, mosquitoes frequent

I was very impressed with the location of the hotel, and it was very easy to find coming from the bus station. the area we stayed in had plenty to offer and was just by a vapperetto stop, so it was easy to get around! The room was a good size, clean and comfortable. My only complaint was that there was never enough food at breakfast!

Very close to the train, bus, and vaporetto stations. Room is small but adequate. The double bed was really just two twins pushed together so there was a distinct ridge down the middle of the bed. We were only there for one night and only slept and showered. It was sufficient for our needs.

Good price for Venice and close location to train station. Room was very small and used a shared bathroom but the price paid was a good value.

The hotel was in a great location to the train station or bus station. It was on a quiet alley street and it had air conditioning which was nice too. The only negative was that the bathrooms down the hall were OK but a few of them had water all over the floor.

Do not stay here in a room with the bathroom down the hall and window on the street. It was SUPER NOISY and the bathrooms were constantly soaked... We got NO SLEEP. The street was full with loud and drunk people until all hours of the night. We could hear EVERYTHING that went on outside our room in the hall, on the street, in the floor above... Breakfast was good. Location on Venice is very convenient to train station. Bed was OK. Room was clean--except for the floor, but that was the norm in the hotels we stayed in under 4 Stars.

very impressed! perfect central location, lots of local amenities and nice restaurants, very friendly staff, good breakfast and large comfortable rooms. worth every penny

We were travelling on a tight budget, to check out the Carnival of Venice, and were aware that getting a booking in the city at this time of the year might be costly/difficult. I'm pleased to say we found this one, as although it was nothing very fancy, it was clean and the staff were pleasant. The breakfast included in the price proved to be great, too (croissants, yogurt, coffee, etc.). Most rooms seem to have shared bathrooms, but this was okay and we'd rather stay here than a hostel. Some rooms had balconies, but it was too cold in February to make use of these. We did have to change rooms at one point half-way through our stay (the staff explained this when we first checked in) and one of these rooms was a little cold at night, but otherwise I'd happily stay here again in the the future.

Fantastic location for all interesting places to see in Venice. Clean rooms and bathrooms, very good breakfast, but very thin walls. We can hear people next door which weren’t the best experience. Apart of this I think it is a good value for the money.

The hotel was located only two blocks from the train station, and one block from the vaporettos station, make it very easy to find it and to move around Venice, the continental breakfast was just ok. The room could have been a little cleaner, the bed was very confortable and the shared bathrooms were clean. lots of restaurants and shopping very close by. It does not have an elevator but it only has three floors so it was at least for me not an incovenience.

I will not recommend this hotel to anyone. It will be well worth it to spend 10 bucks more and look for a hotel elsewhere. There was a strong stench coming from the rooms and it appeared that their sewage lines were broken. Plus when we arrived there were no towels and even after repeatedly calling the front desk we were not provided with any till the time we left. A few points in favor are the proximity to the St. Lucia Station and free luggage storage even after you check out. But these small pros are far outnumbered by the cons. Seriously, look to book a hotel near St. Marks' Square or Rialto and buy a one day pass for the water bus.

We didn't get the double bed we asked for, but rather 2 twins. However, the friendly desk clerk was willing to give us free internet for the 3 nights instead, because of the full booking of the hotel. The free breakfast was surprisingly good too!

If you are catching a cruise from Venice, this is a great location. It is a few hundred yards after the first bridge into Venice (Piazzala Roma). It was a neat typical European room and it is a quiet alley (walkway) if you want to sleep. There is no name telling you where it is, but it is findable, once you cross over the bridge and walk a few hunderd yards, turn left into the alley (the first one I believe) go down 200 yards and it is there on your right. The name is on the hotel there. Every time you leave the room you must turn in the key as you walk past the front desk (Their rule, but not one problem). Typical continental breakfast is served in the hotel in the AM. Don't pay more than 60 Euro for a couples gondola ride, they will start out high and if you walk away that gondelier or his partner will follow and over a better price. The ride will be around 30-45 minutes. Have fun.

