Good, cheap hotel

Location was great. The room was probably smaller than my university accommodation, though. It’s quite cheap and clean and hotel staff were happy to assist with stuff (extra towels, minor maintenance etc.). We had a leak in the air con which luckily occurred on our last day. Otherwise, it would’ve been very inconvenient.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Locanda Gaffaro on our 3 night stay in Venice. Perfect location right near the bus station and about a 30 min walk to San Marco. Staff were lovely, welcoming and accommodating from check in to check out. Breakfast was simple but lovely and did the job of fueling Us before (a lot!) of walking in Venice. Would stay again and recommend. *****

I highly recommend staying in dorsodurro whether it's at this hotel or any other. Area is central and felt safe even when we went out late evening. This hotel is based in a quiet street. Bus stop and water bus stop near by about 5 to 10mins walk. Better to get a 3 or 4 day ticket for water bus rather than using gondolas as they are pricey. All main attractions were nearby even island murano and burano. There are few restaurants nearby too. Lady who owns this hotel was really lovely and so were the staff who served breakfast and cleaned our room daily. Breakfast was good too. The hotel could do with a bit of renovation but beds were comfy and bathroom was nice and clean so if you are going to spend whole day outside. This hotel is good to stay.

Cozy stay

Cozy hotel. A bit dated. The room where we stayed had very noisy floor boards. I didn’t mind, but I hope there was no one living under us. The room was spacious enough. The bed was comfortable. The drinks and snacks in the mini bar were very reasonably priced. The bathroom has a bidet and toilet. The shower is very small. I’m a thin guy and still had to turn sideways to get out of it. Things like that don’t bother me though. Venice is small, so the hotel was within walking distance to pretty much everything. I’d stay at this hotel again.

Cozy hotel a short walk from Piazzale Roma

Since I was travelling solo and didn't want too much stress on arrival, I chose this hotel due to its convenient location. I took a bus from Marco Polo airport to Piazzale Roma, and then walked about 12 minutes to the hotel. It was easy to locate using Google Maps. Be aware that the reception is located in the co-joined hotel.
The room was quite charming in its decor and the bed was comfortable, Wi-Fi was excellent, and there was a good clean bathroom. Being out of the hubbub of the main tourist areas, I could thoroughly enjoy walking across the city, for example to Piazza San Marco, taking in all the wonderful sites along the way.

Okay stay

This was the cheapest I could find in the heart of Venice and it shows. However, it's cozy. Prime spot; it's a very short walk from the terminal. It's a short walk towards the Grand Canal and many, many establishments. The breakfast buffet is decent. One of the male staff (maybe the owner?) did not seem too friendly but he was accommodating enough and answered all of my questions.

good location in old Venice, typical (read - very small) European style room. within walking distance to the people mover train, water taxis & gondolas - nice places to eat everywhere. if you decide to use the hotel you will need to gather any items such as water or snacks before 8 PM as all of the local shops close early in Venice.

NO WIFI, RUDE 60 year old OWNER

1st off all it is a guest houae and not a hotel. It is by far the worst hotel I have stayed in my life and being a airline pilot I'hv stayed in quite a few. The owner are a very old couple who are always irritated and frustated. Their standard reply is NO to everything you say. And they always give a rude and negative vibe. NO WIFI at the HOTEL. Dont get fooled by fake promises. At the breakfast the items finish 20 mins before the mentioned time. And the only hotel I have been to where the breakfast service is only for 1 and a half hour.

We booked based on reviews...

We figured 4/5 stars seemed quite a good average for a 3 star hotel in Venice. When we arrived though, we checked in and were brought to the top floor of an adjacent building. The room was located all the way at the very end of the hallway, right under the building's roof. Due to the shape of the roof, the ceilings were very low and I wasn't able to properly stand up in any part of the bathroom (I'm 1.8m tall).
Due to the location of the room, our iPhone and Android phones as well as the Mac laptop barely connected to wifi. In fact, we ended up staying in the lobby whenever we needed internet access.

The room itself felt dirty. It felt like the room didn't get cleaned properly after the previous guests left.

