Alloggi Marinella

Hotel review

Normally we stay in an apartment when we're in Venice, but last fall, we needed a hotel for two nights before an MSC Eastern Mediterranean cruise. We wanted to be within a stone's throw of the Piazzale Roma, where airport buses and taxis arrive from Venice Marco Polo Airport, and where we could catch a free shuttle bus to the Venice Cruise Terminal.

After weighing our options (see our Venice Cruise Terminal Hotels article), we settled on the Alloggi Marinella, also known as the Locanda Marinella. The first-class inn (roughly equivalent to a three-star hotel) is just across a bridge and a few meters down a quiet side street from the Piazzale Roma, and we were able to reserve a double superior room with a private patio at a discount rate through Venere, our booking partner. (See Venere's guest reviews of the Alloggi Marinella.)

Alloggi Marinella on Rio Terra dei Pensieri

ABOVE: The Alloggi Marinella (a.k.a. the Locanda Marinella) is on the Rio Terà dei Pensieri, a quiet neighborhood street near the Piazzale Roma.

Cheryl Imboden at Alloggi Marinella Our two-night stay at the Marinella was extremely pleasant. On the next two pages, we'll show you captioned photos of the Alloggi Marinella and its surroundings, and we'll give step-by-step directions for reaching the Marinella from the Piazzale Roma, the railroad station, and the cruise terminal.

Tips:

The Alloggi Marinella is small, so book early if you want a specific type of room.
The reception staff normally go home in the late afternoon, so let the hotel know if you'll be arriving after 4 p.m.
If you can't get a room at the Alloggi Marinella, see our descriptions of hotels near the Piazzale Roma and hotels near the San Basilio cruise terminal.

To book a room at the Marinella, check for discount rates at Venere's Alloggi Marinella site or visit the hotel's Web site.
