Best Stay

This is a wonderfully clean guest house with shared bathrooms that are basic but kept immaculately clean. You are able to catch the airport boat straight to the airport from Arsenale. It is basically a 3 min walk ther from the hotel. The price is excellent and you are quickly into the heart of Venice either by walking or taking the local boat transportation. Added bonus is a gelato shop just out the door and local bars and coffee shops surrounding you as you are close to where the locals live.

Great Value and Great location.

Excellent location along the waterway. Close to the \"Vaporetto\" public water bus station \" Arsenale\". The room was comfortable. I had a sink , a bed, a table, and a closet (do drawer) The price was affordable. The shared bathroom situation worked out very well. The Hotel is located on the 1st floor of the building( in the U.S.A. that translates to the 2nd floor, so there's 1 flight of stairs to climb). Check-in was easy, Thanks to Maria. Overall had a wonderful stay. I would be Happy to recommend Casa Favaretto to family and friends for an enjoyable stay in Venice.

The woman that met us on arrival did not speak much English but she still easily communicated what we needed to know, plus English information sheets were provided in the room. Far location from the train station so we needed to walk a long way with our luggage, but it is close to multiple ferry stops. It is also around the corner from a street with many restaurants that we had good experiences at!

Good value for excellent location & friendly staff

We could not have asked for a better location for the price we paid. Right on the water front with only a 10 min walk to St Marks, great restaurants on the next street and a vaporetto (water bus) stop just outside. The staff running the accommodation are really friendly and has a nice feel to it. Although the bathrooms are shared this was not a problem at all - very clean, very good facilities and never had to wait to use the toilet or shower. Overall this was a great stay for the price - better than I would have expected. Would 100% recommend for the price range and will be coming back next time I am in Venice.

Not practical - Doesn't have good value

I'm not really sure how this property received a good rating. Rooms were extremely loud, as you could hear everything going on in the hallway. And with a shared bathroom, this generates a lot of noise.
Also, having one shower for 5 bedrooms simply doesn't work. Be prepared to wait for a shower in the morning or get up super early! Room was a mix of old furniture with some new elements. Smelled like an old grandparents bedroom. Walls were dirty and a bit beat up. Beds were more like cots and very uncomfortable. They also slid all over the floor, making it very un-romantic for any couples.
I think you're much better off spending a bit more and getting a better setup.

There is a little kettle in the room to boil water, a cup, tea and coffer in special jars, sugar, large fridge for all guests out of the room. Shared show and toilets are very clean.

Pefetto per il Biennale Arte di Venezia

This was a wonderful little hotel for anyone going to the Venezia Biennale. It is located less than 10 minutes walk from both the Giardini and the Arsenale. At night, it is lovely to only hear the sounds of the canal outside of my window. I was working for school while I was here and the wifi connection was very reliable. Paolo does not speak very much English, but he was very kind and respectful. The rooms were cleaned daily and the room was very big for a solo traveler. I felt very safe. Although the shower and bathrooms are shared, they are clean and you don't have to worry too much about waiting because there are only about 6 rooms total in the hotel. If you are on a tight schedule, it might be an issue, but I planned to only go to the Biennale so I didn't worry too much about the mornings. Would definitely stay here again.

A room with a view

First impressions of the anonomous building and austere stairwell were soon dispelled on reaching a very tastefully finished hallway and businesslike greeting of a kindly host. The room was rather basic in furnishing, offering rather spongy beds, a somewhat plastic breakfast and a fan instead of commonplace air con but who needed a TV when we had the ever changing sights and sounds of our waterfront view? The sharing of toilets and bathrooms presented no problems with so few other rooms and we felt comfortable with the high standard of hygiene throughout. Expensive relative to other budget hotels used during our month long trip but this had a refreshingly different feel and we were after all in magical Venice.

Great Location, run by good people

This is an ideal location in Venice. It is very close to the Arsenale dock so getting from or to the Airport wasn't a problem. St. Mark's square is a short walk down the waterfront, so you are close, but not in the middle of the crowds. It was easy to find (which is a big deal in Venice!) and there is a good gelato place next door. Finally, we had a balcony room and it was cool to see the cruise ships get towed out to sea.

OK experience, good location.

My Fiance and I stayed here for 2 nights. We thought we booked a room on the canal, and instead ended up in a room in the back corner with no view. We read that they spoke perfect English in reviews, as we spoke very little Italian we thought this was important. We were surprised when we arrived that no one spoke any English. The older couple that runs the B and B was very nice and the next day moved us to a room with a canal view. There are 3 bathrooms ( 2 with showers, 1 with toilet only) and 6 rooms, so you do share a bathroom. Most of the time no big deal- maybe waiting 5 or 10 min. A community refrigerator to keep drinks/food was a nice touch. The bathrooms were kept really clean. Overall if you want a good location for a cheap price this is an OK place to stay. If you go in with low expectations you will be fine. You are a 10 min walk from St. Marks square, so who wants to spend time in the room anyways?

