My husband and I recently stayed five nights at this hotel. It certainly served its purpose for a stay in Venice. Breakfast was adequate, the coffee was quite good. Biscuits, croissants, cheese, ham etc. A few cereals to choose from. The rooms were decent sized. Some posts complained about small rooms but we had no problem there-- plenty of room... More

My partner and I stayed at Alcyone Hotel 30 December. The location was perfect, within minutes you are at San Marcs Piazza or Rialto Bridge. The staff were very helpful and the room (despite being rather small) was lovely, clean and relatively comfortable beds. We had our own bathroom and didn't find any problems with the hygiene or cleanliness. The... More

I chose the hotel for it's location which is fantastic but would never return again. While entering the bathroom it became clear that this hotel doesn't care to much about hygiene: lots of mold in the shower, fungus on the faucet, urine on the outside of the toilet (after the first cleanup, I still needed to ask the reception if...

We stayed for one night. It was clean and Allesandro was very accomodating, friendly and helpful. The room was warm, but we had a fan. Its a bit strange sharing the owners bathroom with them, you feel a bit intrusive. It is very central to everything in Venice. Breakfast was made in Allesandro's kitchen, yogurt, breads tea/coffee. Very good for... More

the rooms are so small that there is barely any place to stand. there isnt enough space for 2 suitcases. we chose the hotel for its location which is superb but there are tonnes of better hotels in the same location. very disappointing. More

I'm glad that we weren't swayed by the negative reviews because we were pleasantly surprised by our stay at the Hotel Alcyone when we visited in May 2009. The location is fantastic - very close to St. Mark's Square and many wonderful dining options. On top of the location, there was a free daily breakfast -- nothing over the top,... More

Excellent hotel in all respects. By Venice standards price is good value. Book direct with hotel for best rate. Can`t understand the negative opinions expressed by some unless they prefer the blandness of cloned, multi-national sameness. This hotel is SO Venetian it is gorgeous, plus clean, friendly, helpful, safe & great location. Very good buffet breakfast with gondolas sliding past... More

This hotel was in a good location about a minute walk to St Marco Square etc but other than that I'd prefer to stay elsewhere. The hotel walls are super thin and this lead to very little sleep as there were people partying into the early hours on all nights, the room was very small but clean and not too... More

Excellent location, just a few minutes walk from Rialto and St. Marks. My single room was small (I expected that in Venice) but OK for the price. The bathroom was very small and restricted and might be difficult for a bigger person or someone with mobility problems. The continental breakfast was included in the price of the room and, for...
