Hotel Gardena - A 3-star Venice hotel with canal views and baroque interiors near Papadopoli Gardens

Located in Santa Croce's laid-back university quarter, this recently renovated Venice hotel overlooks Canale dei Tolentini and the Grand Canal. Hotel Gardena occupies a strategic position 5 minutes from Piazzale Roma's transportation hub and Santa Lucia Train Station. The property features rooms with Venetian Baroque furnishings, Murano glass chandeliers, and antique decor, some offering views of San Nicola da Tolentino Church and Constitution Bridge. A continental breakfast buffet, served from 7:00 to 10:30, includes local pastries, organic jams, and traditional Italian cured meats. The Gardena provides amenities such as air conditioning, satellite TV, and free toiletries in all rooms. Within a 20-minute walk, guests can reach Rialto Bridge, the Accademia, and major landmarks like the Natural History Museum. The surrounding area houses bookshops, cafes, and traditional bacari, with the Ca' Foscari University and IUAV nearby.

Pros

Proximity to major transportation hubs including airport shuttles and water taxi terminals

Fresh pastries delivered daily from local bakery, including vegan options

Located in a quieter university district with authentic local atmosphere

Room options include canal views and baroque-style deluxe accommodations

Cons

30-minute walk to St. Mark's Square

Some rooms face the inner courtyard with limited views

“I see a charming Venetian hotel that stands out for its location, a quiet spot just off the Grand Canal and near major transport hubs. Its continental breakfast, served in a delightful garden, appears to be a highlight, and I appreciate that canal-view rooms are available. This seems to be a particularly good option for those seeking both convenience and a touch of local charm.”
