We stayed here overnight post-cruise. Location is great! Lamberto replied timely to my emails days…read moreprior to checking in. There are 3 steps before reaching the building's small elevator. 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.

They are very welcoming the rooms are big and clean the heater works great and the bathroom have space and free breakfast I can't complain plus it is convenient for everything. Definitely will suggest this place but there is a funky smell when you come in on the first floor.

Cyndy's Bottom Line: A great location to take in all the tourist attractions!…read more Our stay at the Corte Grimani was excellent. We had lots of room to include a kitchen and dining room area. You can have a party! There is an extra charge if you use the kitchen but not for me! The staff was very helpful especially with setting up our water taxi to the airport.

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.

The apartment was well equipped and comfortable with a tiny kitchenette shared with Uncle Alvaro, a washing machine, a good bathroom, good WiFi and a super comfortable bed. 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!

Wonderful choice in Venice away from the crowds and in a wonderful neighborhood. We found this…read moreguest house on booking and even though it was a little more expensive than the other cities we had been in the amenities and hospitality were beyond amazing. Our host was very kind and efficient, available when we needed him and welcoming. The guest house is located close to the Vapretto to the airport and close to local restaurants and shops away from the center which is better for the prices. San Marco plaza was like 20-25 minutes away.

The Hotel Montepiana is a small hotel located in Mestre which is a convenient location for visiting…read morethe wonderful city of Venice. The hotel prices are much more reasonable and Venice can be easily accessed by train or bus within 30 minutes or less. The Hotel is located reasonably central to the many restaurants, shops and bars and it is also close to the railway station and also buses to Venice Airport. It is located on a quiet residential area which meant a good nights sleep without outsider noise. It has to be said that this hotel is basic but rooms do have en-suite bathrooms, a colour TV, air conditioning and free wi-fi which is not something you always get at 5 star hotels for some reason! There are no meals available but a light continental breakfast is available-this is very basic as per most Italian breakfast offerings outside of the larger hotels but pastries, tea/coffees and juices were offered and breakfast seemed to be included in most of the room rates. The owners, who are welcoming and friendly, actually encouraged us to take breakfast one morning even though we had missed serving times an were on our way out for the day which was a good service. They speak a little English but the night porter-although friendly-spoke next to no English so with our limited Italian checking out early on the last morning to catch a flight and having to pay the bill by card was a little tricky so perhaps best to sort out the check out and billing with the owners during the day. I will give this 3 stars as a small hotel establishment not directly comparable with a larger hotel-when we next visit Venice and plan to stay in Mestre we would consider staying here again as well as shopping around for other options in the area.
