Compared to the other 3 and 4 star hotels at which we stayed during our 10 nights/days in Italy, the Boscolo Bellini was by far was the most over-rated. Despite the excellent location, we would not stay there again. Very outdated, even old, furnishings in room. Simple request to replace light bulb over sink never happened over the 2 days nights we stayed. […] All other hotels included breakfast for similiar rates. No "climate control" or "air conditioning" as advertised - not even the "free newspaper". Requested a quiet room...our room was just above the busy street. Witnessed another customer being hasselled when she tried to leave a day early. They would not refund her money. Buyer beware on this place. Skaityti daugiau

Very nice hotel, very friendly staff, great location.

Location was excellent. Room was small and hotel staff was not very helpful.

Location is great. Rooms are typical European small, but comfortable. Staff was very helpful and friendly. There are many similar choices that are less convenient (train station is 2 minute walk, water bus <1 min., water taxi <1 min) for the same money. Who wants to sit in their hotel room when in Venice anyway? Good choice.

the hotel was perfect, location perfect! Would definatley stay again

If you are taking a train into Venice, this hotel is in the perfect location. Water taxi's in Venice cost 35 euros or more per person, so it was nice to be able to get off the train and walk my bags a few doors down to the hotel. The hotel is also in one of the busiest areas of the city so there was a lot of shops, markets, and restaurants close by. […] For someone who doesn't like a lot of noise from the city, this may not be the best place to stay. The workers at the hotel were very friendly and accommodating and were happy to let us store our luggage at the hotel after checkout before our train arrived. The rooms were nothing fancy, but were well kept and definitely worth the cost of this hotel. If or when I go back to Venice, Boscolo Bellini is where I will be staying. Skaityti daugiau

Hotel is very well located right next to the main Venice train station. However, the room was very old. We had problems with the air conditioning which didn't work whilst we were there. Neither did our fridge. We complained and they said the air cond would start working again in April n they would have someone come fix our fridge but that didn't eventuate. […] Also, wifi is only available in the lobby but was a good speed. Overall, it was an ok experience as the hotel was well located and it made it easier for us to travel to and from our destinations. Skaityti daugiau

It dont lived up to 4-star. We changed hotel after first night and booked a 3-star hotel closer to San marco square and the standard was much better.

Everything is wonderful here. The rooms are clean and neat, and the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place. The only negative is that it's a bit far from San Marco's square, which is the main attraction in Venice, but I had a great time walking through town and seeing all the parts, so I didn't mind.

We have been travelling for six months, mainly in Europe. We want to say that the service at this hotel was the best of all and the front desk staff are exceptionally helpful and service-oriented.

The hotel is ideally located for those arriving by train or bus. Indeed, it is a one minute walk from the Santa Lucia railway station and a leisurely 10 minute walk over the (relatively new) Ponte della Costituzione bridge from the bus station in Piazzale Roma. The hotel is also convenient for sightseeing, with a Vaporetto (water bus) stop and the Scalzi […] bridge (for walking to San Marco) right outside the front door. The surrounding neighborhood (of Cannaregio) was fine. We found a number of guide-book recommended restaurants within a 10-15 minute walk, and plenty of coffee shops for a quick breakfast. (The hotel did offer a buffet breakfast, but we did not partake.) The hotel staff were knowledgable and friendly. However, the property itself was a little disappointing. I would classify the hotel as a 3.5 rather than a 4 star because the bedrooms/bathrooms require some refurbishment. And they could use a new elevator. Positively, our room was clean and quiet, the bed comfortable, the water hot, and the hanging/drawer space adequate. But, the room was "faded," and smallish--containing just one dining-room-style chair. The TV was old and small, and offered only a couple of English-speaking channels). And, the bathroom was a little cramped. Skaityti daugiau

Wonderful !!!

This was my 4th time staying at the Hotel Bellini as it is one of my favorites in Venice. If taking the train ino the Santa Lucia station, the hotel is just steps away without going over any bridges, which is crucial when you have luggage ! I will continue to stay at this hotel everytime I visit Venice!

We were very pleased with the Boscolo Bellini Hotel in Venice. It was very well centrally located where we could walk to everything. Room was very clean and very comfortable. Staff was very accommodating, and a great breakfast, too.

