Where to stay in Venice

Location is good as is just a few minutes walk across the bridge . You can ask for “porter” service to bring your heavy luggages across the bridge :)

The hotel is very close to the station, and I slept very comfortably. The front desk staff were all very welcoming. Environment: Very clean. The moment I entered the hotel, I felt the comfort typical of Marriott hotels. A very good stay.

The room wasn't very big, but it had everything you needed, including a safe. I stayed on the main island of Venice, and this hotel was very close to the Venice train station—just a short walk from there. The facilities were clean, and the receptionists and staff were very friendly. The location was excellent, very close to train and ferry services.

Pleasant, nice, and clean hotel. Easy to get to, and the service is excellent. The rooms are comfortable and well-appointed. I would stay again.

The hotel service is very good, the only drawback is that there are a lot of small insects flying around in the room. In addition, because the hotel and the train station are on different islands, you have to walk across a bridge that has only stairs but no elevator. Many locals will rush to help you carry your luggage across the bridge, and some even force you to do so. After crossing the bridge,...

The room is bigger than the picture shows. You can open a 26-inch and 20-inch suitcase. There are few breakfast options but the fried eggs are delicious. The hotel is conveniently located. Overall, it is very good.

We had a 2 night stay here and it was perfect. The room was big as there were 3 of us. It also had wheelchair user facilities and front of house Mustafa was the best host ever. Very friendly, knowledgeable and an all round lovely caring man. Thank you for making our stay even better

I contacted the hotel the night before arriving for transportation from airport and Mustafa at the front desk was great to give us directions :) We had an issue with the lock and the key broke One guy at the front desk was annoyed by it however someone else assisted with replacing key the fallowing morning Not ideal room next to dining area where breakfast is served every morning and you can hear...

Fruit, pastrues, pancakes,jjams,meat,eggs,cappuccino Grocery immediately in frint, farmicia, gelato, cafe

The breakfast was excellent and very friendly service! Rooms were clean, very friendly staff, location excellent!

We liked the traditional Venetian style of this hotel.The staff were exceptional in the way they treated & informed us of local transport & dinning options. We loved the central location.

Perfect! Our first visit to Venice and the perfect boutique hotel! Absolutely charming and the staff were over and beyond, even recommending local restaurants. Great breakfast and location! Would recommend to everyone!

If you want to have a good night of sleep, don't book this place. Before 7 am, you will start hearing all the existing noises. It's impossible to sleep with all the conversations, closing windows, cleaning noises, and sounds from people loading and unloading goods from the restaurants nearby.

The room has a beautiful, exotic feel. It's located right in the city center, and the water bus to the airport, as well as water buses for getting around the city, are directly across the street – very convenient. The breakfast restaurant is also lovely.

It was good except they put us on 4th floor. No elevator

This hotel is obviously Old however it is comfortable. I can’t compare it to any of the other hotels there as I haven’t stayed at the others but I will say it has no lift and I was a little concerned how we would get out in the fire. The hallways are long and go round and round like a rabbits Warren. My overall stay was pleasant and the best thing about it was the awesome breakfast. If you do decide...

Great little hotel! Nice breakfast. Easy to explore Venice from here.

Wanderfull location, definitely one of the best in Venice! For the rest it's a pretty old hotel (like all these kind of hotels in Venice), but pretty clean. Breakfast also was very good. Overall recommended.

Room- Stayed top floor #305, I believe it was. Perfect to accommodate the 4 of us. Cute older Italian theme room. Beds were comfortable enough. Shower wasn't as clean and drainage was poor. The windows can open but too hot to stay open. The AC was terrible, we were miserable and so hot, couldn't sleep. Luckily we were there for only 2 days. Some how mosquitoes got into our room. Our body was bitten...

It is expensive, but seems like everything in Venice is very expensive. Location was great, in the heart of the city. Room was a decent size, and in good condition for and old hotel. Only issue was not very clean bathroom. There were hair in the shower. Breakfast was ok, but coffee was very good. Staff was friendly and helpful. Thank you!

