Hotel Ariel Silva - Venice

The hotel has very good location and is very clean. The staff were helpful. If you have luck with your room, the hotel would be great.

The noise! At our arrival we were placed into a room with direct access from walk alley, separating wall was a frosted glass with curtain. We complained about it and got moved into room directly next to reception with tv on till midnight and window leading into breakfast garden.

I stayed at the appartments 10 min from the Hotel. Location was much better than of the hotel itself. It was clean. Great location close to good cheap places to eat.

Too much noise from the streets in the morning.

everything is fine, but the hotel location is not easy to find, which is behind a very narrow street.

was the cheapest hotel on the island, very basic but pleasant and would definately recommend

breakfast croissant and coffee, could have been a littlr more considering price paid

excellent staff, ideal location , quiet with good restaurants nearby

room number 9 a bit small

Most of the staff were pleasant and helpful. Everything was clean and tidy.

I was cold in my bed. The blanket provided was too thin and had to be supplemented by two others.

The staff was very friendly, and the hotel was pretty close to the bus station. The entrance is in a small alleyway. Don't let that throw you off, though, it's perfectly respectable.

The breakfast was small, though they willingly brought more food. Our room also had one wall facing the alleyway which was noisy one morning due to trucks. Fortunately, we were awake anyway.

The location was fantastic. We have stayed here before 11 years ago and its still a wonderful place.

A friendly, comfortable environment. Our triple room was large, bright and clean. This value for money hotel was totally adequate for our two night stay in Venice.

It wasn't easy to locate!!

the receptionist was friendly, the hotel is a 10 minutes walk away from the parking

The room is too small, the shower is too small, the neighbourhood is not very pretty, the breakfast was a joke: 1 hot drink, 1 croissant and some bread and jam. It is very noisy, we didn't sleep at all because people kept coming and going at different hours and we heard the doors banging all night long; we could hear people chatting and laughing in the other rooms as if they were standing 2 feet from us.

The room decor and heating was quite good.

The shared bathroom was very narrow and small without handwash and hair dryer. It seemed there was only one bathroom on the floor hence it was almost always occupied and that created a problem in the morning. Very little choice for breakfast - only hot drink, croissant and hard biscuits. The hotel is located in a narrow lane and quite difficult to locate at night.

The location, the staff

Rooms smelt badly and the shared bathroom was inadequate

Good location, close to the train station. The room was clean, air-conditioning was ok, everything was as described in the webside.

the location is great, you are right near a main street, with supermarket, shops, bars, restaurants etc. Hotel staff were friendly.

the address you are given is not where the hotel is. this is just for check in. it's probably another 5-10min walk after that to get to the hotel. with heavy luggage on a hot day, not so great. however it does get you that little bit closer to the main sights of Venice which is good. the room is quite noisy- air con is noisy, street is noisy, people sharing your bathroom may be noisy, but in general Venice is very expensive and this is a good option if you want to save money.

When we got there, the two apartments we had originally booked were far away from each other so they graciously put both families in one apartment meant for 12! We fit well. The air conditioning worked well, it had easy access to the water taxi, it was within walking distance from the original hotel and train station. The kitchen was handy as breakfast was not provided away from the original building. The one staff member was particularily helpful, however, when asked about a restaurant recommendation, they could not tell us anything. There were plenty around.

There was a horrific odor against the wall and under the bed in the kitchen area. You could only smell it if you were laying in bed. It was far enough away from everything/everyone else that it was not an issue but it made that bed impossible to sleep in. Never did find out what it was, didn't want to get too close, it was potent. It was also located directly behind a McDonalds so you could hear discussion and bells from the restaurant. We were out late so it didn't effect our sleep but in the morning, it was an issue as they showed up early for prep and passing materials in the alley to prepare was noisy.
