DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Venice - North

I would only recommend staying here if your party is large and if you have access to a vehicle. PROS: 1-Was able to get rooms for a family of 4. It was two rooms, but we weren’t charged for two separate rooms. 2-The Continental breakfast was decent. A nice way to start your morning. CONS: 1-The rooms were not clean…well they were dusty not dirty. 2-The location is literally in the middle of nowhere. 3-Their “shuttle” service. Officially the hotel doesn’t have a shuttle service, but they have some guys (or company) that will take you. Now we were back and forth to the airport when we were staying at a hotel in the city and each time paid less than €50. Staying at this hotel we were closer to the airport and paid €60 for the “shuttle” that was offered. My advise: if you get a good taxi from the airport, get their card instead of using the service the hotel offers. 4-Our flights were changed so we had two extra days to wait until we could fly home. As I mentioned we were staying at another hotel in the city. We left that hotel and traveled a distance to stay at this hotel…because they had a pool; however, upon our arrival we were informed that the pool was out of service. Bummer, but maybe it’ll be fixed tomorrow? NOPE! We left our hotel in the city that was conveniently located near shops, train stations, and restaurants to stay at this hotel because of the pool, but the pool was OUT OF SERVICE!! This was truly a disappointment.

Lovely hotel with very friendly staff, especially Barbara from the restaurant and bar did a great job. Its located a little remote, which ensures a quiet stay, and lots of space. Its just a short drive from center of Venice (15-20 minutes) The kids had a great time at the pool.
