New Hotels in Venice

"The hotel is newly opened this year; the rooms are new and clean, and each has a balcony with plenty of natural light. Drinking water and slippers are provided in the rooms, which is quite unusual in European hotels; most don't offer these. The owner is Chinese and incredibly hospitable. The Sichuan restaurant next door is part of the same business as the hotel, and the food is excellent. I ate there during my stay; it was very affordable, and the owner even gave me a discount. On my last day, my train was at 5 PM, and after dinner, the owner told me to just wait in the restaurant and even gave me a complimentary coffee. It was truly incredibly kind and touching. The hotel's location is superb, just 30 meters from the train station. Staying on the mainland is definitely the best option when traveling to Venice, as the island is not only more expensive but also has older buildings. Furthermore, a Venice pass includes round-trip train tickets between the mainland and the main island. Overall, this hotel is truly excellent, especially for Chinese tourists; it's like being at home!"

"The location is excellent: a 10-minute walk to the train station, a 14-minute walk to the square where the bus to the airport departs, and shops nearby. We couldn't get through by phone when checking in; the door was locked. So, if you arrive after 6 p.m., please let them know in advance, otherwise you won't get in. The room was very spacious and comfortable, everything was clean and new, the only downside was the hard mattress. I would definitely recommend this hotel."

"Staying in luxury hotels is one of life's greatest pleasures, and if there isn't a good hotel, it's almost better not to travel at all. The newly opened Venice Simplon-Orient-Express (Note: referring to the iconic luxury hotel, e.g., the Belmond Hotel Cipriani or similar luxury property in Venice) is a stunning transformation of a 600-year-old palace! The attention to detail is truly impressive. Every penny was well spent."
