A two star hotel in the Cannaregio district of Venice, Italy

Hotel Ai Due Leoni, Venice

This hotel in Venice (Venezia) is situated in the Cannaregio district of the city, one of the six traditional areas or 'sestieri' into which the downtown area is divided. The Cannaregio district is close to the Jewish Ghetto or Camp De Gheto Novo, Europe's original ghetto, and with many ancient synagogues and the Jewish museum. The hotel is well-placed, near the Santa Lucia railway station and the Piazzale Roma, with the bus and car terminals. The city's main boat lines are all easily accessible and visitors can be at St Mark's Square, (Piazza San Marco), in a matter of minutes.

The Hotel Ai Due Leoni, Venice is a 16th century building with a well-planted terrace/garden at the rear, where guests can relax with a drink after a hard day's sightseeing. The 24-hour front desk is run by friendly staff who can advise you on your stay in the city and there is also a lounge/bar open all day long. The reception can also provide a safety deposit service if you have any valuables you prefer not to carry around with you. The hotel itself does not have a restaurant, but is very close to the Lista Di Spagna, a busy street full of shops, cafes and restaurants.

All of the six rooms are decorated in a traditional Venetian style but have many modern conveniences as well as an authentic feel. For peace of mind there is a security chain on each door and an in-room safe for your possessions. The building is fully air-conditioned for the summer and there are central heating controls in each room for a winter stay. All rooms have en-suite shower and toilet facilities and there is a minibar for snacks and drinks as well as a direct-dial telephone for private calls. This two-star Venice hotel is a good choice for those who want swift access to the city as well as the traditional surroundings of Venice.
