Hotel is well placed for all the major sites, room was a little dated but clean. Bed was comfortable if a little firm. Breakfast good quality and plentiful but hotel appears to offer breakfast to non residents which means we had to wait for a table at breakfast. Overall I would say a good choice if you are on a budget. Another good point is it's proximity to the water bus stop .

The air conditioning in the room wasn't working properly, the room decoration and colours were too much, the safe was broken.there was no soap or shampoo dispenser, in the shower, only small packets of shampoo. Bathroom pipes were rusted. However the lobby was beautiful, breakfast was excellent. The lady at the breakfast room who assisted with the coffee was nice.

Hotel is in a lovely location but is very tired, run-down and uncomfortable. The bed was the worst I have slept in for a long time - it was so uncomfortable, both in terms of the mattress and the pillows. Wall paper hanging off the walls, a damp smell in the room and curtains which don’t shut and don’t block out the light. The lady on the reception desk when we arrived was also very grumpy and unhelpful

Hotel Belle Arti is nicely located, close to a convenience store, restaurants, and relatively close to St. Marco plaza. The staff were very kind and helpful, and breakfast was great and had a large selection of things to chose from. The common areas of the hotel were very clean and looked great, but the room left a lot to be desired. It was very small, carpet and fabric walls that gave me a bit of allergies. The air conditioner did not work the best, we left it on hoping it would cool the room by the time we got back hours later it was still hot. The shower head had mold on it and the bedframe was lined in fabric that was falling apart. Honestly for the single night we stayed it was fine, we ignored everything since we were exhausted, but would not recommend if you are staying longer.

Dorsodoro’s finest
Such a sweet little hotel in a great, convenient area. Dorsoduro is my favorite sestiere, and little places like this is why. Room was nicely appointed, bar was cheap, breakfast was great (be careful….pidgeons and gulls will steal food off your plate), and staff was friendly and helpful. Close to the Zattere, Academia, and Guggenheim Collection. No more than a 25 minute walk t anywhere, and less than 3 minutes to 2 vaporetto stops. Beautiful outdoor space to enjoy. For sure, stay here.

What a wonderful place to stay in Venice. You are made to feel like family. The staff is superb. It is such a pleasure to be taken such good care of at breakfast. Venice is a gorgeous city but sometimes quite stressful. The hotel with its beautiful front courtyard is an oasis of calm to relax in after a day of seeing the sights. Easy access with two ferry lines that stop nearby, and walking into the rest of the city is also possible, over a bridge with a famous view of the Grand Canal. Highly recommended!

Breakfast plenty of choice . Hotel in a great position and quiet . The garden and covered terrace are lovely and you can have breakfast there which is lovely . Would recommend the hotel .

This hotel was ok. We only stayed one night. The beds are hard, but that seems to be normal here as they were that way at the two other places we stayed also. Don’t expect nice, new or modern. It was clean, but old and in need of some repairs. Air conditioning wasn’t very good, but kept us from sweating.

Like most of places in the area, it’s old and in need of some repairs/updating. The AC never got really cool and we had to have the desk clerk reset it. They were not really friendly in any of our interactions. Beds are rock hard, but I think that’s just the standard in Italy as we have stayed in 3 different locations and all the beds have been the same. Overall not bad, but I wouldn’t choose it again when visiting the area.

The room was not clean properly and the blankets smelled bad, the bathroom is bad in cleanliness. I got in contact with the receptionist lady few times and she was rude with me. I asked for hot water for drinking and she refused me but she gave coffee to the other guests staying there. I haven't had this kind of experience before staying but this was one of the bad experience i ever had.

A difficult stay.
Nice hotel but the experience was spoilt on our first few nights by nearly 70 young school children staying at the hotel which made breakfast every morning basically impossible!! When they left another tour group moved in and the same problem arose as the were all meeting up together at a set time, again rendering breakfast very in and difficult. Will not stay here again.

