Well guys, we've finally caught a break, free internet and free executive lounge at the Prague Hilton, so I think we will be able to catch you up and upload some pictures. We were in Venice very briefly on Sunday, October 19th. We took a train from Rome to the Santa Lucia train station in Venice. Let me tell you, Venice is a happening town! We left some of our luggage at the train station, and I'm glad we did, because the water busses (vaparettos) are very crowded, and you have to pay for eac...

Well we finally arrived in Venice, while I was sad to say good bye to Sorrento and 5 days of perfect weather, Venice is as charming and breathtaking as ever! Our last couple days in Sorrento we had a chance to visit Pompeii which was amazing. The ruins are bigger than any photo, with so much to see and do. I have to say I thought the hoards of tour groups all following along in packs made the place difficult to navigate but never the less, Pompeii is something everyone who comes to Italy shou...

Although the weather was not cooperating, I walked thru the streets of Venice today. A combination of Sunday and the start of the high tourism season, made for huge crowds and you know how I feel about them!! Anyway, the side streets were quite calm and I enjoyed winding my way through them. I did make it to St. Mark's square after a very expensive boat ride (6.50 euros to cross the river). Oh well, my fault for not planning better. Lines, lines and more lines to enter the Cathedral, the Pala...

Despite the rainy weather, I ventured out for one last look at the city of Venice and enter some of the places I had bypassed due to the length of the lines. Of course it was raining and the outlook was bleak - the city had brought out the raised platforms used in case of flooding. Oh well, a new experience awaited perhaps! The line to enter St. Mark's Basilica was quite short, so I started there. The inside is really beautiful but alas no photos to share as it is forbidden - did I tell you ...

Okay so far I've been "Susie Sunshine" about Italy (for good reason) but last night things took a turn. In Florence at the train station last night John set his phone down on top of my suitcase to look at a map as they were calling our train ....we hadn't gone 30 feet when John realized it...to late it was gone. John went to ask the police who were eating cannoli (equivalent to an American Cop's donut) but they chose to not speak English. Most of you know how attached John is to that phone......

My husband and I arrived in Venice for a 2 night stay via train from Florence. We purchased a 2 day vaperetto pass, and headed towards our hotel. It took some time to get there, but eventually we arrived at the Hilton Molina Stucky Venice. We were using our Hilton Honors points, and the room was lovely but the location within the hotel was not ideal (1st floor of rooms looking into a brick wall). The best thing about the hotel is that they have a complimentary hotel shuttle boat to the Zatter...

Since we haven't had the web access we expected we'll keep this short for now and add detail later. Venice was beautiful. City floating on the water is what it looks like. We saw the Piazzo San Marco and the awesome Doge's Palace with some wonderful frescoes. Hung out at Ponte Rialto and took a cruise down the grand canal. We also made it to Murano and checked out the Venetian glass. We even took an overpriced gondola ride. It was a great three nights and the on Saturday morning very early we...