The location is literally 50 meters from the exit of the train station, and right on the canal near one of the main bridges. The hotel lobby was very nice and the breakfast room comfortable (breakfast included). The only problem with our room was the air-conditioning. The a/c was not able to keep up with the outside temperature being so hot, and it […] did not cool down the room. Other than that, our stay was very nice. Skaityti daugiau

This hotel is next to the train station which makes it very convenient. Access to the water boat service for the Grand canal is very close. There is a lot going on around the hotel with great restaurants and little shopping streets.

don't believe them when they advertise WiFi. It was down the whole time we were there and in other reviews I see similar reports. Great breakfast and close to train and bus stations.

This hotel is right infront of the water taxi. If coming from the airport it is best to take a water taxi since taking a bus will require a lot of effort pulling your heavy luggage up the a bridge that does not have a flat surface to pull your luggage . If we only knew we would have paid extra dollar for the taxi....believe me ,it's worth every penny. […] The staff were very nice and the rooms gave me a feeling of "old" Venice. Not smelly or anything like that,just a nice atmosphere. I would stay here again or recommend it to friends .LJ Skaityti daugiau

We had a great experience @ Hotel Boscollo Bellini. Staff was friendly & a pleasure to talk with. Great location. No, excellent location. Near the train station & almost on the Grand Canal. Would go back & stay there anytime. Breakfast was great. Would recommend to all my friends & colleagues.

This was a good stay overall. Turn offs: TV turned off automatically after 15 minutes and it was from the 90's. The front desk missed our wake up call 2 days in a row. They were not just late with the call - it never came on two consecutive days. Everything else was good

Hotel Boscolo Bellini is easy to find (though the hotel name is printed very small on their doors so you have to keep your eyes peeled) and very easy to get to from Piazzale Roma or the train station, which was the deciding factor in booking it. The hotel is an 18th century palace that has been refurbished. The lobby is very impressive with a modern-by-Italian-standards […] look with large Venetian chandeliers. I booked a room with a king bed for 2 people and I suspect that they upgraded us for some reason because we got a fabulous room with a king bed and large bathroom with a staircase leading up to a second room with two twin beds and a second bathroom. The decorum was great: The bathroom had red marble on the floor and walls with a large shower/tub. The room had a large Murano chandelier with matching candelabras on each side of the king size bed. We had a view of the grand canal (not the most scenic part of the canal, but still nice). The wall paper was gold fabric with lovely filligry. Lovely red curtains draped across tall windows. The room had very high ceilings with crown molding. Overall a very opulent, spacious room with antique looking furnishings. The overall effect was a somwhat old-fashioned, authentic Venetian palace feeling. Cons are that it is on a very busy, high traffic road. Although it is very close to the train and bus stations it is on the opposite side of town as San Marco and other important places in Venice, but Venice is small enough of a city to where it isn't a big deal to walk from one end to the other. The hotel is also very close to a vaporetto stop, so if you want to splurge on over priced public transportation, it's easy to hop on. Skaityti daugiau

An excellent position,very close to the station and all water craft right at the front door. Also a great range of quality restaurants and cafes within a short walk.The staff were friendly and very helpful with all requests.The room just a little small, but very comfortable and clean. Overall very happy with our choice.

The location of this hotel is the best thing about it. It is literally right next to the train station, so it was very easy to find when we got in late in the evening. This is especially nice if you have lots of bags with you, since you don't have to pay for a taxi or try to lug your luggage over all the bridges in the city. The other plus was the king […] sized bed (which can be hard to find in Europe). It was a little hard for me, but perfect for my boyfriend. We also enjoyed the breakfast, which included more than just toast and coffee (also hard to find in Europe). Overall, it was a nice hotel that caters to English-speaking tourists. I would definitely recommend it if you can get a good rate. Skaityti daugiau

The location is great. Since Venice is a mess to get around in with luggage, this property is about 100 yards from the train station. The negatives that I saw were the features it stated it had on the website which in fact were not true. They had no internet. They claimed lightning struck their lines and they had 5 companies attempt to fix and it was […] not fixable. The bar area in the pictures is as you see it, except there is never a bartender there. If there was one I would be very suspect that he/she could make the drink properly. There is no fitness center, room service or a restaurant to eat in other than breakfast. For me I would expect these at a five star hotel. Skaityti daugiau

Perfect when cruising and to airport

The location is very good. Just outside the train station. Nice room and clean. The room is a little small but the nice furnishing and cleaniness made up for it.

