Castello West District Residences

"This is not your typical hotel but a guest house with 4 or 5 rooms. It is right on the canal by a bridge and around the corner from a piazza, so a very lovely spot. Maria was at the front desk when we check in and was very friendly, nice and helpful. She showed us our room and the amenities, and even assisted with booking a water taxi for us for the airport for the next morning. The property is lovely and charming- note that there isn't an elevator so be prepared to carry your bags up 2 flights of stairs. The rooms are decorated to make you feel as if you've stepped into old world Venice. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom spacious. The air con is not what we are used to in the States, but the room had a standing fan and that plus the air con made it comfortable to sleep. There were a variety of restaurants not far away. I would stay here again. "

"The staff here are AMAZING; all of them were fantastically helpful making various reservations and recommendations. AC was great and the breakfast was also satisfying! It is close to many attractions. Highly recommend!!"

"This is something of a gem. A traditional Venetian hotel. Has an old school feel to it with excellent service. It is on a beautiful canal. The immediate area around the hotel is fairly quiet but very close to the action if needed. The best of both worlds. "

"Great stay Extremely comfortable "

"The personal was very kind and welcomming, the hotel is beautiful and well situated. The breakfast is good, but not the coffee. One day he was too light and taste nothing, the other this he was le goudron. One thing is little bit weird, you need to give your key at the counter when you go out, to prevent you from being steel in you room in case someone steal your key on the street. Witch is not a bad idea, unless when you came back and nobody ask you id's to get your key back."

"The fact that we could travel around Venice by boat transportation very easily just like using public transportation metro or bus but on water the hotel is very nice with beautiful decor and pretty decent breakfast."

"Pick this hotel for Venice. Less than 5 minute walk to St. marks square. Plenty of shopping and food within a 10 minute walk. Waterfront less than 2 minute walk. Hotel is on a small canal with gondolas out front. Very clean and friendly staff. Definitely will stay here again "

"Great place to stay, away from the crowds. Wonderful attentive staff. "

"Very nice!"
