Hotel Olimpia is a 3-star-superior Best Western a few minutes' walk from Piazzale Roma. Best Western calls the square and the station "extremely close"; our walking route to Marittima is about 0.7 miles, roughly 14 minutes.
It's one of the few that prints Venice's tourist tax, €3.50 (about US$4) a person a night, under-10s free. Breakfast is €16 (about US$18) a person if your rate leaves it out.
There's a luggage deposit and a lift, both worth having on a cruise morning. Parking is arranged nearby for a fee nobody prints.
Book it for a straightforward night by the People Mover, and add the tourist tax to your budget before you compare rates.
Book it if
- You want a lift and a luggage deposit
- You're comparing rates and want the tax printed
- You'd walk or ride one People Mover stop
Look elsewhere if
- You want a restaurant on site — it's a bar.
- You need breakfast without a €16 add-on.
- You want parking priced up front.
