No real bad surprises. Quiet area and safe at night. Several restaurants and tratorias available close by. Close enough from public transportation 5-10 minutes walk from piazza roma. The big issue why we will not go back is the tiny bathroom. Other than that it is an OK hotel.

A very enjoyable stay, but english breakfast was advertised and only a buffet was served on all days we were there, which, although it did not matter to us nevertheless deviated from the advert. After an initial problem with our room (very small & shower broken) we were moved with no fuss.

Planned a 30 year anniversary trip with my spouse and his brother and wife. Fell in love with Venice, but get off the beaten path and explore the real culture. Our rooms were fairly spacious for Europe and a moderately priced hotel. Bathrooms are small but that is to be expected. Staff was courteous and helpful. Hotel is 500 years old, but was clean and had nice character.

Excellent service by staff. Even gave us a drink and food box to go for breakfast as we had to leave early. Fantastic

Nice old palace with canal und garden view rooms. Some rooms (cheapest) with view to the wall. Very nice breakfast terrace. Good breakfast variation. Prices very high but usual for Venice. Hotel is not far away from railway station und bus station. We liked it very much !!

Nice hotel, well situated, but our room was really very small.For us it wasn`t a problem, we didn`t spend much time at the hotel because we were busy sightseeing.

It would be more convenient to have more shelves in the closet

I stayed at the Hotel Alsole with my husband for Valentines. We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel was very clean and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The Venice carnival was on whilst there and we had a fabulous time wandering around and through the tiny streets. I would recommend this hotel, although the room was small, but you spend so little time in your room that it did not matter. The hotel itself is lovely with a welcoming reception and lovely breakfast area. Our room faced the canal - lovely view every morning. The staff were helpful with suggestions and the quickest way to get to the sites

I stayed 3 nights in february. Hotel not far from San Marco. Well placed. The breakfast is not very good. The choice is limited.

Al Sole is a lovely hotel in a converted Palazzo. The location is perfect for those traveling by train as it is only a 10 min. walk from the train station. The concierge, Luca, is extremely helpful and common areas are lovely, including the breakfast garden. Al Sole is on a secondary canal in a beautiful location. The concierge recommended several good restaurants in the immediate area and gave us a map, circling areas of interest. The only negative is a bar next door and its extremely noisy patrons. We were there three nights and two of them were awakened by the noise of a large group drinking outside the bar, singing/yelling loudly and jumping into the canal. Fortunately, Sunday nights the bar is closed. Our room was on the front of the hotel with a great view of the canal. I would presume that those occupying the rooms in the back don't have the problem with the obnoxious bar patrons next door.

The Hotel was what i expected. There was a heavy smell of damp as you entered, not surprising fro Venice. The receptionist on departure was not the most polite to leaving guests who were quering the bills. Its position was very good however. The breakfast room was very dark and the selection was meager.

We had a wonderful 5 days in venice. The hotel was in a perfect location about five minutes from the bus terminus. The hotel did not serve meals other than breakfast which was lovely and in the garden area. There are lots of restaurants in the vicinity, the most special meal we had was a lunch on the canalside at Rialto bridge - expensive but worth every penny.
