Hotel le Boulevard

Good experience with this hotel, staff are helpful.. Clean room and good breakfast. Will stay here again.

It was a nice experience overall. There is a €3.60 city tax per person per night that's added on and can only be paid in cash which was inconvenient. There is tea/coffee provided in the room, however, they also charge to refill them if you use any. Breakfast is an extra €5 per person and breakfast lasts less than 3 hours (7am-9:45am) which is a bit inconvenient if you want to sleep in or if you have to get up early. The desk staff is moderately friendly. When we first arrived they weren't too friendly but the evening and check out attendants were nicer. The room is pretty small and really only enough room to eat around the perimeter of the bed. The bathroom is decently sized, however, the shower didn't have a door so water pools out onto the floor unless you huddle close to the shower head and even then... The TV is very small and not easily seen if you are vision impaired. My biggest complaint, however, is how hard the bed was. There's little to no cushion on the mattress. I woke up both mornings I was there and had back and hip pain (I'm 28 yrs old in relatively good physical condition). It is close to sleeping on the floor. There was a closet with a nice amount of space to put our things. There is also am elevator to access the floors which was convenient on days that we walked a ton. The lobby is nice and clean and has some seating areas. We did not explore the bar or breakfast areas. The hotel itself is located near the water bus station for easy access to Venice. It is also on a ***** of shops and restaurants. Granted most things on the island of Lido do close early and a lot of them are temporarily closed but still marked as open on Google maps. Plan accordingly and call places ahead of time. I've included pictures of the bathroom which was overall nice, however, I didn't take pictures of the bedroom as it was small and hard to get a good angle.

Frankly had to take a flyer on where to stay as it was my first time in Venice & didn't really know the lay of the land. Obviously need to use the water taxi system to stay on Lido to go to the main island of the city to see the "sights", etc.-this place is in a great location on Lido just a couple of blocks from the dock & near a few restaurants as well as a good grocery store less than a 5 min. walk away. Room & bathroom was spacious & well appointed-had a classic Italian feel to it. Good sized mini-fridge as well. Breakfast was serviceable & overall staff were pleasant. Not a bad option if one doesn't want to break the bank in Venice.

Very nice property. I would stay again
