ALBERGO AL TIEPOLO, Venice

The hotel is set 250 metres from Piazza San Marco, placing all major sights within easy walking distance - the Rialto Bridge is 700 metres away and Teatro La Fenice is reachable in 10 minutes on foot. The San Zaccaria waterbus stop is a three-minute walk, providing direct connections to the train station and Piazzale Roma (the car park and bus terminal). Numerous restaurants, cafés and a minimarket surround the small square at the front. Rooms facing the square can experience noise from restaurant-goers and early-morning service carts, so rooms at the rear or overlooking the courtyard offer a quieter stay.

Rooms include air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a minibar, and a safe. Private bathrooms have a bath or shower, bidet, and complimentary toiletries. Family rooms consist of one double bed and two single beds (or a French bed and two singles in quadruple rooms), all with city views. Some rooms have a canal view; standard rooms have no special view. Rooms tend to be compact and basic in finish, with some describing the beds as firm and pillows as large. Noise from uncarpeted hallways can carry into rooms, particularly those near the entrance or facing the square. A kettle is available on request.

Breakfast is offered for an additional charge, providing a basic continental spread. Wine and champagne can be ordered for an extra fee. The hotel itself does not have a restaurant, but the small square immediately outside has several dining options including Rossopomodoro Venezia, Il Ridotto, Trattoria alla Rivetta, and Trattoria Al Gazzettino, all within a short walk. Café Florian is 500 metres away. The hotel offers a discount at a restaurant across the square. A minimarket is also located nearby for self-catering supplies.

The property provides free Wi-Fi throughout and daily housekeeping (towels changed daily). Luggage can be left at reception before check-in and after check-out. A tour desk and concierge service are on hand. The minimarket on site is convenient for snacks and essentials. There is no lift, and all rooms are on the first floor accessed via stairs. Parking is not available at the hotel - the nearest public car park is at Piazzale Roma, accessible by waterbus. Pets are allowed on request with possible charges. Accepted payment methods include Visa, MasterCard, Maestro, CartaSi, Postepay, and cash.