Wonderfully over the top / unpleasant breakfast
Great location with wonderfully over-the-top and old school Venetian kitsch rooms. Comfortable beds. Wifi is spotty in the upper-floor rooms but works fine in the lobby. The breakfast room is a chaotic, with frequent lineups in the morning due to a limited number of tables. Food is mostly industrial, and the coffee machine produces a beverage that is an insult to Italian culture and Italian coffee. Thankfully, you can fall back on Twinings tea.

Venetian trials and tribulations
The website said it had air conditioning. We asked the clerk about it and he said there was no air conditioning in Venice. Also we didn't get wash cloths. He acted like he never heard of them. I'm sure even if they don't use them in Italy, other Americans, must've asked for them before. Also, the girl at reception wasn't welcoming at all. I happened to mention that I was pickpocketed while entering the ferry from the train station and lost all the cash I brought with brought with me ($200). She just said that's happening a lot now. When we were leaving we asked which boat stop was best, and she coldly said that they were on strike that day til 12:30. She said we could walk the half hour. We just went to the boat dock anyway and luckily a few boats were running, or we might have missed the train. Also the room was quite small. Therefore, I will not go back to this hotel, and probably not Venice itself, after my money being stolen before I even set foot on the boat taking me to my hotel!

This was quaint comfortable hotel in a very good location. While my room was small it was comfortable and well appointment. The TV didn't work but everything else did. Located in a quiet location a couple blocks from a major waterway. 30 minute walk to Santa Lucia. Lots of comfortable leisure space outside. More than adequate breakfast.

Good hotel but shame about their attitude
The only problem with this hotel is the total lack of friendliness. Not once was there a smile or any sign of hospitality. This is a shame , very good location, quiet, clean, very good breakfast. And for a 3 star in Venice good. But the attitude of the reception and breakfast staff lets it down. They all need a lesson in hospitality . I would stay there again and would hope they take notice of reviews ( others have also commented on attitude) . I have stayed in similar grade hotels in Venice many times and have not seen this problem before.

The room was dirty. There was hair in my bed, and on the towel rail. I told them at reception and somehow they did not understand but supplied new bed sheets. Was scared they might have bed bugs given lack of cleanliness. The female receptionist was extremely rude to me and dismissive when I asked her basic questions such as where the bathroom was, ignoring me then when I asked again after waiting in front of her for a while (still being ignore), She pointed, without looking up. The location and garden space is not bad and very convenient. But this place is like an overpriced hostel. I thought given the service and cleanliness, it was actually extremely overpriced.

Unique: there is a lovely courtyard which is not utilized properly. There is a bar, obviously for appearance, however, no service is offered to people sitting in courtyard. Breakfast: set-up terrible, promotes waiting on a line…..by the time you reach the minute tray of eggs, tray is empty!! Then you have to wait for the staff to bring another minute tray of eggs, there are people standing all around waiting to get food. The food selection left lots to be desired….to give an idea of how we viewed the food….we ate a roll, machine generated cappuccino every morning. We left the tasteless food to others!

WARNING: They will lie, deny and not honor Covid vouchers. Beware worst customer service ever. After giving us a voucher for cancelled trip from last year because of covid they are now ignoring our calls and emails and denying the vouchers even though we have email proof. I have been dealing with this for months and finally gave up and asked my bank for help. I am doing chargeback with my bank because of the fraud. I would never stay at this place after they way the treated us.

The room was far more modern than it looks on the photos online. Room was clean, spacious and bathroom was also modern and clean. I would highly recommend staying here for these reasons alone. The location was also great, 10-15 minute walk to San Marcos Square. If I go back to Venice, I will definitely be coming back here. Only downside, was the buffet breakfast - cold and not vegetarian friendly, not much choice either.

Belle Arti Christmas
Belle Arti is in a good location & 5mins walk from Aililaguna blue line stop or 18mins easy walk from bus & train. The hotel was clean, comfortable with breakfast included. Outside seating area was a pleasant place to relax. One small criticism was lack of tea, coffee facilities. None in rooms & only available to buy from bar/ reception. Our experience was most reception staff were happy to serve but unfortunately one female receptionist refused to leave desk & serve. I would however recommend Belle Arti & don’t be put off by negative reviews on other sites.