On the first evening about half way through taking a shower, the water temperature dropped and all I got was cold water. We reported that to the owner and he said he was aware of it and that a technician would fix it the next day. Due to the fact that we didn't have internet access, stayed in a small, dirty room with cold water only we asked to get a refund or discount on our stay. We were promised a discount of roughly 1 night, but when we asked to get that paid back, the owner asked for our bank details to transfer the money. We agreed to discuss that during checkout.

We checked out at 7am during the week, but the lobby door was closed. We called the owner and he said we could put the key in front of the door. We never got a refund.

Avodi this place.

Perfect location to get in, out & around Venice!

If you are looking for the perfect spot to get in, out, and around Venezia quickly without sacrificing sleep or \"atmosphere\" quality, Locanda Gaffaro is it!

The location of the hotel is impeccable: although only a 10-minute walk south from the train station or the parking garage, the hotel is yet in the center of a residential neighborhood and is quiet at all times. Further 10 minute south is the S Toma vaporetto station which you can easily reach Piazza S Marco. Frari and S Rocco, along with many cheap eats particularly in the local favorite Campo S Magherita, are even closer to the hotel.

In other words, you are essentially in the center of the authentic Venice with easy access to other parts of the city thanks to its proximity to many vaporetto stops!

While the hotel room itself is not glamorous, its homely setting makes it a perfect place to rest from exploring the beautiful Venezia because of the quiet environment. The included breakfast is a simple yet high-quality selection of choices of pastries and cold cuts to give you a jump start for a new day of exploration. If you are a family or a group, you even get your own balcony over the serene courtyard! No matter what though, a beautiful canal is literally steps away from the hotel door.

Overall, I highly recommend staying in this hotel, regardless of the length of your stay! The location simply cannot get any better especially if you plan to use vaporetto.

Great place to stay to explore Venice

We really enjoyed our stay at Locanda Gaffaro. Close to the train station with not to many bridges (=stairs) to get there, in a quiet location with a view of a canal. Our room had enough space to stay with 4 people, reasonable rates, very clean and super friendly, helpful personnel. Breakfast included fresh coffee, espresso, cappuccino..., rolls and croissants, jam/Nutella, cold cuts and cheeses, cereal, yoghurt, and juices. While we did not use it, the minibar in the room was actually very reasonably priced. There was a trattoria close by with good food at a much lower price than places closer to the sights. It was easy to walk to sights or catch a valporetto.

Pleasant stay, helpful staff

We arrived a little early in Venezia, but the manager was very friendly and we could keep our luggage there and explore the city till check-in. We could also keep the luggage there till our train out, which was fantastic. This is considering that Venezia Santa Lucia does not have lockers and each piece in the Deposito Bagagli (cloak room) costs 5-6 euros per piece for 5 hours.

The rooms were clean, the wi-fi was a bit spotty, but fast, and the bathrooms had a bidet ! :)

Hidden hotel off the beaten path

We stayed during Carnivale and had a great time. It was on the island and close enough to walk or take a water bus everywhere. It's a little far to get to San Marco but water buses make it easier. The hotel had breakfast in the room each morning and was definitely a great deal since it was much cheaper than most of the larger hotels.

Easy walk from Train Station / Piazzale Roma. This was our second stay there. The hotel is a little hard to find so study a map. Once you know where it is, the signs along the way from Saint Mark's take you right by the hotel. It is off the main canals so it is an extremely quiet area.

Good (relatively) inexpensive hotel...

The room was tiny, but clean. We needed a place to stay overnight, and this Hotel was perfectly fine. It was a bit hard to find since the entrance is in a court yard. It would be good if on reservation they mentioned that Hotel Al Malcanton is under the same management, and if nobody opens the door at Locanda Gaffaro, ring the bell at the other one. It's definitely a good hotel for the price. Our main requirement is cleanliness and quiet -- it was good.

Lovely little hotel in Venice!

We stayed in a room for 4. It was a little cramped as expected but the slanted ceilings were annoying! I'm only 5'2 and I bumped my head several times - especially in the bathroom! HOWEVER, we were not in Venice to hide out in a hotel! The staff was very friendly, the value was incredible, the room was clean, and the location convenient! I would highly suggest this hotel to anyone visiting Venice who wants something nice but not an unreasonable splurge!

