Hotel Colombina

We loved our stay at Hotel Colombina. The staff was incredible. The morning breakfast delicious. We enjoyed sitting on the canal many times during the day whether it was for a cappuccino or glass of vino. The hotel arranged both our pick up from the airport and return trip to the train station. The location is amazing with some great restaurants in the area. We would absolutely return here.

Arrival at the hotel was extremely difficult as the water taxi refused to take us up the canal to the private taxi entrance of the hotel. Lugging our bags through St. Mark's Piazza and cobblestoned streets and steps was really onerous. Once we arrived at the hotel, everything was great. The room was spacious with a private balcony over-looking the canal and the Bridge of Sighs. An absolutely five- star view. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the bathroom had a nice shower. The hotel also has a nice bar. Most importantly, the hotel is an amazing location where you can walk to everywhere in Venice quickly in all directions. The staff were very professional and accommodating. The breakfast was ample; however, the seating is cramped and the buffet tended to run out of items which were not replaced. The hotel also offered a free tour to a Murano Glass Factory (for which to buy the expensive glass items offered at the store). The hotel also had emergency construction project one day of our stay which was a bit difficult to move around. When we left, a water taxi did pick us up in the canal in front of the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel due to the location and the wonderful balcony and room. I would return whenever in Venice.

The location was perfect for exploring Venice. The room looked right onto the canal, with a view of the Bridge of Sighs and an occasional picture-perfect gondola rowing by. Breakfast was full of delicious choices and everyone was friendly and helpful. Can't say enough about this hotel and our stay. Highly recommend!
