HOTEL ALA OR AL GAMBERO
 

I apparently have a choice. which would you choose for convenience, safety and beauty <BR>for solo traveler? <BR> <BR>Thanks <BR>

Sandra - give us a hint - which city?

Al Gambero...ask for a room on one of the upper floors. Venice is very safe; I have been there alone and wanted to chat but never felt afraid. <BR>

Sorry - both hotels are in Venice. <BR> <BR>Thanks for the recommendation. <BR>

Good morning, Sandra Have not stayed at the Al Gambero, however have stayed <BR>at the ALA about three times in past <BR>years. It is a three star hotel with <BR>77 rooms, without ristorante, located in <BR>the campo Santa Maria del Giglio. It is <BR>about three blocks west of the Pza S. Marco, as said set in a small square, that leads directly to the vaporatto <BR>stop, Giglio and also has a very good <BR>ristorante to the right as you go out <BR>of the hotel, the Giglio. <BR>Another good one in the area is toward <BR>the Pza S. Marco about a block and that <BR>is the Da Raffaele, the calle runs from <BR>the Pza S. Marco west to the Campo Santo Stephano, there branching out going to <BR>the Rialto and to the Accademia. <BR>Here are a couple of URL's on Venice <BR>www.sanmarco.hotels.com/ <BR>www.actv.it/ingelse/preservizi.htm. <BR>www.veniceinfo.it/ <BR>www.hotelala.it/ <BR>Good surfing, Richard of Hickory Hills,Il
