Hotel La Locanda di Orsaria - Venice

7.9

very nice stay here. breakfast could have been better. we enjoyed our stay here. recommend this hotel with a 3star

9.9

A super location with the train station being just down the block, and a short walk to all the common areas. The owner goes above and beyond the call of duty to please everyone at breakfast, which we thought was plentiful compared with other hotels we've stayed at in Italy. It's super clean and comfortable. It's also in a quiet location which was much appreciated after noisy tourist interactions. Enjoy!

9.5

As a senior citizen, I am so appreciative of the superb service I received from all of the staff.

9.9

What a wonderful hotel - ideally located with wonderful staff and the cappuccino delicious. Had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would recommend it again.

9.1

This hotel was in a very convenient location for the train station, as well as being close to the lively area surrounding the Ferrovia bridge. Our room was very comfortable, with windows overlooking a neighbouring garden - so very quiet also. The only thing I didn't like was a very limited selection at breakfast - but what there was was tasty and the service good. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

9.8

Molto sorridenti e simpatici le persone dell'albergo, notadamente alla prima colazione, momento ben intimista, famigliale...

8.1

This is a perfect small hotel for a short stay in Venice. We had 2 families with 4 kids ranging from 8 to 16. The family room was more spacious than we expected, but the bathrooom was small. Very manageable, though. The hotel is very close to the train station, 10 minute walk or 1 vaparetto stop from the bus station. We recommend the vaparetto since there are some bridges you have to walk over. If you are exhausted and it's hot, it's a lot of extra work. We walked and we were sorry. Great location if you are going on a cruise. Super cappaccinos in the morning and a great European breakfast. The owner makes a great hot chocolate for the kids, too. It was perfect for our family. Great email correspondence with the staff and they spoke very good english. A little pricey, but then everything's that way with the horrible exchange rate right now. We didn't let that ruin our trip, though. We would recommend this hotel to friends, most definitely.

9.8

good location, friendly staff. Will stay in this hotel during my next trip to Venice.

9.9

The staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. The room was comfortable and had an awesome shower. We had a lovely view from our room and the breakfast room was cozy and stocked with yummy items. I highly recommend it!

8.2

We enjoyed our 1 night stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and well-furnished as was the rest of the hotel. It was in a very accessible site close to the station and easy to find.

9.0

Great location if you are arriving by train--2 minute walk. Very nice area for shopping and restaurants and just strolling. Handy for the cruise ship terminal,too A short walk--over 3 bridges--or 1 stop on the vaporetto to the free shuttle that takes you to the ships. Very welcoming hotel, nice choice at breakfast including wonderful cappuccino!I will stay there again. There is no elevator so you do have to carry your luggage up the stairs!!

9.1

Excellent welcome and service. If ecev in Venice again, I surely know where I will stay.

9.3

We were looking for a reasonably priced, clean, safe hotel near the train station and were not disappointed. The employees were delightful and competent. The proximity to restaurants, shops and the vaporetta was another plus for the hotel. We would definitely stay there again.

9.3

The hotel was quite nice, in a very good location for those traveling with luggage. Please note the hotel has no elevator- so pack light..Staff is very friendly. Price is very reasonable for staying in Venice. Would recommend take the Water Taxi throughtout Venice - very easy to travel on and off. The Vaperetto is right down the alley from Hotel. Many restaurants to choice from with the Area of Hotel.

8.5

Este hotel es pequeñito y acogedor,con el encanto de los lugares no masificados, limpio y todo esta en su sitio. Utilizamos una habitación cuadruple que era espaciosa para cuatro personas.El trato es muy amable por parte de todos los empleados y Renato es encantador. La localización es inmejorable, se llega desde el aeropuerto MARCO POLO con un autobus hasta la Pza. Roma y luego 1 parada de Vaporetto te deja delante de la estacion(FERROVIA).La primera calle (muy pequeña) a la izda es la del hotel. Desde la parada de Ferrovia salen vaporettos a todas partes incluidos los que van a Murano. MUY muy recomendables este hotel!!!! si volvemos a Venezia no dudaremos de donde alojarnos!!! que disfruteis tanto como nosotros!!!

9.9

We had a delightful stay at "La Locanda di Orsaria". The hotel is conveniently located very close to both the train station and the airport bus terminal. A vaporeto stop is almost in front of it. The room was clean, spacious and quiet (we had been given an upgrade we had not even asked for). Everybody was very friendly. The breakfast was quite nice. For all of this, the price was very reasonable if one considers Venice hotel prices in general.

