    As the last time I had booked the Hotel Olimpia and this time they had not overbooked, so we were able to stay there. We had a nice room, even our own balcony. However, it was too cold to sit outside.Breakfast was very good, buffet style with lots of various food to choose from. I really liked some small pastries, filled with vanilla cream. Delicious!

    We had got a good deal through DER Tours , so the room was a bargain for Venice, about 90 Euro for a double, ensuite bath and breakfast.

    It's no more than 5 to ten minutes walk from the train station to the hotel, even less from Piazzale Roma.

    Hotel Olimpia is near Piazzale Roma and very easy to walk to from the bus terminal. It is one of the nicest hotels we have stayed at in Venice. Right on a canal, drinks or snacks can be taken outside on the path while you watch the canal traffic gliding by. Although a 3 star hotel,
    the service is unquestionably 4 star. Friendly and helpful staff with lots of tips on where to go and what to see. Rooms are beautifully decorated in Venetian style and are spotlessly clean.
    Thoroughly recomended

    • Olimpia definitely exceeded my expectations. The room was spacious, had a lovely view overlooking a garden, was exquistely appointed, immaculately clean, and very comfortable. A decent breakfast was also provided. Olimpia provides a terrific location. It is next to the Piazzale Roma (where the buses come & go to the airport) as well as very close to the Stazione Ferrovie (which is the arrival and departure point of trains servicing Venice). Another asset is that when you inevitably become lost in Venice, signs are always present to direct you to the Piazzale Roma which is next to your hotel. The hotel staff are helpful, friendly, and multi-lingual. While Venice is correctly described as an expensive city, this hotels rates were half the "less expensive city" of Florence's.

    The Olimpia is also close to a Vaporetta station. Also, there is a supermarket (COOP) directly in back of the Vaporetta station. Venice restaurants are not really all that great and are highly predatory and inventively predatory (for example, the tourist menu may be reasonable, but they charge a cover, or absolutely roast you with the wine prices, including the alleged 'house wine'). To avoid an expensive and mediocre meal, go to the supermarket ( Billa is also located throughout Venice) and buy your goodies there. The wine is cheap, the food terrific and cheap. For example, a Bellini cocktail at Harry's (rip-off) Bar is $16. You can get a bottle of Bellini which will provide five or six Harry-sized cocktails for 4.47.

    Booked our trip through gotoday.com and the Olimpia was the bargain selection. We thought it was very nice with friendly staff. We arrived around 12:30 and they were nice enough to give us a room even though 2pm was the official check-in time.
    Our room had a view of a small courtyard. As most rooms we've had while visiting Europe, this one was small - but had a good size bathroom and also a mini-bar/refrigerator.

    Although not in the heavy tourist area surrounding Piazza San Marco, we felt the location was great, especially if you're traveling on a budget. Just a short walk from the Piazzale Roma where you have the only connections to vehicular traffic in all of Venice. The train station is only a 15minute walk away also.
    Therefore you can save lots of money in not having to pay to get your luggage to a more distant hotel (or hauling it yourself). It's also close to Campo Santa Margherita a very active 'square' with a street market, shops, restaurants and bars - popular with college students.

    This little hotel was a pleasant surprise. The rooms were newly refurbished and the bathroom was large with a huge new tub. The rooms were quiet and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. They did have an interest in pushing the free murano trip though, which we declined. I would recommend this 3 star hotel to anyone. I don't know the value of the room as it was included in the price of the tour we took.

    The hotel sat on a small canal with a restaurant right next door. Our room overlooked a tropical courtyard to the back. The breakfast was one of the better we had while in Italy. Nothing fancy but at least some choices.

  • Directions: The hotel is located directly across from the bus station, but far enough away that noise and people are not an issue. It's also a 3 minute boat ride to the train station or you can walk to the bridge to get there, about 10 minutes.

    This hotel was decent. My in laws had a very large room over looking the garden which was very charming. My husband and I had a small room overlooking the bus station, not so charming! Request a garden room! The breakfasts were wonderful. Very good coffee and pastries.

    It's very conveniently located near the train station, bus station and rental cars. We came in by train and left by car so it was very easy to get in and out of the city. Other hotels may require that you take a taxi or bus (which are both really boats) to get to your hotel. We only had to get off the train and walk a few blocks and we were there, which was very nice.

    Wonderful Gelato shop right around the corner!
