Nice, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast inclusive with room. Good value. Short 5 min walk from water-bus stop. Front desk, Marco, was super helpful and really made our stay more comfortable; lui è molto bravo! 5 minutes from local piazza, bus stops, trattorias, grocery stores (3) and shopping. Great barber just off piazza near grocery store COOP. Marco recommended Ristorante Gran Viale - (locals eat there) - exceptional! Pasta Carbonara was very good and Insalata Caprese was wonderful. Hotel Rigel was built in the 1960's and retains a unique charm. Staff is attentive and accommodating. Ask for room with furnished balcony, makes for nice dining alfresco after a long day of site seeing in Venice. Cool breezes, nice neighborhood. In summer expect Wisconsin-size Mosquitos! We'd stay again and again! This place will not disappoint. read more