Cheap and great location

This hotel is just to the right (away from San Marco) of the ARSENALE water taxi stop, on the street near the water, down about 1-2 blocks. It has NO SIGN, so be sure to look at the address numbers as you are walking by. It was a shared bathroom (2), but the room had a sink/vanity, so it was really no big deal. In addition, the room was HUGE by Venice standards, with room for suitcases on the floor. Just around the corner, is a street of restaurants and shops, which are more like a locals' area....complete with a BYOB wine store at the end of the street on the right! Lastly, although no breakfast was included, the great rate made up for it.

I'd definitely stay here again.

Good location

The hotel has a really good location. I would not call it a hotel, though, it is more like a hostel. The wifi was working good in common areas.

Great location and felt authentic

The location of the hotel is great. Really easy to get to from the airport. In a quiet enough spot but close enough to everything you could want. Including a supermarket!

The elderly lady who works there is great and I managed to fumble my way through our conversations despite me knowing only a little Italian. The younger woman who works there was absolutely horrible. She was not friendly at all.

Great location and value

We stayed for 2 nights and really enjoyed it! I was worried because we arrived late, but Paolo stayed up and let us in when we got there. The directions from the website also made it very easy to find which is nice considering Venice is very confusing! It is in a great location, just far enough away from the tourist areas that it is nice but definitely close enough to walk to everything. There is also a Vaporetto station right nearby. Our room was much bigger than I expected, but the \"double\" bed was actually 2 twins put together which made it slightly uncomfortable. We were also right on the canal which was a little bit noisy in the morning, however once we closed the windows it was fine! Also, the shared bathroom was immaculate, but we did have to wait for showers in the morning. Similarly, the towels were pretty worn out. Overall, we felt that the location could not be better for the price we paid, and the cleanliness of the Casa Favoretta made it even better!

Convenient, clean, and comfortable

We enjoyed our 2 night stay very much. The location is excellent, the facilities are kept very clean, and the service was very good. We were concerned a bit about the shared bathrooms but they were not a problem. We would gladly stay here again.

Great Place!

This is one of the best places to stay in Venice if you want a reasonable priced place, a bed to sleep on, a place to store your belongings, and a shower. We were on the cruise ship before we stayed there. We traveled from the cruise ship port on the Alilaguna Water taxi to Arsenale. Then we rolled our luggage over one stair bridge (which had a ramp) to the place. It was a cozy place that had free wifi and very friendly people that owned it. There was one lady that spoke english and one of the showers ran out of hot water but the other one didn't. The Alilaguna Water taxi also goes to the airport which was very convenient. There is a coffee/breakfast place which serves delicious crepes, a gelato place and a one of the oldest restaurants right outside. The place is a 10 minute walk to the Plaza San Marco and the main shopping area. The other way leads to a beautiful park which you can get some great photos at. If I come back to Venice i will defiantly come here again.

Great location

Good location right near Arsenale vaporetto stop - you can get a vaporetto from train station to Arsenale which takes about 30 - 40 minutes. Close to St Mark's square a major tourist destination. Also close to a nice area in other direction where you can find cheaper restaurants and groceries. No breakfast incuded but we bought some groceries and used the communal guest fridge to store our breakfast items. Room was large and clean and had its own vanity/sink and mirror. Shared bathrooms and toilets were always clean. Only problem we had was the hot water had run out one afternoon and was not hot again until the next morning. The people running the hotel are nice and accommodating, and not fluent in English but enough to get by.

Pretty faultless!

Excellent location, away from the crowds but only a 5 min walk from san marco piazza. Was a 2 min walk from the nearest vaporetto stop called Arsenale. Large clean spacious room, bright and airy. Had a small balcony which looked out onto the lagoon, could also see the San marco bell tower from there. Stunning views. The 3 shared bathrooms were very clean and rarely occupied. The owners were lovely but spoke very little English. If you're aged between 18 and 29 buy a 'Venice card' when you arrive from tourist information. It's 4 euros and gets you reduced price travel on the vaporetto, discounts at restaurants, plus good discounts to the main sights and museums. Would highly recommend palazzo ducale, we got in half price with our Venice card, spent a good few hours in there!

Great value for the price in Venice

Wonderful place to stay. Clean airy rooms, well-run place, and run by a kind family. The location is close to many of the sites. We enjoyed our stay and enjoyed talking with the family a bit. Good value for the price!
