"This place has a great location and the best amenity you could ask for and dragging your luggage all the way there, an ELEVATOR (for luggage only)! The breakfast was excellent with gluten free options for celiacs. Our only problem was that is it was insanely hot and they didn’t have the ac on before our at oval so the room was stifling.

Hotel Bella Venezia

Hotel Bella Venezia

10/10 Excellent
"Okay, I’ve been to a lot of foreign hotels, some high end, others, not so much. What I liked was the character of the hotel. It wasn’t in an area that was where everyone off the street would go to, but to me was a hidden jewel of a place. It was clean and very well kept. It wasn’t overly modern, but had a charm that said to me, come try me out. The staff at the desk was very helpful and knew what I might need to know ahead of time. I was even given specific direction of some of the local eateries with the help of a map, marked where I could easily find them. I’d rate the breakfast as a clean, well kept area with trained courteous wait staff, though it was a buffet style breakfast. All in all, I could easily find myself looking to book myself easily to enjoy a peaceful restful stay. Caution though, if your looking for a noisy hotel, this is not the place to."
