nataasha Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Looking to book a hotel in Venice for the 31st of July till the 1st of August ... This is the only 4* result, with the following amenities: Laundry, Golf, and Tennis.Any idea what this one might be? Not interested in having my first Venetian experience be a bad one ...

nkyoung Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Venice is not a city I'd risk the uncertainty that comes with Priceline and Hotwire. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I think the issue is that the Venice zone is just so large that the location could be just about anywhere.If i were take a guess i'd think the Boscolo Bellnini Hotel is a possibility, but not a lot of confidence in that guess. I'd also check EasyClickTravel and GTA Hotels. Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
LoneStar Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I think the Boscolo could be a good guess. But obviously we don't know.It doesn't appear to be a bad hotel (reviews are good, but not great on tripadvisor) but I don't think "the deal" is quite good enough. I saw it price in the $150s on HOTWIRE. In a thread started by norwegianwife last summer, you can see that there are a bunch of very good small hotels in Venice that have summer promo rates at around 120 Euros. For about the same price, I think the odds of "happiness" are higher with these book-direct deals.I'm thinking of hitting Venice this summer, too, and I may try some 4-star priceline deals. The zones don't bother me because at least they only include the lagoon -- you're not going to get a property in Mestre (on the mainland) if you don't want one. A 4-star in the low $100s -- if that's possible -- might be a deal for those willing to roll the dice. Otherwise, I'll book direct. Link to comment
