Those in search of Venetian tradition, hospitality and a genuine hotelier's pride in ensuring guests truly experience the best of Venice, are warmly invited to the excellently located, family owned and managed, 1-star Minerva Hotel.

We are first time visitors to Venice both had a lovely time what a beautiful place. We stayed in room 6 across from actual hotel. Pros Hotel is within walking distance from train/bus/boats on arrival. A small 10 min walk or so. Shower was warm and powerful. Room and bathroom was clean and tidy Was provided with toiletries (however had brought or own) WiFi worked fine in the room. Bed was tidied each morning and clean towels provided if required. Staff were polite and overall nice. Cons Could not control air conditioning (no remote) also could not turn this off by the use of a chair and button?? (This needs sorted as the room was far too hot at night). Breakfast was pretty poor. Was provided with cheese and cold meat. Juice, cereal break. Cold boiled eggs and fluid. (However that’s just our opinion). Room was slightly dated and could maybe do with a new sofa and fresh lick of paint. (But no big concern). Our room consisted of two VERY small windows up the very top of the wall - now we are at the back of the building so in the event of a fire we would have no where to escape?? ( these small windows were behind curtains that covered the whole wall we were expecting to have some sort of a view not feel like we were in a prison). The next morning the gentleman behind the desk did ask if we wanted to change our room from a double to a joint single room. (However we refused as we are obviously two woman in a relationship with each other 🙄 so we stuck to being able to sleep in the same bed together). However regardless of the cons my partner said she would happily stay there again. Not all bad. Overall we were happy with the accommodation.

It's not a premium class hotel as you can see, but we knew about that. Generally it wasn't that bad. UNTIL BEDBUGS bite us! I have seen that bugs in our hotel room twice but I didn't knew whats that.. I thought that it's just an insect so i didn't care about that. UNTIL we got the rash. (by the way bed bugs are activ mainly at night and i saw it in daylight, early in the morning so i don't really wanna know how much of that is there). We've got bites everywhere and probably bugs are also in our house now!!! I sent them an e-mail with photos but apparently they don't care about that because i didn't get any answear. You should avoid this place!!!!

The Minerva hotel had been recommended to me by a friend. It is located in the Canareggio region, easily accessible from Marco Polo airport. Take the AliLaguna boat from the airport, then second stop Guglie, from there on you only have to walk five minutes to the hotel (their website explains how to get there). It's a small budget hotel that offers rooms at a decent price. Continental breakfast included. Ask for a room at the back, it's much more quiet then at the front. Friendly multilingual staff. Rooms and bathroom are ok, not very big but everything is adequate. We paid 50€ pp./night and found that ok. I will certainly return there for my next trip to La Serenissima.

I stayed at the hotel for 5 nights. It was not very expensive, so you should not expect much. Was very old, so very very loud!!! The only disappointing matter was when I asked reception many times not to clean my room as I had ordered my stuff. But they didn't listen to what I had asked and entered my room 5 times and changed my stuff, which was really annoying. The breakfast was very poor but as it had coffee, was enough for me.

Me and my partner stayed in a basic room with no air-conditioning or en-suite. You can pay £10 each to upgrade to air-con/en-suite on arrival. Pro's- Amazing location near the train station and lots of resturants and shops. Good value for money, if luxury is not important to you and you just need basic needs met. A lot of reviews say the staff are rude however they were perfectly nice to us, but don't expect them to be really friendly (except one of the guys who lended us a cork screw, and helped us to open our champagne, who was very upbeat and friendly). Also had no problems with the wifi. Con's- The furniture/bed etc is quite average and kind of worn out/old. The corridors do smell like smoke. Advice would be to upgrade to an air-conditioned room if staying in the warmer months. Our check-out was at 11am and flights were at 8pm, so we were allowed to leave our bags at the reception, and use the toilets/showers which was nice. For the price you pay you can't expect an amazing service or anything more than a basic room. We were both perfectly happy with our stay.
