The
Hotel ai Tolentini, a.k.a. the Albergo
ai Tolentini, is a tiny 7-room establishment near
Venice's two main transportation hubs, the Piazzale Roma and the Santa Lucia
railroad station. Despite its convenient location, the hotel is tucked into a
pleasant neighborhood street away from the main tourist thoroughfares.
Although the Ai Tolentini is in the one-star hotel category,
it's clean, it's popular with travelers, and it's an excellent value if you're
on a budget and want a hotel that's easy to reach from airport buses or the
train station.
How to reach the Hotel ai Tolentini from Piazzale
Roma:
On the tree-lined side of the Piazzale Roma, look for
the central path that leads toward the water. A canal is just beyond the
trees.
Continue straight ahead over the stone
footbridge.
Follow the curving path through the
greenery on the other side of the bridge.
Continue past the Hotel Papadopoli and
cross another small bridge just beyond that hotel.
Turn left and walk a short distance to a
small campo (square) with a sotteportego, or covered
passage, ahead of you.
Go through the covered passage to the Calle dei Amai and the
Hotel Ai Tolentini, which will be on your left at no. 197/G with a hanging
sign above the entrance.
