Best Western Premier Hotel Sant'Elena - Venezia

Great hotel in wonderful and quiet surroundings. 2 min walk to the vaporettos taking you to the city center. Walking distance (25 min) to city center Very good and delicate breakfast.

Dette kan ikke feile. 200 meter fra lokalbåten ligger hotellet. Midt i en stor park, en stor grønn oase:-) Ca 20 min å gå til Marcoplassen, med båt ca 7 min. Like ved hotellet er det matbutikk og en helt nydelig restaurant som må prøves! Den store parken på St.Elena er en flott mulighet til å puste ut mellom slagene inne i turistmarerittet... Her er […] det lite turister og mest fastboende. Rolig område. Store, flotte rom, med dusj/bad-kombo. Bra frokost (buffet). Gratis internett og avis, samt gratis båttur til Moreno. Anbefales.

Hotellet ligger vakkert og fredelig til, nærmest i en park. Kort vei til "bussbåt-forbindelser", som går svært ofte, og tar deg dit du ønsker. Ca, gåavstand til Marcusplassen er 25 minutter langs den vakre sjøpromenaden. Anbefaler hotellet, men mest til dem som har vært i Venezia før, da det jo ligger et stykke unna sentrum. . Selve hotellet var flott […] å bo på, med bl.a. gratis internett ! Les mer

We couldn't have been happier with our choice of hotels! The hotel is in a quite residental area, with a lovely park. It is only a few boat stops away from all the action and noise of St Marks Square. We stayed in a deluxe room. It was roomy and modern. Love, love , loved it!

The hotel staff was great. Breakfast was great. Location next to water "bus" pickup was perfect. Very good rooms and service. Wi Fi worked well. No complaints.

This hotel was a short distance from the hustle And bustle of city center in Venice. Very modern and wonderful atmosphere and service.

This hotel is great, i would stay there again. near everything and the water bus just next to the hotel. also they offer the best breakfast hotel can offer. i travel all the time but the breakfast they have is amazing.

The hotel was a few feet from the motorboat (bus stop) which goes to different parts of Venice. The service was great and we enjoyed the breakfast. The staff is friendly but do not speak much English. We do not speak Italian either but we were able to communicate. I liked the hotel location because it was quiet away from the commercial area but near […] to restaurants either by foot or by motorboat. WE ENJOYED VENICE BIG TIME.... Les mer

It is in a quiet area of Venice on the Vaporetta route 1. Good idea to get a Vaporetta pass for the number of hours that you will be there. Excellent complementary buffet breakfast. Good food for dinner as well.

Nice 10 minute Vaporetto-ride to Piazza San Marco. Comfortable hotel with good breakfast. That is apart from the orange juice, but the cakes compensate for it. Staff was friendly, although they enjoyed smoking in front of the entrance.

It is far away from then action of tourist. You need at least 30 minutes to get to the train station and sites of the city. If you want to see trees and grass and get away from the tourist crowd it is good. The food and service is good but the way the lights work at this hotel is confusing. Not many restaurant choices. I liked that the internet was […] available for free 24 hours a day. Les mer

The Hotel Sant'Elena is in a pleasant, quiet residential neighborhood, near a park, about 20 minute walk from the Piazza San Marco. You can easily get to nearby water bus and water taxi stops without having to navigate any bridges. The room was large and clean, but the mattresses could use updating. Wonderful breakfast buffet with hot and cold items. […] Great place to stay close to the heart of Venice and still be able to get away from the crowds. Les mer

The room was great (large, clean, current), the included morning breakfast buffet was well done, and the staff was very nice. Just be sure not to go when the Venice water bus drivers are on strike because lugging the bags to this out-of-the-way hotel is very exhausting. Otherwise, the water bus station is a mere block away from the hotel and quite accessible. […] We stayed in another part of Venice during another leg of our journey and while it was nice, this Best Western showed us a peaceful, non-tourist-infested area of Venice where we could observe a slice of life moment of the rare Venetian resident. btw, a 24 hour bank of food machines is closeby in the case of munchies at odd hours. It is located along the perimeter of the park that is in between the water bus station and the hotel. Enjoy! Les mer

