Dina
The location I think was THE best ! It was a little difficult to find at first, but once we did the man was very helpful throughout our stay. The room was EXTREMELY clean and immaculate, and spacious. I would definitely stay there again
Amado
Hotel was a great location, close to all the activities you’d expect for a tourist destination. Hotel was nice and clean, everything worked well, AC was cold. Our room really did have a window view but it was still ok. Don’t expect a lot of room in these old world hotels, owner said this place was built in the 1300-1400s! But of course it has been updated over the years. No elevator so be aware in case you have difficulties but we were on the first floor. Highly recommend the restaurant right behind the hotel El Vagon Restaurant. Peaceful and great service/food. Owner is Maurizio and he is very accommodating. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. We used a private water taxi to and from the airport…very pricey but worth it as it dropped us off right at the hotel and picked us up there too. The convenience of not having to lug 3 bags and backpacks through town as well as up and down stairs was worth every penny 160 euros. As well as the ride was a great way to see Venice coming in. Take plenty of euros because the water taxis are supposed to take credit cards but they will give you an excuse their machine doesn’t work and ask for cash.

Great location near realto bridge. Quite rustic / authentic Venician property. Hotel unmanned in the evening but access fine via keypad on door. Would stay again.

Wonderful place right next to many things. Would definitely stay here again.
Joel
My wife and I just spent 4 wonderful days in Venice. This was our first stay at Al Vagon, and it won't be our last.
Maurizio the owner, and Adriano his manager, were very helpful, and made us feel very welcomed.
Al Vagon's location is perfect. It is right in the middle of almost everything you want to see and do.
The room was very comfortable, and was kept extremely clean.
We love this place, and so will you.

The hotel was absolutely perfect. A great combination of location, charm, and excellent staff. Thank you so much for hosting us
Megan
Highly recommend. Great location right in the middle of everything. Very close to Rialto bridge. Canal view from my window. Better hotel than my 4-star hotel in Rome.
Sirisha
Easy walk from Vaperetto. The staff were very responsive. The building is very old and the room was very tight for four of us. The interior is very dated, maybe they wanted it to be Venetian but still. There was a funky smell. The bathroom was clean and had enough towels. We stayed just a night. It’s loud in the area. The staff were very kind and let us keep the luggage after checking out.
Rick
Hard to find but a great location. Helpful staff!
Joseph
Our room was a bit small but the staff was friendly and helpful. Location wise was walkable to st. Mark's square and to the train station if you did not have a lot of luggage.
June
The property was charming and authentic. We had a corner room on the second floor with a view of the street from one window and the canal from the other window. Our walk downstairs and onto a small square gave us quick access to shops and a variety of eating places. It was so handy to everything! Checkin and checkout were so easy.
Dominic
The hotel uses a second building for the economy rooms down a dark, grimey side alley, that wasn't what we expected, so check where your room is located when booking. Room was above takeaway shop that worked late and neighbours, similarly were working late, so light and noise impacted the room. The smell.from.the alley wasn't great.
Lakiesha
The room was clean, small but enough for my husband I. The area was very walkable with MANY shops and restaurants surrounding it. The area is pretty loud well into the early hours (at least 1:00 am) but it didn’t bother us. It is a good place for the price.
Tracy
Busy area with restaurants at the base of the hotel so it's very noisy through the night and early morning. otherwise great hotel, very clean
Perry
So misleading looking at the pictures online. When I arrived the door was locked. A man finally let me in. He was rude and unwelcoming. The hotel had a pending charge on my credit card and then charged me the full amount prior to giving me the key. I pulled up the pending charge and he reversed it but wasnt very nice about it. Then he walked me outside and across a dmall square to a dark dirty alley which was where I as a woman traveling alone would have to access. There is no elevator and my room was 3 stories up. No view. Every evening when I used the AC, it drew air from where someone was smoking. It was horrible for a nonsmoker to feel like you were sitting near or trying to fall asleep with cigarette smoke filling the room.
Oscar
Location and price good. Very hot and small