This place has a really nice workers. Friendly and helpfull. Hotel doesn’t have elevator to the last floors, meaning you would have to take your luggage by the stairs. Room is dusty because of the tapestry on the walls. Also unfortunetly room was full of mosquitoes. Hotel offers free breakfast, you can get orange juice, make some sandwitches, have yogurt, coffee, small toasts with jams, cereals with...

Ideal location. My room was a little dark, but it was in a traditional Venetian style. Simple breakfast. Friendly helpful staff. They all speak English quite well. It was quiet in my room, absolutely no external noises

A very traditional hotel in a spectacular location, just a short walk from San Marco square. We were lucky to get the room 210, were everything was done in Venetian style, but new and immaculate. We particularly appreciated the newly decorated fabric walls, the gold framed mirrors and paintings. Breakfast was not great, it would be nice to add some fresh fruit and eggs.

Located steps away from St Mark's Square, this vintage hotel offers clean rooms and clean bedding. Reception staff are friendly and helpful. However, breakfast quality is lacking, and kitchen staff seem nervous, especially when ordering extra coffee. Overall, a decent option for its charm, location and price but don't expect a stellar breakfast experience.

Stayed at the Locanda al Leon for three nights at the end of March 2026. The location of the hotel could not be more ideally located. Literally a 3 minute walk to St Marks Basillica / Doge’s Palace. The hotel is closely located to bars / coffee shops / restaurants as well. The rooms are traditionally decorated and quite basic, but lovely and clean (with comfortable bed!) Breakfast was basic continental...

Excellent location, all major attractions are around the corner. Very friendly staff. Clean and uniquely decorated room. The only downside is that the front desk isn’t 24/7 so when we checked in, there’s no help with the luggage for the 3 stories stairs.

What a fabulous little gem of a hotel. Great location just a stones throw from San Marco and five min from rialto. The most comfortable bed! Friendly staff too!

Convenient location. Friendly staff. Really helped us all the way. Would recommend people to book near the train station instead - we spent 30 euros shelving our luggage there. Host was GREAT here though!

Nothing to fault with this Hotel. A real gem. Perfect location, perfect room and hosts. Lovely room with comfortable beds. The room was cleaned daily. Location wise it's perfect for little bistro's, restaurants and little shops. Felt safe the whole visit to Venice. Iron and ironing board in the room with bottles of water available in the fridge. Will be recommending this hotel to anyone who would like...

We’re staying here as a couple and absolutely love this little hotel. It only has nine rooms, which makes the whole experience feel calm, personal and genuinely cozy. Everything is beautifully kept, very clean and well maintained. The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, and you can really feel that they care about their guests. Breakfast is surprisingly good – fresh, tasty and served with a smile...

Spotless amazing room, amazing staff, loved the location and my specific room was a great location as well. Breakfast in the mornings was great!

I highly recommend Hotel Acca. A warm welcome on arrival, the room was quiet and convenient to all tourist spots and restaurants. Breakfast was a great way

GREAT location to explore the city… a bit of a walk to station (especially with luggage), but well worth it. If you get a chance to book it, I’d recommend jumping on it

Beautiful place in the middle of Venice.. all updated.. wonderful new updated rooms beautiful bathroom and great breakfast.. highly recommend.

What an amazing stay for our first trip to Europe. The staff are all so nice and helpful. I was concerned about the language barrier but all the staff spoke fluent English which was a great relief. If we ever come back to Venice, this will be our hotel of choice again. Thank you for making our experience so memorable!!!

tiny and comfortable, i would wish this hotel offer slippers

Clean room, friendly staff, proximity to the Basilica good restaurants and shopping centers. Came back twice. 💛

A great experience in Venice, very centrally located hotel.

Hotel Dell’Opera is absolutely remarkable in the beauty, the service, and the location. Our room had a private balcony, overlooking a small canal. We enjoyed watching the gondola’s go by and walking to great coffee in the morning. Still fancy a drink after the restaurants are closed? Ask the front desk about the Honor Bar on the top of the hotel!

