Venetian-style Stay with a Friendly Touch

Venice is a city that is different from the other Italian cities. Even the hotel room we stayed in differed from an conventional hotel room. Indeed, we enjoyed our stay at Best Western Hotel Olimpia Venezia.

Reasons why Our Stay was Uniquely Different
(i) Our hotel was 10m away from a canal. Only the pavement stood in between the hotel & the 'waterway'. In addition, it was pretty close to Venezia San Lucia Train Station. Unlike other hotels, there was no need to incur additional cost in taking a vaporetto. However, to reach our hotel, we needed to cross 2 bridges, walking approximately 500m.

(ii) The room was beautifully decorated. In fact, this was the most beautiful room that we have stayed in so far. The color theme and wallpapers of our room brightened our 2-night stay in Venice.

(iii) The receptionists, porter and waiters were warm, polite & helpful. The receptionist gave us useful information to kickstart our Venice trip, the porter guided us to our rooms before carrying our luggage up, and the waiters readily served us the moment we stepped into the restaurant.

If I was suggest how I could have improve my stay further, I would readily say - give me another 2 more nights so as to enjoy the beautiful hotel in such Venetian settings.
