One of the best hotels I've ever stayed in. This was our first impression of Italy, and boy, did it impress. I got a junior suite that overlooked the canal, so a great view. The room was spacious and sumptuous with the decor. The bed and the pillows were extremely comfortable. The view of the canal was so relaxing and you can even sit on the window ( though don't fall-- fair warning). We were on a sunlit part of the canal so there wasn't a strong smell, unlike other parts. The room was well-cleaned and the bathroom was well thought out with an extra shelf for toiletries. The bar was amazing (shoutout to the lovely bartender, Marco!). The room was also connected to a large rest area with other beautiful couches. As for the hotel itself, it was further away in the Cannaregio area. Most people prefer to stay in the San Marco area, but while Cannaregio was a 25 minute walk away, it was nice to do after a meal to digest. Also, there aren't a ton of streetlights in Venice, but I still felt much safer than being in the US. No one gave creepy vibes which was a shock, especially during Carnevale. Still be vigilant, but it was cool to be in a safe city (no cars, bikes, scooters allowed). read more

Ai Mori d'Oriente - Electronic key! - Hotels Near Me - Venezia, VE

I was excited to stay here after reading so many positive reviews, but unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. The staff was kind and welcoming, which I genuinely appreciated. I had booked a double classic room without a view, and I was perfectly fine with that. What I wasn't okay with was the terrible smell in the room. I didn't notice it initially when I dropped off my bags in the front area of the room and went out to explore Venice. However, when I returned late that night and laid down, I realized the bed and sheets had a foul odor. I hoped it would be resolved after housekeeping came the next day, but unfortunately, the smell persisted. Room 611 should not be in use--it reeks of what can only be described as moldy dead rats, and the odor is particularly strong around the bed. I don't blame the cleaning staff; I believe this is an issue management is aware of. The condition of the room, especially the bed, is unacceptable, and it's troubling that guests continue to be placed there. read more

Walk into the lobby of this hotel and discover luxury at its finest. You will need to take a water taxi to get here comfortably, but once you arrive the lobby staff will welcome you home. The rooms are standard configured excellent for their size, very warm with old world charm and come with a cozy view of the courtyard. The bar off of the lobby is intimate and also very cozy, sit back with a good bottle of wine and a cheese plate prior to wandering off for dinner. This hotel is centrally located, you will be able to walk just about everywhere comfortably, service is phenomenal. The beds are extremely comfortable and the hotel remains very quiet throughout the night to ensure you get plenty of rest. Enjoy your stay. read more

Save your money or let them take your money! My husband and I stayed in this hotel for our honeymoon from 08/23/22 - 08/26/22. Upon arriving, we noticed that we had accidentally booked our hotel for the wrong month. Our hotel confirmation showed that we had booked a double class room on 07/23/22-07/26/22. We asked the staff if they could make an exception for us and accommodate us without having to pay any extra charges. We explained that we had already paid the $454 when he booked the incorrect dates. We also explained that we did not check-in to the hotel on those dates. Despite it being our honeymoon, the hotel did not make an exception for us. We were told that we would have to pay again. We asked if there were any rooms available, and we were told that the only room available was a deluxe room (which of course costs more money). We ended up paying $540 to stay for three nights since we had nowhere else to stay. In total, we spent $994 for three nights... If you're reading this, go elsewhere. There was no sense of hospitality or efforts made to address our matter. Also, do not waste your time going to their "complimentary" Murano Glass Tour. It's a scam. A water taxi takes you and the group to Murano. You will spend less than 10 minutes observing the glass blowing process. Afterwards, the staff will direct you to the art gallery where they will try to pressure you into buying their overly priced glass items. Do not purchase from them! You can find these glass items in the smaller neighborhoods of Venice for a more affordable price. Once you're done with the tour, you will have to find your way back. Another inconvenience. Other Info: *The television does not have cable or subtitles in English. *Laundry is $60 *There is no gym/pool Arrivederci! Non Torneremo. read more

Venice was beautiful!!! What helped our wonderful experience was staying at this hotel!!!! From the entire front management to the bartender to the dinning room staff to the maintenance personnel, everyone was courteous, welcoming, and eager to assist in any way! Rooms were cozy. Breakfast was great! Highly recommend!!!! read more