It was good, please note there is NOT mini fridge, I assumed they have it. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. If you are looking for a vintage place this is amazing.
Alexander
The hotel is very well located. It is an easy 20-minute walk from the train station and it is centrally located. The staff was extremely helpful (they loaned us an umbrella when it rained and told us where to find good tramezzini). It is a great option if you want a nice base from which to see the city.
Angelo
Every was great !
Sadie
Perfect Stay in Venice
Amazing location, charming rooms, luggage storage throughout the day before check in, timely service and check in. Definitely will stay again if back in Venice. Be aware there is some street noise (during the day) but it is minimal and expected for this area - shouldn't be too noticeable at night. Did not affect our stay at all and we loved every minute.
Michelle
The room was nice and clean. It was fairly spacious for the 3 of us. The staff were very friendly and helpful with directions and suggestions for restaurants. There is an excellent restaurant directly left of the front door that we ate supper at twice. We even were able to borrow from the hotel staff a corkscrew for a bottle of wine we were gifted. The only drawback would be that room was directly on the tourist walking path, so a fair amount of noise in the evening. .
Angel
We had a lovely room with A/C, WiFi, TV, and private bathroom (the corner shower was a little small, but that seems common around here in older hotels). The bed was perfect-just the right mix of soft/firm. It was clean, we felt safe, and we loved being able to look out the window to see the canal and gondolas. Plenty of shopping and a market literally steps away, delicious food everywhere, and close to the Rialto Bridge. Upon arrival, the host allowed us to leave luggage with him and when we got back from an excursion later, he had taken all of it into our room for us. There was no elevator-but in Venice, there is not much that is accessible or wheel friendly for luggage, strollers, etc. Every bridge you must go up and down stairs to cross.

Pretty Room with a Venice feel, felt a bit old
Our stay was pretty average. I was disappointed that our room was dirty when we arrived with hair on the shower wall. There was also dust throughout the room which made it feel very old. Something that was very nice was the central location in Venice. It was right in the middle of all of the sights to see which made coming back in the middle of the day if needed! Another major issue we found was that the A/C did not work (which is typical in Europe). Due to this we had to open the windows leading to many mosquitos biting us throughout our stay which was super uncomfortable.
Desiree
Nice shopping and dining but very noisy and no elevator.

Great Location/Not the Best Room
The location was very easy to get to from the train station and to the airport waterbus, as well as close to the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Square. The room was not as pictured with less space and missing a bed. The room also had ants.
Ryann
We enjoyed our stay so much. The staff were wonderful and we loved the style/aesthetic of the hotel. Plan on staying here again if we ever return.

Dena
Hotel Al Vagon is absolutely charming! We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. The staff is friendly, helpful and provided great restaurant recommendations. Hotel Al Vagon is perfectly located with lovely restaurants, cafes and a gondola stop just steps away. It’s a short walk to the Rialto Bridge and transit stop making it very easy to navigate the beautiful city of Venice.
If a charming, old world style hotel overlooking a canal is the experience you are looking for, this is your hotel!

The location was great. Pillows and hair dryer needs to be updated. Shower is extremely small. Loved having the little market around the corner and lots of options for food. I was looking for clean, safe and location and it checked all those points.
Kristin
Hotel was clean but quite outdated. Staff very helpful. Bathrooms very small. Someone above us was very loud dragging chairs on floor. This is just good enough to rest your head at night.
Michelle Myhanh
Nicely located. Easy access to everything. Excellent window to keep the street noice down but no match to the daily garage removal noises that start around 6:30 & last till 8am. No issues for early risers. Early start is great.
Martha
we love the hotel, even that it was for 1 night my family and I got in love with the place. I really recommended it!
PAULA
When we arrived the person on the door seemed grumpy - I’d had problems before we even arrived because, even though my receipt said “ pay on arrival” he cancelled our booking and I had to rebook it through Expedia. He barely spoke to us. Our room was in an annexe down a dark and dingy alleyway and up a lot of stair - I’m disabled. The room itself was ok. No waste bin in the bedroom, only the bathroom. However, the location was very good and central.

For Jewish community:
We stayed for Shabat and the owner was super helpful. The room doors are regular keys, and since there’s Eruv…you can take it with you.

Room is too small even for only 2 people. Aircon not working properly. No english speaking tv channel. No elevator
Norbert
Excellent Location literally few minutes from the Rialto Bridge. One of the best breakfast coffee “Farini” the next door to the Hotel reception. Gift shops, and convenient shop near by. The room furniture in “Venecian style”. Modern clean bathroom. The wifi in the hotel is occasionally, sometimes just usable, sometimes crap. Luck necessary for a life. Your best choice to strolling by the Grand canal or on the St. Mark place because you can not be slept in your room till midnight about the fruit juice bar under the hotel. 😉😬
In nutshell; absolutely worth the money you paid, and even much better than you expected from a one star accommodation.

Nice stay in nice area of Venice
We got sooo lost trying to find this hotel, but once we did it was a wonderful place to stay! Clean, quiet, and in the middle of the city near the Rialto. We only stayed one night but very much appreciated the air conditioning and their willingness to keep our bags for us the morning/early afternoon after our stay. Would use them again.
William
Very nice stay. :)
We had a nice stay here. The location was great - close to so much! The room could be updated, but it definitely had a Venice vibe, being a little less modern. It was very clean. We did hear some club/party noise on the Saturday night that we were there so if you want a really quiet room, perhaps ask for one that is not in the front of the building?
Verified traveler
Nice small hotel where you can stay in.the front desk guy was very nice taking our luggage up to the room and giving us tips where to go,restaurants all around and close to ponte rialto.

