Hotel Orion

Very Good
Traveller Type: Solo Traveler
  : Great location. Excellent staff. Friendly helpful in every way.
  : I had a nice room, but it bordered the street and so it was noisy. I was also unable to regulate the temperature in the room so it was a bit hot.

Disappointing
Traveller Type: Solo Traveler
  : The hotel was clean and well-situated.
  : 1. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable; I slept around 4 hours per night2. The shower cubicle was tiny, and the shower temperamental (either extremely cold or scoldingly hot...no comfortable intermediate).3. The hotel did not permit guests; i had a friend staying in a hotel 20 minutes away, they were asked to stay outside and not permitted into my room .4. The hotel required me to return my room key every time I left the property.5. The air conditioning barely worked; I was placed in a room on the 4th floor, which was pretty warm, especially at night.

  : Very nice location, 2 minutes walk to the pl. st. Marco.
  : Were in a big room on the 1st floor, theres a jewelry store downstairs who turns on music from 9 am to 9 pm. We can hear it so clearly that its like in the room. So we try not to stay in the hotel during this time, which is a shame.

  : The location was great, the rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff were really friendly. They made sure we had rooms next to each other.
  : Nothing, its a great little hotel. Worth noting no lift if stairs an issue, we were happy though.

  : Very nice location. It was clean and enough. People were so nice to us.
  : There was just little noisy; but it is also acceptable because of the location.

  : Very clean, very central, lovely staff. Authentic old building. Excellent shower pressure, good towels and plenty of hot water.There are lots of stairs and the bathroom is very narrow, so if you are a quite large person or have mobility issues, its not for you.
  : Some proper cups or glasses would be better than the disposable plastic ones that crumple in your hand. Otherwise, fine and what would be expected from a 2 star hotel. There is a bit of noise which is mostly mitigated by closing the shutters and windows. Church bells next door are muffled at night but loud in daytime.

  : We were out all day so really needed just a base to explore from. This hotel meets that requirement very well, being within very easy walking distance of St Marks and the Rialto Bridge. It is rated 2 star and certainly met our expectations as such - clean, comfortable room and good choice at breakfast. Staff were very friendly, always smiling. As other reviews mention, it is an older building so there is no lift so if you are on a higher floor you need to be prepared for stairs after a long day in town. Breakfast room is on the second floor. The breakfast room is quite small so they do ask you to estimate when you might want breakfast but there is usually space. Usual continental options available for breakfast. The bathroom was small, tucked into the eaves, but perfectly adequate with a small shower. There are no communal areas but there is a small space outside where you can take food (eg takeaway pizza) as they ask you not to take food to the rooms.
  : Breakfast was just as we expected but the same tinned fruit was served every day - they could have varied it a bit. Also the orange juice was not good. It was extremely sweet and tasted like undiluted fruit squash.
