We booked this hotel because it was one of the least expensive hotels we could find for our extended family trip. We booked 5 rooms (2 doubles and 3 quads) We were very happy with the location. The rooms were not air conditioned and only one fan was supplied per quad room. Some of the quad rooms had a lot... more

The best thing about Hotel Alex is that because it's been around for so long, most people seem to know where it is. Since, you'll be getting lost in Venice quite frequently, this is a huge advantage. Sometimes, the locals are even willing to come along with you to help you find your way. It's also very clean and the... more

So I took a chance with Hotel Alex and decided to stay in this one star establishment in the S. Polo area of the city. And the chance paid off. Everything in S. Marco is... more

I stayed at Hotel Alex with my partner for two nights. I realise that hotels in Venice are very expensive, but this was good value at €104 per night for the two of us. Our room was number 9 on the top floor and bear in mind there are no lifts. The room is very basic, bed, bedside tables, a... more

We just got back from a one night stay in Venice at the Hotel Alex and wanted to write to say how great a place it is for the price. The hotel was clean, it was in an excellent location, and they were very accomodating. When one person in our group had to cancel at the last minute due to... more

I was afraid that I would not be able to stay in Venice because all of the hotels I researched were so expensive. Then I found the Hotel Alex. It was wonderful. Mario and his mother were very helpful with anything that I needed or wanted. The breakfast was not huge, but it was very good, and I did not... more
