Dorsoduro hotels

From the greeting on arrival to the location, this is a perfect hotel for a break in Venice. The location is excellent - off the main tourist trail but close enough to be anywhere you want to see after a short walk. Within a stroll of a beautiful waterfront. The hotel staff are amazing! All so polite and friendly and the complimentary bottle of bubbly left in our room to find after dinner was just a lovely touch. I feel very lucky that we found this gem of a hotel in amongst hundreds and would highly recommend it.

we arrived by water taxi which dropped us right outside at the private mooring. We where welcomed in by friendly and very helpful staff, who where able to direct us to some nice places to eat as we were starving . The room as promised had a wonderful view of the canal and was very comfortable, however the shower could have been more powerful (but it did the job). We made the most of the fine weather on our first day with a gondola ride which was very interesting. We then walked to St Marks Square which is about 20 mins away and round to Rialto bridge and other landmarks all of which are within easy walking distance. Our second day was spent visiting the Doges Palace and adjoining church, which we found fascinating. Word of warning, be prepared to pay a small fortune for food and drink in St Marks Sq. A must do experience though.

Although there wasn't a lift the female receptionist offered to carry our heavy suitcases to our room on the second floor. Didn't avail ourselves of this but thought it was excellent customer service.

A lovely hotel. The staff were very efficient and helpful. The hotel has a lovely courtyard and garden and is in a quiet location. Easy access to all the main sites. The room was immaculate and well furnished.

The hotel is in a lovely place in a lovely area - basic, but that's what we were expecting. It was convenient, with friendly staff and a reasonable breakfast.

The hotel was good but pretty far from S Lucia sation. If you don't mind to walk it is good choice.

Great location.But no service at all ,saw no one after first meeting and payment to be given in cash ,not by card as your site led me to expect.Breakfast a joke,no instructions about coffee machine or how to get hot water if tea required.Packets of biscuits and very processed pastries dumped on one table. Room adequate -good size but cheap bed and mattress,no chair or chest of drawers.Towels very small and thin but clean.Only changed when I phoned.cannot recommed .
