Hotel Al Sole

The staff were very helpful and polite - they could not do enough for you. The room was clean, bright and modern and was a good size for Venice, given that many rooms in the City can be quite small for the price that you have to pay for a 3 * Hotel and above. It is well located in the Santa Croce area has a a lovely garden area but despite its central location is very quiet so perfect for a good nights sleep. If I return to Venice I will stay here again.

Only problem was that on arrival there was a mix up with our room and we had to stay one night in a lower standard room than the room we had booked. However, it was quickly sorted out and we were properly compensated for the inconvenience.

Staff helpful, nice breakfast and cleanliness. Also hotel situated in a very ideal position to train station and buses.

Approachable staff and spotless accommodation teamed with readily accessible location from point of entry into Venice. Location in a quieter area of the city but still within easy striking distance of the principal sights. Excellent value for money with the opportunity to stay in this well-restored palazzo.

Whilst understanding that pigeons are omnipresent and a perennial nuisance throughout the city, it was impossible to take advantage of an alfresco breakfast in the hotel garden without (literally!) sharing your cereal, brioche and cup of coffee with these winged menaces, unless you spent the entire time on arm-waving sentry duty.
