Jag trivdes väldigt bra på Porta da Mar! Jag var i Venedig bland annat för att besöka konstbiennalen och hotellets läge var perfekt. Det visade sig vara ett väl dolt, men mycket personligt och trevligt hotell. Rummet var fräscht och rymligt, med välfungerande AC. Utsikten från de gemensamma utrymmena var fantastisk! Och personalen var verkligen välkomnande och hjälpsam. Området är perfekt om man vill undvika de värsta turistmassorna, men ändå ha nära in till de centrala delarna. Jag återvänder gärna!

Beautiful room with view of canal. The digital key system was okay, but my phone and backup charger died by the end of the day and I had to borrow a charging station at the cafe. Would have preferred a real key. The place has stairs, no elevator, so carrying luggage up the stairs was a bit of a burden. Otherwise, once we got in the room, it was lovely.

The 2 owners are so friendly and accommodating. We cant say enough good things about them.
This is conveniently located next to 2 public \"bus\" (water buses) stops. It is a 5-10 minute walk to the really popular shopping areas. We are so glad we decided to stay here as opposed to right in the middle of everything.

A room with no view

It’s basically just a few rooms you access with an app. There’s a common area with a sofa facing the canal, and a cleaner who comes and goes. That’s it. You get a private room with a bathroom, but this is not a hotel. No place to leave bags, no toilet in the lobby. The worst part: the bed was uncomfortable and the window looked straight at a wall. Came all the way to Venice to open the window and see a wall. Horrible. Also, it’s listed as part of the VIP/Gold perks, but nothing was offered or provided for that. I won’t be coming back and will complain about this “hotel” being included in the program.

The property was great but the staff were confusing. They sent an email requesting documents to be sent in order to receive the door code. We sent them and they sent the door code and another document with the code stating that no tax was imposed during the date of our stay. After checking out we started receiving texts saying we never submitted our documents or paid the fees. They were very rude and unfriendly

This is a great place to stay—within walking distance to the market area, shops, and plenty of restaurants.
Our entire stay was well-organized by Porta da Mar. Barbara reached out to us in advance, provided clear directions, and made sure we arrived without any issues. Although we were initially given a room without a sea view, she was able to upgrade us at no extra cost.
I highly recommend Porta da Mar to anyone visiting the area

No podríamos haber elegido mejor lugar para quedarnos, tienen un servicio excepcional, Marybeth fue extremadamente amable, gentil y servicial, la junior suite tiene dos habitaciones en excelentes condiciones, verdaderamente están enfocados en hacer que el huésped se sienta satisfecho.
Están en Arsenale a escasos metros de la estación para subirse al vaporeto, hay restaurantes alrededor y hasta un sitio de gelatos, no te fijes en que no hay elevador, en realidad la junior suite valió cada euro que pagamos. Si volviera a Venezia sin duda regresamos.

Good choice in Venice

Location is just outside the over-touristy area, quiet and nice. Boat stop just by.
The owner and the woman doing housekeeping is very kind, and service minded.
Big rooms, and very clean.
Be aware that this is not a hotel with reception (as almost every place in the area), so make sure to get the check in instructions in advance.
If ever going to Venice again, I would stay here.
