Getting to the Hotel Scandinavia

The directions I could find were awful! We got lost and after being awake for 30 hours and trying to find the hotel, needless to say we were cranky. Here is my suggestion: Get off at the Rialto stop. Proceed to the left toward the bridge. Go up 5 steps onto bridge and you are in the middle of the walkway. Head away from the water (don't cross over the bridge to the other side of the canal) on this walkway. This is Salizzida Pio X. This street will take you to Campo San Bortolomeo (there is a man on a horse statue here). There will be a sign that says Sotoprotego de la Bissa (you will see a yellow informational sign that says Querini-Stampalia Foundation). Follow this road that zig zags and tunrs into Calle de la Bissa, then turns into Salizzada San Lio. You will cross over one canal. Turn left onto Calle Mondo Novo (there is a SUVE grocery store on the left). Follow this street over the next canal to Santa Maria Formosa. Tada!