Probably one of the cutest hotels I’ve ever stayed in! The room was beautiful and so spacious and had everything you need. The front desk staff were SO friendly and helpful. And the location was close to everything! Highly recommend.

I booked a family room, so it had a balcony! A balcony facing the canal! You could see boats passing by, a nice experience. The room had a retro feel, and the front desk staff were great. As for breakfast, the selection was too small. If breakfast is rated 5 out of 5, it's probably only worth 1.5.

Fantastic location, very clean room, people are very friendly and smiley. Everything is easily reachable by walking such as Restaurants, branded shop’s, every single house is different and full of history. Gondola ride is in just 50 meter from Hotel and San Marco square is in 100 mtr.  Breakfast is not so worthy.  I would love to come again in this place.

Old-fashioned hotel, spacious room, antique furnishings. Steep stairs, but overall, considering the location and price, it seems like a great compromise.

There’s a small fridge in the room.

The hotel was nice and clean; in the room, there was a mini fridge and an AC, which was handy. The bathroom was spacious and there was toiletries. The only negative thing about the room was the bed; the mattres was too flat and the bed base made a lot of noise every time you turned around/lay on the bed. Breakfast is served at the hotel; it's simple but abundant. The hotel clerks were always super...

The hotel has a great location, just a two-minute walk from the water bus stop. The room is a decent size, but it's older and more run-down than it appears in the photos. There's only a thin sheet on the bed; if you feel cold, you can take a blanket (a bit dirty) from the closet and put it on top of the sheet. Breakfast includes bread, yogurt, croissants, juice, and coffee. The staff are friendly....

Do not be fooled by pictures. The room we had was outdated to put it very mildly. Soundproofing was zero. It felt like someone was peeing right on your forehead... Do NOT book unless you are planning to get drunk beyond ALL your senses.

Our final stay in Venice! Good concierge, really friendly. Location wise also very good and central. Just light walking distance to the basilica and you can see dorsoduro side from here. Room was quite small but ok for a one night stay. Breakfast was quite limited but sufficient and since there was nobody it was only us in the cafe. Good shower. The only downside I can think of is there is no lift...

This was a last minute booking for a spur of the moment trip to Venice from Piran. The location couldnt be more perfect as it was just 5 minutes from Doge Palace. The furnishings was a little outdated but it was completely fine for a 1 night stay.

The location was perfect, cleanliness was top, breakfast was plentiful, hotel in general was showing its age, service at breakfast was very unfriendly.

The hotel left only warm memories! I will definitely recommend it and will use it again myself if the opportunity arises! A very warm, family atmosphere. You feel like you have come to visit distant relatives whom you have not seen since childhood. The room is stylized as antique, but there is no sticky dirt, typical of some old hotels. The bed linen is a delight! Very thick, not at all budget! Everything...

Very convenient location and old fashion hotel. The maintenance can do much better.

The place is ideal for arriving in Italy and leaving for the airport, the bus stop is opposite. The view from the window is 5+ Piazza San Marco is nearby. Warm (!!!) which is important in winter in Italy Not a bad breakfast in their restaurant. Reception 24 hours 👌 Everything creaked a little, and you could hear your neighbors - but for such a price-quality ratio (compared to the prices of neighboring...

I really liked everything, friendly staff, delicious fresh breakfasts, wonderful pastries, fruits and vegetables are always available

We had the balcony room & the view was lovely. The beds were very comfortable (even the lounge bed for the 3rd person was quite comfortable). The included breakfast was a nice bonus. Especially for the price, we were quite pleased.

We spent 4 days in Hotel San Moise. We were satisfied. Breakfast, location, equipment all was ok. Well, one refridgerator wasn't working (we had two so no problem) and air con didn't cool (we visited last week im October so not so important)..

Love love it highly recommended

I really loved my stay here. Staying here felt like I was in a movie. It’s not everyday you get to stay in a 17th century Villa. I was lucky enough to stay in a room with a balcony and it was magical.