The 4 star hotel St Elena that is actually 3 star and that is only because of it size. Hotel is not fresh as 4 star hotels should be, the garden and hotel could be in better shape to be rated as a 4 stars. The most negative experience was air condition that was broke off and on, and they simply couldn't do any better bur wait for electricion to come […] and fix it...when he comes. AC problem was in the whole hotel. The hotel restaurant was closed from breakfast to dinner time. Our mini bar was locked. There was no internet in the rooms, only in the lobby. Breakfast was good, and location was good if you want to skip tourists. Les mer

What we loved the most about this hotel is the location. It is far enough from Venice that you can trully get away from the worst of Venice crowd in the summer. It is located in a residential area. There's not a lot going on in this area but you can easily walk to everything. The hotel caters to tour groups so you don't really get the personal attention […] from the staff. Some of the staff at this hotel can be cold and unfriendly. The rooms are clean, comfortable and spacious. Les mer

This hotel is in an excellent position withing a few minutes of a vaparetto stop. The boat takes about five minutes to St Marks Square and you can walk it in about 20 minutes. The hotel is in a quiet area and is very clean and comfortable with a good breakfast. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The only drawback is that a number of groups use the […] hotel and breakfast needs to be times so as not to go in at the same time as a group but that is not difficult. An excellent hotel and I would recommend it to anybody. Les mer

Breakfast was delicious, lots of choices and pleasant to eat outside on their patio.

Must stay on water taxi until 3 stops after st marks. Should drop you 2 quick comfortable, short blocks from hotel located a 100 or so steps from park and waterfront. A nice haven recovery place to be after each day's adventures. Free internet is included with 2 stations. Breakfast terrific and don't miss opportunity to take in the nice courtyard eating […] area. Dinner there is pricey (but same with all of Italy) and nothing special. A few local small restaurants priced a bit more reasonable are nearby that take credit cards as well as neighborhood convenient store with snack foods available throughout the day with dinning options. Can have front desk coordinate private taxi to return to train/bus station area, BUT make sure driver knows he/she must take you all the way to final destination. Be prepared for little interaction with driver and their being constantly on cell phones. Can get free private taxi to one of Murano glass factory with demo of glass making there, but be ready for some sales pressure. Public taxis are available to and from there as well. Just a terrific spot -trees and uncrowded walkways. Do at least one walk from here to St. Marks along waterway and over some not so crowded bridges..delightful. Highly recommended place to stay once you get here. Be ready to have to wheel your luggage a bit from drop off at train/bus station to water taxi and from drop off to hotel. Do not panic if you get off a stop or two early...stay along waterway and walk down to St. Elena ...make left once you see the proper water taxi site to get to hotel. Enjoy! Les mer

This friendly and efficient modern hotel has all necessary facilities and is just four quick vaporetto stops from San Marco with very frequent services. Set in a quiet residential area with leafy public gardens and squares, this hotel's location combines convenience to the centre with a peaceful tranquility which provides a wonderful contrast to the […] hurly burly of the tourist trail. The staff are friendly and efficient and our junior suite provided sufficient space for a seven night stay without the feeling of claustrophobia. There is a wired internet connectiion in the rooms and WiFi in the public areas. There is a decent breakfast buffet which can be eaten in the restaurant or taken out through a door into the walled garden or into a separate open sided dining room in one corner of the garden itself. The rooms are crisp, modern in style and have all necessary facilities. The only minor downside is that whilst there is a bar situated inside the restaurant this is not somewhere for an intimate nightcap - and it closes at 11.00 pm. The hotel is situated just few hundred metres from the vaporetto stop and there is a canal which runs directly alongside the building enabling convenient drop off and collection if you wish to take a private water taxi from or to the airport. This takes 30 minutes versus 90 minutes on public water buses and it eliminates the need to hump bags to and from the vaporetto and then between boats when changing at the Lido (not cheap but fast, fun and much more convenient). Les mer

This is a wonderful hotel---the location is a bit away from the action but it is nice to be able to get away from the hectic area around St Marks Square---the breakfast is outstanding ---a real find and definitely worth the short distance from the Action

very clean hotel, away from the crowds at St. Marks area. We injoyed walking into the square but if you aren't walkers the water bus stops just a few feet from the hotel. The breakfast was very good.

