"The room had incredible air conditioning and was very clean. The location was right in the center of everything so it was very convenient while still being quiet. Our room was nice but we did not realize our bathroom would be downstairs in a public area. I believe this is the only room like that. It was fine but not ideal."

Hotel Bella Venezia

Hotel Bella Venezia

10/10 Excellent
"I enjoyed my time here. I selected it due to having an included breakfast (which was excellent) and being on the main part of the island close to Piazza San Marco and other meeting points for daily group tours if needed (it was my first time in Venice). The hotel staff was kind, helpful with directions and tips from the outset, and friendly day in and out during my 4 day/3 night stay. The room has air conditioning if that’s important to you (it was for me after some hot days wandering about in July) and it was clean. Housekeeping keeps the hotel and your room tidy. If I spent more time at the hotel, I’m sure I would have enjoyed it. Solid choice for a hotel in Venice that I wouldn’t hesitate to book again on a return visit. It was very easy to get to and from the airport and water taxi at the Rialto stop - a direct 200 meter walk to the hotel was simple to navigate even during a crowded afternoon arrival when many people are roving the alleys of Venice."
