There are pros and cons to this place, depending on what you want from a hotel. We stayed in the gamily toom with canal view.

Pros
- very central
- easy to get to from Rialto water bus stop
- big sleeping area
- lovely balcony with a canal view
- good price

Cons
- curtains don't shut so you need to close outside shutters but as the room is almost double height you can't cover the top windows (or the ones by the door)
- in winter there is no staff (except maids to clean the rooms) at reception and you habe to check in at another hotel (short walk away). Not a proble for us, but with small kids it would be an extra hassle
- it has a restaurant below the

The broken air conditioning really put a damper on our stay. The room was nice and clean, and we loved the private balcony. It was not convenient to check in/out at a different location and there was not a person at the reception area at our location.

When we called about the air conditioning being broken we were told it would be fixed. When we called a second time, we were told it could not be fixed - we were not offered other accommodations, a discount, or any compensation.

I understand that it's old but we had to go check in some other hotel then walk to our hotel and make our way into a lonely abandoned like hotel. As soon as we enter we smelled the warm urine smell like if a bunch of drunk men pissed in the corner for days. Second we only got a small fan and small AC unit for a huge high ceiling room that would never even close to cool down due to the Sun hitting directly to the room for the majority of the day. It wasn't even in 90s yet but it felt in hundreds even worse at night.

The room I had did not have any water view at all. The room is ok, the door doesn’t have room number, I suspected it is not a hotel room but a staff resting room. Check in process was difficult which was 5 minutes walking distance away from the property, and it is not friendly to locate for first time visitor in the Venice area, specially if the cellphone internet doesn’t work very well in that area.

\"This hotel is not ideal for larger individuals. If you're over 6'2\" and 200 pounds, it may not be the most comfortable choice. It's not terrible, but it's not great either. The room has just the basics: a bed, an AC unit, a TV, and a very small bathroom. It's a place to sleep for the night, nothing more. It's not fancy or aesthetically pleasing, just functional for a short stay.\"

The property said we were upgraded to their boutique hotel. We stayed at Locanda Ai Santi Apostoli, the staff was nice and very accommodating - we guess all their hotels are like that. Easy and convenient check in. We arrived after check in hours, so the hotel provided us a link via email to check our self in for when arrived. Once again the staff was great. Small, old hotel that was comfortable.

So here how it is work the picture they will show you is totally different than the hotel you will stay in. I guess there is two different hotels merge in somehow together. On expedia they show you all the pictures of a good hotel and then give you the keys to the one 10 minute walk And probably 50 stairs to climb. This should be actually illegal on what they are doing on expedia. I saw my room and Immediately walked out. Didn’t even stay for 5 mins. Do not waste your money here.

Contrary to what's advertised on Expedia, there is no front desk at this location. instead, it's managed by staff from another hotel. While these staff members were nice and friendly, their presence couldn't salvage our disastrous stay. We had no means of contacting onsite staff. The room was not only filthy but also emitted an unpleasant odor. It felt as though we were lodged in a repurposed storage space with low ceilings and a poorly designed layout. I couldn't even fit into the shower comfortably. The shuttered window opened to a duct chase, where bathroom exhaust from neighboring homes would waft in. The photos provided were misleading, the stairway depicted has nothing to do with the actual hotel entrance, which was located elsewhere.

Fantastic service, great location

I stayed for one night during a long layover between flights and although i arrived after check in reception closed and departed the next morning before it opened again, the staff were amazing in accommodating me outwith these hours.

The hotel and the room itself was great, especially for the price, and is a great location only 15 minutes walk to St Marks Square and good links for the water bus etc.

I happened to be staying the night before a 24 hour transport strike which i wasn't aware of before booking the city centre location, and having only found this out once i arrived there was a worry regarding making it to the airport in the morning. The staff dealing with the Whatsapp contact number were amazing in helping, they gave me all details for a private water bus company and all info on timings/location etc. This really helped me to have a relaxing nights stay. Absolutely fantastic customer service going above and beyond.

I plan on visiting Venice properly in the future and will definitely be looking at staying here again!

