Basilea Dependance

We managed just a one night stand, even though I must say I was pretty surprised how clean & tidy the hotel was. With a separate bathroom in our room we couldn't get more. The hotel's quite close to the parking lot and so it's to the city center. Also food shops and restaurants are at hand. The staff was really willing to provide any info we wanted and there was no problem to leave all our stuff at the hotel's luggage room for a whole day after we checked-out.

Our room was very narrow and small and there was no air conditioning which meant it was sooo hot in the room which was really uncomfortable! We asked in reception if there was a fan we could use and when we returned from our day there was one in our room which made our stay a lot more pleasant! It was annoying that breakfast wasnt included considering it was quite expensive! On our trip we stayed in cheaper hostels where there was breakfast and air conditioning! The hotel was very easy to find from the station there was even a sign on the ground just outside the station pointing you in the right direction! The hotel was in a good location to get to the grand canal and other attractions in venice, there were also lots of good cheapish resturants near by! We enjoyed our stay alot more once we had the fan. However you would think that in a hot country like Italy that air conditioning would be an essential for any hotel room!!! The staff were helpful in getting us a fan! The cleaners seemed to only ever come to clean past 4pm which was a bit annoying when you had just got back from a long hot day wondering around!!

We read all of the reviews, and some weren't pretty. However we have been pleasantly surprised. Though we didn't come to Venice to watch TV or surf the internet. The room was comfortable enough and well presented. The staff were really helpful and the breakfast was just fine. Best of all was the location. Good value for money in my view.
