Casa Sant'Andrea

This lodging was adequate. Room 211 was quiet and definitely clean, but spartan: white walls, no decoration, no view, no comfy chair, a minimally comfortable bed, and so-so air conditioning. Bathroom was large. Wifi worked well. The elevator was too slow to use regularly, but allowed us to get luggage up two floors when we arrived, and back down 3 days later. Breakfast was OK: coffee, a couple kinds of sweet cake/rolls, croissants, crackers, jams, sliced ham and cheese, hard boiled eggs, coffee. We chose Casa Sant'Andrea for the location (close to the bus and train stations, to the people-mover from the cruise ship terminal to Pizarralle Roma, and right in front of the P. Roma vaporetto stop) and it was as convenient as we expected. The front desk staff spoke English well and did a nice job advising us on which vaporetto routes to use, which bus to take to the airport, and walking routes to places they suggested we visit. In short, we were disappointed that In such a charming and romantic city, we had chosen such a spartan location. Next time we'd chose a more expensive but more memorable room.

Location, location, location. The place was not fancy but the location was great. One complain is the elevator very slow and small. It is used for luggage. I did not remember if it was big enough for a wheelchair. You can take your luggage to the cruise. You do not even have to use the People Mover. It’s a waste of money when you used the People Mover. At the corner is a grocery store. The vaporetta is right around the corner. You can take the Express bus ATVO from the Marco Polo airport to the Piazza Roma and the hotel is about a block from there. We got the 3-day vaporetta and bus ticket for 40 Euros. We use the tickets to go to Murano, Burano, and around Venice. For young adults (under 29), the 3-day ticket costs 28 Euros. The Burano Island (specialty in laces) is beautiful with canals and colorful houses. It is more quiet than Venice. Overall, we had a great stay in Venice.

My husband and I were very happy with this hotel. Clean, great price and 24 hour front desk friendly staff. It does have a shared bathroom per floor but we never even saw anyone on our floor so it felt as if it was just ours during our stay. Walking distance from cruise terminal, very close to main bridge and water taxi service and was located in a super easy to get to (and find) location versus some of the other hotels inside the maze like streets of Venice.

It is room is very clean, service is excellent. Also it is good location. The ferry is right in the front of the hotel.

Extremely uncomfortable beds. Will not recommend this to anyone. Terrible breakfast.
