Property Description

Hotel Orion is a 2-star hotel in the San Marco district, just 50 metres from St Mark's Square and around a 5-minute walk from Rialto Bridge. Stay here and Venice begins the moment you step outside: the square, the Basilica, the Doge's Palace, the lagoon and the city's most iconic streets are all part of your neighbourhood. Traditional Venetian-style rooms offer a welcoming place to return to after a day spent exploring the city.

Great location in the heart of Venice
Pros:

The location is great. The common breakfast area is an added bonus as there is a small kitchenette where one can make coffee and eat snacks brought from outside.

Pros:

Stanza silenziosa, letto comodo e doccia spaziosa. La posizione è ottima, a due passi da piazza San Marco e dalle principali attrazioni. Una nota particolare per l'accoglienza e la simpatia del personale, in particolare il ragazzo della reception di cui non ricordo il nome, ma davvero cortese e divertente
