The hotel was very cute, and the staff were super friendly and very accommodating. They let us leave our luggage there after check out for a few hours until we had to leave for our flight. The staff at the front desk knew us within the first day by sight and knew which room was ours since everyone has to leave their door key at the front when you leave. Highly recommend!!

Off the Main walkway
Excellent stay. Very close to the Train station which made it easy with our luggage. Down a little walkway which was nice . You're away from the main walkway. Arrived early, was able to store our luggage. Friendly gentleman at the front desk. Cute dog, Mativ I think. loved to be petted. Over all, it was exactly the way I expected the room to be. Some people forget you are going to another Country, and most likely the building was constructed a long, long time ago. Would definitely go back.

The rooms are tiny. And there is no elevator. Also the breakfast selections were very limited and they ran out of fresh fruit one of the days we were there. The front desk people are friendly. Overall the hotel is in a convenient location within Venice and a walk from the train station.

Nice small european hotel
The Hotel Caprera is such a historic european hotel with nice staff. I stayed for three nights in a single room. Like many european hotels in historic cities, the room was small but very clean and well kept. I enjoyed my stay and visit to Venice. Also, being near the train station was a plus

Hotel Caprera is a traditional Italian boutique hotel, in a historic building, conveniently located near the Grand Canal and walking distance from the train station. There are countless shops and restaurants within a five minute walk from the front door. The family that runs the business is friendly, courteous and provided us with excellent communication leading right up to our stay. The continental breakfast provided was simple, yet adequate, including fresh rolls, yogurt, cheese spread, expresso, etc. Things to note for your stay at Hotel Caprera: This is a nicely designed older hotel. As is common in Italy, not all rooms are air conditioned. The rooms without air conditioning have fans. If it is important for you to have an air conditioned room, make sure you request it when you reserve your room. Also, there is no elevator, but you will only need to get your luggage up the stairs once and the location would be very difficult to beat! The front desk assisted us with our luggage, which we did not expect, but absolutely appreciated. We were so happy with our experience here and will absolutely reserve a room here again if we make it back to Venice.

The hotel locates in a narrow alley from the main street. It is quite yet very close to everything you need. Extremely convenient if you need need to go to the Venice train station. We were there in the end of June when the temperature was ~25 degrees at night. There is no AC in the room, but the fan kept us cool. The only thing that bothers me a bit is that the wooden floor made noises when you walk on them. It is not noticeable during the day. But I was woken up by my partner a few times due to that noise.

There was no AC and it was scorching hot. We were not allowed to keep a key to our own room. They keep it. Expedia asked how check in went via email and I answered honestly. There is no ac and they took MY room key away from me. The next am when I left to a tour the desk clerk accosted me and screamed that I should not have reviewed him. Screamed that if I wanted a better hotel I should have booked a more expensive one.

Response from Alberto (DIRECTOR) on Jun 26, 2023
Dear Aubrey,in response to your embarrassing review,I answer you that before booking a hotel, you need to find out about the various services.First of all, it is absolutely NOT specified in our descriptions that there is an elevator.Secondly, the rule to leave the room key when you leave is a rule present in many many hotels so your comment is senseless.In addition to your request, in fact, you KEPT the key for the entire stay.As for the air conditioning,we IMMEDIATELY offered to move to a room with AC but, being on the third floor, you did NOT accept.We tried to offer you the room with AC the next day as well but you NEVER answered our calls and requests (all certified and registered on Expedia).In addition to this, you "demanded" and you are very angry that we have not brought your very heavy suitcases to the room but I think this is not possible to be demanded in a 2-star hotel and especially late at night.I think you can make complaints about things that really are problems (in fact all the positive reviews confirm this) and not about requests that are absolutely nonsense and services that are absolutely NOT listed in any description.In any case, if you are used to certain services, I advise you to go to higher category hotels which certainly do not have the price of 2-star hotels.

If seeking comfort - pass
The location is convenient to the train station and the staff is friendly. The rooms, without air conditioning are not pleasant. As well, this hotel has no lift - elevator - so being on the 3 floor with luggage and a narrow staircase - really sucked. The first night - left the windows open to try and cool down. Got eaten by mosquitoes, and heard every noise until oh-dark thirty. The furnishings were IKEA at best.

Nice hotel but one let down
Nice hotel, very conveniently located, very friendly and accommodating owners who made sure I could check in early and leave my bags on the last day prior to a late flight home. The only concern was the bed, which I found a bit uncomfortable. Perhaps more concerning, I woke up to find I had been bitten three times on my right leg and nowhere else. Not sure if this was due to mosquitoes or something more serious, e.g. bed bugs.

Hello, thank you for your review.We thank you for the positive comments but we would like to point out that in the summer in Venice (and everywhere ...) there are mosquitoes.In fact, in all our rooms, there are small repellent machines available.As far as the uncomfortable bed was concerned, it would have been enough to notify the reception and, if possible, she would have been assigned another room.His "doubt" about bedbugs is absolutely unfounded and in fact we (as a precaution) do the treatment twice a year and change the mattresses very often.No customer has ever complained about this and NEVER no bedbug has been found in our Hotel.

The speed and efficiency of the workers. The family like atmosphere and the fact they were available during a festival to help with our air conditioning. Top Notch! Clean, and the breakfast was excellent. The owner, and I think his son among others, were very friendly (they all knew Italian and English, and accepted our small knowledge of their language). Would go again if I ever came back to Venice/Venezia. I'll miss it.

Response from Alberto on Jul 18, 2022
Dearest Guest, we inform you that in our hotel, only some rooms have air conditioning and ALL rooms have a fan. For this reason, and as well specified in the information of the Hotel, it is possible to request (logically in advance) rooms with AC, with terrace, on the lower / upper floors, etc. and logically they are on request and based on availability. For this reason, it would have been sufficient to ask for it at check-in and in case it was available, a room with AC would probably have been assigned.

Lovely little hotel in an excellent location. It is a short walk from the train station and perfectly located to explore several corners of the city. Clean and convenient setting. Unfortunately the fan in the room was not ample to make my sleep convenient during hot humid Venice summer nights. So if you need a cool room temperature to be able to sleep and skip mosquitos, then opt for a place with airconditioning instead.

Decent, inexpensive stay in Venice!
This hotel in Venice had a great location very close to the train station, so close you don’t even need to cross a bridge! All the rooms are up at least 2 flight of stairs so be prepared if you have big luggage. The beds were OK, would have been nice to have more than one pillow per person, especially because they were very firm. The WC was nice and clean and soap was provided. All of the staff members were very nice and helpful. The main complaint I have is the mosquitoes. I visited in early May and we had several mosquitoes in our room both nights and it was clear this was a regular problem with the leftover bug smears on the walls. We could have left the window shut the entire time but there is no AC (as is advertised) so there was little other option.

All right
Went to Venice for the Carnival and didn’t plan too much in advance therefore it was our last choice. The room is nice and comfortable however very cold during the night. I think the window didn’t close properly. Moreover. the bathroom was very small and it was hard to get in the showers and the door was right in the middle of everything.
