We loved our 15 night stay at Hotel Orion! The location was so convenient! The front desk staff were all very kind, friendly, and extremely helpful! We were so impressed with Elena! Elena was a real blessing giving us so much help with directions, activities, restaurants, tickets, etc on our first trip to Venice! We left our quiet Hotel Orion room and were in St. Markās Square in minutes! We loved starting and ending our days at San Marco square listening to the live music being played at the restaurants in the square and admiring the amazing architecture of the buildings in the piazza! The room was pretty and always very clean. We slept well each night due to the shutters on the windows which made the room quiet and dark. The bed was comfortable and we had a private bathroom with a shower. The room was in an annex a few doors down from the hotel and was up a short flight of stairs. We had no problems during our stay. We felt so happy that we had selected Hotel Orion and had met the kind people who work there! They made our trip very special! We recommend this hotel and hope to return there someday.