Dirty- hairballs and beer bottles on the balcony, dust everywhere, dirty sheets. Also was supposed to have AC but it didn’t work so it was super uncomfortable. To make matters worse, no one works there so check in and out is on the 3rd floor of a different building a few blocks away in a super busy area so you have to drag your suitcases to and from this place to check in and out. Stay far far away.

The hotel does not have a reception desk which caused confusion as I was asked to check in at another hotel/branch which was about 4min walk from this hotel. Not far but confusing as this was communicated to me on the last day before check in. There was no info about wi-fi, since there wasn’t a reception at the hotel, I emailed the staff to ask about the wi-fi details and to date I haven’t heard back. Another hotel desk was kind enough to share the Wi fi details.
The hotel is located close to Rialto bridge so the location is good, food places are nearby and the hotel is clean. The room size was fairly good but the bathroom was quite small. The absence of reception is a big turn off because you couldn’t communicate with the hotel staff and walking to another building for every query is an extra pain.

Hotel is in a very central location for exploring venice. The price is very cheap for central Venice but also reflects the fact the hotel has some compromises eg no lift to get luggage up to room, reception services provided from a different hotel and some sound proofing issues between rooms. Was fine for a night or two.

A complete dump. Rude staff. Stay away!

The staff was rude. They advertised as having AC but it does not (read other reviews!). Same with WiFi, basically non-existent. We were told to open the room coz they don’t want to turn on the AC so not surprisingly mosquito bites by the morning. The fridge in the room was also disgusting, wasn’t cleaned. We expected the place to be old because it is Venice, but this place was a complete dump for 300 Euros a night.

When we complained about the AC, the guy got so aggressive. Stay away from this place! Read the other reviews and it appears they advertise things they have no intention of providing or will find any excuse why such things are not available or not working.

I don’t understand why hotels.com allows this business to continue booking on their website with false advertising.

This is 1 of 7 properties during our almost month-long trip. We had amazing stays at all others. But this one is just plain awful.

a warning to travellers that you may find yourself with broken air conditioning and no fan in the middle of a heatwave. a/c broke on the second night of my stay (temp was 33-35 degrees celsius) and had not been repaired by the seventh night of my stay, when i checked out. a fan was provided by night 5, but only after i requested one/asked for a partial refund (which was ultimately not issued, despite the manager saying we would discuss it further). since A/C was a priority factor in my deciding which hotel to rent, this was quite troubling. hotel amenities are very basic. although conveniently located, the neighbourhood is very crowded/noisy and the hotel did not provide a restful reprieve from the busy, hot streets.

Amazing location in Venice

Really good location, with most tourist spots accessible within a 15 min walk or so.
A 2 second walk to the Canal with a view of Rialto Bridge, which seemed to be a hotspot for people chilling out at night - a really good atmosphere
Lots of stairs to get to the room with no elevator so bear in mind if you have difficulty walking
Basic facilities and clean - does the job. It’s probably not the place if you plan to stay in the hotel more.

This is a great hotel. The value for your money is outstanding. The room is clean and spacious. The location is phenomenal, as it is very close to the Rialto bridge. The staff is very friendly and responsive. The instructions on how to get to the property will be sent to you after you book. They are very good directions, and should take you right to it! The only thing lacking was the Wifi. It was very weak and you had to go into the hallway to use it. The hallway is very hot, but the rooms have more than adequate AC.

Beautiful Hotel on the Grand Canal

We stayed in the family suite and loved our room which opened to a lovely balcony/patio through some french doors facing the Grand Canal. It was beautiful! There were two small tables and plenty of chairs to enjoy the view or share a nice breakfast. The beds were very comfortable. We were relieved that the room was air-conditioned and we slept so well. We were completely happy with our room. Note: the hotel staff strongly prefers to speak with you on the phone about when you will be arriving. They have to meet you and give you keys, instructions etc. Try to contact them the day before you arrive. Communicating via email or text didn't work, speaking to them in person is best.

