Venice Resort

Not a 4 star hotel as advertised. Rooms are very small, shower is very very small. They’ll charge you 17 euro for shuttle service to the airport. Breakfast is ok but skimpy.

I really enjoyed this property because it was setup like an apt building so there was no hotel lobby to walk through and/​or have to leave your room key with (lots of Italian hotels require you leave the key at the desk when you leave the room). When you check in you are instructed to go to one of their other hotels and then they will have an employee escort you to the Venice Resorts property about 5 – 7 min walk away.
The location was fantastic because it was in the middle (or at least easy access) to most of the key sites and areas you wanted to see in Venice. They did offer free breakfast vouchers that were to be redeemed at a coffeeshop less than 3 minutes away, but I never used them. I did make one attempt but after seeing the line of customers I decided to get something elsewhere.
The rooms are clean, the chamber maids were on top of things almost to the point of having to «shoo» them away, comfortable beds, good A/​C (although you had to turn it off as well as lights b/​c fuse issues did/​would occur), near decent restaurants and very close to Pz Roma. The shower was a bit on the small side, which could pose a problem for those needing more space to move around.
There was also a spot where quite a few gondoliers would hang out at (due to the bar across the sidewalk) so I did see a few people catching rides from that point. So, if that is your thing… consider it a close taxi stand (lol).
I’d definitely recommend this hotel as well as stay at it again the next time I am in Venice.

Stayed here for our first night in Venice, as we got into Marco Polo at 11pm and didn’t feel like doing the valporetto/​wandering around late at night to find our hotel thing. The service was great when we arrived, however we blew 20 euros on a cab (1.5 km from the airport) just to find out the hotel had just started their own shuttle service the day before. Oh well, no fault there, just frustrating.
The room is nice and clean and modern, with a very nicely designed bathroom. The grounds are nice, and it is within walking distance of several restaurants. Even the free breakfast was great, with eggs, bacon, fruit, fresh pastries, and partial service.
So why 3 stars? Well, imagine the firmest mattress you’ve ever slept on. Now imagine a board. This mattress was somewhere in between the two. We were exhausted after 18 hours of traveling, but both slept terribly due to the bed and the extremely flat pillows. This place is a great example of wonderful aesthetic investments at the expense of spending any money at all on the one thing that you interact with most at a hotel — the bed.
