We LOVED this hotel.  We will definitely stay here the next time we visit Venice.  It was right next door to the train station amid all the hustle and bustle of resturants and shops and the bridge...BUT becuase of the way it is constructed, ( an old abbey) when we were in our rooms, all we heard were the birds in the courtyard.  All of rooms windows open onto a beautiful garden courtyard.  The inside of the hotel is very comfy.  the breakfast was the best we found anywhere!!!  The rooms were clean and pleasant.

 the best part was the staff.  they were so friendly and accomodating.  I lost my credit card while shopping and the clerks went into high gear tracking down the shop i left it in. They were friendly ,funny and warm.
