Hotel Commercio & Pellegrino

Prime Location: Frequently praised for proximity to landmarks, beaches, and public transport .(based on 4 reviews)

Clean room. Close to the landmark and waterborne service. A little bit noisy but acceptable.

The hotel is located in the Hotel Danieli area — about a block or two from Riva degli Schiavoni and less than a five minute walk from the Alilaguna ferry that goes to Marco Polo international airport. What a blessing since I had to take the 4:55 AM ferry to meet three-hour international flight check-in requirements! The hotel where I stayed a previous night, about a block away, was double the price. Other pluses were a fairly modern bathroom that was ultra clean, and an extremely pleasant front desk manager who I spoke with at length about Venice (in Italian). Nothing in life is perfect. Yes, the hallways could have used a fresh coat of paint. Yes, being on a lively, narrow street, the banter of students was audible on the second floor. And when we opened the window as it was warm in late October, there was no screen, and a bug slipped into the room. I am uncertain whether there was air conditioning, and I didn’t ask. Finally, I opted out of breakfast, and don’t think I would order it if I return, from what I saw. If going to Venice, I would most likely return to this hotel.