This hotel was really great. We had a nice big bathroom, a balcony with a table and chairs on it and a really big bed. The staff were friendly and there was a relaxed atmosphere. It is very close to Santa Lucia trian station and to a vaporetto stop so it's really easy to get everywhere. The only problem was there was no lift.

So it was Venice, it was convenient. Tiny room, shared bath. It was more than adequate. Most of the staff were wonderful. What ruined the experience was only one particularly rude man at reception.

Simple and clean, but extremely convenient location if you're coming/going to Venice by train.

Nearer 3 star than the stated 2. Helpful staff. Excellent value

This was a perfect location. It was only 2 blocks from the train station and the water taxis but yet it was down a quiet street. The cleanliness of the room could have been better, as could the lighting. When we closed our door there was an empty potato chip bag on the floor behind the door, evidently missed by the maid. The breakfast was adequate but the staff was very indifferent.The breakfast room was very small and many times the silverware ran out and the napkins, etc. and it was hard to get their attention. The front desk staff was excellent and helpful.

I stayed two nights at this hotel this visit (I also stayed here in April 2007), and the main draws for this hotel are the very reasonable prices (for Venice), the closeness to the Santa Lucia train station (it's just around the corner, basically), and the helpful staff. The hotel seemed "older" this visit, and my room was smaller this time, with a difficult key and lock for my room door (although the staff told me that they're working to replace all of the old door locks). The hotel doesn't have a lift (elevator), which is probably one of the reasons the prices stay lower. But I was on the first floor this time (one floor up, in European reckoning) and it wasn't a problem. The continental breakfast was good although not very varied in offerings, and it was served in a very small (and crowded at times) breakfast area. This is a decent, quaint, small hotel, with good pricing for the Venice area.

The hotel is very clean and accommodating, but ask for the first or second floor, if you stay here. We enjoyed our visit here, except for the lack of an elevator (which we were informed about prior to our visit). Our floor was called the fourth, but it was actually atop the fifth flight of huge stairs. Luggage was impossible, so we left our large suitcases in storage on floor one and only took out what we needed. Good exercise, though.

the hotel was very easy to find. 5 min from the train station . the people was very friendly. the room i think wa very small.

great location, big rooms, filling breakfast, ideally placed for vaporettos.

I would not reccommend this hotel to anybody. The hotel wasn't very clean, the staff were rude and it was over priced!

Very close to the train station and a vaperetta stop. About 35 mins walk to the main square but what a great walk it is. Remember the hotel has a shared bathroom arrangement and they charge for the internet and want a deposit for the safe and for a remote to make the TV work

I have stayed in some bad ones (in Africa, Albania...) but this is the worst! Bathroom was disgusting (balls of hair and dust), mould all over one particular wall, furntiure was cheap chipboard with horrible white laquer, squashed mosquitoes all over the walls (with inevitable human blood as well) - I added 3 more to the list - the overall feel of the hotel was not at all good - filfthy. Grateful that we stayed for only one night - any more and we would have refused to have stayed. breakfast was totally disorganised - not enough tables, and when we did get one we were packed in like sardines. Croissants were warm (which was nice) bvut were filled with something (why do Italians ruin Croissants by putting stuff in them?). Once again i guess the rule is that you get what you pay for and this is about the cheapest you'll find in venice - it's bearable for one night (at least the bed was quite comfy and sheets were clean - though i didn't dare to inspect them closely for fear of what i might have found), and 2 of the 3 showers I took were hot. Make sure you take a mozzie net. Staff were friendly enough.

the hotel is located very close to the train station - down a small street near the first bridge in Venice. the room was a nice size for a european hotel and the rooms were fairly clean. Though the baths are shared there are enough that this was never a problem. The front desk people were very courteous and helpful. The breakfast was nice and the cappuccino was wonderful.

