During my research for hotels in Italy it was tripadvisor which provided me with the choice that I made of staying in the Sofitel Venice. Please do not misunderstand me the hotel was in an excellent location for walking to main train station. If you were like us travelling throughout Italy using the Eurostar Italia trains. As previously mentioned by... more

This was our second trip to Venice. We were delighted with the Papadopoli Venezia(but everything still says Hotel Sofitel). The staff was very engaging (particularly Stephano at the front desk). The location is close to the train station and water taxi (preferred way to get around Venice if not walking) so getting around requires walking, but Venice is a city... more

This hotel is very easy to find from Piazza le Roma so saves on the dragging suitcases over the many bridges. It is also away from the crowds in the city centre and has the benefit of being in an area that contains good quality reasonably priced restaurants. The rooms are of good size and well equipped and our bed... more

me and my boyfriend stayed here for 4 nights in march this year, and it was lovely, the rooms were nice, the staff were excellent, the location was fantastic, it isnt near the rialto bridge or anything really, but it was in a peaceful location with a few cafes and restaurants near by, i like to see the tourist things... more

Perfect location in a wonderful city. Lobby, staff, restaurant were all fine. But the OLD rooms are just that, beat up & battered. Demand! a redone one and away from the street side. more

However, by the time we arrived it had changed hands and is now known as Hotel Papadopoli apparently - although even my bill at the end of the stay still said Hotel Sofitel. It therefore has... more

We booked a room for ourselves and an adjoining one for the kids on the fourth floor. We had a small outdoor balcony, which overlooked a canal. The neighborhood was reasonable quiet. The location, near the train station and adjacent to the Papadopoli Garden, is outstanding. The hotel accommodated some special requests, allowing us to check in early in one... more

Spent two day at the Sofitel prior to a Med cruise. The room was comfortable and clean although somewhat small. However it still had plenty of storage. Staff were very friendly and were only too pleased to help out with directions, recommendations etc. Hotel is situated not far from the main bus station which is where the bus from the... more

From the moment we arrived, my wife and I were thrilled with the service at the Sofitel. The room was beautiful-my wife loved the balcony.The location is also excellent-we arrived by train from Florence- very easy walk from train station . Also easy exit to Airport as you'll appreciate after Venice grabs all your money on everything else. Howard 7/3/09 more