The A/C was cold, the room was clean, the water pressure in the shower was strong and came out hot, and the hotel is close to all the action but on a quiet street. Of course, the staff was attentive and responsive. Don’t listen to those people who are giving this hotel low ratings. Some people are just never happy with life. Honestly, check out their other ratings and ask yourself, would I want to...

A very friendly, welcoming hotel. Great location, very handy for Arsenale Vaperetto stop. Comfortable, clean room. We had a view of the canal which was lovely. Good buffet breakfast served each day. I stupidly left my purse behind when we checked out. The staff were very kind and helpful. I was reunited with my purse and contents within 72 hours thanks to DHL and the staff at Hotel Ca Formenta. We...

Small hotel, good location in quiet area, clean, there's a small elevator. Room was a little small but well decorated, the bathroom was small, towels changed every day. Breakfast room is so small, but there is a lot of food varieties. Stayed here for three nights. Staff were always available, professional & speak English.

Stayed here for three nights as part of our honeymoon and it was ideal overall. As good as you can expect from a 3 star hotel. Staff were always available, professional and attentive. Happy to speak english. Located in an ideal spot right in front of the waterfront and a short walk from anything you need in Venice including some quieter green parks to get away from the tourist crowds. The rooms were...

Located on the waterfront in the Castello district of Venice, my partner, our friends, family member, and I had the opportunity to stay at this historic 18th-century boutique hotel at the beginning of our memorable trip in September on Via Garibaldi. Hotel Ca' Formenta is a cute two-story pink facade with 14 guest rooms concealing equally unassuming yet clean and pleasant interiors. Upon entering...

To the Lady Receptionist working on October 15, 2025 at around 21:30-22:00pm We wanted to say a huge thank you!!! Although we never stayed at your hotel, your help when we arrived frustrated and exhausted after our non-existent booking was a true lifesaver! Suggesting and then personally calling nearby hotels to find us a room went far beyond what we expected. We are incredibly grateful for your kindness...

Had a pleasant stay here. Staff was excellent, rooms were well furnished, clean and it is very close to Arsenale ferry point and walkable from San Marco square.

The hotel was good value for money. Everything was there, including functional air conditioning, clean linens, and fresh towels. Check-in and check-out were at the Panda Hotel across the street. Breakfast was simple: rolls, croissants, yellow cheese, ham, salami, jam, chocolate spread, milk and muesli, coffee, tea, juice, and water. This hotel is for the undemanding, and for the price, you can't complain

The hotel is well located, close to several restaurants and bars. It was an incredible experience.

Because it was on the top floor, the room was extremely hot. There was an air conditioner, but it hardly worked. However, it was good that there was a balcony.

The hotel's location is excellent. The price is reasonable for Venice, but overall it seems expensive. The breakfast is of poor quality.

Location was great, room was okay but clean

Great location and helpful staff

There was always hot water and the bed was comfortable enough to sleep in, but ir was to metal framed beds pushed together and not comfortable to share with my partner. No WiFi in the rooms, Tv stuck in Polish so couldnt understand the menus. AC seemed to work when it wanted making the room comfortable about half the time. The bathroom was down a narrow tuled corridor which was slippery when wet....

It was nice hotel but it doesn’t have elevator. The restaurant is not amazing but everything else was okay.

Basic hotel but clean rooms & friendly staff Had been worried by negative reviews but stay was clean & comfortable for the price. Reception staff were perfectly charming, friendly & helpful (not at all rude as others have said). A little worn and dated but overall a pleasant stay.

A good hotel in a residential part of Venice, few tourists, but the hotel itself is very tired, does not live up to its stars, for one night in the summer it's ok

We only stayed 1 night and appreciated the friendly staff allowed us to store our bags until the 3pm check in time. We were not happy with the AC being stuck on 16 degrees all night. We tried to find the control for the heat pump/ac and discovered in the morning we hadn’t lost it- but all the ac boxes are controlled by the hotel and maintenance needs to change it. A very cold night for tired travellers...

