Advantages: Well-maintained, cheaper than central Venice, goos bus links, comfortable, spacious Disadvantages: Variable service, not a very picturesque location
I've just come back from a three night stay in this hotel, which is situatued in Mestre - a sort of suburb near Venice. Having never been to Venice, I really wanted to visit, but travelling with four meant hotel rooms are not cheap and hotel rooms in Venice are especially not cheap. So this hotel provided an excellent solution - a few kilometres outside Venice itself makes all the difference to affordability, and clearly Mestre is working on this principle as there are a lot of hotels there.
ROOM
This one, the Ambasciatori, is four star, and we stayed in what they call a suite. First point - it's not! It is a nice large executive double with a queen sized bed and a walk in wardrobe but it does not have a separate sitting room, so in my book it is not a suite. It has a sitting area in the room separated from the bed by a lattice ...
Advantages: Cheap and cheerful Disadvantages: A short bus ride from Venice proper
We booked a trip to Venice on a whim and a bit of a last minute whim at that. There were three of us travelling which is not necessarily the best number for accommodation, we were on a budget, and we were going in July, peak tourist season. In other words, we had to take what we could get. Venice has a huge number of accommodations but they do get booked up quickly and those that are left, one supposes, must either be hideously expensive or have something wrong with them. For this reason, we ended up at the Delfino which looked like a very reasonably 3* place that didn?t cost the earth.
The hotel is in Mestre which is a suburb just across the water from Venice, and as such is served by taxis and buses as well as a train station (there are no cars or other road-requiring vehicles on the main island because there are no roads ...
Advantages: Haunting lyrics and soulful singing Disadvantages: Only 35 minutes long :(
This album is Antony and the Johnsons first album and is self titled Antony and the Johsons. macca8100 wrote about their second album 'I am a bird now' which is also excellent as macca pointed out.
I feel that I should give a review of their first album because I don't think it is as well known as their followup, possibly due to their second one winning them their mercury music award and being as it is full of guest stars (Lou Reed, Boy George, Devendra Banhart and Rufus Wainright) which certainly lent it some musical authenticity that allowed him to break in to the british market (even though he is british he lives in america and started his career there).
The track list for Anthony and the Johnsons is:
1. Twilight
2. Cripple and the Starfish
3. Hitler In My Heart
4. The Atrocities
5. River of Sorrow
6. Rapture
7. Deeper ...