The hotel was not very clean, riddled with mosquitos (we both still have bites all over us 4 days later!), the shower went from hot to cold every few seconds and when we asked for a pillow for the room, the man on reception didn't help at all. If the hotel was a cheap budget hotel, I wouldn't mind but for the price we paid, it was not acceptable!

Cheap and cheerful. Very clean room with aircon and shared bathroom but for £15 per night more we could have got a bigger room with a on suit and balcony, but this was fine, as we did not spent much time in the hotel, there was too much to do in Venice. Close to railway station and water taxi station. The price also includes breakfast.

Although easy to find and conveniently located, the hotel is not much to look at. The rooms are in desperate need of a makeover or at least a spring cleaning. Our room was next to the staircase and we were awoken by thudding footsteps every time someone went up or down the stairs. The paper thin walls were ideal for listening to our neighbours tv, burping and conversations. Breakfast ,although adequate, was a very basic continental. What happened to the hotels 2 star rating I don't know, maybe the stars fell off as we saw no indication of them anywhere.

We booked two rooms, a double and a triple at this location. I was wary of the 2 star rating, but, the stay was great. Beds were comfortable, room was clean, with adequate amenities. Bathrooms functioned well. If you are not familiar with Venice, you will miss the "calle" as it's really nothing larger than an alleyway. Great location to the Train station and Ferrovia vaporetto stop. As numerous reviews have stated, beware that there is no lift at this location. We stayed on the second floor (third floor for the USA), and it was high enough. Breakfast buffet was small, but coffee was freshly made to order (espresso, machiatto, etc.). A great stay for the price!

We stayed two nights (May, 17 and 18/2008), and we were very pleased. Location is great (200 meters to Santa Lucia Rail station and 75 meters to Grand Canal. The hotel area has plenty of nice restaurants and trattorias), rooms are pretty big and very clean. Bathroom are also OK for European style, and breakfast was included in the price and was very good. There is only one thing we did not like it; the hotel has no elevator. Finally, the staff was very nice and helpful.

If you are not familiar with Venice you will be surprised at the size of the street the hotel is on. It looks like a small alleyway, but all of the streets are like this. There was a problem at breakfast. Don't know what happened right before I came in but the lady who was serving was upset and in a bad mood. I believe she was late getting breakfast on the table and Also, we asked for a second cup of cappiccino and she said, "One cup per customer". That was a little cheap for my taste. If they are going to serve only one cup of cappiccino per customer, they should have had a "regular" coffee machine going. The A/C didn't work and when we asked about it they said it was seasonal and this wasn't the season. It was a warm day but cooled of at night. Problem was they didn't have screens on their windows and we had to either keep the windows closed or fight mosquitoes.

I had rather low expectations for my hotel, as I imagine that there are thousands of such hotels in Venice. However, once I arrived I realized I had made the perfect choice. It took an easy bus ride from the airport to Plaza Roma, from which I walked over two bridges to there, already being immerse in the spirit of Venice. The room was reasonably large. I had a balcony that looked down on to the street and where the sun shone in the late afternoon. I sat there and read for a long while. The breakfast was plentiful and the staff where very welcoming. They had someone at the desk 24 hours. And, when I was ready to leave, I walked about 200 meters to the train station from where I could go to any Italian city. The location is ideal.

An ok location, a strong very hot shower, and a clean bug free bed is all get. It's not close to anything but the train station and the shower has only very hot water or cold water no warm water. If you like the look of a cheap Vegas hotel, wood paneling and all with a toothless hotel clerk Alloggi Agli Artisti is for you.

I booked chose this hotel for 3 reasons, 1 it's location, in a city famous for getting lost in all it's little ally ways it was easy to find and quick to get to from the airport just a short bus ride and a 5 minute walk and you were there. 2, it had rooms with private bathrooms, sharing a bathroom doesn't appeal to me at all. And 3, breakfast is included! It was clean friendly and the service was great. The entrance hall and stairway could do with a bit of a tarting up but otherwise a good hotel.

The hotel is clean and the staff were always friendly. Our room was comfortable and served its purpose. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to others.

