Despite advising the hotel of a late arrival, we were overbooked. It wasn't just us either, there were other people arriving at the same time in the same predicament. They put us in a sister hotel - the Belle Arti which was in a far less convenient location, and was terrible. The night manager was useless, as was the day... more

It was 2 years ago I was in Venice and now that my associate is travelling there again I am prompted to write this brief review/warning. STAY AWAY. This is hotel HELL if ever there were such a thing. 1.Smell is terrible. 2.Room is small (and I live in Japan so I am used to small rooms)3.Shower was dirty, I... more

This without a doubt the Worst Hotel we ever stayed at. The reception staff was extremely unfriendly. The room was small, The bathroom was no larger than a closet There was a very unpleasant odor. The place was infested with bugs. We visit Venice from time to time but will never again stay at this dump. more

with all due respect to previous reviews, please consider that this hotel has just re-opened after a complete refurbish. The location is the same (duh!) and it's just great: right by campo san luca, between rialto and san marco. the rooms are quite small (as usual in venice), but everything is brand new, very nice and very clean. the picture... more

The location is superb. Very close to Rialto Bridge and not too far to walk to San Marco. It also have a direct airport shuttle boat from Rialto Pier (you have to buy the ticket on board; don't trust what it says on the sign). The area is surrounded by souvenir shops, high street brands and multi-culture food. Nevertheless, we... more

Stayed at this hotel (booked through a French online agency) for 4 nights in August. Overall, it did give us a roof and a bed for 4 nights. The location of the hotel, of course, is hardly beatable, just minutes from St Mark square. The room was quite big, and nicely decorated. Cleanliness was just passable - the sheets and... more

The hotel itself would have been acceptable for its price due to its convinient location with easy access to either the Rialto Bridge or the San Macro Square. The rooms have an antique type theme, no AC (supplied with a fan though), surprisingly clean and modern bathroom for a budget hotel. Personally I liked the washroom, however I am of... more

The Alcyone is a 2* Superior rating, and just about makes the grade. It is functional, clean and welcoming, but very much no-frills. The rooms are bijou and basic, and - in our case - VERY high up (53 stairs high, actually)... but they were tidied daily, with new bedding and fresh towels, plus there's a decent enough en-suite bathroom,... more

This was the third hotel of four we stayed in on a similar budget whilst travelling in Europe and was by far the worst. However, considering the price of hotels in Venice this was probably an average experience for this price range. The photos on the hotel website do not do justice, whilst we expected the room to be small... more
