stayed here for a couple of days and while navigating through the stairways of the hotel was rather an effort. on the flip side, the benefit of it was that you got to stay in the backside of the hotel so it was quiet and your rest is undisturbed from street noise and the loud reveller in the middle of...

Navigating the stairways, hallways and rooms of this hotel is like navigating a rabbit warren! The rooms are small and dark. I think the rooms were generally clean but that could be debatable. The staff was ok, Stefano in particular was very nice and gave some restaurant recommendations. The hotel is very outdated (wall-to-wall carpet and fabric covered walls in... More

Had to close bathroom door to see TV, bathroom door only opened halfway as it hit bed. The pics of bathrooms on this website were not any from our group! We had dingy shower curtains; bathrooms were as small or smaller than on a cruise ship. I had to walk a long way, up, down, around--about 25 stairs to my... More

The hotel was clean but decor very outdated. Breakfast basic but adequet. On arriving at this hotel we found the two ladies at reception were unfriendly, uninterested in their work, impatient and rude. This was not the case with the night receptionist who was friendly and smiling while he greeted us. They really could do better in welcoming their guests.... More

A fairly basic hotel with slightly dated decor but less than 5 minutes away from the Grand Canal, a vaparetto stop, railway station and just a little further to a bus station (useful for getting to the airport at awkward hours). The hotel overall could do with updating but everything we saw was clean and in good repair. The breakfasts... More

Good location by bus and trains, but just needed to brighten things up. The rooms are very dark and basic, the view from the small window was of roof tops and back of apartments, but it is Venice. Breakfast was ok with ham cheese bread coffee, not the best!!. Had problem with reception on arrival, they could not find our... More

Family with Teenage children who are always hungry, and raring to go. So this place was fantastic, a three minute walk from the station we basically dragged our bags from the train station to the hotel and found it in minutes. Its surrounded by eateries. The pizza place underneath the hotel can give you internet access easily, which was great... More

We are a family of husband and wife and a 9 year old girl. We went to Venice in July 2011 and booked 2 nights at Hotel Nazionale. We were very pleased with the hotel´s excellent location. For tourists, this hotel is perfect as it sits right on the ´walking street´ where there are loads of restaurant and shops. Although... More

I stayed in Venice with a friend,just for a couple of days,so we could visit Biennale.The bus we travelled on came to Venice very early,at 2am,and we went to the hotel,hoping we could leave our bags there,but it was locked,so we had to wander around Venice,which was empty and creepy,until about 5 am when we tried again.There was a man...