Nice enough hotel, nice size room, but bed was very uncomfortable which made sleeping difficult, was very far from St Mark's Square. Would be a good place for people traveling with small children as park and play yard close by or for someone wanting to be away from the crowds. Costly to use water taxi each time and waiting their arrival was a little […] annoying. Les mer

The hotel was ok, but we arrived at 23:00 due to problems with trains. We hadn't had dinner, so wanted food when we arrived, only to find there are no restaurants in the area, and the hotel's kitchen was closing in 5 minutes. They would only make toast for us, and that was only at our insistance. It was not a very welcoming way to start our stay. The […] hotel was clean, but the room was very small. I'm used to European rooms being small, but this was different than we had been led to expect from the website. It is a very pretty area of Venice, quiet and peaceful away from the main hustle. If you're happy to catch the boat all the time, which is easy but takes time, or walk 15-20 back to Piazza San Marco, then the location is ok. Some of the staff were lovely and helpful, others not so much. And it also seemed to depend on the time that you caught them as to how helpful they wanted to be. All in all, the hotel is ok, but next time I will be staying more in the centre. Les mer

Quite inconvenience and out of place. Our Junior suite are furnised with a badly worn out sofa.

The Santa Elena hotel in Venice is very comfortable. Though not very convenient from the airport or the main train station (it takes around 35-40 mins by boat to reach), the hotel makes up for it. Rooms are big and comfortable, bathrooms are spacious, breakfast is also good. The front office staff are quite helpful. They had free wi-fi and internet […] access in the lobby, what could have helped is wi-fi access in rooms. Overall highly recommended! Les mer

Might not suit everyone to be a little away from the centre but the 12 of us enjoyed either the 15 min walk back or the trip on the water bus. Rooms nice, breakfast was fine and staff very friendly. Couple of restaurants close by which were OK. We got a water taxi from airport to hotel which between 8 was reasonable but for small parties get the water […] bus to Lido and the water bus from there to Venice, First stop St Elena Euro 2 and hotel 2 mins walk. Woule stay here again as nice and quiet after busy day in centre Les mer

The hotel is a great location to avoid the crowds. It was about a 20 minute walk to Piazza San Marco. The room was very clean and comfortable. There are a few restaurants/bars a 10 minute walk away. The staff were very friendly. The water taxi is less than a 5 minute walk from the hotel. It was approximately 45 minutes on a water taxi to the train  […] station. Les mer

The entire female staff was extremely rude and very unpleasant. Especially if you are from the U.S. They love to talk about you as well in Italian while in front of them. The breakfast staff in whole was horrible, no personal warmth or just a simple hello. The hotel was not as close as the website says and I would not recommend it to anyone. There was […] not a single restaurant to walk to. Les mer

Great hotel, great service, great breakfast. The only knock on the hotel is the location. We arrived to Venice on a day when the vaparettos were on strike (which happens quite often) and we ended up walking from the train station to the hotel which took around an hour and a half. Once the water buses were operational again, everything was ok as the […] Sant'Elena stop is only 3 mins away from the hotel. A positive aspect of the location is that it is only one stop away from Lido, where you can go to a beach. All around a great stay in a modern hotel in Venice that happens to be some distance away from the central area. Les mer