First, let me say that this hotel is beautiful and everyone is super helpful and kind. Next, The air conditioning is amazing and that's always a plus in Europe. However, the wifi was terrible. We really didn't even have wifi in our rooms. We initially had a standard room and while it was very beautiful, it was also very small and in my opinion very dark, almost like it was in the basement. So, we decided to upgrade to a Junior suite and I'm so glad we did. It was beautifully decorated with windows overlooking the canal as well as a sitting area with a balcony. Just as other hotels do, this hotel asks that you leave the key at the front desk when touring the city. This is not a big deal. You can trust them. They all do this. The breakfast here is just ok, but Ms. Nella makes it AMAZING. You should know that there is going to be A LOT of walking in Venice. Plan to do even more walking if you stay here. It's pretty much a 30 min walk to get anywhere from here. This area is beautiful, quiet and filled with locals so I'd definitely stay again. Just make sure you bring your best walking shoes. I hope this helps! read more

Stayed here on our Venice stop. My only complaint about this hotel is that it's a good 15 minute walk to get to any of the landmarks. Okay, maybe the Grand Canal is not as far if you walk at a fast pace. And also, it all depends on how fast you walk so do take that statement with a grain of salt. Other than that, the hotel was great. The room, while not that big, was nice and clean. The bed was mad comfortable (as with all the beds on all of our European stops). They serve breakfast from 7-10 am each morning. They offer scrambled eggs, bacon, a lots of different croissants, and a few juices to choose from. When you go out and explore Venezia, the hotel asks you leave your key with them, so you don't have to worry about losing it while when out and about. But, if you're paranoid about leaving hotel staff with your room key and where they will have access to your room when you're gone, you're fine. Just use the room safe if you're really concerned, but I didn't feel any less secure leaving my keys with them. I thought that was something different and kinda cool. Overall, a comfortable hotel which was a bit too far for my liking, but you're still surrounded by wonderful views of the water surrounding Venice. Oh, be sure to check out the bar. Might be a bit pricey, but it's pretty chill if you just want to stay in from the night after a day of getting lost in all of the alleys in Venice. read more

This is such a beautiful hotel! The entire hotel is exquisitely decorated with a Moorish theme and the rooms are really luxurious, comfortable and spacious. The hotel is situated on a peaceful canal roughly 25 mins from the airport via water taxi. The hotel is about a 20 min walk from lively streets of Venice - you can walk to all the main tourist spots whilst staying in a tranquil area. The staff were all extremely welcoming, very helpful and their attention to detail was impressive - they add the finishing touches to everything. The buffet breakfast was delicious. There was a wide selection of croissants, cakes, bread, cereals, fresh fruit, juices, eggs, ham etc. Once again everything was beautifully presented. The hotel has a bar that stays open until midnight. You can sit out by the canal where it's lovely and calm. The cocktails were very nice - drink is expensive but not overpriced. There is also free wifi for all guests. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Venice. I only got to stay here for one night but wish I could have stayed longer. Staying in this stunning hotel made my experience in Venice even more spectacular! read more

What a great hotel. With many options in Venice we picked this hotel based on friends staying there previously. The hotel reception was warm and welcoming and the staff were really helpful. The room was amazing with the old beams on display. The room had real character. The only small issue is the hotel is about a 40 minute walk.Cannot begin to describe how beautiful this hotel is. Arrived by water taxi, our bags were in the hotel before we looked round. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive, views of the canal were fantastic. St Marks Square was only a 20 minute walk away, the nearby restaurants were of excellent quality and far less. In Spanish Lo que un gran hotel. Con muchas opciones en Venecia escogimos este hotel basado en amigos ahí anteriormente. La recepción del hotel era cálido y acogedor y el personal fueron muy útil. La habitación era increíble con las viejas vigas en pantalla. La habitación tenía carácter real. El tema sólo pequeño es que el hotel está a 40 minutos a pie.No puede empezar a describir lo hermoso que es este hotel. Llegó en taxi de agua , nuestras bolsas fueron en el hotel antes de que nos parecía redondo. El personal era extremadamente amable y atento, vistas del canal eran fantásticas. St Marks Square fue sólo 20 minutos a pie, los restaurantes cercanos eran de excelente calidad y mucho menos. In Italian Ciò che un grande albergo. Con molte opzioni a Venezia abbiamo scelto questo hotel basato su amici rimanere lì in precedenza. La reception dell'hotel era caldo e accogliente e il personale sono stati davvero utili. La camera era incredibile con le antiche travi sul display. La stanza aveva carattere reale. La questione solo piccole è che l'hotel è a 40 minuti.Non può cominciare a descrivere come questo hotel è bello. Arrivati in taxi d'acqua, nostre borse erano in hotel prima abbiamo guardato rotondo. Il personale era estremamente cordiale e attento, la vista sul canale sono stati fantastica. St Marks Square è stata solo una passeggiata di 20 minuti, i ristoranti nelle vicinanze sono stati di ottima qualità e molto meno. read more

