Great location in a wonderful neighborhood! Breakfast eating area was a little cramped at times - had to wait for a table, but just one day out of four. Breakfast was good, staff was excellent.

Cozy rooms, great staff, great location
Quaint little hotel right on the water, with a personal touch that feels like like you’re staying in someone’s cozy home. The location is excellent, with all sorts of restaurants and attractions within immediate walking distance, and the staff are wonderful.

Venice in a day !
Staff were very helpful and accommodating to our circumstances. I was travelling with some excess baggage ( hockey equipment) They stored in their office and staged it for an early morning checkout.. very much appreciated by us. 5 stars out of 5 😊

This hotel is quite small and cramped. Location is nice but for the $, not a great value. They charged us for coffee in the afternoon and the complimentary breakfast was not so good. No hot items and no room to sit down to enjoy, 2 tables out front of hotel are at least with a view of the water. Would not choose to stay here again.

Great Hotel location for the Venice Biennale.
My wife & I have stayed quite a few times before at Hotel Ca’ Formenta and undoubtedly this is the best located Hotel in Venice to visit the 2 main Biennale sites which are only a few minutes walk away. The hotel is also conveniently located a short walk away from Arsenale boat stop which is reached fairly quickly by the Alilaguna red or blue lines from Marco Polo airport. Initially I was very disappointed to arrive late afternoon & be allocated an inferior ground floor dark, dingy and airless room for the first night of 3. However on request the Hotel did move us to a much nicer and airy Junior suite for the next 2 nights which more than made up for this. A big thumbs up to the Hotel management for sorting this out in a polite and efficient manner. Apart from the excellent location, the hotel is kept very clean & is run smoothly, the breakfast is more than adequate & the hot water for showers is copious. Venice hotels are not exactly cheap but Ca Formenta usually represents fair value for money relative to competitors. The only downside are that mattresses are extremely firm & unyielding. Sleep quality is something that many hotels are judged by so perhaps the hotel should review this situation. Also, I have been visiting for over 10 years now & the decor looks “tired” & has not changed at all in that time. Perhaps a refurbishment would help freshen things up. I would book again due to the great location but it would be great to see some investment.

The hotel is well localized at one end of via Garibaldi, mainly when the main intention is to see the Bienal (our case). Close to the Arsenale, it is possible to see it from the water boat coming from the airport. The room had an old decoration but wi-fi, refrigerator, TV and shower were working properly. There is a supermarket and many restaurants nearby.

The staff were very helpful, polite and friendly. Room was neat and well kept. Shower room was a little cramped but fine for us - people of a larger size would be uncomfortable, though. A petite shower cubicle offered ledges for toiletries and a small seat - very handy. Would stay again. Only negative was air con not in operation till June - last two nights were quite warm.

pros the double room was bigger, nice and clean with venetian style compared with the twin room, much more smaller, overall is ok for our duration of stay of 02 nights in Feb, 2018. cons need to pass through the passage way to reach the next door building to reach the room, especially with big luggage. thank you.

Good location, good distance from San Marco and away from crowd. Staff very kind and assistance Breakfast was good Rooms are bit small but understand as in Venice. Staying in a room on ground floor can be disturbed by noise from guests talking and smoking outside the only window of the room. Washmachine was very handy.

Fantastic little hotel only a 10 minute stroll from st Marks square. Large, comfortable room, we stated in room 407 which had the most beautiful views over the canal and allowed us to sit at the window and watch the most amazing sun rises and sun sets with a large glass of wine from the near by coop. Receptionist rickardo was fantastic, very friendly and helpful. My daughter loved the fact that the canal runs through the back of the hotel and there is a lovely little courtyard between the two buildings. Very quaint hotel that is very pretty and nicely decorated. Breakfast was very good, nice selection of continental breakfast. The bar next door was very reasonable and did the most fantastic pizza, all served with the most amazing view of the city. This hotel definitely enhanced our stay on Venice! Would recommend and if we were to return to Venice at sometime in the future would definitely stay again. We have left with some amazing memories, including us getting engaged!

Location Good. Stay Disappointing
Hotel is kind of central location. Check in Time is 2:pm so make sure you look at that fine prints. When sent an email to request early check in, no response received. Room was OK, bit outdated though. Temperature control wasn’t working and room was cold. When complained to reception, I was told that they only turn heating centrally, eventually I had to shiver all night under blanket. In Morning whilst having shower, due to poor drainage, water was all over on the floor and even seeped into main room. Wouldn’t recommend as for same price, one can get better rooms out here.

Great location and room
Lagoon-facing with fabulous view and sunsets, short walk to Arsenale vaporetto stop, plenty of cafes and restaurants around, comfortable room and bed. Good hot shower, otherwise en-suite bathroom needs updating. Could do with more electric sockets. Clean white sheets and towels. Breakfast not impressive - over-sweet fruit juice from a machine, tinned fruit salad with fresh apple added, coffee pretty ordinary. Home-made yoghurt cake was a welcome addition. Sat outside one evening with a drink from the small hotel bar. Free wi-Fi.
