One of the cheapest hotels in the center of Venice. It is walking distance from Rialto Bridge, The area is full of hustle and bustle.Small, clean and cosy rooms. The staff is helpful but no facillities like internet, coffee or breakfast...

right in the centre of san marco ares close to all attractions
very basic but very clean
we were on an overnight stay before cruise
water taxi from airport took us right to the hotel unlike some
this is one of the reasons for booking and one of the cheapest hotels in this area
no facillities eg coffee or no breakfast but has a restaurant next door many coffee shops and restauranata around hotel

This is the hotel booking I was most worried about as there are so many mixed reviews on tripadvisor on the property. Having worked for the hotel industry myself I tend to ask the question why so? And the only reason i find is that the staff may have not been very communicative with some guests,.they are not ill intentioned but they just cant speak English. Sometimes the owners are at the reception themselves and they speak very less English. The receptionist on night guard is an indian and speaks excellent English. But all are quite helpful if you ask them a precise question. However we found this hotel to be very good for what it is and the price you pay.

To start with it is very easy to find if you download the map on their website and refer to it, we did not get lost even once. It is a small family run place located in a 400-500yr old building so one has to understand that there will definately be limitations to how one can configure modern hotel rooms in this space, but inspite of that they come out with flying colours. We stayed in their smallest room, it was small but quite comfortable. The bathroom was spotless with even a bidet. We did not find this place noisy at all as our room opened into a narrow alley (which was clean)There is a place below this hotel which serves which serves decent slices of pizza for breakfast. and another which serves good fruit based cocktails.

To sum it up I would not hesitate to stay in this hotel again,

Last week stayed at Al Vagon for 2 nights. When checked-out at 9 AM asked to leave my backpack at the reception for a few hours. I made a terrible mistake as I forgot my credit card in the bag. The next day received a phone call from my bank telling me that my credit card was used in online shopping the exact day my bag was at the Al Vagon reception. It was hard for me to believe that I was robbed, not in the street, but in the place I stayed, wich by the way is awful and to avoid at all costs.