The staff was excellent....they all knew english. (I found over 1/2 of the Italians I met did NOT speak any english. This was the only hotel I stayed at that had a bath tub during my trip to Italy. Its off the beaten path. Its about a 10 minute walk to the Water taxi on the Great Canal....no big deal. Its very close to the Jewish Gheto. Its in a residental area and not in the center of Venice.....ultimately I enjoyed the peacefulness after walking everywhere for 3 days. Stay here....its a clean and nice hotel. read more

Ai Mori d'Oriente - Hotel view from bridge over canal - Hotels Near Me - Venezia, VE

Perfect place to stay in Venice!! The water taxi was able to deliver us right to the front door of the hotel. Adorable lobby and rooms! We had a family suite which was spacious and beautiful! Canal view which made the stay even more perfect! Loved the daily complimentary breakfast. Staff was amazing. Luca at the front desk was a gem. Nightly turn down service was nice, and they added some complementary items that made our stay even more enjoyable and lovely. Loved the more quiet/local neighborhood that the hotel is in!! Away from all the tourist crowds... but definitely close enough to everything when we wanted to be a part of it! Would absolutely recommend this place to a friend and we would stay again on another visit! read more

The location was great, relatively close to the airport and away from the crowded and overpriced tourist traps in Venice. It's close to great local restaurants and bars that the locals frequent and an easy walk into town (to San Marco square)! The staff was great, all very friendly, and they upgraded us to the suite which was huge with two floors and two full bathrooms, a couch that opened up as a bed and air conditioning! Definitely a must stay while you're in Venice! read more

The boy and I booked this place for our last leg of our European adventure. The hotel isn't located in the heart of the San Marco area, in fact it is located in the Canareggio area of Venice, which isn't a bad thing, since everything is more or less a 20-30 minute walk and you can really get a chance to soak up the "romance" of the Venice atmosphere. Plus there aren't as many of the day tripping and tour group tourists in this area - so it would make you feel a little less touristy. We had booked our stay through hotels.com, which made the stay price tag a bit easier for my liking. Otherwise, Venice hotels at least a "4" star or higher do get really pricey. The standard hotel room isn't too bad. It is a nicely appointed and the standard bed is an ok size, meaning a queen sized bed are two twins pushed together. The washroom was big size with a good sized bathtub with a decent shower head. The only downside to the bathroom was that there was no fan in the washroom, thus no ventilation in the bathroom. The heated towel rack was a great touch as well. The room walls are a bit too thin for my liking, as we had some obnoxious people next door, who had left their tv on at all hours of the day, and once we had complained to Front desk about the noise; our neighbors next door did turn TV off, but there was constant banging and thumping through out night, which made it very difficult to sleep in general. On one hand, when we had complained about the noise, we should have asked straight out for another room; however the hotel staff desk also did not offer us the option. Since it was our last night, we figured it wasn't worth making a huge issue over it. But it did ruin our stay a little. Wifi is complimentary, but you do need to ask for a code - make sure you ask for the one that offers 24hrs, which means you have 24 hrs total of Internet and it auto logs you off after a certain amount of time; so in some ways it was a bit annoying, but it did get very spotty in the hotel room, which it dropping quite a bit. The breakfast here is decent, I would say go for the Blood Orange juice and pick up any of their croissants (5 options to choose from, plain, honey, chocolate, apricot, and savory) with coffee (one of those mega machines that offer you anything on the basic coffee options - although tea options are a bit more limiter) Bonus perks If you get turndown service - they provide you with a weather report for the next day, so you know whether or not you need to prepare for Aqua Alta. They, also, provide umbrellas on loan if you forget to pack one. In the morning - they have a free boat ride out to the glassblowing studios in Murano - yes it is a one way trip and it is a sales pitch - but it is a quick way to get out there, rather than walking to the Orto Vaporetto stop and taking the 41/42 out to Murano. If you arrive early, drop your stuff off - they store your luggage in a locked room complete with bellboy to guard it and they will take it up to your room, once you have fully checked in. The front desk staff are really nice and do try to accommodate you and provide excellent directions and recommendations, whether you are looking for food to eat or directions to a place. Also, keep the windows closed - there are Mosquitos in Venice, even in November, read more

