Santa Chiara Hotel is found in a 500 year-old palace next to Venice’s Piazzale Roma, the only part of Venice reachable by car. This 3-star hotel overlooks the Grand Canal, Papadopoli Gardens and the Constitution Bridge, is 15 minutes from the Rialto Bridge by water bus and a few minutes from the central rail and bus stations. All rooms are traditionally decorated, with parquet flooring, uncovered beams and Murano glass chandeliers. Some are found in an annex, and all have private bathrooms with shower and hairdryer, minibar, satellite TV, safe, controllable air conditioning, soundproofing , room service and direct-dial telephone. Small pets are welcome, guests can store luggage and free Wi-Fi is available in public areas. Continental breakfasts are served daily at Santa Chiara Hotel. St Mark’s Square can be reached in 30 minutes by foot or water bus, and all cruise/ferry terminals are within a 15-minute walk.
Santa Chiara & Residenza Parisi is fantastic for those who want to be close to the bus terminal for airport transfers, or for taxis, St. Lucia Station, vaporetto water buses and the cruise dock. A few guests also said it was not too far from the central Venice attractions, whether by water bus or foot.
The staff members have been described as exceptionally helpful and welcoming, providing an easy check-in and good advice on the city. Likewise the breakfasts were generally well appreciated for their plentiful spread of continental fare and decent coffee.
Guests generally found the rooms to be clean, quiet and spacious for Venice, although some of those overlooking the Grand Canal experienced a little bit of background noise. A few also expressed enjoyment in the old building’s period feel.
A small number of those who stayed were unhappy with the price they paid, citing factors like small and dark bathrooms, and a few occasions where hot water was lacking and the air conditioning was not working well. The Wi-Fi is also only accessible from the lobby, something which disappointed many of those who stayed.
A few guests thought Santa Chiara & Residenza Parisi was showing its age and was in need of updating, and it appears this may be happening, with a few guests mentioning renovations going on in mid-2015.
The annex was thought to be about 100 metres away from the hotel itself, which proved to be a slight annoyance to some.
