Venice Hostel review: Residenza Santa Croce

Stayed Oct 16-17
Location – apartment transformed into small hotel, not the same address as the main office, 2 floor. Nearby railway station and bus terminal, however quiet and safe. Far enough from San-Marco and the other points of interest: you have to go on foot about 30-40 min or take a water train (6.5 EURO one trip or 16 EURO 12-hour ticket)
Cleanliness – our room was clean but ugly smoked. When I applied to reception at the main office they told me: That is impossible! No any apologies. So, we had to solve that problem ourselves and slept with the opened widows both nights.
Facilities – our room named “Giotto” was large with two windows. There were small TV and refrigerator, no conditioner. There were no shampoo and soup in the tiny bathroom. The bed linen was white; they change towels once per 3 days. No breakfast.
Service – personal at reception spoke English and Russian, chambermaid at our facility spoke Russian. There is cable access to Internet at the main office (you need to have your own notebook to use it).
Value – not bad, however, next time I would like to find something better for 97 EURO per night.

Rome Hotel review: Hotel Tokyo

Stayed Oct 9-11
Location – crossroad from railway station: not quiet, criminal surrounding. 6th floor, elevator works until 11 p.m.
Cleanliness – dirty walls, mould around the tank, and unpleasant smell in the bathroom. However, the bed linen is white and fresh, towels changed every day.
Facilities – room is pretty small, no refrigerator (was included in our room-price), TV did not work, and conditioner was turn on only after pressing ask. No access to Internet.
Service – personal practically did not speak English. Breakfast (donut and tiny cup of coffee) at the nearby café.
Value – not match the service. Definitely I don’t recommend that place to stay.
