hôtel très bien placé près de la gare. Au calme dans une petite ruelle et à proximité d'une station importante vaporetti. Bon accueil et parlant français.

The Stella Alpina is VERY convient for those arriving via train, or even for those flying in to Venice and taking the bus to town. As we saw many tourists lugging their heavy bags across the city, we came to REALLY appreciate its closeness to the train station! In addition to the convenience to the train station, it is also very close to the "Vaporeto" stops. By bus, cross the big bridge and get to the train station. From the train station, go left out of the station about 150m along the Grande Canal, and you will almost immediately come to a bridge on the right, I believe the name was "Ponte Scalix" or something similar. Don't cross the bridge, but when you see it look to your left. Just a little further on you should see a relatively narrow, pedestrian only, alley, between two restaurants. For confirmation the street name should be on the upper right wall of the alley. The hotel is down the alley on your right about 50m. Internet access is not free, but they do have wireless and a computer available for use. Breakfast is excellent - a good selection of breads, croisants, sliced ham and cheese, juices, coffee/expresso/chocolate, etc. Staff for the most part are very knowledgeable and helpful, though we did have one front desk person who didn't seem too happy to be working there! TIP: Even though it is expensive, go ahead and buy the 24 - 36 hour Vaporeto pass. Riding the water bus around Venice is pretty cool!