Nice location, friendly staff, but painful WiFi

The location of this hotel was close to all the shopping and the Rialto bridge. The Hotel staff was very nice and accommodating. The room was very spacious and clean. The view out the windows was... well.... to some narrow water ways, which when you think about it... is the expected view in Venice! We could hear a Gondola passing through once in a while, not too loud at all. TWO issues we encountered. Be aware that there was no \"Shower\" stall in our room. There was hand held shower head, and a nicely over sized tub, but no shower walls or curtain. This is something you see in Europe less and less, but not unheard of. Since the tub was over sized, there was room to sit and...shower. We all worried we would send the shower into the room... we had to get used to using one hand to shower LOL..... Second problem was the WiFi. it was almost non existent. Each click took 30 seconds or more to respond, sometimes minutes. We had to set up our return transportation to the Airport and spent well over an hour trying to get it done.

The room was big and nice! The staff was very nice and helpful. There is free breakfast like cereal and croissant with coffee but was good enough. I liked the place!
But the bathtub was so small, I could not even stand in the tub. I almost fell a couple of times. Rooms are on the second floor, there are about 30 steps and no elevator. climbing with luggage was painful. One of the staff ladies helped us with one bag so that was really nice of her. So pack only what you can carry!
Overall it's a nice place to stay. The nearest boat station is Rialto, but you need about 10 to 15 mins to reach the hotel with luggage.

Less Impressive hotel on a good location.

The stay was with my wife, daughter and myself. We stayed in the hotel for 2 nights. The location of the hotel was good. The hotel had little space to enter with poor sized lobby. Then no lift made it difficult to walk the long stairs (specially when you have bags). Staff was good, spoke English, but did not knew anything about other locations. We were surprised when she was not aware where exactly the hotel was located in the map. There were mosquitoes, hence we took proper care of those. Coming to breakfast, the staff was very choosy. You can have only one croissant. Juice was pathetic. It was not a fresh juice. Coffee machine did not produce good coffee or milk.

Old Venice Charm

If you want to feel old Venice charm, look no further. This room was huge, had a gorgeous set back balcony looking onto the grand canal. We had only one night, but could have happily stayed a week. The only draw back was a tiny bathroom for a family of five and many flights of steps, I think the kids counted over 60, but who cares. It really set the tone for Venice charm. The highest ceilings I've ever seen so it doesn't get hot, aircon small but it's ok. Charming.

Lion Morosini Palace Review

The hotel is hard to find, but the instructions online for finding it were excellent. Hotel is old and worn. I had 2 rooms - 1 bathroom extremely small and smelled - the other bathroom was large with a tub that did not have a shower curtain. Needless to say the bathroom got wet when we showered. We only stayed 1 night and it was okay, but I would try to find a different place if we visit Venice again. Hotel staff was very nice and accommodating.

Overall good value in the off season.

I would say the Lion Morosini Palace is classic small Venician hotel tucked away around the corner (i.e. make sure you locate on a map before hand and read their directions). The rooms were clean and comfortable. A bit noisy if the windows are open or other talking in the adjacent room. The tub was funky and hard to stand in with one's feet together. No view. Very helpful and accommodating staff and a central location.

Hotel is centrally located, close to Rialto Bridge. We paid $184 dollars/night. Very, very difficult to find (but then every small hotel in Venice is the same. You need to ask and ask for directions from shop around. Close to water and there is a Tavern a few step from hotel, good ambiance. Caution with shower, very small 2' x 4', but floor has a slide shape & slippery. My small feet did not fit on the end of slide section (seriously). Be careful especially if difficult balancing.

Hard to find.

This hotel is quite tired. Centrally located but extremely hard to find. We spent a lot of time researching exactly where this hotel was located and still had problems finding it. At one time I'm sure this really was a palace but over time it's been chopped up and the rooms are now all \"jury rigged\" to fit the space. If you stay here watch out for the 40 or so steps to the rooms.

Good stay in central area of Venice

The hotel is in a very busy and central part of the city. It was easy to get anywhere from the hotel. The management was pleasant and helpful. The dock outside the hotel was wonderful and lots of people came to get a drink at the restaurant directly in the hotel building and sit on the dock to view the wonderful sights of Venice. It was a little difficult to find, but with google maps I found it with no mistakes. I think everything except the largest hotels would be a little hard to find as you have to go down small alleyways to reach a lot of places and these aren't necessarily marked you just have to get used to using them.

