We were with a group of friends. The staff was excellent, along with the daily breakfast. The hotel is situated near everything. Our room was a bit small, but we would upgrade when we go back. I would strongly recommend this hotel.
I am a travel agent and just returned from Italy. The Ala was by far the best hotel we stayed in. The location is wonderful, a short walk from St. Mark's square. The service staff could not have been more pleasant the and rooms were neat and clean. The two best things were the wonderful breakfast which is included, and the free boat to Murano island. Do yourself a favor...

TERRIFIC HOME AWAY FROM HOME

I've stayed at this hotel three times and each room was different & beautiful. Very convenient location, wonderful breakfast, friendly staff, computer available in lobby. I've sent several friends who also loved the Ala, and I hope to return soon.
We stayed during January. We were lucky to find such a cozy and lovely hotel. The beds were comfortable and the room was good size with a great view. We enjoy happy hour in the bar lounge.....very cozy and warm. Only negative was the service in the bar area and their prices. I would definitely stay here again!
We travel a lot so are educated hotel stayers. This hotel is excellent for any star rating. The location is splendid, the room was larger than expected, quiet, had a fine canal view, was classy and comfortable. The bathroom was large, had great water pressure and very hot water and the air conditioning worked wonderfully. There is even ...

Good Experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/08/05
I stayed at the Best Western Hotel Ala in Venice for two nights in December. The hotel is very clean with a pleasant & attentive staff. The location is excellent, as it's less than a 1-minute walk from the S. Maria del Giglio Vaporetto stop and about a 5-7 minute walk from St. Mark's square.
The rooms are a bit small, but are on par with all the rooms I've stayed in in Italy.

We loved this hotel

Very comfortable with touches of understated elegance, great service and a super location that's very convenient to everything in Venice. Just steps from St. Marks's Square and shops. They provide a very substantial breakfast with plenty of staff to bring you coffee, etc. We had a canal room with a balcony and even though it cost us about ...
As soon as you walk out the door you are in the midst of it all...the Galleria, Piazza San Marco, and excellent shopping are all a romantic stroll away.
