| Great little hotel. Located near train and bus depot but far enough to be in a nice area (Jewish quarter). Small but well designed and furnished room especially the bathroom. On a great relatively non touristy italian street and good value for money. Highly recommeded. |

| Though there is indicated in the website: free internet access, there is no possibility. The beds (we had 2 rooms ) are catastrophically for older persons.because one is forced to lie in the middle of the bed (useful for young people in love). |

| Antonio was a wonderful host--provided lots of information about Venice, things to do, places to eat, etc. Location was somewhat difficult to find, and door was down a narrow alley. Accomodations were adequate, but nothing to get excited about. |

| A lovely place to stay for a short break - within easy walking distance of everything and outside of the really pricey areas, but still in Venice itself. Bathroom was pretty small, but everything was fine for our 3 day stay and the friendlness of the staff was much appreciated. In a really nice street with some good deli's for bread, cheese. ham and gelatos and also close to the main train station. Thoroughly recommended for a short break in Venice. |

| Easily accessible from the train station with our luggage. Room was spacious and clean, new bathroom fixtures. Nice breakfast. We were able to drop off our luggage before the room was available. Flight of stairs to the reception and breakfast rooms. Would definitely stay here again in the future! |

| This is a great place to spend your time in Venice! Antonio was an excellent host. He recommended a great restaurant for dinner and various sites to see during our short stay. We had bread, cheese, olives, and vino each afternoon on the balcony while listening to the sounds of Venice on the street below. We highly recommend Alle Guglie B&B for your stay in Venizia! |

| The hotel provided all our needs for our two nights in Venice. Staff could not have been more helpful. Our room was rather small, but you have to expect that in Venice. It seemed reasonably expensive, but we realise that for Venice, it was quite well priced. The hotel was very quiet, or at least our room at the back was, though from the breakfast room facing the street, it was also quiet. |

| One of the better places we stayed during our travels. Host is very nice and ready to help whenever needed. Unit is three flights up a narrow staircase (44 steps) with no elevator. Unit is cozy and there is both a private balcony off the room and a shared balcony off the main hall. Excellent location a short walk from the train station on the "main drag" towards San Marcos Square. A good breakfast served either in the kitchen or on the balcony. Highly recommended. |

| Fantstic little hotel. The staff on reception were friendly and helpful. The room was spotlessly clean, though a bit small. The breakfast was basic but plenty of it. Excellent value for money.The location was great, just a 2minute walk around the corner from the water bus stop, and less than a 10 minute walk from the train station. I would reccomend this hotel, and i will use it again. |

| We were very dissappointed in this hotel. Having stayed at hotels all through Europe, this was the most overpriced. The room had patchy repairs, no information about the hotel services or local area and a tiny dreary bathroom. |

| The Hotel Alle Guglie was the perfect place for being in the middle of the hustle & bustle of Venice. Our room had a great view of the main street (but it was noisy early in the morning since the market was just outside our window). The room was charming and had the basic necessities for a place to sleep since you really spend your day out & about anyway. The only complaint we have is that when we wanted to shorten our stay (so that we could take an excursion to Rome - 5 days was too long for Venice), they would not allow us to check-out early without having to pay the full amount of our original stay. They kept saying we had to talk to venere.com and venere.com said the cancellation without financial penalty was at the hotel's discretion - so basically, no one would help us. So, we ended up going into Padova and exploring the local mainland cities instead. Bottom line: 3 days was enough for discovering Venice. Any longer and you'd get island fever...use the rest of your week to travel to other Italian cities. Also, free internet access is NOT included per the description on venere.com. The internet point is a shop down the street which charges you the usual for internet access. |

| Many of the rooms were light and spacious, ours (number 28) was dark pokey and disappointing. Everything else about Alle Guglie was exactly what we needed. A lighter front room would have made our stay perfect. The ensuite was good and the location lively. Number of steps a slight problem but staff helped carry luggage. |

| The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was very convenient and close to the St. Lucia train station, we were able to walk in about 5 min. The directions were very easy. There was good shopping and restaurants right outside, also a fresh fruit/vegetable market set up each morning just outside which was nice. We had a quiet room not facing the street. However, there was no elevator and we were on the fifth floor, but we were aware of it and it was not a big problem, would be worse for older people. The room was very clean and air conditioned. Although the shower was a bit tiny, it was clean. The daily breakfast was was good. We were only there for 2 nights and it was very enjoyable and we would definitely stay at the Alle Guglie again. |

| staff could not be nicer!! neighborhood is great and this is about a 5 minute walk from the train station- which we did with all our luggage- no problem! one thing- if you are old, be aware that there is no elevator- our room was a 5th floor walk up. |

| The hotel is situated 7-8 minutes walking from the Pza di Roma that is the arrival place of the bus from the airport or 4 minutes from the train station. The hotel staff were very nice and helped us very politeness. The room was very clean and comfortable, a little bit small but that's Venice. There is no buffet for the breakfast but you have enought things on your table and the capuccino served it's excellent. The waiter is also very nice and gentle. The situation is very good for making a walk to San Marcos by seeing all the city (40 min slow walking). There is also a close boat (vaporetto) stop next to the hotel. The price (90€ per night/two persons) was excellent regarding the quality. There are a lot of restaurants and bars around the hotel and just in front of the door there is daily a fruit & vegetables market opened until 20:00. The only complaint that I had was that the room was next to the breakfast kitchen so near 7:00 am they start to make noise with the preparations, but that's only a little detail. I really recommend that hotel for a visit to Venice. |
