Arriving in Venice
Hotel Nazionale is 7.4 km from Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE), where Alilaguna water buses and land buses serve the city. Venezia Santa Lucia station is about 0.2 km away, roughly a 5-minute walk. Venice has no roads for cars: arrivals park at Piazzale Roma or Mestre and continue by vaporetto water bus, water taxi or on foot, and luggage usually crosses at least one stepped bridge. Italian cities charge a tourist tax (tassa di soggiorno) per person per night, collected by the property rather than included in the booking total; the rate depends on the city and the property's star rating, and many properties still take it in cash.
Across 494 reviews, Hotel Nazionale holds a 3.9/5 guest rating. The strongest themes are the location, the staff and the cleanliness of the rooms, which come through as the property's clearest strengths. The overall score suggests a solid, dependable stay rather than a polished one, with service and upkeep doing the heavy lifting.
