Hotels near Gondola Station - S. Sofia in Venice

We stayed here for 4 nights this month, we stayed in the Fosaci suite which is huge and gorgeously rustic. The ceiling is hand-painted and really very special. There is no real balcony but the windows looking over the grand canal are massive, so epic views! My partner proposed to me on the roof terrace under the sunset which was magical! The only letdown of the roof terrace was that it was totally unattended meaning that there were dirty plates, food boxes and empty bottles around, it would be good if they could send someone up a couple of times a day to spot check. The breakfast was lovely, a really good choice and very friendly staff! Would we stay here again? YES! amazing location, amazing rustic, romantic hotel, and right next to the Gondolas and a fab ice cream shop just around the corner. If I could ask for one thing it would be to have a kettle in the room for tea and coffee. I highly recommend :-)

Previously stayed here all be it prior to covid IE stayed Dec 2019 but nothing has changed excellent staff, rooms cleaned to a high standard breakfast 1st class.you are virtually in the centre but away down in a Calle of Venice easy walking distance to all main attractions also there are a good few restaurants and bars mostly locals frequent and they make you very welcome would Ui stay here again of course and the prices are very competitive for the area

I would definitely recommend this ho(s)tel to young people. All the team was kind and helpful, although a very few of them spoke italian. The location is amazing, San Marco and its beautiful surroundings easy to reach by vaporetto number 2 - by the way.. if you are planning to spend at least 2-3 days it‘s worth buying a Venice card. Our bedroom was absolutely clean and the mattress comfortable. Still I would have appreciated one more towel pro person… by the high rate we paid.

Consigliato vivamente, Abbiamo soggiornato in questo albergo e siamo stati benissimo, a due passi dal canal grande a 20 minuti a piedi da piazza san marco . Vicinissima alla stazione e dal punto di di partenza degli autobus per l'aeroporto, le stanze molto pulite il personale attento e gentile e premuroso, la colazione abbondante e variegata.

The location is super conveninet as it is just near to the main train station. You dont have to drag your luggage or use the water taxi to check in your hotel. Downside is the 1st room was assigned to us is so smelly untill we couldnt take it and call to change another room instead. Luckily the customer officer on duty, he came to our room and take a look and agreed to change us to another room which was actually at the other building. We really appreciate that and he did apologized for what we encounter and give us a complimentary 2 glasses of wine. yet, so much time wasted on check in and check out process, and the hotel has got so much stair, even it bring you to the exact floor but there is still up and down stairs which you have to suffer to carry your heavy luggage in order to check in to your room. I guess thats how most of the European hotel being structured and designed but its so much hassle if u have a heavy luggage to travel around Europe. The 2nd room is bigger yet hot water dint work properly for the 1st night, i was shower in shirvering, and thats probably how i catch my flu! The kettle in the room after we boiled the water, there is a layer of Wax appear on the water surface, which I dont know why and it looks dirty to me.. hence I have asked to change the kettle too, and luckily they bring us a new one which fix the issue. Overall, if you are only loooking for the convenient and doesnt mind so much on the size of the room and comfortability, you can still go ahead with this hotel.

Immaculately clean! Comfortable beds. Friendly, helpful staff who were able to provide lots of good information and directions (Thanks Francesca and Giovanni! but watch out for Mikela in the kitchen and be sure not to take food from breakfast!). Nice breakfast (which they packed up for us and put in our room the night before we had an early checkout). Great for Shabbat stay! Urn and coffee/tea available all day. Great location! Right near the shul and Chabbad and kosher restaurants. Ba Ghetto is next door (actually partially on the premises of the hotel) but is not part of the hotel. A/C in the room was good. I'm so glad I decided to stay there instead of an apartment!

The hotel is perfectly placed if you want the beach as it is opposite a fabulous public/free beach but with the option to purchase umbrellas, food, drinks etc if you want. You have a view of the beach/sea at breakfast. Also the roof terrace has sea views one way and sunset views the other which is fab! Claudio who serves at the roof terrace is an absolute joy. Reception is 24hours and staff were friendly and helpful. It's a 20 minute walk to the waterbus stop which takes you to Venice, Murano etc but the walk to the stop is alongside the sea or the Venice lagoon so is pretty special. We bought a weekly ticket for the waterbus to Venice etc at 65€ each which we thought worked out to be good value. There is a fabulous pool area nearby and 'pay for' beach which is pricey but we thought pretty good value at 12€ each for a sunbed without an umbrella at the pool or 48€ for two with padded sunbed, umbrella and table. There's a nice snack bar so you can stay all day. If you want the 'best of both worlds' Lido is ideal. We loved the calm after a busy morning exploring and sightseeing and an afternoon on the beach or by the pool was perfect for us. At first I was disappointed there were shutters at the windows and no view but it got very hot so I was glad of the air con and shutters on returning from sightseeing. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. If you want sea views pay the extra. Breakfast was a help yourself buffet with lots of choice. Overall we were very happy with our stay. Tips: sit on a bench and watch the sun set over Venice/Venice lagoon. Visit Claudio on the roof terrace and enjoy a drink (and snacks) with a view.

We stay in the junior suite for 2 nights. The room was spacious and well appointed with all essential amenities. The downsides were not having good view (facing the other building’s rooftop) and water pressure was weak and not hot enough. The bed and pillows were clean and comfortable. The reception staff were always friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good. Appreciated the covid preventative measures that the foods were served in the individual containers.

We stayed here for 3 nights prior to cruise. Desk and concierge service were excellent. The room was beautiful, spacious and well maintained. Location is perfect, just 1-2 blocks from St Mark’s Square yet in a quiet canal side location. Daily breakfast buffet was very good.

I have lived in Europe the best, most cost-effective Youth Hostel, 177 nights in a two-person room, hotel-level environment, will also provide you with bath towels, each bed has a charging plug, as well as tables, chairs and cabinets, also There are several people in the common kitchen. The entire hotel is large and full of the charm of old European architecture. It is a youth hostel that allows people to stay for another night.
