HOTEL TORINO, Venice

The hotel is a 2-minute walk from the Santa Maria del Giglio vaporetto stop (line 1) and close to San Marco Vallaresso (line 2), connecting directly to the train station (35 minutes by line 1) and the airport via Alilaguna water bus (1 hour, €15). A private water taxi costs €70-€110 and can be arranged by the hotel. The train station is a 30-minute walk. The surrounding area is packed with luxury shops, restaurants, and historic sights. Despite being on a busy street, the interior can be quiet, especially rooms facing the courtyard.

Room sizes vary: standard double rooms can be very compact, some with a French bed (smaller than a double). Triple and quadruple rooms offer 2-3 beds; some quadruple rooms have all beds in one space, while booking two doubles provides separate rooms. Some rooms have city views, but none overlook the canal or have a balcony. Soundproofing is limited; street-facing rooms may hear traffic, and rooms near the kitchen experience early morning noise. A kettle and cups are available on request. Bed bugs have been found in some rooms; the hotel has responded with cleaning and treatment. For a more comfortable stay, book a room in the main building and specify your bed preference. Wheelchair-accessible rooms are available upon request.

Breakfast is served in a small room; during busy periods, there may be a wait due to limited staff. The selection is continental with sweet and savory items, and gluten-free options are available on request. The hotel has a bar but no restaurant for lunch or dinner. Special diet menus can be arranged. Breakfast is generally considered adequate for the price, though service speed can be slow. The surrounding streets offer many cafés and restaurants for other meals.

Check-in is from 13:00 to 00:00, check-out until 11:00. Reception is staffed 24/7, so late arrivals are no problem. The lift is only in the main building; the annex has no lift. Wheelchair-accessible rooms are available, with features like grab rails and lower sinks. Family rooms and babysitting services (additional charge) are offered. Business facilities include free fax/photocopying. The hotel is non-smoking throughout, with key card access and 24-hour security. No parking is available. Luggage storage is free and can be used before check-in and after check-out.