Best view in Venice
If coming in from the airport, there is a waterbus direct from the airport (7 min stroll) to Zattere bus stop right across from the hotel and the Hotel boat will come and get you. Skip the expensive taxi and spend it on dinner! The best part is that this is quieter and cooler than staying in the city itself and much more discrete if that is your kind of thing. Highly recommend it.
Amazing hotel
The room was very nice and the service was great. The hotel even brought up complimentary plums and bellinis to thank us for staying.
The pool and rooftop view was amazing.
The only downside to the Molino is its location- but it was nice to be able to get away a bit from the mainisland in Venice. The hotel shuttle was nice and very prompt.
If you do stay at the Hilton and decide to take the vaporetto there- just make sure you get off at the right stop. Do not get off at the Sacca Fiscola stop. Get off at the Palanca stop
A true 5 star hotel
Hotel is brand new, opened June 2007. This is a true 5 star hotel, beautiful rooms and lobby. Fantastic view from the pool on the top floor.
Hilton Molino Romantic Elegance
Beautiful property, clueless staff
We arrived at the hotel at 7 p.m. and were told that we could not have a space-available (for Hilton gold members) upgrade to the executive floor because we were arriving so late (!) Instead, we were offered free breakfast in the hotel restaurant. That night, because it was raining, we ate in the hotel. The service was terrible, the food indifferent and expensive, and the bill, when it finally came, wildly incorrect. We hoped breakfast would be better.
The next morning, we were informed by the restaurant hostess that our breakfast was in fact not included. My husband had to leave the restaurant, go to the front desk, and was then told by the clerk that no breakfast was included with the room. When he persisted, she finally "discovered" the notation in the computer. And, you guessed it, the same thing happened the next morning as well.
On check-out, the bellman literally got lost on the way to our room and almost resulted in missing our water taxi.
There were some good points. The rooms, while not particularly large, are well-appointed. The hotel is beautiful, and the rooftop pool is lovely--although it closes at 7 p.m. so most people get very limited use if they are out during the day. The water shuttle to the center of Venice worked flawlessly.
This is an extremely expensive hotel and definitely not worth the money at this point.
Very Nice hotel but a bit overpriced
We were amazed to find the next morning that the "Hilton breakfast" cost Euro 40 per person.....we paid a lot of money for breakfast before but Euro 40 seems a bit ridicules (maybe we are out of touch). A small sandwich at the pool will set you back Euro 25. Luckily there is a nice "Coop" supermarket not far away from the hotel where you can buy all you need. People were very helpful in and out of the hotel so you should have no problems getting around.
The rooftop pool has absolutely no shade of any kind. We were told that due to the historic nature of the hotel they are not allowed to put up any umbrellas. You can make reservation for the pool lounges but frankly since it is so hot I do not see people hanging out and laying on these lounges too long.
We discovered a great Pizza restaurant on Lido called (La Spiaggia ) direct on the beach, You can easily take a Ferry to Lido and then number V bus. Get off at via Colombo....ask someone about this restaurant; most of the crowed are Italian. The seafood dishes also looked great (swimming there is great so don't forget your bathing suit!)
Last but not least, we were told that starting this year, there is no such thing as a private beach in Italy, this means that when you go to Lido you have the right to access any beach (of course some places try to discourage access by hiding the road).....in any case, the water and the beach are there for everyone to enjoy.
Kurz und bündig
Wir genossen unseren Aufenthalt wirklich, 3 Tage schien die perfekte Zeit zu sein. Der Shuttle-Boat-Service fährt pünktlich zweimal pro Stunde von 7 Uhr morgens bis 2 Uhr nachmittags. Die beste Mahlzeit, die wir während unseres Aufenthaltes hatten, war im Hilton Aromi Restaurant. Das Essen war hervorragend - jedoch teuer.
Wir hatten die Möglichkeit, ein Wasserboot zurück zum Flughafen mit 6 Leuten zu teilen - für eine Fahrt bezahlt man 120 Euro. Man wird direkt am Hotel abgeholt und 10 Minuten zu Fuß vom Flughafen abgesetzt, ohne Stress.
Wenn man eine Gondel mietet, kostet das 80 Euro für 40 Minuten (was wir nach unserer 30 minütigen Fahrt herausfanden).
Short but Sweet
We really enjoyed our stay, 3 days seemed perfect, the shuttle boat service is a prompt and runs twice per hour from 7am to 2am. The best meal we had during our stay was at the Hiltons Aromi restaurant although expensive the food was superb.
We managed to share a water boat back to the airport which cost 120 Euro between 6 of us, need to pre book but literally collects you outside the hotel and drops you 10min walk from the airport, hassle free.
If you hire a gondola the going rate is 80 euro for 40 min (as we found out after our 30 min ride).
Ein neues Traumhotel in Venedig !!!!! wow
Zur Anreise:
ab Piazzale Roma ( Bus & Taxibahnhof) mit dem Wassertaxi direkt zum Hotel ( kostet aber ca. 80€) oder kostengünstig und auch sehr einfach mit der Vaporetto Linie 42, das ist die grüne Linie 2 Stationen in Richtung Lido bis Zattere und ab da mit dem eigenen Hilton Shuttleboot ( alle 20 Minuten) bis zum Hotel, wenn sie nicht umsteigen wollen fahren sie mit dem Vaporetto 82 (rote Line) 5 Stationen in Richtung S. Zaccharia bis Giudecca Palanca. Von dieser Station sind es ca. 8-10 Minuten zu Fuss !
Das Hotel selbst hat erst am 1. Juni eröffnet, deswegen haben wir eigentlich damit gerechnet dass es noch ein bisschen drunter und drüber geht - dem war aber nicht so ! Der C/I lief problemlos, das Zimmer war super und auch der Rest des Hotels einfach nur beeindruckend - fast schon ein bisschen zu luxoriös für Hilton Verhältnisse wie man sie aus anderen Städten kennt !
Das Highlight dieses Hotels ist der Pool und die Bar am Dach des Hotels von dem man einen Wahnsinns Blick auf Venedig und die vorbeifahrenen Kreuzfahrtschiffe hat. Das war auch mit ein Grund weshalb wir unseren Städtetripp eher zu einem Sommerurlaub am Pool geändert haben, Sonnenbrand inklusive :-) !
Es gibt ein eigenes kostenfreies Hilton Shuttleboot das alles 20-30 Minuten vom Hotel aus über Zattere zum Markusplatz fährt.
Die Outlets ( Restaurants,Bar..) sind ein wenig überteuert z.B. Hilton Burger mit Pommes kostet 28€, ein Vodka RedBull 14€ und sie sollten schauen dass das Frühstück in ihrer Rate inklusive ist, da es sonst mit 30€ bis 40€ , bei Prosecco Frühstück mit 70€ pro Person zu Buche schlägt.
Das einzige was ein bisschen Schade ist - auch dieses Hotel ist schon von übergewichtigen ungebildeten Amerikaneren belagert die gerade einmal wissen das Venedig in Italien liegt !
Alles in allem würde ich dieses Hotel jedem Bekannten/Freund empfehlen und auch selbst wieder hinfahren.
Beauty and disaster
Generaly hotel looks nice and have wonderful rooftop bar and pool. Because of quite remote location shuttle service is convieniente and noise is limited. Buffet breakfast was plentiful as well with wide offer of fresh fruit. But here good things stop.
Rooms did lack simple things like glases or sink towels. One of our group had first problem with leaking water, then all night drilling and was refused acceptable room - had to change to another hotel.
Internet charge is exorbitant: 25 euros per 24 h.
Last surprise was on Sunday when we left for airport - it was close to impossible to order taxi, some people waited 1,5 h. We had to overpay 3 times to get in time!
