Hotel San Zulian, Venice

I was at Hotel San Zulian for two nights. I enjoyed it very much. The location is excellent, the value was outstanding. The attached restaurant severed good food at reasonable prices. I will stay there again if I am in Venice.

Our room was separated to where we checked in.it was dark,wet,dirty and stinky on the way to our room.The water heater is not working so we called for a servce and they responded right away and fixed but then it only works for a meantime and it didnt work again.the room and toilet are clean but the bowl stinks every after flush.The location is close to the foods and shops but it is hard to locate for first time.The staffs in dinning for breakfast is so friendly though unlike the people in reception area.

Hotel is in a good location, between San Marco and the Rialto. It takes about 45-50 minutes to get there on foot from the train station. You could take a vaporetto to the Rialto and save some walking. My reception was curt but efficient. The room was in an alternative site not far from the hotel, overlooking a narrow and quiet alley. Not much of a view but okay for the price I paid. The room itself was clean, the bed was fairly comfortable, and the bathroom functioned fine. However, it was a bit dark with the lack of sun and not too much light. For electrical outlets, best to bring adapters for Mediterranean countries (narrower prongs) since my northern European adapters were too think to work in all but one outlet. Included breakfast was fairly substantial with a nice hostess. The wi-fi worked quite well.

Good area to get around nice safe the room we were in was difficult to get to everytime when coming back to your room you had to go up an elevator down a flight of stairs then up a flight of stairs.not recommended for older people. The staff was nice. The rooms were also cold. Also a safe in the room for valuables was not bolted to anything

Overall, not bad. The hotel is very small and we had to take multiple stairs and elevators to get to our room. The booking was for Hotel San Zulian, but they put us at a partner hotel which was still ok. But, we would have preferred to know about the change of location before rather than when we arrived there ready to check in. The breakfast was very good with fresh, cold and hot options. The front desk is not very helpful with questions regarding local restaurants and information. Would still recommend staying there due to location and good breakfast (right behind San Mark's square)!