12th century charmer on the Grand Canal

We loved our stay at this hotel! The hotel (more like a B&B) is a bit off of the beaten path which is accessible from the main path off of a little alley way which brings to a small piazza and then again to another narrow alley way which leads you to the entrance of the hotel. First impressions are not that great but we found out that this hotel was built in the 12th century and was every bit charming. Our terrace overlooked the grand canal which made for beautiful views and a great spot to enjoy our breakfast (included). Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this place to people who can overlook the minor details (small lobby, unairconditioned stairwell to room) and appreciate the charm of the environment that truly makes you feel like you are a Venetian rather than a tourist.

Friendly and helpful owner. The hotel had a good location near Rialto Bridge. Water bus station was near by.

Venice trip

The hotel is close by Rialto bridge (5 min walking distance ) but it took me 2 hours to find the hotel
Italian people do not speak English & they are not co-operative that is why I lost my way, policemen are only co-operative & helpful people & they know all locations very well.
It is not easy to find the location & enterence at a side of the building
No sign to show where is the hotel.
The hotel is clean & the room is small, the washroom is enough for 1 person, no elevator so it is hard for carrying our luggage.
People in the hotel are friendly
Over all ,nice hotel but too small & hard to reach

Everything we needed for our one-night Venice Stay

We stayed here for one night while visiting Venice. The hotel was no frills but clean, very close to the Rialto Bridge, and staff was great. If you are looking for a beautiful stay, this may not be your place but it worked for us since we did not want to spend a lot of money. Breakfast was ready in the morning and the hotel had everything we needed. It is very difficult to find, we had to ask numerous shop and restaurant owners. Map it out before you arrive! The Internet access was very spotty. But overall, no complaints.

Nice hotel for the money

The hotel is well located next to the Rialto bridge which is a plus. In addition, the room I stayed in had a great view to the canal. One of the things that I didn't like was that the AC didn't work and the bathroom tub looked line a slightly over sized toilet. Beside those two thing everything else was perfect. Not bad for the price.

Great hotel for the family or student group.

The Hotel has a great location with its own private dock. Our room had access from the dock and a lovely cozy little plaza. In the plaza there is a great Tratoria with superb food.
The price and service was great. This is an old Palace and there are no elevators so dont carry too much luggage.

Perfect location...but a sofa bed in a hotel??

The location is perfect, not far from the Rialto and the bar nearby is really good....especially the cocktails!! However, the main issue is that the bed provided was a sofa bed which I do not expect from any hotel. It was comfortable enough but squeaked so much during the night that it kept us awake

The location was excellent, very close to the city center.
The room wasn’t luxurious, but it was clean, simple, and more than satisfactory.

Even though I don’t speak Italian, the staff were extremely kind, and communication was smooth.
I felt comfortable and safe throughout my stay.

Thank you for a wonderful experience☺️

Fremragende placering

Dette sted kan varmt anbefales. Vi fik et af værelserne med udsigt til Canal Grande og det var skønt at følge byen fra vinduet og fra den \" hemmelige\" plads med bådbro. Her nød vi både morgenkaffen og aftenvinen.

No la recomendaría para discapacitados

El cheque aquí hacerlo en otro sitio para recoger las llaves. No hay personal con quien hablar ahí en este hotel y la habitación eran muchas escaleras. No estaba marcada con el número de habitación.

Lugar bien ubicado pero sin cuidado con el huesped

El local está muy bien ubicado, al lado de la estación, pero me pareció bastante raro. El señor de la limpieza es muy amable y atento. Las toallas y las ropas de cama estaban desgastadas.

Esta súper bien ubicado y cercano al Puente de Rialto por tanto pudimos tomarnos excelentes fotos antes que llegara una gran cantidad de turistas. Tuvimos que hacer un late check in porque se nos atrasaron los trenes y fueron muy amables en darnos instrucciones precisas a esa hora tarde en la noche para poder llegar a nuestra habitación. Tal vez necesita un update en cuanto a la decoración en la recepción, pero por lo demás todo súper bien
