Albergo Basilea

Location!!! Very close to train station, easy access to restaurants and transportation . Friendly staff, felt safe.

Although the room seemed clean we found tiny bugs on all comforters and sheets on all 3 beds. Mattresses seemed ok but since sheets were sparkling white it was easy to spot them. Wonder if they were termites because all the wood beams had holes. Not sure if this is typical for the area. We just didn’t use comforters.

The hotel is near Venezia S.L train station although you'll be passing over 3 bridges. There is also a grocery store just a stone throw away from the hotel. Also, Piazzale Roma, where the airport bus transfer, is just a 9 to 10-minute walk from the hotel. Very convenient! The two receptionists were also nice and helpful! They even let us borrow a plug adapter since I brought a different adapter for my phone charger. There is no breakfast in the hotel which we did not mind since we are aware of this before booking. There are a lot of restaurants around the hotel anyway. The AC unit in the room is thermoregulated. It maintains the room temp at 22 to 23 degrees Celsius, it is comfortable even it was around 35 to 39 degrees Celsius outside. The water pressure in the toilet is also good. We were in a 5-bed room in the ground floor which is convenient for us. For the cleanliness, they maintain it well. They cleaned our room when we were outside. There are also bed coverings to keep the white linens clean.

I recommend putting wall hooks in the bathroom to hang towels and clothes while taking a shower. Also a wall organizer or a floating shelf inside the shower, where we could place our shampoo, soap and other bathroom paraphernalia. Also, to re paint the part of the walls in the toilet that has fallen off. Or insulate or cure that part of the wall to prevent the paint from falling off.

Very good location, close to station or where the drop off. Saved me a bit of dragging my luggage further.

Nothing. 🤭well maybe the bed cover(looks ghastly) but it’s just a bed cover 🤣

perfect location. It was easie to get from the airport (tickets cheaper buy in bus just near the airport exit, not inside the airport). Was difficalt to find hotel with google maps. But guys from hotel send me understandble map. It is just 5-10 min walking from bus. Lovely lokation. It is center, but not a million people around. We spend many fubules hours walking around. Hope to come back. Wifi was good enough. view perfect. Without breakfast, but near the hotel you can find a supermarket, cafe, pizza.

was unexpected for me to pay a city fie plus to the price. Not sure how much, 10% ish.

Perfect for our 2-night stay. It’s Very close to the train. It is a 7-10 min walk, depending on whether you walk fast or not, and don’t get lost. Cell service in Venice was spotty. To be fair, you can hire a porter for 10 euros a bag, but I believe they stop at 7 pm. The coffee machine in the lobby was great. They provide room service daily. There's a supermarket across the canal. San Marco is a decent walk, 20 minutes or more, but we didn't mind walking. Pictures of rooms look old, but the city is old and matches the style. The beds were comfortable, and the rooms were very clean.

Proximity to train station

Greatly located as it’s not far from the train and bus station. The staff was super nice and helpful. The room is a bit small but I knew about that, and it compensates in being nicely decorated. It’s overall quite clean; the bed was fine; the shower is not great but not that bad either (the hot water takes it sweet time to come and the pressure is just fine; I like a little bit more pressure but it was ok)

It was a bit noisy in the morning, Venice wakes up early with boats and people in the street and bell ringing at 8am. Not really the fault of the hotel, but better windows could do the trick. But don’t let that ruins your stay, the place is nice enough and there was nothing that a could pair or eat plug could handle!

The room was very nice. Furniture was very good. Bathroom was brand new and immaculate in terms of cleanliness and equipment to the finest details. Both receptionists were very nice and helpful. I could wait in the lobby until the room was ready since I arrived earlier, got all instructions from both receptionists that I spoke to. Wi-Fi was very good, hotel was clean and very beautiful from the inside and outside. Very good location. It is close to, and fairly easy to find this hotel from Piazzale Roma, where you have buses to the airport and other parts of Venice. Also, People Mover is very close as well. Highly recommended. I stayed on 14.6.2023.

My room and the room next door did not have the best sound isolation between each other. Everything else was very good.

The acomodation is placed in a great neighborhood, clean and peaceful. If you like to walk half of hour and explore Venice streets, Italian way of living, this is great place for adventure path to the city center. People who work at the property are always smiled and polite.

The furnirure seems old, and in the hallways had some strainge old smell. Also, during our stay they took AC remote because of ending warm weather, even tho we used AC for heating. The solution of our misundarstandig was electrical heater, which saved us.

The location is great given the proximity to the station and water taxi's. We wandered the streets of Venice for much of the day. Hotel staff (24 hour availability) are very helpful with anything that we needed whether it be information or some utensils for food that we had bought. We stayed one night arriving early before exploring Venice and leaving early the next day. We did not spend much time at the hotel itself, but it met our needs as we didn't have to drag our luggage across Venice to get to our hotel; it was clean and the hospitality was excellent. I would recommend the hotel and would stay again if coming to Venice.

The view from our room was wonderful, as we were able to see the gondolas passing by. The Venetian decoration of the room was spectacular! The location was great, close to places to eat and nice spots for taking l’aperitivo, even a supermarket nearby. The staff provided good attention. What a beauty, my dream come true!

Areas for improvement: The bathroom could have a shower instead of or in addition to the bathtub. The beds could be more comfortable while maintaining their Venetian style; perhaps by changing the mattresses to new and comfortable ones. Regarding the hotel's location, it is very good. However, due to Venice's unique layout, it could have better signage on Google Maps, as it can be difficult to find the hotel.
