Zecchini Hotel

in a very expensive city like venice this is a good option, the location is very convenient and easy to find! obviously dont expect any kind of luxury for the price you pay. we booked a double room with shared bathroom and we got a complentary upgrade to an ensuite double bedroom! which it was a nice start in venice, yeah the bedroom was tiny but was clean that is enough for us, as we didnt travel to venice to stay in the hotel. if you want to save some money in ur accomodation to spend in you shopping then this is an ideal option, if you want a new nice big room stay away from here but you will have to pay quite lot more.

Very convenient location when arriving by train. We arrived after a cruise, took the new "People Mover" (cost 1 Euro) to Piazale Roma and then an easy 10 minute walk to the hotel. Our double room was on the 4th floor facing street. Very noisy all night long. Room itself was a little worn and in need of a redo. Bathroom was adequate. Did leave early the next morning so no breakfast but with a few bug bites. As far as recommending the hotel to friends, I'd really say it depended on which friends and the time of year they would be visiting.

We stayed at the Zecchini because it was very close to the train station and the ferry terminal. Had to check in at a neighbouring hotel because the Zecchini was unattended - also had to breakfast next door because the Zecchini did not offer any dining facilities. Reception was efficient enough, but without a smile or any friendliness. We were given a very large room on the first floor with a very modern en suite bathroom - in fact the whole hotel looked as though it had been refurbished quite recently. The breakfast next door, although adequate, was poor with little choice and uninteresting food. you cannot pay by credit card, it was cash only because the "communications link was down"; judging by the litter around the equipment, we suspect this is a pretty standard excuse to stop taking credit cards. Overall the hotel represents good value for money, for Venice.