Hotel location is brilliant, train station and water bus stop on your door stop, breakfast really nice, room beautiful decorated with venetian designs, would stay here again

Worst customer service in my entire Europe trip. Initially they put us in a condemn room. The room did not have any internet and even their phone was not working. After complaining they shifted us to another room. Their customer service specially the receptionist was horrible. In the breakfast they served burned scrambled egg. I recommend please check […] the room before check in. Skaityti daugiau

Great hotel near the train station and right next to water buses. Very clean and comfortable. Most of the staff knew english and were helpful.

outstanding service and really beautiful setting the breakfast was included and huge selection . The staff not only friendly but super helpful . loved it

Room 503 was the smallest room I've ever stayed in (not sure other rooms were much larger), but the killer was the air conditioning was barely putting out cold air and it was 90+ outside! Staff tried to fix a/c (nothing they could do except replace unit) and was kind enough to bring us a fan without our asking, so they get points for that. Cold powdered […] eggs for breakfast were most unappealing. Convenient to train station and vaporettos/water taxis, but I'm sure there are much better places to stay in Venice. Skaityti daugiau

Yes, they have beautiful chandelier in the lobby. Yes, it's conveniently located right next to the train station, in case you need to take the train to another city. But the quality of service, cleanliness, and maintenance is so poor, you will find it more comfortable if you stay in a Motel 6. There was Mold everywhere in the deluxe suite. The curtains […] were grayish and so dusty. The old blue blankets are so dirty (food debris and dust stuck to them) that we had to ask for new ones which never arrived! The room got flooded when it rained overnight, we had to move the bed to stay out of the rain dripping through the roof and GUSHING the window frames. In the morning, the carpet and the (softened up by rain) wall papers were flooded along with our leather sandals! The phone was not working (most rooms), so we could not get a wake up call. Their internet was down! The elevator and the hallways were so dirty, stinking of mold and moisture. Breakfast was OK like most hotels in Italy, except for that the coffee and juices were out of a 7-11 store type of a coffee machine and also there were bowls set on the floor everwhere around the breakfast hall to collect the rain water dripping of the ceiling! Don't let the colorful pictures fool you! The staff and the lady manager is the least interested in their jobs and were not helpful at all. We had stayed at different Boscolo hotels in Venice, Rome, and other Italian cities, but this particular Boscolo hotel was a nightmare comparing the rest. The Boscolo Palace in Rome was clean and beautiful with helpful staff. If you love Motel 6, you will like this hotel. Skaityti daugiau

Excellent location near main train station. Bathroom fixtures need updating. access to all ferry routes at doorstep. reasonable breakfast choices. good place to stay for a night or two.

A spot on the Grand Canal can't be all bad, but.....the elevator has room for two people or one person with a suitcase, no hot water at all on day one and an engineering degree required to get hot water on day two, and as in most of Europe a 20 year old TV with very limited channels (I know, you are in Venice, but I still like to watch the news late […] at night) and the breakfast was the most undercooked and poorly staffed affair I can recall. Small but comfortable room, nice front desk personnel, very good location, clean if dated decor, decent bed. The problems with the water with no notice from the hotel and no resolution until the second day just don't cut it. The rating just doesn't match actuality. Skaityti daugiau

We booked 5 rooms at this hotel for our family who was in Venice to board a cruise ship. We stayed one night before the cruise and one night after. We were very pleased with the location to the water taxi, train station, Piazale Roma, and shopping. The complimentary breakfast was far better than any continental breakfast in the US.

This place was a wonderful place to center our visit to Venice. Two down sides, water on the floor at times (it IS Venice) and no Internet as advertised. Otherwise this hotel has everything from a great breakfast to beautiful, well-maintained rooms. And LARGE! These rooms set the standard for 4 star quality, and probably surpase some 5 star!

Very close to the train station, far from the tourist area but we walked to them with no problem. We had an executive room on the 5 floor. Was beautiful. BIG bathroom.The vaporreto station in from of the hotel, very convenient. Free internet. I will recommend this hotel.

Hotel Bellini is conveniently located adjacent to train station and Vaporetto stop on the Grand Canal as well as within walking distance of Piazza Roma. The room we had was clean and had a very modern bathroom. Highly recommemded for staying before or after a cruise out of Venice