Very close to Venice Train Station. Lot's of shopping nearby. Convenient travel options from hotel. Let us check in early!

The hotel was very easy to find from the train station but when we got there our room was in a different hotel, not the billed annex room. So it was another 5 min walk over the bridge and a couple of streets later we arrived at the Marin hotel. It was a little backstreet place with peeling paint and a couple of round tables out the front, but just the secret little place I wanted. The room we were allocated was on the ground floor by recpetion so it was a little noisy at times when other guests came in late or if the staff were having a natter, but the room was clean, nicey decorated and adequate in size for a short stay. Other points to note are that the recpetion is open 24 hours although the staff dont all speak English and there is a free breakfast buffet in the morning where they will also bring out coffee and coissants.

This hotel is close to the Venice bus and train station. It is within walking distance of all of Venice's main sights or you could take the water bus (vaparetto) for convenience. Be prepared to climb stairs upon your arrival. On our first night we had a room with a balcony on the 2nd floor. For our second stay we had a room on the 3rd floor - that morning the shower was cold, though the shower temperature wasn't an issue the time before. The staff is friendly and the continental breakfast was excellent. If you plan to tour the area after checking out, you can conveniently store your luggage, inconspicuously, near the lobby for as long as needed.

nice hotel, good value for money. room not a bad size, breakfast average. staff were all excellent.

The hotel has no elevator and I don't believe it has any rooms on the ground floor. Not to mention it is located down a cobbled street with only pedestrian access. I managed with a bad hip, but anyone with mobility issues should consider staying elsewhere. We had a great deal of luggage and Giacomo, our concierge, offered to put us in a room on the second floor rather than the top floor where we were originally booked. This was his suggestion the moment he saw our luggage. A very gracious accommodation, yet we still had to manage the 6 bags up four flights of seven or eight stairs. Very friendly staff and all seemed to speak English with the exception of the woman serving continental breakfast. The room was lovely, though quite simple and we had a very nice sort of balcony with a romantic view of the street. Very convenient location for anyone coming into Venice by air or particularly by train. Quite a walk to San Marco, but the walk was worth the trouble.

It's a good hotel for the price. There is no elevator, so be prepared to haul your luggage up the stairs!! The rooms are small, as most European hotels are.

Hotel is about a 2 minute walk from the train station, which was great! However, stayed on the 4th floor and had to carry luggage up the stairs, don't think they have an elevator. The shared bathroom was ok except for the shower-drainage was poor.

L'hôtel est très bien situé, propre et l'accueil est agréable. Les chambres sont climatisées et confortables, bien qu'un peu mal isolées. Le personnel d'accueil qui change souvent est très aimable. Seul reproche : le petit-déjeuner, peu varié et pas excellent (café imbuvable, sauf les capuccini, petits pains congelés cuits et croissants fourrés à la confiture). Mais le bilan est dans l'ensemble positif

Gute, wenn auch unspektakulaere Lage. Fuer Venedig ruhig. Zimmer hatte sogar kleinen Balkon, freundliches Personal, recht sauber, Frühstück spartanisch, wie in Italien ueblich, aber immerhin mit gutem Kaffee. Wuerde dort wieder einbuchen.

das zimmer wurde leider während des 5-tägigen aufenthalts nicht einmal gesaugt geschweige denn gewischt. es wurden lediglich die betten gemacht. im zimmer hatten wir auch noch gratis eine ameisenstraße zur belustigung bekommen :) die toilettenspülung funktionierte nicht und in den gemeinschaftsbadezimmern waren regelmäßig die haare etc. von den vorduschern verteilt, was noch richtig ärgerlich wurde, weil das wasser in den duschen nicht richtig abfließt. die lage des hotels ist gut und das frühstück ist in ordnung. alles in allem darf man eben für einen geringen preis nicht viel erwarten, allerdings halte ich ein sauberes und ungezieferfreies zimmer für die mindestanforderung um sich 'hotel' nennen zu dürfen.
