Hotel Al Sole

It was a property full of character and well situated near the railway station. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Breakfast choice was very limited.

It was clean, had a lovely atmosphere, was beautiful & cool when it was piping hot outside

There was nothing we didn’t like

The hotel is only a few minutes walk from San Marco parking garage and the bus station, but is a relatively quiet area. It was built in the 15th century as a noble house, so lots of Venetian character. It even has an outdoor courtyard for enjoying breakfast, a coffee or a drink, although wet weather meant we weren't able to use it. We had a very large room, at least 30sqm, with a king size bed and a single bed. It which was on the 2nd floor, and had four large windows overlooking a canal. Very lucky to have managed to book this very large room. Very helpful reception staff and a lift made check in easy. Very nice dinner at the nearby Restaurant Ribot.

Breakfast was disappointing as no hot food choices, limited fresh fruit, only one cake and coffee from a machine. Wifi in the room was intermittent.

Excellent location - handy for the airport bus, water bus (get an early one to go down the grand canal as Venice wakes up, then back to the hotel for breakfast). Good variety of local restaurants and bars at reasonable (for Venice) prices. Friendly and helpful staff, large room (overlooking the garden), Although breakfast had limited choice, it was absolutely sufficient in our view.

As with previous reviews, the decor is a bit dated upstairs and the bathroom is a little 'worn', but perfectly adequate. The outside garden area could do with some attention if guests are really expected to take their breakfast there.

the location is a short 15 minute walk from the bus station. you have to cross one bridge in order to walk to the hotel. the directions from the hotel were spot on. the canal view was as advertised and worth the extra money. the breakfast exceeded our

nothing! this property was GREAT!
