We stayed at Hotel Sant' Elena in April 2013 and after having left my backpack on a ACTV bus, the staff, Frederico and Daniele were very helpful. They called the lost and found numerous times for me because I don't speak Italian. Throughout our entire stay, the staff was very courteous, friendly, and attentive. We stayed on the top floor...

Our first visit to Venice and we selected this hotel for it's TripAdvisor ratings as being quiet. We were not disappointed. It's a relatively small property less than 80 rooms - a converted convent done with class and preserving the cloistered centre courtyard which is now lawn and gardens. Nice, modern, well appointed rooms. Comfortable bed. We asked for a... More

We chose the BW San Elena for our first ever stay in Venice, which unbeknown to my girlfriend at the time of booking was for our engagement! We decided to pay a little more for this four star hotel, due to the number of properties in Venixe with shared bathrooms when you are right in the center. We couldn't have... More

The Premier Hotel Sant'Elena is in a quiet residential area of Venice amidst gardens and green space which is quite unusual for bustling, crowded Venice. The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. The restaurant is quite good, but there are other very good restaurants within walking distance. The rooms were clean and very pleasant.

This location is just enough out of the main stream of city, and in a quiet park setting very much reminding you of the convent it once was. About a 30 minute walk to the Venice proper, and the almost unreal looking structures that Venice is so enchantingly known for. Great breakfast selection. The room we had viewed out over... More

A delightful hotel, with friendly staff in the quiet eastern part of Venice. I would definitely come back, and use this as a base to vacation in Venice. A short walk to San Marco, or you can hop on the vaporetto.

Just returned from 4 nights in this hotel. Distance from centre wasn't a problem as it was a nice walk or short ride by water bus. Didn't like our outside room on ground floor. It didn't feel like we were actually in the hotel! No upgrade available as we were advised the hotel was full. Plenty of choice for breakfast... More

Hotel is a leisurely 30mins walk along the waterfront to St Marks Sq. The vaporetto station is a short walk from the hotel. There are frequent water buses but check your destination before getting on. We bought a 36hr ticket from the kiosk near the station, this price is the same price all over so you will not be ripped... More

This hotel is located a leisurely 10 minute walk from Saint Mark's Square, and it occupies a building that used to be a convent. It's located in a residential neighborhood that is quiet and relaxing. The service is great, the breakfast is very good, and if don't like being in the middle of loud tourist mobs, this is the place... More
