Nice stay, excellent service
Overall it was a great stay - service was excellent and staff very helpful. Guests should make sure to confirm their time of arrival as seems like owner has 2 hotels and sometimes only one staff person is available to manage check-ins for both locations, and there is no one available to open the door. Other than that, great hotel with good location. Free breakfast is a huge plus.

Very nice hotel
This was a very nice, clean hotel. The staff were all very nice. The breakfast buffet was a really nice addition. The only downside was the very tiny shower. There was nowhere to put your soap or shampoo and if you dropped them, there is no space to pick them up - not even space to lift and wash your feet.

A hidden gem
The hotel was very comfortable and the staff were very helpful and friendly. It is ideally located for St Marks and Rialto. The only criticism is that the bathroom in our room, the large blue room, was tiny: avoid it if you can’t get into a cramped space. Otherwise, I can’t recommend this hotel highly enough.

The location of the Locanda Canal is very good being close to many restaurants and Saint Mark’s Square. However, our bathroom was extremely small and lacked basic amenities such as shampoo and conditioner. The included breakfast was also quite disappointing.

Decent Hotel with Thin Walls
My stay at the Hotel Locanda Canal was average to above average. I cannot think of anything negative to comment on about the property or the staff. The only thing that I would complain about is the fact that the walls are relatively thin, so if you are a light sleeper, pleaae keep that in mind. I was in a room at the top of the stairs, so I heard everything and everyone that happened to be outside ouf my room.

Great hotel for seeing the sites, 5 mins to St Marks square and not much further to The Rialto Bridge in the other direction. Room was a good size, we had a triple room, and it overlooked the canal. We emailed hotel beforehand and they sent directions from the airport. Small breakfast area but this was not a problem. Good variety for a small hotel.

Average priced but feels like I overpaid..
Located in the middle of 4 different connecting bridges to local areas. Very far from the Santa Lucia station so it's difficult for visitors to get to - walking briskly took about half an hour. Reserved a non-smoking room but received a room where there was an obvious lingering cigarette smell in the air. Reserved a queen bed room and received 2 twin beds pushed together. Not the end of the world but worth mentioning.

Nice hotel with elegant rooms, typical small baths requiring shower repairs; good breakfast very nice stuff. Its location is somehow hard to find due to the Venice's maze. You would need an actual map as the GPS signal keeps bouncing around, making it useless....

Don't go !
room not as booked .First given a room 1 queen 1 z bed despite booking 1 queen 2 singles .We were told by a very uncivil night porter that he could do nothing . Next day given a room with one queen and one single so my sister and I had to settle with sharing a bed .Breakfast very meagre and area to eat it in was totally unsuitable ,far too small cramped and uncomfortable .People had to move to let you to your seat and we were almost eating at same table as others .We counted number of rooms and there simply were not enough tables to take the amount of guests .On our last morning one couple had to stand and wait for a table !

Great hotel overall, but breakfast service can be improved: we had to wait to have breakfast for 20 minutes couse they only had 4 tables in the breakfast area. The lady serving the breakfast was overwhelmed, couldn't prioritise and couldn't speak English. Overall a good hotel though.

Good location
Location good. Front desk friendly and helpful; he photocopied our passports, said it was for the police and required by law. Breakfast was ok with yogurt, bread, and unknown bologna meat. Breakfast lady seemed stressed when too many people showed up at once. Bathroom door did not close or lock; maybe it is a Venice thing with building settling. One of our beds had springs in them so it was uncomfortable.

Venice is beautiful!
Venice is beautiful. The winding streets around the hotel are packed with interesting shops, restaurants, and cafes. Everything is super close to the hotel, with about a 25min easy walk from the train station. The hotel room is small but big enough for two to sleep and move about in. The front of house staff and housekeeping are all super friendly and helpful. The Wi-Fi was woeful, however. Great stay otherwise.

Hard to find hotel, not on the "beaten track".
This hotel is difficult to find, even with GPS and help from strangers. It is not in very good condition either. Upon entering, you are met with a small, shabby lobby with a set of stairs that has carpet badly in need of replacing. Once up the stairs, the sitting room and breakfast area are quite nice, but cramped. The room was in a terrible state - chunks out of the wall and beat up furniture. The only saving grace was that the staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely warn people away from this hotel.

Typical Hotel in this Price Range?
This appears to be a typical hotel in this location & price range. That is to say, it is overpriced for what you get, but that seems to be the market. I'm certainly no expert on Venice hotels, but that's my opinion. The location is actually pretty darn good for the money, as it is a short walk from Piazza San Marco & some nice shopping streets, with plenty of restaurants and stores. it's a tiny place, with a small reception desk just inside the door, then a winding staircase to the 1st Floor, where all rooms are located (8?) radiating off of a lounge/business center/breakfast room. My room was to the back, through the breakfast area, which made it both difficult to navigate & a bit noisy in the morning, as I could hear the clinking & other preparations for the morning breakfast (which is included in price but is nothing exceptional). The room was a decent size, although the bathroom was cramped for someone my size, especially the shower! The double bed was large enough (not a universal experience for me in Italy) & of decent comfort. There was evidence of some damage/abuse & maybe some dampness around the walls, but it's Venice....I doubt you can avoid dampness. It did lead to a slight musty smell in the wardrobe, which was no doubt contributed to by the age of the furniture. I did like that there was a safe in the wardrobe. The A/C worked well, although due to the humidity there was some condensation forming on the soffit over the entry corridor.
