Pleasant stay

Perfect location away from the many people who visit. Receptionist was accommodating when i arrived at 9 AM. I was able to leave my bags to explore until my room was ready. When i returned he brought my bags to my room while i was gone.
Plenty of restaurants steps from the hotel. Easy to get to from the water taxi stop from the airport.
Enjoyed the breakfast.
Happy to stay here on another visit to Venice.

The room looked recently renovated and it felt like a brand new hotel from the room. The location was great and very walkable, in a local and authentic part of Venice.

Expensive for the quality

The location was good- away from busier areas but still well connected to other services. Late/after hours check in was easy and straightforward. The advertised rainhead shower didn't work, its nozzles encrusted with age. The hand-held attachment did howower but it was also encrusted and uncomfortable. The tap to control temperature and water pressure was, I suspect, long broken. The advertised 'down' bedding was in fact polyester fibre. The shower space leaked with puddles soon forming on the floor. The poorly applied 'Ventian' touches (gold trims for example) to inexpensive and poorly built furniture was a little unnecessary and added to the misleading and overall poor shower offer. The hotel was contactable via WhatsApp (their choice) but was unwilling to act or offer much support for the above issues. Despite this the room felt clean and was not uncomfortable.

Boa opção em Vemeza

Goste muito de forma geral da hospedagem. Só me incomodou um pouco, ter ficado no prédio anexo com escadas para acessar os quartos. Entendo que o café da manhã também deveria começar mais cedo, só tem inicio às 08.

Great View out to Canal

Really enjoyed this hotel. Great location, 10 min walk to station and bus station. Lots of shops and food places around two great pizza places within 2 min walk. A very cheap supermarket in the alley next door. Room spacious and clean, hot water, great view to canal. Fridge and safe and bottle of bubbly in room. Staff friendly and helpful, map given on arrival. 20 min walk to main square. TV had several english movie channels which was a bonus and great WiFi. Would definitely return. Area is safe and quite tucked away in a courtyard and you can enter with a code.

Good value in Canareggio

My only complaint: the room featured a small internal courtyard-facing window which delivered very little natural light. Despite this, the price was fair, and I would stay again. The location is very close to the first vaporetto stop for the airport which is a big plus. The room was ample in size.

I would not recommend this property. We did not feel safe here. The lock to get to all the hotel rooms did not work and there were people waiting outside the gate, that clearly didn’t have a key, to get into the hotel. The bed had dirt on it and there were massive cracks on the floor that you could easily trip up on. You could hear every single conversation from the hotel room next door and whenever someone used the bathroom it was very loud so it would wake us up.

A very well located hotel, friendly and knowledgeable staff, clean and well presented. The hotel is in a quiet area of Venice situated down in a small courtyard off the side canals. Well located in the area for traditional Venetian/local food and wine, positioned conveniently from all of the highlights of Venice, no more than 15/20 minute walk to the Grand Canal and St Mark's Square and the Rialto bridge. If staying i would recommend asking for a room as far from the main door as possible, our only let down was to have the closest to the main door to hotel, therefore a continual buzzing and banging in and out of guests at all hours, let the stay down in a minor way, i wouldn't hesitate in booking again but would bare this in mind when booking. Otherwise well worth the stay, visit, cost of the room are all worth it. A lovely stay

Lovely small hotel situated in a quiet residential courtyard, only one street away from the main shopping street but a million miles away in terms of peace and quiet.
The staff were exceptionally good, friendly and helpful with excellent local knowledge and advice.
The room was beautiful and the bed really comfortable, we slept so well.
The street directly outside has a really good selection of restaurants, bars and a great takeaway pizza spot and there’s a lovely Spar in a converted theatre minutes away where we bought fresh croissants for breakfast.
We would highly recommend this hotel especially if you like a peaceful place to stay that’s also close enough to all the shops and restaurants.

The window had a view to nothing( brick wall) but then we hardly spent time in the room.
Breakfast was good, all the normal stuff,cereal, juices, bread, fruit, coffee,plus you filled a choice sheet daily for ham's cheese's,toast,cake, pancakes, bacon, boiled egg, pastries etc.. as much as you wanted. Last morning we departed at 4.30am & we got given a pack up breakfast for our journey 😀 all in all 10/10 happy and would return.
Walking distance to all the main sightseeing places, hotel is right where the locals are. Real venice!
Bars, cafes and restaurants right on the doorstep.
Railway station 20 mins and bus station 25 mins away. 😀

The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was very compact, with a very small bathroom. I question the attention to detail in cleaning as we found a purse left by
a previous guest that was quite \"dust laden\". The breakfast offering was quite adequate.
Comparatively speaking I felt it was overpriced to other accommodations we booked in Venice, that were quite lovely.

