Hotel Plaza Venice

This hotel is a must-recommend! My child and I both agree it's the best value-for-money hotel we've stayed at in Europe so far. The moment we got off the train, we could see the hotel's logo from the platform – the location is excellent, right across from the train station, less than a 2-minute walk. Plus, the room was bigger than we expected, the largest we've had these past few days, and it was very quiet. It came with slippers, a hairdryer, a kettle, and air conditioning. We booked a king-sized bed, which was very spacious, and the bathroom and bathtub were also large. If you turn right out of the hotel, then right again at the first intersection, you'll find many Chinese restaurants. Walking less than 5 minutes down the road, on your left, there's a large, affordable supermarket where a big bottle of water costs about 0.35 euros. The hotel breakfast was also very generous, with a wide variety of items, including boiled eggs.

The location is super convenient, right across from the train station, which is a huge plus if you have luggage. There are also plenty of restaurants and supermarkets nearby, making everything very accessible. They even offer luggage storage, which is a great bonus. Overall, it's a fantastic place and highly recommended!

The hotel is directly opposite Venice's Santa Lucia train station (SMN), making it incredibly convenient – you just cross the road after exiting the station. The hotel itself is a bit old, and the facilities are showing their age. Breakfast was a typical Italian cold cuts spread. We stayed one night; on the first day, we headed straight to the main island for a look around, which was a quick 10-minute train ride for 1.5 Euros. The next day, after checking out, we left our luggage and explored the outer islands, but there really wasn't anything much to see there.

Facilities: This is a very old-fashioned hotel. The lobby seems to have been recently renovated, but the rooms haven't. Cleanliness: Average. Environment: It's right opposite the train station, which is super convenient. Plenty of food options nearby, and there's even a Chinese supermarket behind it. Service: The check-in process took an incredibly long time, not sure why.
