Venetsia hotellit Giudecca

Plussat: The staff were so lovely and also very helpful

Plussat: Friendly staff. Decent breakfast. Quite area

Miinukset: Everything was decent , nothing to complain about

Plussat: Close to Palanca boat station Friendly staff Clean rooms Nice atmosphere

Miinukset: It could have more variety on Breakfast, such as some eggs and proper coffee instead of the Nescafé

Plussat: Rauhallinen sijainti ja hotelli, vastaanotto auki 24 h, joka päivä tuli puhtaat pyyhkeet.

Miinukset: Aamupalalla oli paljon makeita vaihtoehtoja mutta suolaista oli aika niukasti.

Plussat: I enjoyed the location, and the staff was very accommodating. The room was spotlessly clean and (with the exception of the night and morning noises from the adjacent room's toilet) it was very quiet and peaceful. The window has a wonderful view of the canal. I was warned that Giudecca (the island) was not a good place to stay because it takes so long to travel to Venice, but that's simply not true. I never had to wait for more than five minutes for a trip to Venice. I should also mention that the price of a room at the Hotel Giudecca was substantially lower than rooms on Venice. The island itself is quieter and calmer. The hotel's breakfast was very good and the service was excellent.

Miinukset: Wifi only works in the lobby. What traveler wants to be limited to that tiny area? Who wants to conduct private business like banking online while surrounded by strangers? It's an unsafe and inconvenient practice. And even there the reception for the wifi was spotty. I would suggest better wifi for the modern traveler. This might be a cost-prohibitive "fix" to make, but if-- like I do-- you have business to transact online while on vacation, you'll want better connectivity to the internet. My single room was organized so that the head of my bed was up against a wall with a door to the next room, and it was pretty clear that right on the other side was a bathroom as I could hear the occupant's "rituals." In spite of these issues, though, the hotel is an excellent value.

Plussat: The staff are absolutely amazing . So welcoming and knowledgeable. They did everything to make us feel comfortable and happy. I asked for two camomile teabags for my stomach and they sent me about 10 different tea bags !

Miinukset: We didn’t know that Giudecca was an island different than where all the central things are. Nonetheless there were water taxis that take 15 minutes to go to the central bit which is good .

Plussat: Nice and welcoming staff. Quiet room.

Miinukset: The corridor was smelly during our stay (The smell disappeared when we were checking out) Very limited space for taking shower and the water temperature seemed to be difficult to control. Will appreciate if more toilet paper was provided.

Plussat: Wooden beams in the room made it very homely. Guidecca is easy to get to from the main island and away from the hustle and bustle. also there is a very nice restaurant on the way to the Palanca vaporetto stop. The staff are very nice there.

Plussat: The Hotel was great! Nice design, welcoming personell, excellent brekfast!

Plussat: location

Miinukset: cold

Plussat: Excellent location in a residential neighbourhood, very quiet, yet very close to the main islands of Venice - close to the vaporetto stop which will take you to San Marco Square in less than 10 minutes. Clean rooms of decent size, staff are very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Breakfast is minimal

Plussat: Position and staff

Miinukset: Would have liked free wifi in the rooms as well as lobby.

Plussat: good price quality ratio, nice and quiet away from the crowd, yet still close to Venice itself. Good breakfast service, very friendly and helpful staff. Nice room with view on canal. Close to ferry to bring you to Venice

Miinukset: Shower was rather tiny. Ceiling of lobby was very low so when you're tall you cannot walk straight up.

Plussat: feel at home

Plussat: fair price and comfortable facilities

Plussat: Dispite previous reviews, I emailed the Hotel and was given the easiest directions to follow, perhaps others should have tried this. Breakfast was good, always topped up, great mini bar at fanastic prices, room was fabulously clean and well maintained, staff were both helpful and informative,even to the point of booking restaurants (a must for the most popular), even on departure, due to an early start the night porter made tea and coffee before we left. You may read other reviews slating the TV channels, IE no english channels, but if you are intending staying in your room in Venice to watch the TV, then stay at home, because you are wasting your money. If you are concerned about the location, as I was, don't be, its only 4 stops from St Marcs, and 25 mins from Pizza de Roma and surrounded by 3 or 4 great value resturants. Highly recommended. Would I stay there again??? Most definitely!!!!!

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing to complain about, fabulous from start to finish.

Plussat: The helpfulness of staff, buffet breakfast.

Miinukset: I didn't like the way their internet was set up.

Plussat: Very friendly and supportive staff. Good coffee (Espresso) for just 1€ which you can enjoy on the bench in front of the hostel from which you have a stunning view of Venice. If you want to have a great time in Venice and don't want to spend a fortune, Generator is the best option :)

Miinukset: Bathroom could have been cleaner but as you share the room, you'll have to deal with your roommates ;)

Plussat: Useita aamiaisvaihtoehtoja. Sijainti on hyvä. Mukava ja avulias henkilökunta. Rento tunnelma

Miinukset: Pesukoneiden kanssa ongelmia ja koneita liian vähän.

Plussat: Big gorgeous rooms, kept impeccably clean and with individual bed lights and outlets. The common room/bar/restaurant was a great place to hang out, which meant the rooms stayed quiet too.

Plussat: Sijainti oli hyvä & sänky oli mukava.

Miinukset: Suihkut & ilmastointilaite olivat todella likaisia.