It is nice that you don't need to take water transportation to get here from the train station. Be sure to know where you're going beforehand through--lots of windy roads a bridge or two to cross. We were supposed to have breakfast in the garden, but due to rain, the hotel staff brought breakfast to our room. The hotel is located near the campo where there are many restaurants to choose from.

Great hotel close to the train station

We had a great stay at this hotel, the staff were so welcoming and always happy to help. Bonus that we had a room with a balcony. The room was very clean and tidy and had a safe. The bathroom was also very clean and with fresh towels each day. Close to Piazza Margherita where there is great food and drink. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice hotel close to restaurants

This hotel is fairly close to the train station in Venice, but make sure you get directions beforehand/bring a map because it is very easy to get turned around. The room was fairly clean, but the top comforter had multiple stains and we had mosquitos in our room every night, and a lizard on out last night. Other than that, the room was very nice and kept cool with AC. Breakfast in the morning was very nice and consisted of meat/cheese, cereal, rolls, and yogurt. The location of this hotel is close to numerous restaurants that are within walking distance.

Away from the crowds

Great location close to the train station yet away from the crowds. Two nights quiet with a nice breakfast each morning. I didn't even know that there was a front desk downstairs until it was time to check out. The staff was courteous and their English was sufficient. Must climb the stairs but the smell of the flowers in the courtyard distracts from the effort.

Comfortable room for my family

Comfortable room for my family. Location is perfect as it is just back from the main tourist area so its nice and relaxing and quiet - perfect after a full day of wandering around Venice. Staff helpful and friendly. Amenities are on the basic side but as the room is really only for sleeping, it is just right and priced properly.

Great holiday weekend!

We spent Saturday night at the hotel and loved it. Very quiet area. The staff was excellent. Very friendly and helpful. We booked the room with one double and two single beds. My ten year old granddaughter slept on the small bed. It was just the right size for her. We loved having our breakfast brought to our room! Would definitely book this hotel again!!

Comfortable little hotel

Small inexpensive hotel in Venice. A terrific neighborhood - not many tourists, walking distance from station, Piazalle Roma, Scuola di San Rocco. Clean, small room - lovely breakfast in the garden, weather permitting. A little difficult to find at first, but worth the search.

perfect location

We stayed at this small and friendly hotel for 3 nights in May. It was in a perfect location, a tiny and quiet square in real Venice, where the locals live. The breakfast was adequate, service friendly and the room very comfortable. The hotel is a 15 minute walk through the old streets and across the canals away from San Marco and other tourist attractions, 10 minute minute walk away from the Lagoon and the water taxies and cruise terminal at San Sebastien. There was a handy grocery store with a wide range of goodies near San Sebastien cruise terminal. This route makes an interesting alternative walk to San Marco, along the waterfront. Would stay there again.

Classic B n B

Clean, small B n B. The walls were thin (traditional building) but the yummy, hot, fresh breakfast brought to the room every morning made up for it. The service was lovely and the location was quaint yet convenient. Perfect place to escape the carnivale craziness when you need to.

Great no frills, best bang for your buck hotel

I think the best way to describe this hotel is as the best no-frills, best bang-for-your-buck, type of hotel. It was a little difficult to find, which is just the nature of Venice to begin with, but it's a 10-15 minute walk from the train terminal. The host/owner was a kind and warm older gentleman who helped with local recommendations and made the stay very easy. Room was well maintained, and although I thought the funky green theme was a turn off in the pictures, it was a very flattering design in person. Amenities are all modern. Breakfast was included, which consisted of breads, cereal, croissaint, espresso, orange juice... your basic italian breakfast. I had no complaints at all about my stay and would definitely stay again if/when I return to Venice. The neighborhood is a residential neighborhood for the most part so it's not overcrowded with tourists, which to me is a plus. If the owner is reading this, thank you for your hospitality.

For reference, I stayed 1 night on 1/9/13. The hotel would be on the level of a 3-star hotel.

This was a decent hotel. The owner and the people that worked there were very nice and accommodating. It is very close to Piazza Roma, so if you are driving that is where you would have to park. You can not drive up to the hotel. It is also very close to lots of good restaurants and stores. You can either walk half hour or take the water bus to S. Marco Square. The area is much quieter and less touristy than the S. Marco Square area. The AC never worked properly, so it was always on the warm side. Finally, the first night we stayed in a room on the third floor, which has low sealing and is quite hot. So request a room on the lower floor.

