Hotel Belle Arti

I was worried by other reviews, especially about breakfast. But the hotel was in a great location, breakfast had good options and was run by some strict Italian grandmas who kept people moving. The TV had audio but no visual for some reason and the shower door handle was broken but apart from that the bed was comfortable and the room had a nice size. Would have liked a wardrobe door so I don't have to see my clothes. The location was amazing, walkable to anywhere in Venice and 30 seconds from a ferry stop. It felt close enough to the action but far enough from the tourist traps. The luggage room didn't feel very secure but it did the job. The staff, especially the maid were helpful and friendly. The hotel is around the corner from some great chichetti places. I would stay here again. My only small complaint is I wish there was a mosquito curtain for the window.

It was very easy to communicate my needs to the hotel (I have chemical sensitivity and have to avoid cleaning chemicals and fragranced detergents and sprays), and they met my needs well. When I booked the room I didn't pay much attention to the fact that breakfast was included, but it was surely noteworthy - many choices that included fresh fruit salad, yogurt, eggs, potatoes, and carrots, croissants, meats & cheeses, muffins and cakes, a selection of cereals, and much much more, including water, juices, espresso, cappuccino, coffee and tea. It was a great way to start our two days of sightseeing. The staff was also very helpful in storing my luggage in their storage room for four extra hours the day we were leaving. We hope to return to Italy next year with our adult kids, and will happily stay at this same hotel when we visit Venice again.

My room was very comfortable, cosy & with a view over the courtyard garden. The hotel is in a great position, close to bars & restaurants, not too far from popular attraction but away from the busiest areas. A great breakfast is included in the room tariff which was a real plus.

Excellent location for access to main attractions. The garden and outdoor veranda is also a bonus in Venice. The staff were helpful, friendly and efficient. The bedrooms have been recently renovated. The public areas have lots of Venetian character though some may think the decor is dated.

Great location just a short walk after getting off the ferry from the airport at Zattere. 1 minute walk to Accademia Bridge. Staff were very friendly and helpful, helped with directions and got us extra pillows. Breakfast was good, plenty of choice and the staff were very attentive.
