Hotel was near to most of the attractions and we could even walk (about 20 minutes) to train station to catch a train to Padova. The hotel staff was very friendly, especially the front desk person (I think he is philipino). He helped us with clarifying places to go, catching a water bus/taxi, etc. The breakfast included in our stay and it was wonderful. They had sausages, eggs, bacon, ham, bread, many sweets, drinks, tea/coffee, etc. It was one of the best I have seen for breakfast included hotel stays. Also, hotel is on the Grand Canal and they have few chairs and two tables in front of the hotel for their guests to enjoy in evenings or day time near the canal. There were lot of dining options nearby. Hotel was very responsive to my messages through Expedia and even arranged a taxi from airport to hotel at late night. We stayed with 2 kids and we were very happy with our stay and would deycome back.