Amazing hotel in the heart of Venice right on one of the canals. We LOVED this place. Great customer service. INCREDIBLE room and great breakfast. The bed was the most comfortable one we slept on in Italy. We have nothing negative to say about this hotel. They were so great getting us oriented with the city and we had an option to take a boat tour from the hotel on the canal. Definitely do this...it is so worth it. We would definitely come back! read more

I had dinner at the Mori d'Oriente's restaurant and was very pleased with the food, service and atmosphere. They make a killer martini and the canal-side seating is very nice. The tables are above average in setting quality: flowers, candles, silver and plating making for a very romantic atmosphere, especially after dark. This place is on the far north side of Venice, so there is less heavy tourist traffic...which makes for a much more pleasant dining experience. read more

If you don't mind the little extra walk, this is a nice little hotel away from the busy St. Mark's Square. The rooms were clean, beds kinda hard but that's typical of many hotels in Italy. The staff is very nice, and the free breakfast was impressive - lots of choices. I'd definitely stay here again! read more

Unsafe & Sketchy Location; Threatening Menaces Lurking; Difficult & Unhelpful Staff; Nonfunctional & Dirty Rooms After seeing this hotel was rated so high I was excited to book it but I should have paid more attention to the "TERRIBLE" Reviews as they were more accurate. My husband and I stayed here for two days and did not like it at all. The entire time we just had bad vibes from the staff and surrounding area that we were not in a safe environment. Sketchy Location & Threatened Safety: I am not sure if it was due to the time of year (December), but the location of our hotel was SO secluded that we did not feel safe walking the streets after dark to our hotel. There was NO ONE around except a few sketchy threatening individuals. To be more specific, right after we checked into our hotel and headed out we met a young man on the corner of the street that the Hotel was on. He was well dressed and seemed normal but when we walked by him he took off his (very expensive) hat and held it out to ask for change. We politely said "No, I'm sorry." with a smile and he proceeded to follow us as he yelled, curse us out, and threatened to harm us. This was in broad daylight before noon and this man was on this corner every hour of every day doing the same thing. We did not feel safe and eventually resorted to going out of our way to avoid him. When asking the hotel staff for better routes to take they simply denied any problems saying, "Oh No Venice is very safe, nothing is wrong, we won't acknowledge that". ***Refer to other reasons why safety and security were an issue. Awkward & Unhelpful Staff: When my husband and I arrived to check in at 9am the front desk told us that they could not check us in until 3pm even though the hotel claimed to offer 24 Hour Check-In on any booking sites that specified. After bringing this to their attention, they just "surprisingly" had a room ready in 5 minutes. ***The staff then informed us that we had to leave our key at the front desk every time we leave the hotel, a strange request when I asked them why since it is an electronic key, and so are the housekeeping keys as well as everyone else's. It seemed that they just would like to know when we were away from our room which was frankly none of their business and they never seemed to explain why this process was necessary and therefore I refused to abide by it. Dusty Room & Flooded Bathroom: The walls, fixtures and fittings were dusty in our room with spider webs hanging from the ceiling and the bathroom flooded every time we showered due to poor plumbing and sealing. ***The "room safe" the hotel claimed to have was so small you can hardly fit a packet of crisps in it. More specifically, neither our Nikon D300 Camera OR our Microsoft Surface could fit in there by themselves. This is hardly a four-star hotel and I would never stay here again. read more

Perfect venue to avoid the crowds headed to St Marks Square. Rooms are sized nicely. Ours was a superior with a 20'x20' balcony. Great service, wonderful staff and room includes breakfast. Easy walk to most points of interest in Venice. Sort trip by water taxi. read more
