Staying at Hotel Carlton on the Grand Canal in Venice was an absolute delight. The hotel has a timeless, classic charm from the moment you step inside—elegant architecture, spacious rooms, and a warm, inviting atmosphere.

The breakfast spread was impressive, offering a wide variety of fresh, delicious options—from local pastries to classic Western dishes. It’s rare to find such quality and choice at this price point, especially on the main island. For travelers looking for comfort, convenience, and great value, this hotel is a top recommendation.
Staying at Angeles Inn in Venice felt like being welcomed into a local family’s home rather than just another hotel. Located just a 10-minute walk from the train station and about 20 minutes to St. Mark’s Square, it’s perfectly positioned for exploring the city on foot or by vaporetto. The moment we arrived, Valentina and Fabio made us feel right at home with their warm hospitality and genuine kindness. They offered thoughtful tips on hidden gems and shared stories that made our trip even more memorable. Our room was charmingly decorated in traditional Venetian style—quiet, spotless, and equipped with AC, free Wi-Fi, and a TV. But the real highlight was breakfast on the rooftop terrace, where we enjoyed fresh pastries, local coffee, and views of the canals. The area around the inn is packed with cozy cafés, authentic eateries, and bars—perfect for grabbing a snack anytime of day or night. We also appreciated how easy it was to book excursions to Murano, Burano, and Torcello through the staff, which saved us from long queues at the dock. Venice is magical, and this little gem of a B&B truly lives up to its reputation. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic, stress-free stay in the city.
Hotel Ca' d'Oro is perfectly located in the heart of Venice, just a 5 to 8-minute walk from Vaporetto station, making it super convenient for getting around the city. It’s also within a 15-20 minute stroll to major attractions like St. Mark’s Square and the Rialto Bridge—especially close to the latter, which is great if you want to explore on foot without rushing. The hotel itself is small but charming, with authentic Venetian touches that make you feel immersed in local culture. Breakfast is excellent—fresh, varied, and filling. One of the best perks? You can leave your luggage at reception even after check-out if you’re flying out later in the day, so you can enjoy a relaxed morning exploring the city without the burden of heavy bags. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere is warm and welcoming. With its unbeatable location, thoughtful service, and true sense of place, this stay was absolutely perfect—I’d definitely come back.
I had a really disappointing experience staying at Cà Widmann. I was forced to cancel my trip just days before departure because of poor communication and lack of flexibility from the host. I was originally planning to attend the Venice Architecture Biennale for professional reasons, so I reached out requesting either a refund or rescheduling option—something I believed would be reasonable given the circumstances. The host gave vague promises, suggesting that if they managed to re-rent the room, maybe a refund could be considered. That was it—no follow-up, no confirmation, nothing. In the end, I lost €204, missed the Biennale entirely, and couldn’t afford to book another stay later on since I was unemployed at the time. This situation was not only frustrating but also financially devastating. I will never consider this property again, even if I ever return to Venice.
Staying at Abbazia de Luxe in Venice was an absolute highlight of my trip. The location is fantastic—just a short walk from the train station, though the entrance is tucked away down a quiet alley, so you’ll need to go in a bit (not right at the street corner). Our room had an incredible view overlooking the Grand Canal and the Ponte degli Scalzi bridge—perfect for morning coffee with a view. The breakfast buffet was excellent: fresh pastries, local cheeses, jams, and hot options—all well-prepared and plentiful. Staff were friendly and attentive without being intrusive. It’s rare to find such a charming hotel with top-notch service and a central yet peaceful setting. I’d definitely return and recommend it to anyone visiting Venice.
Staying at Ca'Dorè was a pleasant experience overall. The location is excellent—right in the heart of Venice, making it super convenient to explore by vaporetto, and just a short ride from Fondamente Nove for water buses to the airport and nearby islands. However, I should mention that there are two apartments, and we didn’t realize this when booking. Our reservation mentioned a balcony, but Ca’Dore 2 doesn’t have one—only Ca’Dore 1 does. If you’re looking for a view, be sure to confirm which unit you’re getting. The apartment itself was clean, well-maintained, and furnished with minimal but functional pieces—perfect for a short stay. One downside: there were no clear instructions on how to use the kitchen appliances, so we had to figure things out ourselves. A quick guide or label would’ve been helpful. Despite that, it’s a great spot for travelers who value convenience and simplicity, especially if you're exploring Venice without a car.
Staying at CA' Miani was an absolute delight—perfectly located in the heart of Venice, just steps away from the city’s most charming canals and hidden alleys. The apartment itself is beautifully designed, with a warm, inviting atmosphere and plenty of space for comfort. Maurizio, the host, went above and beyond with his kindness and helpfulness—offering thoughtful tips on local spots, transport options, and even helping with luggage. His attention to detail made the whole experience feel personal and truly special. It’s rare to find such a peaceful, well-appointed home in such a vibrant location. I’d highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for authenticity, comfort, and genuine hospitality in Venice.
Staying at Guesthouse Ca' San Marcuola 1 was an absolute delight. The rooms were spotless and well-equipped, with a comfortable bed and pillows that made for a great night’s sleep—definitely better than some other places I’ve stayed in Venice. The location is perfect: quiet yet central, making it easy to explore the city on foot. While the walls between rooms are fairly thin and you might catch a bit of noise from adjacent rooms, it wasn’t an issue for us. Breakfast isn’t included, but honestly, that works in its favor—there are countless cafés just a short walk away, and we actually prefer grabbing a local espresso and pastry in the morning. Overall, this place offers incredible value for the quality, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Venice. It’s hard to find such a great balance of comfort, convenience, and affordability elsewhere.
Staying at Ca' Riccio was an absolute delight for so many reasons. The location is unbeatable—just a 20-minute walk from Santa Lucia Station, or a short vaporetto ride to Fondamenta Nove, then just a few minutes more to Rialto and Piazza San Marco. Everything you want to see in Venice is within easy reach. The hotel itself feels truly Venetian—beautifully styled with authentic local charm in both decor and atmosphere. The staff, especially Mr. Cristiano, were incredibly welcoming, warm-hearted, and efficient. Breakfast was a highlight—classic options like tea and coffee, paired with a delicious mix of sweet and savory treats. And the best part? The price is incredibly competitive for such a fantastic experience. This isn’t just a stay—it’s a memorable piece of Venice, and I’d absolutely return.
I recently stayed at a 1-star hotel in Cannaregio, Venice, and I have to say it completely exceeded my expectations for a property of this category. The location was perfect—just a short walk from the train station, making our travel plans incredibly smooth. What truly impressed me was the daily room cleaning service; it was such a thoughtful touch that made a big difference during our stay. Despite its modest setup, the property felt well-maintained and comfortable throughout. The 14 bedrooms and 14 private bathrooms were ideal for larger groups or families, offering privacy and convenience without compromise. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a simple yet functional option in Venice—especially if you value practicality and good value.
