The location is fantastic and the aspect from the canal view room we had was what Venice is all about - the Grand Canal and watching the hustle and bustle without having to be part of the crowds at street level. The room was modest in size but comfortable enough with good winter heating and plenty of hot water in the bathroom. The canal view rooms are accessed by narrow stairs from the 1st floor (once there by lift) and assistance is available with luggage. There was a good variety of food available for breakfast and the staff on duty were attentive. Overall, the staff were welcoming and pleasant to deal with.

The hotel reception is about 60 meters down the alley - ignore the first door “Abbazia de luxe” you see immediately on your left, which is closed. An arrow pointing to the main entrance on that door would help navigation.

The location was great, once we found it! The staff were very helpful and nice, we had a canal view which was great and it was interesting to see the goings on outside!!!

It's a shame it doesn't have coffee facilities in the room, so in the morning I had to go across a walkway to the sister hotel to get a hot drink to start my day! Was a little strange to have a bathtub in middle of the room with do doors out curtains for privacy! (I was there with my kids) The hotel was a bit difficult to find as it's down a narrow passageway and not clearly signed from the main street, if they would write a narrow street straight opposite the 1st big bridge I might have found it straight away without calling and walking around to find it!

The breakfast was amazing. The rooms were cozy. The staff was extremely friendly. It's right beside the train station and only one staircase away from piazalle Romano (the best stop) which is the easiest place to get to from the airport. Amazing location. Also only a 30 mins walk away from san marco and the beauty is in the walk. The train station is 20 steps away from the accommodation btw. This is the best location for all foreign travelers. Take note. This location has 2 or 3 rooms with view of the grand canal, I took that and did not regret.

Some of the lights did not function. Would have preferred if I could make the room slightly brighter when I wanted to.

Absolutely a little gem! Myself and my brother traveled here in Feb. I didn’t have much expectations although it had great reviews. We arrived in the morning and we were greeted by Irene who was absolutely amazing. Our room was ready and we were able to check in early without extra cost. We also were upgraded to a canal city view. Which was Amazing!!! The breakfast is continental nothing special at all which included fruit, yogurt, cakes, cereal, toast, cold meats and pancakes. This did the job for us though. The room was big and spacious and the view really was the main attraction for us. We asked for 2 single beds and they had given us a double however they were able to separate the bed and give us 2 duvets which was muchly appreciated.

Decor wasn’t great in reception. Place could do with a mini makeover or some fresh paint on the walls. However it didn’t upset us. It really was just a place to put our heads down to sleep and did the job.

The location was perfect for us just about 200 metres from the train station, and our room had a fantastic view of one of the bridges. Breakfast was amazing, and the staff were excellent really great customer service throughout. Overall, an excellent location with easy access to both train and bus stations.

The room itself was excellent; however, the bed base wasn’t great, as it squeaked and made noise every time we moved.

Location is perfect close to Santa Lucia railway station and ferry transport. View from canal room is enchanting and pretty special. Good restaurants close by. Even though it was a busy area the room was very quiet. The young staff member who helped with luggage up the many stairs is a lovely kid and very helpful and polite .

It was hard to find the entrance initially but once you understood the maze it was easy. There are a lot of stairs to canal view rooms but worth it if you’re able.

We stayed at the B&B side of the property (hotel side is Hotel Abbazia). When we arrived, I asked the lady at the front desk if she could help us get a reservation for that day as it was my son's birthday. Not only did she get a great restaurant, she also told the manager about my son's bday so they prepared a little something and my baby got to blow a candle! As for our room, I thought it would look old and dated based on the pictures but in person it looked really, really elegant. It was also very spacious! Breakfast was excellent with plenty of options to choose from. I highly recommend this hotel!

A fantastic property right on the Grand Canal. The room we had was large (especially by European standards) and more than sufficient for our needs. The front desk staff were amazing and very helpful. The restaurant staff were the opposite - rude and grumpy - but at least the breakfast was a good start to the day. We chose this hotel due to its proximity to the train station - this cannot be overemphasised in Venice - walking over all those bridges with suitcases would not be fun!

It wasn't a big thing for us as we were up but there is quite a bit of conversation on the canal outside the window from quite early in the morning as deliveries etc take place. If you wanted a quiet morning this could be a concern.

5 min from the train station S. Lucia by feet. View to the Canal Grande (at least from room 605). Very fine WiFi Nice staff!

Breakfast is served in the hotel Abbazia, nearly in the same building. Last weekend (28.-31.10.) both breakfast locations were full at 8:30

Abbazia De Luxe was such an amazing hotel to stay in Venice. It was central to everything, we did not need to take the vaporetto anywhere, we walked to San Marco Square, to Bovolo tower, to La Fenice and we found delicious little cafes and restaurants nearby. A super bonus is that its right next to the train and bus stations only a couple minutes away, this prevented us from having to pay for expensive water taxis or walking for long periods with heavy luggage through crowded Venice. The view from our room was exceptional, we were able to see the Grand Canal. The room was extremely clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was delicious, they had fruit, meats, cheeses, pastries, pancakes, cereals and so much more. The staff was so kind and hospitable. When Ravenna was flooded and we couldn't get into the city, they helped us find a new room. Special thanks to the lady who helped us with the wifi issues and the young man who helped us find a lavanderia and a new room, you both were outstanding.

Everything was perfect. My only issue which is particular to my situation was that I needed very fast wifi for video calling due to a work emergency happening on my vacation, the staff was very helpful to try to get me the best wifi possible. In the end, I found that near the breakfast room had excellent speeds for video calling. Otherwise, the wifi was perfect for use on my phone for social media, whatsapp and searching Google. Again, this is an edge case scenario.
