This hotel, a former convent, is located at the western end of Venice. The area is not frequented by tourist and is one of the most quiet and serene places in Venice. While it is a 15-20 minute or more walk to San Marco, there is a Valparetto (water bus) station very near and it will take you to San... more

What a really pleasant hotel, my wife and I stayed at the Best Western Sant Elena for three nights between the 27th and the 30th October 2009. This old Convent has been very nicely converted. A friendly, modern hotel 20 minutes walk from Piazza San Marco or two stops on the Vaporetto. A great location in a quiet residential area,... more

We stayed at Hotel Sant Elena for 4 days in October 2009. I would highly recommend this hotel for its location, cleanliness and price. We pre-paid and got a rate of around 109 euro per night (included breakfast and free internet). We absolutely loved the location. After a day of sightseeing with the crowds around St. Mark's Square, it was... more

Stayed at this hotel in October with a group of friends and had a fabulous time. The hotel is very modern in design and our rooms were very clean with good facilities. Breakfast was included in our rate and this was very good with a selection of hot and cold items - the only thing was that the breakfast room... more

Location on far end of island is nice to get out of main squares, however hotel was harder to find. Staff charged us an extra 20euro per person on top of what we had booked online (for some reason I don't remember other than it was to take advantage of tourists). Stains on carpet and bathroom wasn't as immaculate as... more

Get lost in Venice as the old saying goes! You could literally walk round for miles, never passing the same place twice, and this Hotel on Sant Elena is a hidden gem, out of the limelight, so somewhere to relax after a busy day. We stayed for 4 nights on a B&B basis, and found the room very comfortable, modern... more

After almost 24 hours of travel the Hotel Santa Elena was a godsend! The hotel was two minute walk from a beautiful park and the vaporetto stop. The rooms were comfortable and still had the feeling of the old monastery that the hotel once had been. We were there on the night of one of their biggest celebrations with fireworks... more

Very pleasant hotel. In a quiet and residential area of Venice with an excelent access to Vaporetto station. 20 minutes of a pleasant walk to St. Mark Square acrros the great channel. Nice, confortable and elegant room with a wonderful bathroom. Very good breakfast and helpful staff. Definetely if I come back to Venice I'll stay again. Highly recommended. more

We only stayed for 1 night, accomadations were clean and pretty. Breakfast was great. There is a little cafe around corner for drinks and dinner. We were 10 in our group and had a great time. Would love to have stayed longer. Great location away for everything but near enough to walk to St. Marks. Fortunato's in Florida more
