I have been staying here since 1986!!During which ownership changed hands to two charming family men from the Lido.Luciano Benedetto one of them is fluent in several languages (especially English).It is next to the Accademia Bridge (with no.1 Vaporetto stop!)and therefore has access to mainstream Venice but with the Pleasures of the Dorsoduro and Zattere a walk away.with a supermarket...

We had a lot of luggage & the hotel was situated very close to the Academia ferry stop, this was a major plus, as we saw other tourists dragging their luggage signicant distances from the ferry stops to get to their accomodation, so keep this one in mind. The views from our room were great, we opened our windows wide... More

My wife and I along with another couple stayed at this hotel in April 2011. The best thing that we remember about this hotel is the awesome customer service. We were planning on leaving very early the next day and the gentleman at the front desk went out of his way to make sure that we got breakfast. He was... More

My husband and I had a wonderful stay in room number 10 on our honeymoon. It was 2006 though the "when did you travel" does not go back that far. As a surprise for him I planned a return trip for the first week of December 2011. I had been watching the website for several months and noticed that the... More

The Hotel Galleria is conveniently located between the Alli Laguna stop Zattere from the airport and the Vaperetto stop Accademia on the ACTv local transit stop. We've been, what feels like, all over Venice in the 36 hours we've been here... More

Wonderful small hotel on Grand Canal. Canal can be a bit noisy at night, but gives you the true Venetian experince. Owners very helpful and cordial. Easy location close to tourist attractions. More

The Hotel was fantastic- the two windows in our room gave us a nice cross breeze. Breakfast served to us in our room, by the windows, was also a nice touch.Hotel staff gave a great recommendation for dinner! ...what's NOT their fault: the Ferry stop outside, though nice to have, sounds like a garbage truck outside the window at night....

Great location overlooking the Accademia bridge. We loved watching the parade of people and dogs right under our window. The downside of that, of course, is that it was noisy late at night. We sort of enjoyed that too though. Coming from the US, our sleep patterns were all messed up anyway. The noise didn't keep us up - it... More
