Yes, boats leave from Ferrovia, and head to the right as opposed to the left/PSM. However, these boats are usually the smaller, covered models which can be very challenging with luggage.
The 51/2 stops at Zattere where there is another Hilton launch stop. The 41/2 goes directly to the Giudecca but then you do have bridges, etc.
If I were going to the Hilton from the train station would I take the #1 to PSM, no - but then again, I'm not a first time visitor. Anyone can find PSM.
PS: In actuality, if I were a 1st time visitor going to the Hilton, I'd take a water taxi.
