 View from the window of my
room by christine.j
It was a small room, with a tiny bathroom. No shower curtain, which meant the bathroom floor was flooded after taking a shower.
The bed was small and there was barely space enough for my small bags.But you're not in Venice to spend too much time in your room, so it was okay.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included in the rate, several croissants, rolls, jam etc.
What I liked best at Hotel Arlecchino was the location. I know many people want to stay right at St Marco's, but I prefer being close to the train station. It's about a five minute walk, very easy to find.My room faced a smaller canal, which I thought was just picturesque as overlooking St Marco's.

Then turn left and cross the second bridge on your right.Website: http://www.hotelarlecchino.com/

| Arlecchino Hotel: A short walk from Piazzale Roma

In Venice to find a cheap accomodation is almost impossible, but this is very reasonable, by online booking a double room 250 Eu!! Located in the Santa Croce district. The rooms decorated in Venetian style and have either garden view ( and you can see also the ocean liners berth in the distance.) or a fabulous canal view. They are spotless and cleaned every day, however, very small.
The breakfast room is airy and light, overlooks a canal. Breakfast is simple and straightforward with a mix of Cereals and rolls, cheese, meat and yoghurt along with tea, coffee and orange.
Very good location, 50 metres from Piazzale Roma bus station and parking place, 250 metres from vaporetto Nr.1 stop, and 5 minutes from the railway station.
Pets are allowed. All spaces are non-smoking. Children under 6 stay free when using existing bedding.

The hotel was close to Piazzale Roma, which made getting to Venice both inexpensive and pleasant. The ATVO blue bus that you pick up just outside the doors of the airport drops you off right there. It took me a moment to figure out which direction to go to get to the hotel (as the bridges aren't always where you think they are) but around a corner and over one bridge and you are there. While I could tell others rooms weren't ready (the lobby was filled with luggage when I arrived), mine was on arrival and I was directed up. The keys are heavy, but you leave them at the concierge desk, so you never have to worry about losing it or having it stolen.
Breakfast was cold meats, swiss cheese blocks, hard boiled eggs, breads, cereals, butters, jellies, nutella, coffee, juice, tea, and freshly made hot chocolate, espresso, or capuccino.
I was there as a single, so I got the room seen in pics with the small pink walls. It was actually a bit more spacious than the pics, and enough for what I needed. It had a view out to the canal and toward Piazzale Roma and was quite charming. There were two windows, so if I wanted more air, I could have easily gotten it. There was a bidet and a toilet, sink, and a tub/shower combo, with no curtain. The shower head was detachable though, so it wasn't much hassle making sure I kept the floor dry. The furniture was charming, the closet an odd corner circle, again, enough for my needs. The elevator is small, but enough for a few people or 2 people with bags being a bit tight. The stairs weren't too difficult to manage, at least going down and the breakfast room is on the first floor (that's the second floor for those in the USA).
The staff spoke English (some better than others), and they were very helpful with any questions or needs. Overall, I was very charmed and pleased with the hotel.
For Italian Breakfasts, it was one of the better for me. The espresso was quite nice.
I stayed here as part of the least expensive package deal, and my hotels were perfect. It's at the end of the 1 Vaporetto line, and if you take it, you can have a slow tour down the Grand Canal and see the sites while sitting in the front or back of the boat. It was a great way to get acclimated to Venice.
Remember, pack light for Venice. Getting over the bridges is a bear with a heavy suitcase, no matter wheels or no. It's not too much an issue with this hotel, but the less stress you have in getting to point b, the better.
Being single and female, I didn't feel any concern walking the streets alone. Expect to be twisted and turned around, but you can just look for signs to Piazzale Roma to get home. Theme: HotelComparison: least expensivePhone: 39-0755057933Directions: when you get out of the bus, or off the vaporetto, head toward your right. Look for the path leading you off the piazzale between two news type stands. Turn right and go over the bridge, you can't miss it.Website: http://www.venice-hotel-arlecchino.com/
