qiana.family_with_childrenDec 09, 2024 Our week-long stay at Agli Alboretti was wonderful. The area is quiet, away from the overwhelming crowds, and felt very safe at night. It is only a couple of minutes from a vaporetto stop so you are not going to drag your luggage too far or up and down stairs. There are also a few nice restaurants about 5 mins away. We loved that there is a little convenience store nearby so that you can buy extra bottle water, snacks, fruit, even things you may have forgotten like chargers, etc.
The staff are very polite and friendly. Our room was clean and comfortable, not too small, and serviced daily. The bathroom looks newly renovated with a great shower and a towel warmer. I appreciated that we had an electric kettle to heat water and a refrigerator, as well as TV. The breakfast buffet was pretty basic, not a lot of variety, but we didn't mind because it was included in the room price - saved some money to buy more gelato later!
It is close to the Guggenheim museum and some limited shopping but you will have to walk about 15 minutes to get to some of the more popular areas.
Highly recommend - this was my first trip to Venice and I would absolutely stay here again.
Wonderful visit. Hotel was professional and accommodating.
This hotel is a jewel very well located, great attention and the restaurant full was awesome. I will recommend it.
eleanor.partnerNov 09, 2024 Excellent location with two vaporetto stops, less touristy than San Marco area, a bit pricey for our budget but worth it.
Everything at Agli Alboretti was over and above what I had expected. Superbly run family hotel. Friendly and efficient staff. I shall return and recommend.
margaret.partnerSep 21, 2024 This is an old style hotel, with limited facilities. The breakfast room was sweet and the staff member who brought us coffees was efficient and friendly. Breakfast was very limited though. The clearly recently renovated shower room was modern and good quality.
The bedroom itself was described as a ‘junior suite’ with ‘terrace with view of the garden’. The room was actually a small double room with a single room adjacent containing a hard bed/ not sofa. There was also a table and two chairs. The ‘terrace’ was a small balcony with a view of the restaurant’s outside seating area. The single room had a proper curtain but our double room only had a see-through tuille curtain. So at night people in the restaurant could look up and see us getting ready for bed, and in the night every time the restaurant security light came on it shone into the bedroom. Very weird! The decorations were chintzy/flowery and old fashioned, with dark wood furniture. The lift only takes one person at a time (I need a lift) so my partner had to walk up or down the stairs. The reception area is tiny and the receptionist not overly helpful or friendly. A male cleaner helped me with my bag, which I appreciated.
This is a two star hotel, with old furnishings which are ‘characterful’ but not particularly comfortable. We paid A LOT for the room on the basis it was a junior suite, I.e. a bit more spacious and luxurious even. It wasn’t. Would not stay again
barbara.partnerSep 14, 2024 Very Quaint property within sight of Acadamia bridge and vapporetto stop.
Quiet area, good continental breakfast with lots to choose from!
Close to Accademia on a quiet street. Front desk staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast staff a little cold. Hotel was showing it’s age but that’s part of the charm.
Perfect location! Super clean. Friendly helpful staff. We will be back!
karen.partnerAug 07, 2024 Staff was exceptionally wonderful! Room was very clean and nice to have sitting area. Air conditioning in August worked well and so very nice to have! Location was very quiet and convenient. Breakfast area with covered outdoor option was lovely. Home away from home!
Amazing hotel very strategically located
Two choices of water bus to go anywhere at 2-3 minutes and 10 minutes to main tourist areas. The room was very confortable and the staff were very friendly. We really recommend it!
We had a wonderful time in Venice and the Hotel was fantastic. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Breakfast was awesome and the location was great, quiet but close enough to everything to walk.
Great location, average comfort
The hotel is in a great location and is charming. The restaurant was very nice and breakfast each morning was good. Being an older building, I was expecting uneven floors and older plumbing- which it was and didn’t bother me. Unfortunately it also applied to the furnishings so the armoire was very loud to open and close and the bed was not very comfortable. It was an average experience.
Very well done, small hotel.. just seconds from Accademia. Great staff.
What a wonderful little local hotel. The location is amazing for Venice. Just a 3 min walk from Accademia water bus stop. At the end of the block is the dock for day trips to Murano as well. Venice is surrounded by smaller canals so unless you take a water taxi for $50 from the airport, you’re gonna have to drag your suitcase up and down bridges or get a luggage delivery service. That’s why this hotel is at a great location. It can be a bit noisy around opening or closing time for the museum nearby when people walk from the water bus station to the museum but other than that, it’s pretty quiet. The beautiful chirping of the birds make you feel like you’re in an oasis too. The trees planted in this neighborhood draws them in. As for the room, I was upgraded to a suite with a separate sliding door, 1.5 bathrooms (2 toilets but 1 shower), individual air conditioning units, and a day bed in the living room. The bathrooms looked newly renovated as well. I think the room was not suitable for the majority elderly people staying there due to the flickering pot light in the bathroom. We unscrewed it but house keeping put it back in and it still flickered so it must have been an electrical issue rather than a burnt bulb. Overall though, I would stay here again!
Hotel was very quaint. Great location, continental breakfast was good. The only bad part was the bed. Two twins put together to make a king which left a gap down the center. The bed was very hard and lumpy.
A great place to stay. Just away from the very busiest parts of the city, but within 2-3 minutes walk of two water bus stops (including one on the Grand Canal) and within easy walking distance of much of the city anyway. Very friendly staff, good breakfast. We had a slightly larger than standard room which was lovely - spotlessly clean, very nice bathroom / shower, comfy bed. English spoken which were grateful for because our Italian is very poor. Everything we needed for a 5-day treat for ourselves. Couldn't recommend enough.
Tip: if coming from Marco Polo airport and you've got time, the Alilaguna blue line boat takes you to Zattere, the stop at the end of the street. It's 90 minutes but that's because it winds most of the way round Venice so you get a great overview of everything. And only 30 euros return.
Very close to the vaporetto, and many restaurants.
