We booked the hotel at the reservation desk at St. Lucia train station when we arrived in Venice. I had checked out prices and locations prior to the trip but it was a last-minute deal and we were flying standby so we didn't want to book anything and lose a deposit. We were very pleasantly surprised at our find and... more

The location of this hotel is very convenient, it is not far from the main city attractions and it can be easily reached from the railway station. The staff is very nice, helpful and friendly. The rooms are clean, cosy and decorated in the old Venetian style. There is a very spacious balcony and you could have a very beautiful... more

The hotel was extremely difficult to find but once found the welcome was warm. Our room was at the back overlooking a dingy yard, but was clean. The mattress was old and uncomfortable, the pillows very pitted and hard. The divan was torn and looked very unwelcoming. The bathroom was tiny and it was very difficult to move around as... more

This is a great place for 1 star. It is very close to the train station and we were only staying for 3 days so it was quick to get in and out. It's also right next to the main boat dock so also convenient. The hotel is down a small street that you could almost miss if you don't... more

Location is great for the train station and 3 bridges to negotiate from the bus station. Room was compact but clean and warm with shower and plenty of storage. Breakfast was adequate as was the service - as mentioned by a previous poster - only 2 staff serving and they manage fine. Reception staff helpful. 20-30 minute walk to St... more

Hotel Villa Rosa served it's purpose. Our room was clean and comfortable. It's close to the train station so if you're looking to be close to San Marco, this is not your place. We don't mind walking and we don't like crowds so the location was fine for us. There were plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast was average... more

I was appprehensive about staying at a 1 star hotel, but Venice hotel prices are absurd. I was shocked by the price of this 1 star hotel but could find nothing else that was well located and reasonable. My pre arrival email communications were answered promptly. Our requests for 2 beds and a low floor (we are a mature couple... more

The staff were friendly. We can't say anything about the breakfast since we had to leave the hotel very early in the morning for Florence. Anyway, serving breakfast at 8 AM was too late from my point of view. The location was not far from the station but quite a walk from the main street. Our room on the ground... more

Unfortunately I would advise you against staying at Hotel Villa Rosa. I stayed here for over 3 weeks ago for 5 nights after finishing an Intrepid trip. I booked the extra 4 nights with the hotel directly via the internet a month prior. Upon independent check in my booking could not be found and I had to print out the... more