9.4

Met all our expectations.A little overpriced( as are most things in Venice)

9.4

EXCELLENT LOCATION FOR DINING AND SHOPPING.GREAT LOCATION ALMOST NEXT TO TRAIN STATION AND WATERBUS. VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL STAFF! VERY CLEAN AND GOOD SIZE ROOMS! NO ELEVATOR BUT NOT ALOT OF STAIRS TO GET TO THE THIRD FLOOR. WOULD STAY THERE AGAIN!!!

9.9

Excellent accommodation in good location. Would recommend to anyone but be aware there is no lift.

9.1

This was a very nice holiday. The hotel was good and the room too. I´t was very easy to get too the center(Marcus square etc)and it was also very easy to go by boat because the vaporetto stop was very nearby. Everybody in the staff was very serviceminded and friendly.

8.5

Nice place to stay Staff is friendly and speaks french & english (even words of japonese ..for girls) Good breakfest (coffee, tea, chocolate, cappuccino available, ham & salami, pine-apple and fruit salad ..croissants...even if the orange juice could be better - newspaper in engkish and italian Public space limited (breakfest) ..but we were more outside ..

9.4

It is always risky booking online BUT... La Locanda di Orsaria was great value,plentiful breakfast, clean,comfortable, spacious and value for money. Close to train station, bus depot, supermarket and fast food outlet( all important when you have teenager boys)as well as very helpful staff.All tourist sites easy walk but you do need a good map in Venice.

9.0

My gf n I stay only one nite.they upgraded us.the room is really sweet,neat n clean,look much more romantic compare to the photo in website. very very convient just next to train station.staff is run by family dad n daughter but they r really friendly n helpful.good breakfast 2!!We highly recommand this hotel

7.3

Best feature is the proximity to the train station. Deluxe rooms have amazing tapestry but the price is high. Good if you thing to stay a lot in the room and a few in Venice

8.7

Great breakfast! Helpful employees, very friendly. Close to train station . Great for a quick stay and convenient.

9.9

The hospitality was wonderful. The employees were very freindly and helpful. Wonderful relaxing breakfast!

8.8

The hotel was great and it was easy to get to the fun stuff. Hotel is easy to find although know that there are two train stations. The one on the mainland is called Venezia Meastre. From that station you take the 10 minute train ride to Venezia S. Lucia in the heart of Venice.

9.1

The gentleman that made breakfast and helped us with our luggage was very nice.

9.5

Lovely room, just as seen on the website. Great location for us, as we came from the Train and very easy to find. Very charming staff and the host at breakfast was delightful. Breakfast was wonderful, as was the coffee. We knew there was no lift and managed to carry the bags upstairs without too much difficulty. Very quiet, restaurants, shops and transport very close by. We will definitely return!

9.2

A lovely B & B near the train station (easy to find) and very close to the vaparetto stop. Located in a quiet area in Venice The rooms are charming and the breakfast was very nice. The staff is welcoming and helpful. It was wonderful to check in near the train and walk to St. Marks as soon as we arrived in Venice.

6.4

The hotel was adequate and reasonably priced for Venice. The location of the hotel was right around the corner from the train station down an alley. There was a vaperetto stop near, which was convenient because it is quite a walk to the San Marco area. The room was older. The common area, including breakfast room, was small. The worst thing about this hotel is the beds. They are very hard. The air conditioning did not work wonderfully but it was cool enough to open the windows. However, you cannot open the windows at night because it is too noisy. For the price we paid, it was ok. I would stay again if I were ever in Venice again; however, I would only visit for a day since there are SO many other more beautiful places to see in Italy.

9.9

Excellent hotel with great location. The superior-room we got, even though we had booked a regular room, was marvellous and very clean.

9.4

apart from the early morning very loud church bells, it was perfect. Actually, even the bells were ok - after all, who wants to sleep when in Venice? The location was brilliant and the staff so friendly, we would definitely use it again.

6.6

very well located hotel only 200m from the train station right in the heart of gondolas and canals. Staff were very welcoming and helpful and apart from external noise it was a nice stay.

9.5

This hotel was the highlight of several weeks of travel in Italy and Germany. The staff was the most welcoming and most friendly we encountered. Our room was a beautifuly suite on the 3rd floor and the bathroom was beautiful and immaculate. When we return to Venice, we will chose di Orsaria again.

