Baseball fan Posted October 28, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I've stayed at Hotel Arlecchino which is one small bridge from Piazzle Roma. Great location and easy to get from the airport and to the ship. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted October 28, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Welcome to Cruise Critic. Just a suggestion but the next time you post you would do better in the title putting the topic of your question. That way you will get more responses.

Cruising89143 Posted October 28, 2013 #6 Share Posted October 28, 2013 In June we stayed two nights at the Hotel Papadopoli. Just one small bridge to cross from the Piazzale Roma. Very easy and a nice hotel. http://www.mgallery.com/gb/hotel-1313-hotel-papadopoli-venezia-mgallery-collection/index.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agabbymama Posted October 28, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I find this website has lots of great info http://europeforvisitors.com/venice/venice-hotels.htm Not only for hotels, but for the Port of Venice in general too. I chose Ca' Doge right in Piazzale Roma, and there was a second hotel on the other side of the Piazzale, called Santa Chiara. These would be the two absolutely closest hotels. Ca' Doge does not have an elevator, but Santa Chiara does. Have some fun looking at various hotels in various locations. I first had a Golden Tulip Tritone booked in Mestre (on the mainland). Then planned to take the train for 1 EUR to Venice proper. A friend and I travel together, but we do not sleep together and a lot of the hotels won't guarantee 2 beds. Even at Ca' Doge, they said they had twin beds and they were, but only separated by about 6 inches. But we decided we wanted to stay in Venice. Once we started pricing hotels in Venice, we opted for the Piazzale Roma (it is the transporation hub of Venice). Bus and taxis, a vaporetto office and stop, as well as a visitor kiosk (for questions and maps). I hadn't thought about an elevator until we got there and was told there were three floors we had to climb. They did carry our luggage up for us and then down again when we departed, but we two old ladies had to negotiate those stairs on our own, so make sure you know your limitations before you book. Have fun planning, then taking your trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Kat Posted October 30, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Make sure you know how many bridges you will have to cross lifting your luggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
