The proprietor is Claudia and she was extremely receptive and helpful, providing very easy to understand instructions the entire way. The building is a mere 3 minute walk from the nearest vaporetto station (Giglio) and the location is excellent. Close to everything but just far enough from the hustle and bustle of the Square. Very quiet, and the room has all the amenities one would expect from a well-run B&B. Spent 3 nights here and hope to return someday. 😊👍

This is a great bed and breakfast in an excellent position. It's just off the main route to St Mark's Square, so is quiet but very central. The room was plenty large enough, with good storage, and the bathroom was excellent. The decor is old, but that's typical in Venice, and there was no view (but again, typical unless you're in a much more expensive property). The breakfast was good, all the staff are friendly and helpful (speak English too), and the place is secure and safe. I'd certainly recommend it as a really good place to stay at a reasonable price.

Great Stay
The front desk was very helpful and gave us some great food recommendations. Breakfast at the B&B was a small buffet but had more variety than I had expected. The area is walking distance from St. Marks Square. The room was clean and comfortable. We would definitely recommend this place.

Nice and spacious room
A nice place and a little hard to find, but worth it. You have to walk quite a bit so if you have a lot of luggage, you should consider leaving your belongings at the train station.

Quiet part of San Marco.
We arrived via train to Venice and took the water bus to the stop near Zaguri. Check in was pretty smooth, we had to wait outside for a few minutes for someone to answer though. Bennadetta checked us in and gave us a few recommendations, one of which was our best meal in Italy. It was in a quiet part of san marco which was nice getting away from the tourists.

Great location with friendly hosts
Mario was very nice and friendly, checking us in without hurrying us even though we arrived later than expected after getting lost. It was nice to have breakfast each morning, and the location is excellent for main tourist sites. Our quad room was spacious, though the cot bed was not particularly comfortable. Be aware that there is a flight of stairs and no elevator, if that is a problem for you.

Hidden Gem in Venice
This B&B is hidden in plain sight, just off one of the main routes to/from St. Marks Square - a brilliant place to be. Room was spacious, light, quiet, clean and well decorated. Staff were friendly, let us check in early and gave us a place to securly leave bags for the day before we departed for the airport. Airport waterbus is just a 2 min walk away.

Great location
We were made to fill very welcome in this well located,quite and comfortable location with special welcoming glass of wine and fruit plate. Quality and value restaurants very near as are main attractions. Our hosts handled my medical emergency by calling her doctor for advice and organising a water ambulance which came promptly and within 2 hrs I was discharged All for $60 which included on time follow up appiontment. We proved to be the guests from hell as the next day my wife's wallet was stolen.our hosts facilitated the necessary phone calls. They are the perfect hosts. Tips: keep numbers to report stolen cards seperate, avoid back packs, only take cash required for the particular outing or card in very secure pocket, Walks of Italy are great Avoid City Tours at all costs

good location
Hotel Zaguri is more of an old style pensione than a hotel -- no one is there during the day. The location is perfect - not in the heart of the madness of Venice, but central to get there and just about everywhere easily. It's an easy walk from the S. Maria del Giglio vaporetto stop, so if you're taking the Alilaguna boat from the airport it's easy. Air conditioning in the room worked well which was an added bonus.

Helpful information in this review!
After reading hundreds of reviews, we settled on this place which had good ratings and decent price (for Venice). The place was clean, the staff friendly, the Italian-style breakfast good. Here are a couple of things I'd like to pass on to other guests. 1. The email they send you with map and directions for getting from the train station were spot-on and got us there with no problem. 2. IMPORTANT When you arrive at the B&B, you will see a huge wooden door and a number of doorbells (there are also a few apartments in the building). Ring the bell for the Zaguri, and someone answer the intercom, you tell them who you are and they will buzz you in. You'll enter a small entryway, go to the second wooden door in front of you, and then head up the stairs on your left where the staff member will meet you and give your key. (NOTE - this would be a helpful addition to the instructions). 3. Our room was air conditioned, but the unit (see photo) is portable, so you have to open the window to run a hose outside.This means the window is open, so mosquitoes can come in - we used the curtains to block the openings. The unit It is also very noisy. 4. On our last afternoon, our A/C unit started making suck a terrible noise so we couldn't use it. I called and left messages for both numbers they gave us, and nobody ever responded. There is no staff on-site except from about 8 am- noon, so good luck if something goes wrong.

Good B&B but expensive; hard to find even by GPS
Generally, our experience was positive. The location from the terminal is great, and the place was clean and spacious. It's not cheap but breakfast comes we great selection of foods. We had a hard time looking for the place, and the staff is hard to contact by phone and e-mail. We couldn't get any response in all our correspondence.

Charming Bed and Breakfast with Great Location
Sweet Bed and Breakfast at the Maria San Giglio Vaporetta stop. From here, you can catch the Vaporetta #1 and get to any stop from Lido to P.le. Roma in either direction. It is also a 10-minute walk to St. Mark’s Square. We had a room for 4 which consisted of 4 twin beds. The bathroom was spacious but we were a little tight for space in the room. There are a lot of breakfast options that includes pastry, boiled eggs, meat, cheese, cereal, coffee and juice. Breakfast is served at 8:15. We had an early morning and they provided a cold breakfast for us in our room the afternoon before. There was a small refrigerator in the room that they put the yogurt, cheese/meat, eggs and butter. Then provided pastries and jellies. Very nice to accommodate if you have an early start in your schedule. You will have to bring your luggage up a flight of stairs to get to your room. Very nice hospitality and location.

A nice location, good breakfast, lovely owner.
This is a lovely bed and breakfast. The owner is a very sweet couple who treated us to snacks and drinks on our arrival. Breakfast was very good. Location is good. They did have an AC that they turned on for us (I think they thought we were crazy ; ). They weren't hot, but we're hot natured and I was already sweating). The hostess on the first day was very friendly and helpful. She wasn't there on the second day but someone else was but she wasn't as friendly. My only complaint is this - We stored our luggage there after we checked out and when we came to retrieve it, we needed to use the bathroom before we got on the water taxi. After much begging, they allowed us to use one.

Surprise weekend in Venice.
The hotel was in a fantastic position, close to many of the main attractions and just off the Grand Canal. The staff were particularly helpful and had our room ready for our early arrival. They also looked after our luggage on our departure day to save us dragging it around all day. Breakfast was tasty and plentiful and we would certainly book again.

Lovely B&B with spacious rooms at great location
Lovely B&B with spacious rooms and space in the heart of Venice. Great location , few minutes beautiful view walk to St Mark's square and Accademia bridge. Very easy access to the hotel from Marco Polo airport, straight to vaporetto station which is very close to the hotel. Very helpful staff. Reminding us the change of the time and thinking about leaving us breakfast is we need to check out early, very thoughtful. Also, it's great to come across a canal when you open the doors of the hotel. Definitely recommended.

Nice room and good location at a reasonable price. Our room overlooked a small canal. The size of the room was fine with a decent shower.The continental breakfast was simple but adequate and the staff were helpful. We were given a map with suggestions on places to see that we would have missed otherwise. I would definitely book again.

Centrally located b and b easy to find in venice
The staff spoke good English and gave us clear instructions to get to property. They were extremely helpful in giving us lots of useful information and helping us to book a bus on theinternet when we left. Nothing seemed too much trouble. It was just a few minutes walk from vaporetta station on grand canal so very central to use transport or walk to main places of interest.
