Albergo Marin is located on a very quiet alleyway, just a few steps from the Grand Canal. Just a few minutes from the train station and Piazza Romale, it is a perfect location. Giacomo and family were wonderful hosts, friendly and helpful. They provided great restaurant recommendations, and suggestions for visiting some of the less touristy, but fascinating areas, such as the old Jewish Ghetto. The hotel has an historic, weathered facade, like so many buildings in Venice, but inside the rooms were modern, and the bathroom looked like it had recently been refurbished. Wi-Fi worked great on the room, as well as in the lounge downstairs. Breakfast was substantial and very tasty. We would definitely stay here again, and recommend it highly - great location, excellent value, and friendly service!