This is a 3 star hotel posing as a 4 star, be aware of this when you book. We arrived as a couple on a Saturday afternoon and found out in the evening that neither toothbrushes or toothpaste are supplied in any form at the hotel. This is despite the hotel receptionist telling me candidly all shops are closed past 9pm, so the hotel is aware of this not being a problem to solve via a late night shop...

A good base to explore Venice. Reasonably sized comfortable room. Good, slightly dated bathroom, but powerful shower. Very clean. Continental breakfast was ok. All staff were very pleasant.

The room was too small , it had a stale stench & the breakfast was horrible . The eggs & bacon were the worst I have ever eaten . The front desk was very polite

5 min walk to San Marco Square. Upon arriving Venice, per Google advice I took water bus from S Lucia train station to Rialto, then walked for 10 min to the hotel. Upon leaving as the staff told me I took water bus at San Marco (Vallaresso) SX station to train station, the boat journey was longer but the walking was easier. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Staff are professional and helpful....

The hotel is in a quiet location tucked away near a theatre and only approximately 6 to 8 minutes walk from San Marco square. Some lovely restaurants locally to the hotel. The hotel itself is small, very Venice and elaborate decor which is the norm. The decor does look a little tired, however, it more than makes up for that by the friendliness of the staff. They are all very helpful. I unfortunately...

Excellent hotel 10 minutes from attractions, modest breakfast, but it’s there and that’s a plus

We had a very hard time finding our hotel. The address on google maps and booking is their old address and it took us to a closed hotel. All around the hotel was clean with small rooms.

The gondola station was right in front of me. It was the route that took me over the Bridge of Sighs, which I wanted to ride. The air conditioning in my room was initially broken...I didn't notice for a while and was shivering from the cold, but when I told the front desk, they quickly fixed it. It's just a short walk from St. Mark's Square, and the nearby trattorias and bacaros are both delicious...

So comfortable and place is perfect. There are many restaurants nearby and it's a safe place. Some tours depart from nearby, which was very convenient. I like here's staff.Thanks a lot.

The staff were amazing, room was very spacious, clean and had comfortable mattresses. Great location, close to lots of restaurants.

The room was comfortable, the reception staff were very helpful. The location was close to significant places of interest.

Great staff and hotel is beautiful! Their breakfast was excellent, totally recommend it.

Very well located, clean, great staff, excellent breakfast. Overall great value.

This is a wonderful small quiet hotel right in the heart of San Marco. Minutes from the Rialto Bridge, San Marco Basilica and restaurants and shops. The staff are wonderful...professional, friendly and helpful.

Exposed electrical wires shower was very small I am not a big guy but I had to open the door just to get my bar of soap I dropped you can’t hardly walk around the bed room was very small bathroom wouldn’t fit more then one person in it

It's a bit inconvenient not having an elevator.

This location is very convenient.

Hitel was very nice.THE LOCATION WAS GOOD.The staff and everythink was just perfect.

We booked for 2 nights, once we arrived, we were taken to a room which was absolutely not the superior room we reserved, we told them and we changed rooms. Not very clean, it smells old. But very well located.

Short Venice stay Excellent location, room was wonderful for 3 people. Would definitely stay there again

We loved this hotel. Such a beautiful room (#25) and fantastic location. Breakfast was included and exceeded expectations. The staff was wonderful. Highly recommended.

Our room was very large and well-appointed and very clean. The hotel is steps away from one of the larger canals so getting there was easy. Santa Maria Formosa is across the piazza, and it's easy to get to almost anywhere as it's in the "center of town", if you will. The staff was SO friendly and helpful, honestly it was a magical stay. I can't wait to go back!!

The location is amazing, quiet and a beautiful piazza. It is a palazzo so you feel like you went back in time. The decor is beautiful. I was a little disappointed by the size of the room, the fact that the bathroom wasn't spotless, and no soap in the dispenser. But after that, it was truly spotless. There is not much room to unpack (we stayed 5 nights); a dresser would be great since the armoire only...

