Le Boulevard

"This is a bit of a strange hotel and rather dated (touch of the Fawlty Towers about it!). But rooms are clean, beds comfortable. Breakfast is pretty basic yet adequate (shame about the tinned fruit and dreadful coffee). Decor is really 1980s...or even 70s! But rooms were fresh and clean, good shower, towels changed daily, beds nicely made and sometime had sheets changed. A good choice if not wishing to spend a fortune but have a convenient and functional place to stay that is a very short walk from the water bus station. Tip - rooms on the front are very noisy if you want to open the window at night thanks to some genius installing cobbled stones in the road outside, ensuring that every vehicle that passes the hotel sounds like a freight train."

"What a disappointment. We didn't find the staff particularly friendly to begin with. The hotel is very dated, doesn't look as if it's been decorated since the 80s. The corridors were dark, the room - plenty of marks on the walls that looked like drinks had been spilled down them. The bathroom - mouldy grouting everywhere, mould in shower screen channels. There was tea and coffee in the room but it wasn't replenished during the week we were there. The breakfast was good, bacon, sausages and scrambled egg every day, toast, bread, fruit, cereals, drinks. The hotel was clean, but I wouldn't say it was 4 star."

"Frankly had to take a flyer on where to stay as it was my first time in Venice & didn't really know the lay of the land. Obviously need to use the water taxi system to stay on Lido to go to the main island of the city to see the "sights", etc.-this place is in a great location on Lido just a couple of blocks from the dock & near a few restaurants as well as a good grocery store less than a 5 min. walk away. Room & bathroom was spacious & well appointed-had a classic Italian feel to it. Good sized mini-fridge as well. Breakfast was serviceable & overall staff were pleasant. Not a bad option if one doesn't want to break the bank in Venice."