8.8

Reynaldo, the proprietor, serves up cappucino, tea, and hot chocolate every morning to accompany cereals, yogurts, meat/cheese, and a variety of pastries. He and his staff also deliver good humor in English, as well as good advice about visiting Venice as they live just down the street. This old building has modern electrical services and bathrooms, although the bathroom was small. You may purchase access to WIFI for 15 Euros for 24 hours of access. We would return to this hotel which is the first street to the left as you leave the train station. You can walk any direction to find a restaurant next to a canal.

6.2

Rooms are small and there is no elevator. So, we had to haul all our luggage up and down the steps ! Good breakfast. Very close to the train station which makes it easy for travellers.

5.9

short walk from the train station. Location great the hotel was in walking distance to the ferrys to go to the islands. Shops walking distance. Breakfast was OK staff were friendly. Problem in Venice hotels do not have lifts so you do have to carry your bags up flights of stairs. Location was excellent from train to ferry and shops. I would stay here again. Hotel was quite until the bells go off.The bell is next door to the hotel (I liked the bells but the kids were annoyed)

9.8

Had a wonderful stay! The hosts were very welcoming and helpful. Our bedroom was immaculate! Breakfast was fantastic as well, such a good range to choose from. Close to transportation so that made it easier for further travel.

7.8

good location, the room overlooking a yard with trees was quiet and relaxing in the town,good treatment. important defect: the beds didnt let you rest enough because the matresses were or too used, or bad quality. thank you

9.9

First visit. Very nice; lovely employees who were anxious to serve! Space at a premium, but remember, it is Venice! Breakfast was generous. Near cruise docks. Walk to Piazza Roma and then shuttle bus to cruise terminal is not too difficult if your luggage is not heavy - several bridges to cross with stairs.

9.4

We had a wonderful the 5th anniversary there. Everything was as expected. A really nice room (we took a double superior), great service and a perfect location. A window view was the only one drawback, however it didn't impact our general excellent impression.

9.5

Recommended!!!

7.4

The location was convenient to train station, except the directions were confusing and we walked a long way out of our way. It's a small hotel, clean with the typical hard Italian beds.

9.7

This was my first rip to Venice. I selected the hotel based on location and was totally satisfied. The hotel is down a quiet narrow walkway, less than 2 minutes to a main vaporetta stop, giving access to all of Venice. The room, while small, was comfortable, clean and welcoming. The bathroom had a shower, sink, toilet and bidet and plenty of towels. The breakfast was substantial and included capuchini - delicious! The desk folk were helpful with directions and suggestions for events. I would definitely stay here again.

8.3

Using Venere was great. We used the comments to pick a hotel and we were not disappointed. This hotel is in a great location near the train station and within walking distance of everything you would need. The staff was always helpful. Thanks for the great service.

9.1

The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was a reasonable size and the bathroom was very modern. Breakfast was more than adequate. The hotel is very close to both the railway station and the waterbus terminal and only a short walk from the airport bus terminal, so is very conveniently located.

9.9

Ideal location when arriving on the train. Charming hotel with very friendly multilingual staff paying extra attention to children. Fabulous breakfast, nice rooms, brand new bathroom. Just perfect. I would come again and recommend it to anyone.

9.8

this place was great! the staff is super friendly, and really really helpful. the rooms are nice, the bathrooms are really clean and new, the breakfast is great, and the location is perfect. i'd stay at this place again in a second. don't hesitate to book here. i couldn't have been happier.

9.6

This hotel and all the staff were really excellent. The room I had wasn't very large but, I was alone and I didn't mean to do more than sleeping inthere. The location is easy to find and easy to manage with your lugage when you arrive by train/boat (no bridge) or by bus (2 bridges). Near the Pizzale Roma and 50m to the railway station. A very quiet place, affordable. Have a nice stay....!

8.5

2 days Great Location Close to shops

9.8

This was first time out of USA. Found this hotel to be just perfect. Staff Sara, Sebrina and Reusto, sorry if I spelled wrong were so helpful and made our stay pleasant. The room was a twin. Very nice. The breakfast more than enough. Thank you, you three.. I would return.

7.7

Without an elevator, the narrow stairs were a bit difficult to navigate with our heavy luggage, especially since we were on the top floor. That being said, the hotel was otherwise pretty much as we expected, and we were very satisfied.

8.1

Very friendly and helpful stuff. Great location to arrive and leave from Venice without having to carry luggages over waters & bridges, but it requires a 20min journey on an extremely packed Vaporeto each time one needs to go or return from Piazza S. Marco. Overall was good.