The nicest and most helpful people work here. The hotel is centrally located. Clean and modern bathrooms. Wonderful breakfast. Wish I could go back tomorrow.

Our family of four enjoyed our stay at this property. It is in a traditional building (with renovated and modern bathroom of course) in the middle of a popular square. I thought noise might be a problem at night given its central location, but that’s not at all the case, we had the most peaceful and restful sleep. Highly recommended.

It’s pretty nice not the best but still good

The location is excellent, in the heart of the city. It is 15 minutes walking from the train station. The room is okay. It's a bit old but clean. The mattress is not comfortable.

Great stay! The room was clean and comfortable, the staff were friendly, and the location was perfect. Would definitely stay again.

The hotel’s location is definitely its best feature. Being in such a central area of Venice made it very easy to get around the city, and that was what I enjoyed the most during my stay. However, there were a few details that didn’t fully meet my expectations. I wasn’t sure whether the hotel was intentionally designed to look old or if the building was simply a bit deteriorated, but the overall appearance...

The room is clean. The bath facilities looks a bit old. Breakfast is good. The hotel staff are nice.

The room was cute and cozy ,the location perfect, the terrace beautiful with great view , definitely recommended. Also is quite hot in the room.

Ca’ Bragadin Carabba is a great value option in Venice. The room was incredibly large by Venice standards — and even by European standards — and the bathroom was also very spacious, which is a rare find in the city. The hotel itself is a bit outdated, but this does not interfere with the overall comfort or quality of the stay. Everything was clean and functional, and the charm of the building fits...

Our stay at Ca’ Bragadin Carabba was an absolute delight from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel at home the moment we arrived. Their warmth and attentiveness set the tone for a truly memorable visit. The guesthouse itself is steeped in Venetian history—it is famously known as a place where Casanova himself once lived. Every corner reflects a quaint,...

Our stay was wonderful from start to finish. The check-in process was quick and effortless, and the apartment was spotless and comfortable. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and we look forward to returning to Venice and staying here again.

Convenient location near St. Marks square. Hotel staff was very nice and helpful navigating ferry transportation and times as well as navigating the area and sightseeing. Room was clean but a little dated looking. Walls were a bit thin as we could hear people walking and talking through the night. We chose this place as a good place to just rest our heads for the night as it was a quick stop before...

Staff was not available during hours listed on website. Additional visitor tax fees not listed that required cash payment i was not aware of caused me additional fees to pull from ATM. Staff spoke no English which made it difficult to have clear understanding of what they were asking or communicating.

Wonderful hotel. Does not have an elevator. The staff was so kind and helpful. The location near Rialto was nice.

Extremely helpful staff, eased our travel anxiety with their friendliness. Beautiful well maintained grounds.

It was incredible in every way. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful & kind & called water taxis for us & answered any questions we had about the area. They made our 2 nights in Venice much easier as I was traveling with my parents who have some Mobility issues. Our private terrace was so picturesque & perfect for morning coffee or evening wine. The attached restaurant was delicious...

Very charming and clean The staff here is very helpful, friendly, and available 24/7. The location was perfect - close to restaurants and stores, yet it is in a quiet location away from the main road (strada). Their inside restaurant has delicious food and a charming atmosphere - inside and out.

We stayed in the room with the varanda and it was the perfect experience in Venice. I highly recommend.

Beautiful location away from the crowds. Walking distance from everything. Dining options surrounding location. My room had window overlooking a canal. Was such a memorable stay. Felt very safe as a solo female traveler. Definitely recommend.

Great value for money Overall the hotel was pleasant and good value for money. However, we paid for a canal view room and I don't recommend doing so. The canal view was very underwhelming and the buildings adjacent appeared run down and derelict (absolutely no fault of the hotel). If you are looking for value for money this is it. If you are looking for a canal view like you see on tik tok - there...
