Closer to transportation than main Venice attractions
The mid-range, 35-room Hotel Olimpia Venice has a rare back garden for in-season al fresco dining and sunbathing. The nearby bus terminal offers access to the airport, but main Venice attractions take some time to reach on foot. Rooms range from small and pleasant to big and elegant; all are decorated in an 18th century Venetian style and have nice modern bathrooms. A free breakfast has a wide variety and Wi-Fi is also free, but some rooms experience noise from the bus terminal.
Scene
A cozy, clean small hotel
The lobby of the Hotel Olimpia is bright and welcoming. A charming breakfast room has checkered marble tile floors, gilded mirrors, and tables with white tablecloths. Breakfast is served here, or during the warmer months, outside in the garden. Tables are also arranged alongside a small canal.
Location
Near the bus terminal in Santa Croce
After exiting the bus from Marco Polo Airport, Hotel Olimpia is immediately visible and a short walk away. This close proximity to the bus terminal is convenient for visitors with heavy luggage. The main Venice attractions are a bit far, but it's possible to reach them on foot; the Rialto Bridge is a 20-minute walk away and San Marco is a 30-minute walk. The hotel is on a small canal, but is also near car and bus traffic (unusual for Venice, where many areas are pedestrian only).
Rooms
Traditional and elegant with plenty of patterns
Rooms are decorated in an 18th century Venetian style, with patterned wallpaper and bedspreads. Some rooms verge on cramped while others have more space. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, minibars, and safes. Bathrooms are more modern, with rainforest showerheads. Some rooms have garden views; others overlook a small canal.
Features
A big back garden and cozy bar
This hotel offers rare green space with its big back garden. During warm weather, it is possible to eat breakfast outdoors or relax in the lounge chairs. Tables are also arranged alongside a small canal for afternoon drinks. A small bar area off the lobby has glass wall sconces, checkered marble tile floors, and a fresco. The free breakfast gets high marks from most guests, and includes pastries, fruits, and hot items.
