The location of this hotel was very well positioned, only a couple minutes walk from the station. Breakfast was ok, with cereals, yogurts and fruit. However, this was the only real positive attributes about the hotel. The air conditioner in the room leaked water onto the floor and created a nice puddle right by the door. The bed was very uncomfortable as were the pillows. Luckily we did not spend too much time in the hotel. Overall while the hotel was fairly priced due to its location and breakfast, we were quite disappointed with the condition of the room.
Stayed at the Hotel La Forcola 4 nights during our trip to the Venice region. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Staff was nice enough, but not overly friendly. The room we stayed in was small, but we were still able to move around quite well. We requested a balcony and recieved one on the canal side. The bathroom was quite small, especially the shower, but it felt great after the long trip from the U.S. ( reguardless of the amount of water on the floor!). Breakfast was good (croissants, cake, yogurt, cereal, coffee, juice, water, nutella, jam.). Overall it was a nice stay and would book there again.

We stayed here for 2 nights on our honeymoon. We thought the location was really good, easy walking distance to st marks square and good shopping nearby but we were disappointed with the hotel itself. The staff weren't very friendly and seemed grumpy all the time! We paid extra and got a canal view room and the view was nice but the room was nothing special. The bed was 2 singles pushed together and uncomfortable and the bathroom was dirty and tiny, we even saw a cockroach or 2 running on the floor! Breakfast was basic but not bad and the coffee was good. I don't think we would come back to this hotel.

This was my first trip to Venice and if this hotel is a representation of the quality of hotels in the $200 a night range I will stay across the bridge next time. The ambiance is just "old". The only other postive things are that the staff is mostly patient, speak good English and the location is fair- 15 min walk from the train. The beds, pillows and linens were very old. The mattresses were very hard and the pillows did not bend. Wake up calls didn't happen. There was a pidgeon nesting in the bathroom window and the window sill was in disrepair. TV has no English channels.

The location was fantastic. We arrived at the train station and took the waterbus two stops and then a very short walk (easy to find) to the hotel. When we left the hotel two days later we walked back to the train station. It really is close enough to walk even if you're dragging a bag or two. The area is perfect for walking everywhere which is what we did. We loved how clean the hotel was, the staff were very helpful, everything was just great. We found great restaurants close by and totally recommend this place for all kinds of travellers.

While the staff was friendly, we did not get breakfast as we had to leave before they served breakfast. The location was good but the room was not worth it. We stayed in many hostels that were far better! The room was dark and so musky, when you walked into the bathroom, the source of the musky smell was apparent. Along the top of 2 walls and on the ceiling was very large portions of black mold! Both ended up sick after one night of staying here! Will not ever stay here again. Will find a hostel next time.

Stayed here for 4 days. It had to be the worst hotel we stayed in. The rooms were bad, the hotel staff very unfriendly and not helpful at all. The breakfast was terrible and very basic. The only positive about this hotel was that is was a 10 minute walk from the main train station. There were better hotels in the area at much better prices. Too far from San Marco's Square. Avoid this hotel. The hotel staff needs training on how to interact with tourists. Definitely will not recommend this hotel to anyone.

We loved this hotel. The location was great. Very nice in the morning when the market vendors opened up. The room was clean. The shower was small but where in Italy isn't the shower small. I recommend it highly! Front desk staff was great. We didn't have a reservation and just walked up. We loked being off the beaten path. It wasn't until our last night that we realized the grand canal was only a three minute walk out the front door.

this hotel was very well situated to use as a base, with the San Marcuola waterbus stop very nearby. The room suited our needs for the stay, and we found the hotel a pleasant place to stay in. The staff were courteous and helpful, and the rooms were kept well. Breakfasts were good and gave us a good start to the day.
