If you just want a room with a view, eeehh… NO! If you want cleanliness, comfort, and helpful staff, book another location. First, the staff sounds and looks like they woke up on the wrong foot every day. The rooms are small (and we paid for a double room with a view to the “Bacino di San Marco”). There is no way the room was 269 sq.ft. They want to pass old and worn out fixtures and furniture for classical “venetian” decoration. And the T.V. size is a joke, and the reception is even worst (meaning no reception and frozen images). The bathtub/ jacuzzi had dirty, brown jets. I can’t recommend this hotel for any reason. There are several other hotels with similar views and cost that one can pick.

The Locanda Vivaldi is one of the most enviably situated hotels in Venice. I stayed in a standard double room which was furnished in traditional Venetian style with red wall hangings and dark wood furniture. There was a good-sized wardrobe with lots of hangers and a two drawers in the lovely dressing table. A very easy to operate safe and a minibar with room to store your own water were both very welcome, as were the complimentary slippers. The bathroom is reasonably sized, but the shower cubicle was quite small and the shower itself had to be switched on, which was a novelty. Plenty of fluffy towels were available. You need to advise reception/concierge of what time you'd like breakfast, but this enables them to provide guests with freshly cooked eggs and bacon, which were excellent. Guests are also offered cereals, muesli, fruit, orange juice or water and a choice of hot drinks, and a plate of delicious breads and pastries will be brought to the table. It is also possible to book dinner at the small rooftop restaurant La Preta Rossa, and its worth it just for the views, let alone the fabulous food - the steak was the best I've eaten this year and it was great to be able to thank "Cheffy" for the delicious dinner The reception/concierge team are all most helpful and welcoming, and if you are looking for a hotel with fine service, beautiful views and excellent transport links, the Hotel Locanda Vivaldi is a great choice.

We loved staying here. It was beautiful and the staff was always super nice and helpful. There was a great violin concert at the church next door. Easy to get to and get around since it's near the water bus stop. The views from the room are amazing and the rooftop bar/restaurant was outstanding.

I hate to bash this hotel but those people who have this hotel a superb rating must never have traveled before. First, the staff at this hotel are friendly and wonderful and were the only good part. The rest of the hotel wa disappointing. The pictures online are so deceptive. I'm sure this was a fabulous hotel in the 1950s but today, it's completely outdated. The charm of an old world style doesn't work when everything is just OLD. A serious update is needed here. Run down, small, and just not worth the money spent. Location is fantastic right on the Grand Canal but the entire hotel needs to be renovated.

Centrally located close to piazza San Marco. But overpriced and not a 4* hotel. I was staying in venice on business and needed somewhere central so it was convenient. But the bed was very uncomfortable and hard with only very minimal bedding. The room and bathroom were clean but very outdated decor and furniture. And none of the facilities you would expect from a 4 star - for example no tea or coffee making facility in room and no iron / press for clothes. In the Downstairs reception area there was very old-fashioned furniture and nowhere comfortable to sit. It was very very disappointing for the price. The only upside was the central location and the front of house staff were helpful & friendly. But the hotel really needs updating and the bed was so uncomfortable.

Delicious Breakfast
This cozy hotel has a comfortable old fashioned lobby, good vibes and conveniently located near the San Marcos ferry station and a short walk to San Marcos Piazza. Our room, bed and shower were quite small but well maintained and clean. The reception staff were all very kind and helpful. The breakfast which was very generous and delicious was served by a shorthanded but pleasant and efficient restaurant staff.

The hotel is literally minutes walk from all the major attractions. And man the view from the hotel room is breathtaking. The staffs there are so friendly and helpful and efficient. The check in process was amazing. The hotel staff will put your luggage in your room while doing the check in and then get you in the elevator and he will climb up the stairs to wait for you at the elevator door on your floor to take you to your room. 5 star service

The hotel is conveniently located near the pier S.Zacharria; the toiletery are expectional - nicely packaged & many choices; breakfast was good quality; & service @ front desk was helpful. However, our room is probably @ the worst location, there were windows on both sides, but 1 facing the back area with machines humming all the time, even with the two layers of windows shut, you can still hear it. The other window facing the side alley, ie, the side if the building next door, not much to see hear. This is a big problem with Expedia where you cannot choose the kind/grade of room except for how many beds, I've faced this problem before! Also, to my surprise, we stayed here for 2 nights, but there was no cleaning of our room. And on the 2nd night, for some reason there suddenly appeared a lot of quite large size mosquitoes in the bathroom, though they don't seem to bite on people, but it was still a troublesome thought to me.

Dear Sirs, we thank you for your review. We inform you that the Hotel has different categories of rooms that you can choise, and we are at your disposal for any particular request. Our rooms are cleaned daily and coverture is done in the evening, so if the cleaning was not done for 2 days maybe there was a misunderstanding with your request. As for mosquitoes, we have not been informed, unfortunately in Venice we do have a lot of mosquitoes. In Hotel we do have spray and repellant available. Whatever your need, you can contact the concierge, we are at your disposal to help you, Included the possibility to change the room, in the event that you don't like the booked one. We stay at your disposal. Reception
