Good location close to bus station,so as one and can flee as quickly as possible.Venice is wonderful.But this Hotel should be sunk into the canal.

This hotel was great simply based on the ease of access to the main train station and the main vaporetta station. Their are several restaurants within a short walk that are excellent and it is only a 20 minute boat ride and 30 minute walk to St Mark's square. A little pricey but well worth it.

Our stay here was quite satisfying. The room was spacious and clean and the small garden at the rear for breakfast or socializing was a wonderful surprise. Hotel staff was helpful and courteous. We were able to store our luggage when we arrived early. We particularly appreciated the location on the Grand Canal and just two blocks from the Piazzle Roma and the bus station. We were close to one of the main bridges and close to shopping and bistros.

We stayed on two different occasions at the hotel. Our first room was so small that I had to go outside just to change my mind. The second room was better. Overall, I would definitely return. The location was superb as it relates to ease of transportation. We saw so many people of all ages and sizes hauling their numerous luggages around Venice. It was so simple to reach this hotel from the bus stop. I highly recommend it for ease and simplicity. It is not fancy by any means, but it was very comfortable, expect the showers.

I would NEVER recommend this hotel to anyone. We reserved and received a confirmation for a quad Grand Canal view room and ended up with an inside room with no view. I reserved this room nine months in advance and they had plenty of time to let me know I would not have the room I requested. The air conditioning was non existent. The window was broken and repaired with duct tape (I am not kidding). After you take a shower a very strong sewage smell comes out of the floor drain and it is so strong that you have to leave the room. We ended up putting wet towels over the floor drain in order to stifle the smell. If you want a nice stay in Venice, avoid this hotel!

WE stayed here for 2 nights. The hotel is in a very good location. IT was bars next door and the ferry stop 2 minutes walk away. I suugest you book a room with a canal view, as our had a view of the rubbish bins which was not plesent. Everything wa fine apart from the breakfast. This was nasty with stale rolls, tinned fruit and hot milk for cereal. But apart from that it was fine.

My 3rd time to Venice. Easy to find from train station, but I won't stay at this hotel again. Far from San Marcos and no good resturants around the hotel. Customer Serivce very poor and the price is tooooooooooooo high for that hotel. Breakfast not good at all. I mean it was BAD.Pay little bit more and stay in San Marcos.

Nice hotel, very clean, close to rail and bus station. Directions from airport to piazzale roma. Buy ticket from booth at left of departures,blue no 5. This bus has space for luggage, 5 euros. Exit airport opposite departure. Bus stop across the road to the left. When you arrive at Piazzale roma. In the left corner the Vaporetta stop and the ticket office.Just to the right is a bridge. Go over the bridge and keep left. As you go around corner the grand canal is on your left. Go over the next bridge.Hotel is just over the bridge. On opposite side of grand canal is the railway station. Hope this helps.

This is sthe first time we have stayed at the Canal & Walter and it was as we expected it to be. There was everything we needed and the rooms were pleasant, alhtough one or two things were in need of repair. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet, although we would have preferred our coffee/tea to be much hotter than it was. This may be because we are English though! The supermarket (Co-op) nearby was very convenient if you wanted food to eat out. It was pleasant going into the centre via the Canal because it an enjoyable trip although sometimes rather crowded - only to be expected! I would recommend your hotel and we hope to come again some time.

We have closets larger than the room we were given. The smallest room I've ever stayed in. The worst part of the stay here was the "bites" my wife and I had in the mornings after waking. The first night I blamed the bites on bugs coming in from the open window facing the canal. The second night the windows were shut tight and again we woke up to many bites on our body. My wife wanted to complain but I just wanted to get out of there. We both realized we had been bitten by "bedbugs." GROSS! The red bites are still evident on our skin. We brought are suitcases home and sprayed flea spray on them. The sheets had not been changed while we were there either. The same spot was evident the next night on the sheets. As far as staff, Only the man at night was friendly. The women who worked the breakfast area was rude and acted like she disliked every minute of cleaning up after the visitors. Venice left a bad taste in our mouths. We were ripped off as soon as we got there. A woman and man offered to carry our bags up the steps so we could get to the other side. They then charged us about 55.00 dollars! They are con artists who prey on tourists. We were going to tip them, but the amount they charged was robbery. My crime was being foolish for not asking them "HOW MUCH" before accepting their offer. BE AWARE! Venice is the most expensive place I've ever visited and the food is not worth the price. You are paying the outlandish amounts because, "it's Venice". The water taxi was expensive and the first night they dropped us off a long way from our destination. We were responsible to catch a bus back. They need to tell people before they get on that they are going to be stranded without a way back. Very disappointing over-all.

The location was great - accross the bridge to the Train station, very close to 2 water bus stops. The breakfast garden was very pleasant. Rooms were small (but most are in Italy). The spreadsheets were not the cleanest.
