Clean and well maintained, the hotel is very well located near a park and not very far from San Marco, about 500 m. The breakfast is more than acceptable. The only weak point is related to the small space of the rooms. More

Our selected place to rest from our mini-adventure in Italy of 2 weeks across 10 different towns and cities. After experiencing fair share in mid European flair hotels, we wanted something modern, yet with character and quality. Its may seem a little daunting on the map that is is located far from the central attractions initially. But with a short... More

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in December 2011. It's located a bit far from the center but it's comfortable to use water boats so it was not actually a disadvantage. The beakfast was really very good! Rooms were large and clean. Personnel was polite and helpful. But there are no reatsurants and shop nearby. The price was... More

The room was spacious and very clean. Beds were extremely comfortable. Bathroom products were top end. Room service excellent. Fresh towels daily and regular bedding changes.

We spent three nights in Sant' Elena at the end of December and loved it. It is a well priced hotel that has good & discrete facilities and a very good location. This was our first visit to Venice and at first the price seemed to be a bit competitive compared to other hotels in Venice and near by.. However... More

This is a great hotel, that is fairly priced in Venice. The only thing you need to be aware of is the hotel is a 20-25 walk from City center or a 5 minute boat ride which is 3 euro per person each way. We felt fine with the walk it is easy with some great sites along the water,... More

I wanted to stay at the Hilton, but our friends wanted to stay closer to the city. I am afraid of "quaint" hotels, I don't sleep well, and I'm very picky. This hotel was wonderful! The taxi driver couldn't get to the entrance because it was blocked by another boat. He called the hotel and someone came out to help... More