Nice short stay hotel

Locanda Gaffaro is a nice small hotel in a \"not so close to the center\" location but very safe and cute, walking distance to train/ bus station which was VERY convenient considering the suitcases!. Food is WAY cheaper here than near San Marcos. Rooms were clean on the small side, AC and breakfast included. Breakfast was very limited, coffee, juice, dry croissants and toast.I would totally stay here again, staff was very friendly and even if we got there before the room was ready we were allowed to leave our stuff inside.

IT'S OK, VENICE is interesting, but Once in a life time is sufficient

The room is too small for 4 people. It's suppose to be a family room in the attic with 4 beds. But we got triple room, with 1 extra bed.

Breakfast was good, but nothing special.

The location is perfect.
The atmosphere of the room was good, spacious, bright and cosy.
Just one thing, there was an unpleasant smell on the bed cover. It would have been cautious about it.
Overall, it was a delight to experience a stay in Locanda Gaffaro.

Hôtel calme et reposant

Nous avons réservé 3 chambres dans cet hôtel pour passer un WE en famille. Accueil très agréable, personnel à l’écoute. Il y a un petit patio à l’arrière qui permet de se reposer dehors tranquillement en été. Il est situé un peu à l’écart mais à 2 minutes de tout! :-) Les chambres sont propres! Bref, hôtel idéal pour profiter de Venise! On reviendra!

Bien

Chambre spacieuse avec toilettes privées. Hotel à maxi 15min à pieds de toutes les attractions de la ville. Il est situé dans un quartier calme.
Par contre, à l'arrivée, on nous informe qu'il n'y a pas de petit déjeuner pour nos chambres accessibles par les escaliers à l'arrière (???). Or l'hotel affiche plein de photos de petit déjeuner et il n'est pas mentionné que le petit déjeuner n'est pas inclus dans le tarif, donc ce fut une déception.
Les portes des chambres sont très fines, donc chambres mal insonorisées. On entend tout ce qu'il se passe dans le couloir comme si c'était dans notre chambre.

매우 만족합니다

연말에 4명 가족이 묵는 관계로 베네치아 본섬 주변 방값이 후덜덜한 상황에서 그나마 합리적 가격의 호텔을 찾다 예약했습니다. 다른 후기에서와 같이 매우 깨끗했고 방 상태도 청결했습니다. 골목길에 있어 밤에 도착하니 찾는데 약간 으스스한 느낌도 있었지만 아침에 사진을찍으니 예술이네요.
침구류 세탁상태가 좋았고 겨울에 난방 안되는 호텔이 많다고 해서 걱정했는데 난방도 문제 없이 잘 되었습니다 ( 좀 시끄러운게 단점)
조식은 가짓수는 많지 않았지만 간단히 먹고 나가기에 부족하지 않게 맛있었습니다
주변 지인이나 친구가 물어봐도 적극 추천할것 같습니다.

Muy buen hotel

El hotel en general está bonito al igual que la decoración. Está muy cerca de la estación Termini lo cual facilita muchísimo si se llega o se va por tren de Venecia, y no hay necesidad de estar subiendo y bajando puentes con maletas que es muy cansado.
El Personal de recepción es muy amable y atento y te ayuda con las dudas que tengas. La habitación está cómoda, la cama un poco dura, el baño espacioso y diario realizan la limpieza. El Desayuno está un poco básico y con poca variedad pero aún así te ayuda para empezar el día. Si recomiendo hotel y si regresaría!

スタッフは皆さんにこやか、英語も問題なくスムースなやり取りができました。
また、近道やおススメのバカロ(立飲み屋)を調べてくれたり、親切にしてくれました。
古さはありますが、
それを埋めるかのごとく清潔に保ってくれてるのがよくわかるし、
窓・中庭があって明るくエアコンも問題なし。
値段相応だし、現地のお宅に泊まっている雰囲気があって十分です。

プライバシーを守れるよう厚いカーテンがあると夜や着替え時に安心でした。