Plussat: Aamiaisbuffet oli monipuolinen. Kaikkea oli saatavilla.

Plussat: Bed, room, and service

Miinukset: Food and water expensive

Plussat: As this is my first time visiting Venice, I enjoyed that I could reach the hostel by using the boat! There are frequent connections between the island where the hostel is located (Giudecca) and St. Marco square. There couldn't be any better solution as far as the location is concerned in comparison with the price.

Miinukset: add towels for free!

Plussat: The location is good.

Miinukset: There's a bar on site that also sells some typical snacks. Because of this there's a no food from outside policy. There's no common area exclusive for guests, and no kitchen. A hostel is more than just dormbeds, this is just a commercial good looking hotel with shared beds where you have to pay for everything, even towels. Staff was not unfriendly, but very unpersonal. They were uninformed, amateuristic and not really welcoming or accommodating. Not all of them speak basic English. They were just hanging out with their visiting Italian friends. It's hard to figure out who the staff is, because they don't wear any t-shirt or uniform that identifies them. Bathroom: wasn't cleaned in the 4 days I spend there. There was sand (from the Lido I assume) in the sink. It stayed there the entire time. there are no clothing hooks, there's no soap or shampoo in the shower. Room: no clothing hooks Common area is shared with bar visitors. EDIT AFTER RESPONSE FROM GENERATOR: A long response from Generator to mostly agree with what I said. There is no common area exlusive for guest, there is no kitchen, there is nowhere to eat your own food as a guest. Generator acknowledges you have to pay extra for towels, soap etc. So indeed, as a guest you just get the basics. However, this response from GENERATOR also invalidated my experiences. First, they claim they clean 2/day.Yes, I can only hope so, but I did not imagine the sand in the sink in the shared bathroom. Generator says in their response all staff can speak English. Did I imagine the lady who handed me a coffee in the morning saying "I don't understand, I don't speak English"? Because she took my order, made the coffee and was standing behind the counter, I identified this person as staff. I don't appreciate a gaslighting comment from a hotel, these were my experiences, and this is what MY review is about.

Plussat: Star hostel San Siro,

Miinukset: Not a hostel, smelly basement, dirty beds,miss behave of honor and manager,

Plussat: Good hotel, far from the attraction but there are shuttle for the other side where the attractions are. The shuttle every 30 mins until midnight

Miinukset: The staff are professional but rude somtimes.

Plussat: A 5 minute free shuttle ride across from Piazza San Marco to an utterly relaxing retreat in Venice. The service and staff are second to none.

Plussat: Almost everything. The room was beautiful, across a small garden. The staff was very accommodating. The gardens were a particularly nice touch.

Miinukset: One major gripe: internet access (important, as this was a business trip) was very poor. Connections dropped constantly, and otherwise ran remarkably slowly. The only other gripe is very minor: as the hotel is in Giudecca, it's a bit of a "trip" to get to the main island. On the other hand, that's how it has the beautiful gardens and how it's not surrounded by crowds all the time...

Plussat: The locaiton was away from the hussle and bussle of Venice but only a short boat ride away. The hotel's garden makes it feel like you are worlds away from a busy metropolis.

Miinukset: The walls were paper thin - we could hear our neighbors early in the morning watching television.

Plussat: Awesome staff. Great breakfast. Good cocktails!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: Lighting in the room was very poor. One could not read. The customer service was terrible

Plussat: The best personal service I have ever encountered -wonderfully helpful staff

Miinukset: No

Plussat: The Garden view

Miinukset: The room service should be avaliable until the mid night

Plussat: Great location on an island opposite St Mark's Square (free shuttle to St Mark's Square takes 2 min), very quiet yet an ideal starting point for walks in the city or trips to other islands, great views, rooms very clean and in excellent condition, very attentive staff, charming garden

Plussat: The hotel was clean and beautiful. The staff was very friendly and knowledgable of their town so they could tell us the best places to go. We had dinner 1 night in the hotel dining room and it ws one of the best meals we had on our trip. Our stay was totally enjoyable.

Plussat: Friendly & Helpfully Staff.Hotel Building with a difference. The Gardens & Peace & Quiet Good transport links & so close to all the amenities. Private boat across the Canal

Miinukset: Some of the Carpets appeared old and sad. On arrival from the Airport not be able to find the gate to the private boat at the sister Baur Hotel. Had to go by water bus which went all around the canal before recching the opposite bank.

Plussat: Breakfast was excellent.The courtesy boat to and from Venice was a great bonus.Staff were very pleasant and helpful

Plussat: The breakfast was wonderful and the service was very personal - the concierge personally showed us up to our room, which made us feel like we were the only ones staying the hotel. The service was also very prompt - we left the room in the evening for 5 minutes and came back to find our bed already turned down for us. The location was excellent, too. Although you must get on the vaporetto to reach tourist attractions, the island of Giudecca is so quiet and peaceful - it is well worth hopping on the vaporetto a few stops - plus the station is literally right in front of the hotel.

Plussat: The architecture and the friendly staff

Miinukset: The spa seems to be a myth. Dont go on the hotel organised tour of glass 'factory' at Murano, instead visit yourself with 42 public boat.

Plussat: Location (quiet away from the tourist throng), large room (we booked a suite) and the view across to the Piazza San Marco. The hotel run a free shuttle which runs between the Palladio and the Palazzo Bauer Hotel.

Miinukset: Price. Then again, Venice is expensive all round.
