"Fantastic location near San Marco Square. Very helpful staff. The breakfast was not up to par with cold food - supposed to be hot and not a lot of variety."

Crowne Plaza Venice East by IHG

Crowne Plaza Venice East by IHG

8/10 Good
"The best thing is it’s just besides train station, just 2 minutes walk so although it’s far from Venice Island but in 30 minutes you can reach Venezia St. Lucia. The property was kept clean, spacious and breakfast was good. The hotel looks like very old and they have some old furnishings which need repair. Overall it needs some refurbishment to look like a modern hotel. They took credit card information as a security guarantee which was strange and faced first time in any hotel in Europe, even Italy but that’s fine as that might have been brought as per their bad experiences with guests in past. There are no good restaurants nearby as it’s bit far from city so need to keep this in mind while booking. Overall ambience at the hotel was good, wouldn’t say excellent but it’s good value for money if you compare with other hotels in Venice."

"First day there, no hot water for shower. Had choice to take a shower in another room or pack up everything and take another room. We did the latter which was a big waste of time. Find out they knew of the problem prior day yet they still gave us the room. Location was ideal. Breakfast was first class. Check shower before you unpack."

"Nice rooms. Located very close to the Trian station and why I booked this location. However, the location of the hotel is in a run down area of the city. Lots of homeless. Dirty streets. Didn't feel too safe at night walking around. There is a Chinese restaurant nearby that was fantastic. I would book the location again due to the location right across from the train station. We took that to Venice island and to Florence. Parking is a block away and wasn't really guarded. Be careful walking from that location at night."
