Pros

- Basic breakfast included in the room rate
- Full bar on-site

Bottom Line
Albergo Alla Campana is a family-run, budget hotel overlooking the Brenta Canal in Dolo, a small town directly in between Venice and Padua. The clean property is run by a friendly owner and a basic buffet breakfast is included in the room rate, as is parking in an adjoining garage. Some parts of the hotel have been renovated while others, such as the bar area, remain dated. It’s a good, inexpensive option for travelers who want to be close to Venice, which is a half-hour drive and a little under an hour by a bus, but who don’t want to pay for an exorbitantly priced Venice hotel.

Scene
Simple and clean, though some parts are dated
Built in a cheerful yellow building that sits on the main road of a small village, the hotel is simple and decidedly unfussy, with wood-beamed ceilings that add some old-fashioned charm. There’s a homey space in the lobby with dark blue velvet couches and a cupboard full of china nearby. The breakfast room is orderly and clean, with basic tables covered in burgundy tablecloths. There’s a small bar area that’s dated, its banquettes covered in busy fabric. Overall, the bar is not a great place to dwell, but could be a decent place to unwind with a cocktail after a day of sightseeing.
Location
In the center of Dolo, a small town about half an hour from Venice
The hotel sits on a narrow road across from the Brenta Canal in the center of the town of Dolo in Riviera del Brenta, an area known for its grand villas built by Venetian nobility. There are lots of restaurants and cafes near the hotel and Venice and Padua are each about a half an hour away by car. There’s also a bus stop right near the hotel and the trip to Venice takes about 50 minutes.
Rooms
Clean rooms with basic decor and large bathrooms
The two-dozen air-conditioned rooms at the Albergo alla Campana have simple, dated decor, with loud floral bedspreads, inexpensive wooden furniture, and spartan cupboards. That said, rooms are kept spotless. All rooms come standard with flat-screen TVs, small safes, and hairdryers. Bathrooms are spacious, with green and white tile and small plastic-walled stall showers. Bathroom storage space varies by room. The road that runs right by the hotel can be noisy. Views of the canal from some rooms are truly lovely.
Features
Basic buffet breakfast and free garage parking
A buffet breakfast is included in the room rate and includes bread with ham and cheese, a variety of cereals and fruit, cakes, yogurt, and coffee. There’s also a small bar area where spirits and other beverages are served. Free parking is available in a covered garage. Wi-Fi isn't available in the hotel, but there is a free Internet point in the lobby.
