Hotel Ariel Silva Reviews

Very nice hotel in a cozy neighborhood Walking distance to supermarket, vaporetto station and railway station The only minus is that a bathroom stall super tiny 😂

Its a nice hotel and cheap and very affordable ❤️❤️❤️

The location is very good in the main island, around 10 mins walk from St Lucia train station. There are also waterbus stations nearby. There are lots of restaurants as well. The shared bathroom is quite small but it’s good value for money.

After a 30 minute walk we got to the hotel only to find out our room was in a separate building that was 10 blocks away! They stored our luggage for a couple of hours and when we ask to use the restroom we were told it was ‘only for people staying at the hotel’, the staff was quite rude. The room itself was confortable.

It was good overall experience, location was good and staff was courteous.

Venice is a city with high accommodation costs, but this hotel is relatively reasonable and the rooms are spacious and clean. The toilets and showers are shared, but this hotel is recommended for those who don't mind that. The bathroom has shampoo and soap, but no toothbrushes. It is within walking distance of Santa Lucia Station, and the canal is nearby, so it is easy to catch the water bus. It says that there is a separate building 800 meters away, but it is actually inside the main hotel. Also, breakfast is listed as 10€, but the price has increased to 15€, and tourists are charged an additional 2€, so it is effectively 17€. The breakfast is very simple, so 10€ would have been reasonable, but 17€ seemed a bit expensive. There is a nice supermarket near the hotel, so it is fun to buy food there. Overall, this hotel is recommended for those looking for a simple stay.

My experience with the hotel overall was good. The room is well located, in the heart of Venice. The blanket that covered the bed bothered me a little, as it seemed very old to me. I had a problem with the guest who was in another room because as the bathroom was shared, when I went to take a shower at 11pm the guest in the other room complained that we were taking a shower late and asked us to take a shower earlier.

Excellent position! Clean room, helpful staff. The only thing missing is soundproofing in the room

The price is in Venice, which is considered a mid-range price, the room is clean as a whole, and the bathroom has obviously been renovated. The hotel Yousheng is in the city center, 6 minutes away from the pier, and about 15 minutes walk to the train station.

The room was upgraded so it was comfortable. The location is far from the station, but it's close to the center, so you don't have to worry about restaurants.

It was great

We booked an "apartment for 2 with bathroom" at Hotel Ariel Silva. The booking was for Calle della Masena 1391/A which was supposed to be opposite the hotel building where the check-in was. When we arrived there, they told us our apartment was in fact in a completely different part of Venice (800 m away) and they had no availabilities at the closer place. I had booked the room particularly because it was quite close to the station but now we had a super long walk. Assuming I might have done something wrong when booking and not having any other options, we took the room only to noticed when we got there that it had a SHARED bathroom! On top, the furniture was old, the tablecloth had a big hole, the bed was in fact a sofa bed (see pictures) and the fridge plus boiler were so noisy we had to turn them off to be able to sleep. Luckily we only spent one night. The neighbor we had to share the bathroom with was the most noisy person getting in and out of his room every 10-20 min for the whole night! I don't know what kind of business he had on the streets but this was not a normal hotel guest or tourist. We hardly got any sleep that night. We tried to get a compensation for our wrong room but the hotel was very unhelpful. Showing them screenshots of our booking didn't help. They kept insisting we got the room we booked. Just a total disaster! I feel scammed!

Great location, staff extremely helpful. Close to all the sights in Venice AND a 10 minute walk from the Venice train station. Clean rooms with WiFi and great staff. Will definitely stay here again next time we are in Venice, close to local markets for snacks in the hotel room, restaurants and gelato shops aplenty.

Good cleanliness - fresh towels and serviced daily. It is difficult sharing a bathroom with other rooms however. The bathroom was extremely small and poky, you couldn’t sit on the toilet without your legs knocking into the bath. I’m 5’3 and very slim build so there’s no reason I shouldn’t be able to fit on the toilet without having to sit sideways. The lady on reception was friendly. It does the job but is not luxurious but worth it.
