Only 2 adults and 1 suitcase will fit in it. Reception is on the 4th floor. Very impressed by the security of the hotel. It provided all the toiletries and amenities we needed for a quick stay. The slippers were a nice touch. Wifi was fast and steady. They have an old style hair dryer that takes longer to dry hair so if you're hair-conscious, you might want to bring your own trusty hair dryer. Breakfast nook was quaint and charming. No cooked hot food but offered delicious prosciutto, salami and brie cheeses plus the usual croissant, toast, jam variety. We use 110v on all our gadgets so we needed an adapter. Don't worry- for 10 euro deposit, they will lend u an adaptor as well as lock and key for the room safe. Very quiet at night. There's a souvenir kiosk right outside the hotel and a gondola service steps away. English tv channels was a plus ! We loved our stay and highly recommend this boutique hotel! Thank you Lamberto for your friendly service! Tip: wake up early and walk and enjoy the stillness of gorgeous Venice before the crowds come.

It is near the best place/room location I have ever stayed in. Great food within one minute, shopping within 3 minutes - but best of all this hotel, in Dorsoduro province of Venice is very Uncrowded. It is about 20 minutes form the St Mark's touristy area, as well as Rialta bridge area. I will only stay here in Venice, and only room 41. Top floor (4th) and just incredible views. September is a great time to go, weather perfect every day in middle of month for us. Note that no matter what you will go outside the room for a toilet, which is 15 feet away. There is a bouday in room and a nice shower. Every worker was fantastic. All spoke English. Breakfast included, very nice room, with adequate nice food. Real dishes, good coffee, etc. They even warm the milk for coffee...

We stayed at La Calcina Hotel in October 2024. The hotel itself is good. The building is older and…read morehas a nice courtyard and sitting area. Overall it looks nice, although the rooms themselves could use some updating. Our bedroom was small, but had so much (unusable) furniture in it that we had to turn sideways to walk around the bed. Yet, we had no bedside tables. The bathroom was updated and the shower worked great. The hotel also helpfully arranged transportation for us, which can be daunting in a city with no cars. They offered a complimentary welcome Bellini and they had a porter for our bags. They offer a small buffet breakfast that's included in the price, and the restaurant serves good food in the evenings if you want to stay in. The staff were nice, with the notable exception of the refund issue below. Travelers should know two things: 1. NO ELEVATOR. Obviously it is an older building, but it's not retrofitted. They don't proactively tell travelers that there are 57 stairs to the 5th floor rooms. We booked a room on the 5th floor and then, after reading reviews, learned about the lack of an elevator. We had to move to a cheaper, 1st floor room because our group was unable to climb that number of stairs. The hotel would not refund the price difference. Had we known all of this at the time of booking, we would have made different plans. Suggestion: Be transparent on your website about the number of stairs / lack of elevator. 2. NO A/C when we visited. We arrived on a 74F day to be told they turn off the A/C and turn on the heat in September. Needless to say, our room was HOT. They suggested opening our room's only window, which led to dozens of mosquito bites overnight. Suggestion: Don't advertise A/C if it's only available at the hotel's discretion. Overall, we enjoyed Venice and the hotel was adequate. If staff had been able to solve the two issues above, which are largely related to transparency and customer experience, we would have had an even better experience.

Basic no-nonsense hotel near St. Mark's Basilica…read more I have a few basic requirements for a hotel room in Venice: clean, comfortable, inexpensive and near St. Mark's Basilica. There is nothing like staying up late into the night listening to the dueling orchestra's in St. Mark's Square and then a 5 minute walk back to the hotel with a smile on your face. All of those requirements are met with Ca' del Dose. There are only 6 rooms in this tiny hotel and my party of 8 nearly rented out the entire place. You have to tell them when you're arriving at the hotel so they can meet you. After that you keep your keys and you can wander in and out of the hotel like it's your own private apartment. I love that feeling! Someone comes in some time during the day and cleans your room and refills the miniscule but surprisingly tasty breakfast. Someone is at the front desk during the morning and afternoon but other than that you have the tiny place to yourself. The rooms are all basic and some rooms even have a balcony. This is one of the easiest hotels to find in Venice. From St. Mark's Basilica walk towards the gondolas, turn left at the water, keep the water to your right, go over 4 bridges and then turn left at the next alley. The hotel is on your right. Ask if they give a discount for paying in cash.

Don't forget that hot water is a luxury and that the water heater above the toilet is all the hot water you'll get. Just something to get used to and be aware of so you're not all soapy and the water turns cold. The woman at the counter was very pleasant and wanted to help us with our Italian. We had our own apartment so we had our own keys, but be advised that someone is not at the front desk 24/7 but there is a phone number in case you need someone. Just not sure how available they are.

It's great if you're self-catering - there's plenty of crockery and cutlery, a kettle, toaster, microwave, fridge and coffee machine. The host Alyosha even provides you with a mobile phone to use while you are staying there and ladies, there is a proper hairdryer and hair straightener!
