The
Hotel
Falier is five to 10 minutes on foot from the Piazzale Roma. It's an
attractive small hotel with air-conditioned rooms, free Wi-Fi, a comfortable
lobby, and a garden (but no elevator, which is why it has a two-star rating).
The Campo Santa Margherita, one of Venice's liveliest squares, is only a couple
of minutes away.
How to reach the Hotel Falier from airport buses,
taxis, and the People Mover:
On the tree-lined side of the Piazzale Roma, look for the central path
that leads toward the water.
A canal is just beyond the trees. Continue straight ahead
over the stone footbridge.
Follow the curving path through the greenery on the other
side of the bridge and continue just past the Hotel Papadopoli Venezia to a
small bridge over the Tolentini Canal.
Cross the bridge and turn right onto the Fondamenta
Tolentini. Walk to the next corner.
At the corner, turn left onto the Fondamenta Minotto and
continue walking along the canal.
The Hotel Falier is just beyond the next bridge, past the
Palazzo Odoni and the Hotel Al Sole.
