My stay at Palazzo Odoni was absolutely wonderful. We were greeted not only by Alessandro at the…read morefront desk but also by the hotel dog, Maffy! Everything about Palazzo Odoni deserves an A+. Palazzo Odoni Location: A+ What a great location in the lagoon. After arriving at Marco Polo Airport, my husband and I took the ATVO bus to Piazzale Roma. From Piazzale Roma, walking to Palazzo Odoni took less than five minutes. Similarly, when we checked out of Palazzo Odoni and walked to the train station, we also had a five-minute walk. I loved the courtyard entrance into Palazzo Odoni. When entering the courtyard before walking up the stairs, you would never know that you're in a city with hundreds of people outside. The courtyard was so quiet that I could have heard a pin drop. Palazzo Odoni Staff: A+ I emailed Palazzo Odoni about a week prior to my arrival in Venice to inquire about making reservations for lunch at Enoteca ai Artisti after I experienced problems contacting the restaurant via phone. Alberto at Palazzo Odoni was very kind to call the restaurant on my behalf and schedule a reservation for us. (By the way, that restaurant was incredible!) Alessandro was very helpful with giving us directions and advice on getting around the city. We arrived about 45 minutes before our room was ready, and he provided us coffee on the house during our wait. One more note about the staff: Palazzo Odoni also comes with a hotel dog. That's an A+ no matter what. Palazzo Odoni Rooms: A+ Our room was small and quaint but very clean and lovely. The view from the room and bathroom were wonderful! The Venetian-themed decor was pretty and very fitting for the whole building. Our room was quiet, and we slept very well. Palazzo Odoni Food: A+ The breakfast at Palazzo Odoni was incredible! The croissants and small pastries were fresh and delicious. Also available were meats, cheeses and fruits, which were also fantastic. Even the morning coffee was wonderful. Everything about Palazzo Odoni -- the convenient location, courteous staff, Maffy, the wonderful rooms and the great food -- made our stay in Venice absolutely perfect. If and when I return to Venice, Palazzo Odoni will be my one and only choice for a hotel. I absolutely recommend it.

This place could be so much more... Let me start off by…read moresaying that this was not my first time in Venice, so I am very familiar with Canal and Venice life. Also, it's not my first time at a Residence style apartment, so we knew what to expect. We spent 3 nights in Venice before joining a cruise. We wanted a residence style apartment because we enjoy going to the local stores, buying fresh meats, cheeses, breads, and olives for breakfasts. A great way to taste the local fare. The building has a rich history, rooms are nicely decorated and spacious. HOWEVER!! What is not mentioned on the website, is that you climb 48 steps to get to the hotel entrance. Fine for us, but I saw several guests for the Residence and Hotel (same place, by the way) that were struggling to bring their luggage up and down. The attendant front desk to the Hotel, which shares the hallway as the Residence, refuses to help in any way. This was explained beforehand, however a friend that was traveling with us got a small cut on his arm from one of their glass lamps while checking in, and asked the attendant for a tissue to stop the bleeding. The man said no, because my friend wasn't a guest at the hotel portion. Shame. Also, in our apartment, there were 2 air-conditioning and heating units. Neither one worked. It was 85 during the day during our stay, and the sun heats up the rooms quite a bit, so at night it was miserably hot. So, the first night, we had the windows open to let the cool air in. We had a canal facing room, and EVERYTHING echoes up and down the canal, including boat noises, travelers and locals walking, talking, laughing, and singing. We finally closed the windows at 2AM and sweated the night out. And for the next 2 nights as well. Our friend's apartment didn't have a working air-conditioner either, nor did the 2 German girls next to us. All said it was too hot to sleep comfortably. Now let's talk cleanliness. I have included pictures. The air vent in the bathroom had a thick layer of dust. So did all the furniture not at waist height, such as the coat racks. There were stains on the wall from spilt wine from a previous guest that never was cleaned. The curtains were torn, and smelled of cigarette smoke. The floor between the living room and bedroom had chunks taken out of the concrete, and when you walk past, you step on little concrete pebbles. The place really needed a good cleaning. When you want someone to clean the room, you leave a note on the door, otherwise they don't come. This is fine, except when they do come, all they do is make the bed and empty trash. No clean towels, no clean sheets, no replacement of soap. My wife went to complain, but there was nobody in the Residence office, which was most of the time. So, she talked to the Hotel attendant (remember, they are separate, yeah right), and he thankfully went to the hall closet and got fresh supplies for us. This same Hotel attendant also came to our room at 9:00 PM, the night before we were due to leave, and said that Michele, the owner, sent him to collect the money for the rooms. Unbelievable. Michele, please put some effort into the Apartments. Like I said, this please could be awesome, but it failed.

The price range also reflect the diversities of the hotels, ranging from under $100 to $1,000+ per night. Well, for our first stay, we chose the Bauer I'll Palazzo, based on location and our affordability. We wanted a luxury hotel, in the heart of things. And I mean literally right there! The hotel is on the Grand Canal. There's a gondola station right in front. The main shopping avenue is right in front with all the high end boutiques within a 5 minute walk. Then St. Mark's Square is also within a 5 minute walk. We stayed in a Deluxe room with partial canal view. The room was decorated in traditional Venetian style with antique furniture and marble bathroom. Luxurious, decadent, comfortable and functional. Our room also included breakfast buffet and tea time (on rooftop terrace). Breakfast on the patio on the Grand Canal is the best way to start any day, and the buffet is excellent. But sipping a cup of cappuccino, looking at the Grand Canal is a memory I will always treasure. Tea time on the roof terrace is so relaxing, I have dozed off a few times to the sounds of the city. They serve a selection of sliced meats, cheeses and fruits with teas, coffees or soft drinks. The Concierge service was outstanding! They helped us get around, find places to eat, arranged transportation and even arrange for a tour to Murano! Wonderful place to stay, so much so that we cancelled the other 5 star hotel we booked for the end of our cruise and returned here!

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.

As we were to learn later, the plazas in ancient Venice were the places where residents farmed and produced food for the inhabitants. And while food is no longer being produced, these places are the centers of sustenance for the many visitors arriving to the floating city. Albergo Antico Capon is located in one of the best of these Campos or plazas - the Campo Margarita. And Not only is the location a prime one, but so is the service and the food. Regarding the location, it is so centrally located that when we visited were entertained as we sat at the tables outside by the graduating classes of Doctors from the university. Their chants of "Doctore! Doctore!!" filled the air with such joy and enthusiasm that we couldn't help but welcome a couple of the students and their friends over to our table and invited them over for a couple of drinks! All in all, stop at Albergo Antico Capon if you're visiting Venice, and Campo Margarita. It's the perfect location to grab a bite, get a drink, and enjoy the magnificent view and life of the plaza!