Having stayed here previously and had what we were told was a junior suite at a discounted rate booked online prior to Best Western taking control, we were disappointed to have a been given a small room with the bed wedged into an alcove with no access to the bed from either side. Having complained about the cramped room we were offered an alternative […] which was slightly better but as the hotel was fully booked this was the only alternative. We accepted. The dining/breakfast room is small and could not really cater for the amount of clients at breakfast, we tried the evening meal in the restaurant, the tuna was over cooked, so we ate out most nights. Service I must say was very good, but unfortunately the previous experience remained and this fell somewhat short of our expectations. Location is excellent, away from the crowds, would we recommend it, yes, is it really a 4star hotel, no, it lacks facilities and it is too expensive. Would we go back there again, most probably ! Les mer

This hotel was fine--great breakfast, nice neighborhood, clean rooms. However, it was very inconveniently located. Boat ride took about 15-20 minutes and was kind of pricey. Walk to main square was about a half hour. I'd recommend someplace closer to the action.

This hotel is a little bit outside the main tourist area a 5 minute boat ride to a very quiet residential area. We went in winter, and I am sure that during the summer you could walk it. It was perfect for us because the extra distance allowed us to save significantly on price. We would return, the breakfast was perfect and very filling. Out of our […] month long trip to Europe this was probably our favorite hotel. The place is very clean and modern. Les mer

If you want to be away from the craziness of Venice's center, try this hotel. It in the Sant' Elena section of Venice, about three or four Vaporetto stops from Marco Square. This is a quiet residential neighborhood with several reasonably priced restaurants nearby (something unusual in overpriced Venice). The hotel lived up to its expectation and the […] breakfast was sumptuous. Les mer

We had 10 people in our party; we were boarding a cruise ship in Venice after our stay. We were delighted with the location of the hotel, out of the hustle bustle of St. Mark square, but close enought that we could easily walk there. The St. Elena neighborhood is quiet, clean and friendly;we had dinner in a restaurant a few doors away; this was a very […] enjoyable experiencs. The staff at the hotel were friendly, polite and extremely helpful. Breakfast was included and this was very delicious with many choices. The outdoor courtyard was very relaxing. We will go back and stay here! Les mer

I would definitely recommend this hotel, especially for people who have been to Venice before, as it is somewhat away from the main tourist area and situated in a residential neighborhood. The hotel is very clean and well-maintained. The breakfast is fantastic! The staff was very accommodating and professional.

The hotel is located in a nice quiet neighbourhood. The staff were very friendly. It's a lovely 10 minute walk from centre of Venice along the water front or 5 mins by water bus. The room could have been a little cleaner, there were stains on seats in room.

15 to 20 minute walk to St. Marks. One vaporetto stop to Lido. Short walk to the Bienale. Great breakfast. Not in teh thick of things so that can be its lus or minus. For us it was a plus because we were these in late July, with throngs of people near St. Marks. THis was a quiet retreat from the madness. THe AC was very strong.

Great location in a non-touristy area of Venice close to a nice park and the Sant Elena boat stop.

This is one of the best hotel in Venice, plus you get the great rate.....

Tucked away just 3 minutes walk from the Vaoretto stop, the hotel is clean and modern. Just one stop from the Lido and 2-3 from St mark's Square, we found the hotel in an excellent location, although the S'ant Elena area is very quiet. Rooms are not huge, but are very comfortable and well equipped. The buffet breakfast is excellent and serves until […] 11am so perfect if you donlt want to be up early! Les mer

Overall, the room; service and staff were fine. I would recommend it for a short stay.

This is a very well run, clean and efficiently run hotel. The location is perfect - a lovely quiet residential area with parks to relax in set away from the hustle and bustle of St. Marks - just a twenty minute stroll away. The hotel is also very close (few hundred metres) to a vaporetto stop which is very handy when arriving laden down with luggage. […]  The staff were also very pleasant and friendly. Les mer

The hotel is a little off the beaten track but this adds to it's appeal. A very short walk from the Sant' Elena vaparetto stop means that you can be at the heart of the main attractions very easily and very quickly. However, because it is a little way out it is both relaxing and excellent value for money.

Der Aufenthalt war kurz und schmerzlos. Die Reservation entsprach unserem Wunsch.

Exlente, sem problemas. Muito bem atendidos.