Air conditioning problems-hotel staff very helpful
The hotel is located in an amazing area in Venice, it is very clean and staff are extremely friendly.
Unfortunately, my review is not 100% positive because our air conditioning system was broken and we had to wake up several times during the night to empty the water collected inside (from condensation). In this way, we had 3 very tiring nights and made our trip less than ideal.
However, the staff was very helpful and they tried to fix it right away, but unfortunately those attempts did not really work. The manager was very empathetic with us and said it will reimburse part of our payment. That made us realize they really care for their costumers.
So, unless you are unlucky and get a room with a frail air conditioning system, I see no reason to highly recommend Al Vagon if you are staying in Venice with your family.

Great location
Great location, nice owner and family. Room itself is dated, no amenities other than a mini tea kettle. Our room was on top of a bar which was noisy at night.

Great Location, Nice Workers, But Old
The room was very clean and roomy for four people and the bathroom was equip with bidet, toilet, shower, and hair dryer; however, the only two problems I would have to note is that the room with the furniture and decorations were very old and timey and also there is no elevator so you have to lug your luggage up a flight of stairs by yourself. Other than this, it was a very good location and the front desk people were helpful and could speak good English unlike other hotels in Italy.

Nice place for price!
Fantastic location! Close to Rialto Bridge and San Marco. Comfortable room.

Nice Hotel but a lot of noise from a smoothie bar
This hotel is located in two buildings. One building is next to a side canal, the other kitty corner from it. I requested a room overlooking the side canal, but for what ever reason I received a room in the annex building. Maybe it was because I needed a triple room.
At any rate, there is a fruit smoothie bar at the corner of the main building of the hotel. It is the only smoothie bar as far as I can tell in Venice. They play their Caribbean/pop music too loud, and I could hear it at midnight in my room with the windows closed, which, by the way, was not that close to the smoothie bar. I spoke to the hotel staff about the music when I checked out, and I felt better after they told me it was an ongoing problem and other customers had complained about it also. They said they are trying to tell them to turn the music down, but the establishment is apparently only sporadically cooperative.
The other issue we had was even though the property is non-smoking, the patrons in the room next door smoked and the smoke was some how channeled into our room via the air conditioning duct. No doubt the smokers were the amount of smokers in Europe annoying people with their cigarette smoke is beyond disbelief.
These two issues aside, it is a good hotel in a good location in the center of Venice.

Amazing hotel if you're looking for something right it the centre of Venice, literally a 5 min walk from Rialto Bridge, lovely little room, decor a bit dated but still nice! Would definitely recommend!

4 nights - great location - very clean

Room was clean and adequate. We requested a quadruple room and could barely walk between the beds. The location was great with easy access to Rialto, San Marco, and vaporetto.

I will come again it was a great experience. All we met were very friendly. We had absolutely no complaints

Venice with kids
This was the first time in Venice for me and my kids (8 and 11) but second for my wife.
Briefly: close to Rialto bridge (though tricky to find) hotel restaurant was one of best meals in town, location is perfect, staff was friendly and helpful, beds were comfortable.
Extended:
The Hotel is located just north of the Rialto bridge meaning, take whatever mode of transportation you want to there and walk north. It's hard to find but once you do, it's not hard to re-find. The location is excellent and its surrounded by everything. It's not loud/noisy as it is a little off the beaten path.
The room is typical for hotels I've been to in Europe. For four of us, there was a double bed and two small singles for the kids. One bed was less than perfect but all of us slept well. Bathroom was clean.
Venice is a tourist town especially when it comes to food. It's gorgeous but the food is not what you'd expect. Except the hotels restaurant is great. We enjoyed it greatly and would go there even if you don't stay at the hotel. It's located right on a canal and isn't overly expensive.
Highly recommend this hotel. Just use the GPS or ask people a lot to find it the first time.

We loved our stay at Hotel Al Vagon. While our room was over the juice selling place, we were not disturbed by the noise and my husband is a light sleeper.
The staff at the hotel were all really helpful and cordial.
We loved the cafe closed by they recommended for our breakfast! Really nice tiramisu there too :)

Owner was very helpful including carrying bags up three flights of stairs. There is a chair lift on the staircase which we didn't see in motion, but assume works for those who need it. Wonderful fresh fruit smoothie place just around the corner and on-site fine dining restaurant at a decent price for Venice. GREAT location!
