A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“The best location in town. The room and bathroom well equipped but FAR TOO SMALL for the price I paid. The interior of the hotel not very Venetian. The breakfast room and bar done with good materials but actually pretty boring.”
“Close to the San Marco Tourist area and Gondola services. Can walk most anywhere in short time from this Hotel. Breakfast was good. Staff is helpful and ready to provide service. Water Taxi picks up in front of this hotel. Outside tables for dinning, were absent, maybe they don't support outside dinning, or maybe the space is not good for that kind of setup.”
“Due to some change of plans, I needed to book a room at 4 hours’ notice and this was the only option in the area near Accademia and I am so glad I stayed there. Rooms are small but comfortable. Cheerful lobby area. The hotel is on one of the smaller canals and spread out over two adjacent buildings and an annex section where the inside rooms face a small garden. Sound proof windows with two layers of curtains and sliding shutters. This is very helpful as it drowns the continuous sounds of boats. Blackout shutters were great as the sun comes up quite early. The front desk staff are very helpful. Great location. Walking distance to many of the attractions and to Academia and Zettere vaporetto stops.”
“The hotel location was amazing! It was just a short walk to the bustling tourists areas like San Marco. Vaporetto access was also just a short couple minute walk away. We really loved the Dursodoro location it had an arts vibe and was less busy. The room itself was very comfortable and well appointed. The included breakfast was fantastic with lots of options and all of a high quality. Last but certainly not least the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The team at the front desk helped us out tremendously in navigating Venice and it really enhanced our trip. We could not have asked for a better stay in Venice.”