This is a very charming small hotel off the beaten track in the Cannaregio district. All the staff are absolutely charming and very helpful. My very spacious bedroom was wonderfully quirky, with a small window opening almost at canal level! Unfortunately I did not feel comfortable leaving this open at night and, with the other larger window too high to reach, I had to have the air conditioning on all night but luckily it was not noisy. The bed was very comfortable but was two single beds pushed together so you have to be careful not to lie in the middle! Everything was very clean, especially the well-equipped bathroom (lovely big bath towels!) and I had no worries about Covid-19. Sadly, this has meant a few of the amenities not being available at the moment, which were not altered on Expedia, such as no tea and coffee facilities in the room and no buffet at breakfast ,with a reduced menu (no fresh fruit offered). Breakfast is served at your table and is a fairly limited selection of cold items plus tea or coffee. However, the Misericordia canalside has many little cafes and shops offering tempting treats. There is also a small supermarket down an alley beside the hotel plus the bigger Despar in Teatro Italia only a few minutes’ walk away so it was easy to fill the empty minibar fridge with a few essentials. In fact, this hotel is admirably placed for walking almost anywhere in Venice in a relatively short time (twenty minutes to the train and bus stations).

Great stay in a great location

An amazing location and stay, with very thoughtful and accomodating staff. The building is tucked away in a residential square, allowing a peaceful night's sleep, and the rooms are plenty large enough with all the mod-cons needed for a comfy city stay.

The complimentary breakfast is excellent, with views over one of the many canals. The only slight drawback was the number of mosquitos that were present during October, a particularly tricky time as the staff sympathised. They were very helpful in providing tips around the city, tours that you could book from the location and also how to get rid of the bugs! Would stay again, thank you!

Unfortunately when we arrived it was a bit warm (70 degrees F or so) and they had apparently turned off all the air conditioning in the building and it couldn't be turned back on (?). We had a room with a lofted bed above a small living area, so it was about 85-90 degrees F up in the bed area. It was very hot and uncomfortable and I ended up sleeping on the loveseat downstairs on our honeymoon! Nice location though, and breakfast was fine (nothing to write home about but good coffee). Bed was not super comfortable.

Excellent stay!

Hotel is small but very clean conveniently located and short walk (13 min) from the train station or approx 10 min from Grand Canal, comfortable beds and hosts were very attentive and so helpful at suggesting us places to see and do. They advised to rent gondola away from Grand Canal which was great idea since it was no traffic (yes water traffic) considering that the ride is only 30 min who wants to spend that time trying to navigate between water taxis and other gondolas so we used their advice and rented gondola on the spot during the day in a quiet place it was a great ride. Great experience!

Pleasant weekend away!

The first room we were given smelt very very bad but we were moved to a new room which was lovely, it had two floors!

The gentlemen on reception were lovely and the location of the hotel was perfect. Just 10 minute walk from the train station but 25 minute walk from Rialto/San Marco etc.

Only criticisms we had was the room wasn’t perfectly clean, there were black hairs in the bathroom. Also the breakfast is continental style, possible improvement would be bacon!

Overall we enjoyed our time in Venice, Will day though if you have difficult walking you may struggle in Venice!!!

Lovely hotel in a quieter part of the city. There are still plenty of great restaurants within a few minutes walking distance however and being away from the touristy parts of Venice they are much more authentic and reasonably priced. Venice being the size that it is, St Marks Square etc. is within easy walking distance. Rialto Bridge is less than 10 minutes walk away.
Breakfast was help yourself European type buffet and was plentiful and fresh. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

Pros
Great location, easy to get to from airport and can walk to train station.
Charming and helpful staff.
Cons
Mezannine floor in our room was a good use of the space but poorly delivered. Steep and dangerous stairs made enough noise to wake up the whole neighbourhood, let alone my sleeping wife! Its only a matter of time before someone falls down them at night.
Room was also very dark.
No public spaces.

Overall, not a relaxing room to stay.
