Venice is expensive - full stop. This hotel was at the cheaper end of the range and cost £128 per night including breakfast for a double room. Looking at other hotels I think this ir reasonably good value. Don't forget that you must add 12 Euros per head - local tax (for 4 nights). The hotel fronts on to a... More

Stayed for 3 nites. The location was very good interms of near the train station but very far from St MArks square. Hotel is nice, spacious room and very quaint bathroom.Only thing 1st floor room may be abit noisy as it is overlooking a main street. NO hot water in room. If hotel supply hot water in a flask would... More

Great position only 5 mins walk to Bus and train stations and it has a lift!! Room was good size and clean. Breakfast reasonable - although not up to the standard of the cruise we had just been on! Nice lounge downstairs and quiet canalside setting. Good base to explore the whole of Venice island and beyond. More

My friend and I had the opportunity to stay in Hotel Gardena in September 2011. What a charming place! The staff was very friendly and helpful, rooms were neat and clean. I would stay here again anytime! It was very near the bus station and easy to get to. More

We stayed in 3 star hotels the whole time we were in Italy and this place definitely did not measure up. It is a 1.5 star at best. The place is pretty outdated and just doesn't give you a welcomed feeling. The room appeared fairly clean but the carpet looked pretty old. I know smell is an issue throughout Venice... More

We chose the Gardena due to it's proximity to the bus station. Unlike many hotels in Venice, it was easy to find and only 2 small bridges from bus station (1 large from train). We arrived by cruise ship and caught the vappreto to the hotel; you can buy tickets for 6euros onboard the boats. We had a room overlooking... More

Stayed at the Gardena the end of August for one night before a cruise, fantastic location, ideal for train or bus, the weather was very hot so it was a blessing that we did'nt have to haul our bags over lots of bridges, just one actually. The hotel is very clean with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. Breakfast was really... More

We stayed in the Hotel Gardena in February of this year. It was a very pleasant, bit jaded but the rooms were very clean and the linen was changed daily. It was in a brilliant position if arriving by bus or vaporetto from either airport and in a great location for getting about. As it's not as close to St... More

There wasn't anything wrong with this hotel, but nothing amazing! I travelled here with my best friend in August, and had requested a twin room when booking (through jet2 holidays). We arrived at about 12 (when we were supposed to be able to check in) and were told we had a queen room, so asked for a twin - was... More
