Room had air conditioning which was the highlight of our stay. The bathroom was not connected to the room and was very hot and uncomfortable to use. This is a church which is also used as a hotel. Elevator was not serviced since 2008 and had a very quick closing time - beware. Also, can get locked in bathroom.

I love traveling in hostels, and I am a big \"save the earth\" person, so everything about this place resonates with me. The staff is great. The room is spotless, spacious, high-ceilinged, has art, and is right by the canal. Breakfast is both healthy and yummy. The 24-hr availability of cold drinking water is priceless during summer. Highly recommended, and I would love to stay in their other locations.

Barbara at the front desk was beyond helpful. She took care of answering so many questions and taking care of our needs. She was amazing. Also being that the hotel was on a canal, we could take a private taxi direct from the airport directly to the front steps of the hotel, which was wonderful to not have to deal with our luggage. I would definitely stay there again.. Thank you Barbara for everything.

Good value for a decent room in the heart of Venice. Excellent full breakfasts and free hot coffee, tea or chocolate from a machine at all times. Bathroom was shared with 3 other rooms, but the shower was large and excellent. I was very pleased and would definitely stay there again.

The rooms were clean and tidy and there was lots of choice for the breakfast.
The only negatives I had was that I had booked the room with a shared bathroom but did not realise (not sure if it’s noted) but these rooms are not accessible by the lift. As someone with mobility issues this was a bit problematic as I could only get the lift to the second floor then had to use stairs to reach the third floor. This was then made even worse when the electric went down on our second day. Overall a good place to stay.

This is a great location in Venice, and the rooms have air conditioning! I was there during a massive heat wave, so was thrilled when I walked into the cool room.

The complemantary breakfast was quite good, and the staff were so helpful. The property was a little dated, but it had charm. The main reason I did not score this higher was because I could hear everything that the loud couple in the room next to me were saying -- they were a young couple and they stayed up late talking until 1am. It was so frustrating -- I had ear plugs and could hear them through the ear plugs. I think the walls were quite flimsy as I could hear everything word for word. They were not speaking loudly at all. Again in the morning they facetimed a relative, and I heard that, too. I would have gone down to reception to see if there was another room, but reception was unstaffed / closed after 7pm. They do offer an emergency line but I did not call it.

Adding that I also shared a bathroom with four other rooms. People on the floor would spend a long amount of time in the bathroom (the single toilet, sink, bidet, and shower were both in there). Sometimes I just wanted to wash my hands after being out all afternoon and i had to wait 10-15 mins to do that because the bathroom was occupied.

Great location, had an elevator and just 7-8 min walk to the main touristy attractions like Doge palace and St Peters Square.
Nice hot breakfast with eggs and bacon for an American tourist who is used to hot breakfasts at most ordinary hotels that was incredible because protein consumption in Italy can be challenge unless you are willing to spend > 25Euro/plate.

Our room had a canal view and could see gondolas almost all the time.
Very close to a big Piazza with a lot of shopping and restaurants.

Our bathroom was across the room which was a little strange and felt more like a hostel rather than a hotel room but it was fine at the end.

Good location to walk everywhere. Struggled with finding it initially. Staff was helpful and hotel was clean. We didn't have an air conditioning remote at first, but staff came with one within 30 minutes. Elevator is very small and ended up having to carry luggage up stairs. Definitely request room preferences if you don't want to carry luggage up stairs.

It is important to note that although there is an elevator it does not go to all floors. If you have difficulty with stairs be sure to request a room serviced by the elevator.

Note that when it comes time to leave if you want to book a water taxi to the airport the staff will not help you with that. If you try to do it yourself you may not be successful. We weren't.

Great breakfast, nice old building, great location. The only thing keeping this from 5 stars all around was issues with Wi-Fi that the staff weren’t willing to help us fix. We ended up finding the solution ourselves (logging in with a laptop and using the assigned username and password to log in to our iPhones, when the Sign Up to Login option kept failing on our iPhones), but we would have preferred that the staff take ownership of the problem and help us.

The room was simple but spacious with a modern bathroom. The whole property was very clean too. The location is amazing; only 10 minutes walk to the main square. It’s also a 10 minute walk from the Alilaguna stop from the airport. Short walk to the Vaporetto boats which are the modes of transport around Venice.

The staff were nice and friendly. You also get a continental breakfast which was quite lovely. They even offer a luggage storage onsite which we utilised on our last day there. All in all, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Stays like this are not expected to be full of luxury, and I found for the price the Foresteria was quite nice. I would consider staying there again.

The stairs for some reason were blocked, and the elevator was very slow and very small.

The rooms were clean and the view beautiful.

The breakfast was excellent.

There was a little confusion with the reservation when we arrived (for some reason my name could not be found, even though the reservation was in the system), but the staff resolved the issue quickly and got us on our way.

One of our party arrived quite early in the morning, and were able to access our room for a nap which was very much appreciated!

The overall condition of the building on the first floor was somewhat poor, but the Foresteria part was well maintained.

Too far from the water taxi to walk and is Not accessible to the point of interest. Too many stairs to go along the way is good not to carry a large luggage like us. We had a hard time to full and carry the luggages. The only beauty to this place they have elevator and good breakfast.

The property was lovely and in a really ideal location. Everything was in walking distance. The staff were lovely and helpful. Breakfast was basic and more continental (pastries etc) but still lovely. The only problem is that it could get quite noise in the morning when breakfast was on but that was due to how close we was to the breakfast hall. No other complaints.
