3 star Dorsoduro hotels in Venice, Italy

Two guests were greeted warmly and everything efficiently taken care of. Friendly & helpful staff; generally very quiet and peaceful accommodation. The hotel location and grounds are ideal; we could be dropped off at the doorstep by the river taxi and within easy walking distance of good restaurants, and attractions; very close to one of the few bridges crossing the Grand Canal. The room size and bathroom were good but not overly generous - we had not asked for a suite although there was room for nice decor and a table with chairs. It was winter, so no balcony was necessary. Temperature control in the room was not necessary because it was warm all the time (windows were opened for natural cool breezes). The windows out onto the canal really made the stay unmistakably Venice. A delightful stay for a couple wishing to wander on foot all the historical areas of the city. Walking 12 kilometres one day and 10 km the next, we explored S. Polo, and Dorsoduro, S. Marco, and some of Cannaregio; and would have gone further with more days to spend, the location helped every bit by making us confident we could return quickly to base; and the staff were always willing to suggest tours or simply answer our tourists' questions.

This hotel was an excellent choice for my first time in Venice. Great location, friendly staff and clean.

Excellent place to stay on Venice island itself. Five minutes walk from main boat stop for the airport, two minutes walk to one of the few squares where cafes, pubs, wine bars and restaurants stay open later than 10pm, right on a canal, can't fault the location, you could walk to St Mark's if you didn't stop on the way (impossible, of course) in 20 mins. Room big enough for two, you can walk around the double bed without bashing into the walls, not usual for Venice! Tea and coffee making facilities, mini bar, SIX towels provided, replaced every day (quite unnecessary), plenty of soap - shower gel etc. Room has a chandelier of which DelBoy would be proud. Lovely spacious upstairs communal lounge with great views from the balcony. Very nice, helpful staff, reception open 24hrs.

The hotel was in a very good location. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Excellent restaurant, very helpful and friendly staff.

Very simple accomodation. Great fun closeby. Walk to any touristvattraction and pretty much inside the college student area. The staff of women were very nice.

We only had a one night stay before going on a cruise. The location was excellent. The breakfast was good. We were travelling with our 3 yr old daughter and were surprised to find our room had 2 bathrooms, although small was sufficient. Small balcony which our daughter loved. The guy on reception was extremely helpful. Would recommend.

Down a quiet canal in the less fashionable Dorsoduro district lies a hidden gem of a B&B hotel. The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are varied and plentiful. The rooms are comfortable and the courtyard gardens, especially in good weather are a sanctuary from the bustle that is Venice. It's only five minutes walk from the water-bus stop which is only one stop from St Marks Square. The immediate area between the Accademia bridge over the Grand Canal and the Punta della Dogana has enough bars, restaurants and small-eating places to cater for most tastes all within ten minutes walk of the hotel. This was our second visit to Venice. Last time we did the tourist trail. This time we wandered the quieter streets and passageways marvelling at the sense of history that surrounded us. We'd go again given the opportunity.

We were really happy with the friendly staff, the freedom to come and go and the comfortable bedroom. There was fast wifi, the bed was lovely and the bathroom was huge and had plenty of hot water. There's a fridge and a safe. The staff were solicitous and welcoming. They also communicated really well with us before we arrived. The hotel is a short ish walk to San Marco for for adults and the beautiful Zattere is nearby. We didn't use it, but the vaporetto also stops outside for those who can't or don't want to walk far. Breakfast was typical European fare of fruit, bread rolls and nuttella but the service was great and the coffee was very good. Overall would definitely recommend.
