Stayed at this hotel (booked through a French online agency) for 4 nights in August. Overall, it did give us a roof and a bed for 4 nights. The location of the hotel, of course, is hardly beatable, just minutes from St Mark square. The room was quite big, and nicely decorated. Cleanliness was just passable - the sheets and... more

The hotel itself would have been acceptable for its price due to its convinient location with easy access to either the Rialto Bridge or the San Macro Square. The rooms have an antique type theme, no AC (supplied with a fan though), surprisingly clean and modern bathroom for a budget hotel. Personally I liked the washroom, however I am of... more

The Alcyone is a 2* Superior rating, and just about makes the grade. It is functional, clean and welcoming, but very much no-frills. The rooms are bijou and basic, and - in our case - VERY high up (53 stairs high, actually)... but they were tidied daily, with new bedding and fresh towels, plus there's a decent enough en-suite bathroom,... more

This was the third hotel of four we stayed in on a similar budget whilst travelling in Europe and was by far the worst. However, considering the price of hotels in Venice this was probably an average experience for this price range. The photos on the hotel website do not do justice, whilst we expected the room to be small... more

I was travelling with my teenage daughter round Italy and took particular pains to ensure two beds at each pre-booked hotel. Arrived at this hotel to be told that they could not offer me a room with two beds and were totally disinterested and unapolegetic. I spent my first night in Italy on the floor at the princely sum of... more

Stayed here in March. It is very central - on one end is the Rialto Bridge and on the other side is San Marco Square. However the rooms are tiny and quite felt like Alice In Wonderland! However considering everything in Venice is expensive, this hotel was alright for the money we paid. The reception staff were friendly and helpful... more

We stayed at the Alcyone hotel in late May. Our room was small but clean. Breakfast was simple consisting of a roll/croissant, cereal, yoghurt, fruit juice and coffee. The breakfast room only has 7 tables and if the hotel is full you may find you have to wait for a seat. As the previous reviewer indicates the location of the... more

This hotel is in a brilliant position being near to St.Marks Square and the Realto bridge. if any one is thinking of a weekend break in venice look no further and book here. i gave it a good rating because it is the best 2star accom i have stayed in. after reading the reveiws about room sizes i was worried... more

My wife and I booked into this hotel for a week on a hot Venice Saturday, as part of a package tour. The guy at the desk, Rocco, had a quick conversation, in Italian, with our tour guide, who translated that we had a room at the top of the hotel for one night, but for the rest of the... more
