Hotel Palladio (Venice, Italy)

If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive way of experiencing Venice then this hotel may well suit your needs. Many guests comment that the main reason they chose this hotel was because it was cheap and had easy transport links to Venice.

You will be able to take advantage of the hotel's shuttle bus service if you chose to stay at the Palladio. The bus journey takes around 10 - 15 minutes, a saving when compared to 30 minutes plus journey of the public buses. It is important to note that the shuttle bus only takes guests to Venice - it is up to them to make their own way back to the hotel. Also, a seat on the bus needs to be booked at reception and a charge is levied for luggage.

Many guests were happy with the complimentary breakfast and it certainly met the expectations they had for a budget hotel.

A complaint aired by a number of guests was the fact that Wi-Fi is not provided free as standard. Variously it was described as expensive and unreliable.

Despite the fact that Palladio's website indicates the presence of 24-hour bar, a few guests commented that this wasn't the case, at least during their stay. There doesn't seem to be a restaurant in the hotel either. Coupled with the lack of alternatives in the town it left some guests unsure where to eat.

According to a few comments, the televisions in the rooms are showing their age.