8.9

This tiny hotel was absolutely fantastic. They upgraded us to a superior room because we were on our honeymoon, and it was an incredible space. Huge room, massive bathroom, beautiful writing desk, safe in room, and a huge, very comfy bed. There was no elevator so it was a bit of a hike to the top floor with our luggage, but we managed. The breakfast room is tiny but cute and the pastries were very fresh. Coffee was excellent, and the staff were very pleasant. Hotel is nice and close to the train station - even closer than we thought - which is great. There's a vaporetto stop 2 minutes away so you're never that far from anything. We loved this hotel and would recommend it to anyone travelling to Venice.

9.3

What a GREAT find!! This conveninenty located family run hotel is immaculate with wonderfully decorated rooms. An excellent breakfast is offered and totally supervised by the owner himself, who took great pride in satisfying his guests as if you were in his own home. We were treated so well by the staff too. A 4 min. walk from the train station is another plus,as you are so close to all transportation, internet cafe and various stores for shopping or snacks. We have allready recommended this to friends travelling in the near future. You'll be quite pleased im sure choosing this hotel, it made our trip one to remember!!!

8.8

Very friendly staff, wonderful breakfast and excellent location -- close to the train station, but on a side street so it was quieter. Would definitely stay here again.

8.4

This is a very nice and warm hotel. The breakfast is fabulous! The staff is really friendly.

6.6

We were family with my 2.5 yrs old son and found it at suitable location. The lady (Ms. Tina) is very helpful and cooperative. Overall it was very pleasent stay.

9.8

Great Hotel, Great Staff and Good location. Definitely recommend to others. Hotel is down a quiet Alley,100m from Grand Canal. Yes, it has Air conditioning..

9.6

This hotel was close to the Train Station which is a bonus in Venice. The street was very quiet and the rooms have just been re-modelled. The bathroom was lovely with the biggest shower I have seen in Europe so far. The staff were fantastic, particulalry at breakfast. I would not hesitate to saty here again.

8.8

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the location on the Grand Canal was excellent. Also, the proximity to the train station was very helpful, as it was easily close enough to walk with luggage. The only problem we had was that our room was on the street side and VERY noisy at night with windows open. Much better with the windows closed, though. We would stay here again.

9.8

Excellent hotel, very friendly staff, very nice room and bathroom was delicate. Quiet, but still very central location just 2 min walk from train station. I will highly recommend this hotel to my friends.

8.8

Ottima posizione, vicinissima alla stazione, con molti ristoranti. Personale gentilissimo e molto disponibile. Ambienti puliti ed ospitali. Prezzo molto ragionevole. Penso che ci torneremo.

9.8

An small hotel with a very high standard. We booked a beautiful superior room. We were made very welcome. The situation is excellent, very quiet and so near the grand canal/bus station and train station.

9.0

We were upgraded to a superior double room for our stay in Venice, at no cost to us. The room was great, comfortable and clean. Spacious, given the limitations of Venice. Some minor drain noise in the walls and the heater was a little difficult to manage. Staff were a little hit and miss. The manager was excellent (although his meal recommendations were a little hit and miss), the night staff are pretty much only there to mind the door. Breakfast was excellent, with one of the best hot chocolates that I had throughout Italy. The food selection was pretty good as well. Internet access, which was listed on the site, is only available during normal hours, when the regular staff are on, not during the night shifts. It's also a very old machine, which was a bit limited (didn't recognise USB storage devices) Great location, very close to the train station, but not affected by any noise. Also near the main terminal for the vaporetti (water taxis)

8.7

I have no complaints about this hotel, except the fact that their are not lifts and the room we stayed in was a bit small, but all in all it was very comfortable

8.8

L'hotel è situato in una posizione strategica: vicino alla stazione dei treni e vicinissimo ai traghetti. Le camere sono state in gran parte rinnovate e le finiture sono molto...romantiche. lmeno per le camere più belle. La colazione è buona ed il personale gentile. Probabilmente quando tornerò a Venezia tornerò qui.

9.9

We booked a regular room, but got upgraided to the deluxe room. The room was great, the location was great. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. If we are in Venice again, this is the hotel we are going to stay in.

9.6

The website is very accurate for the rooms pictures -- they are bland. The hotel provides conveniences like a safe in the room, fluffy towels, very clean room, good air conditioning, that make it a good 3 star hotel. Venice is expensive, but the hotel offers very reasonable prices, and is lcose to the train station, so lugging heavy baggage is not an issue. But it's proximity to the station means a longer commute to St. Mark's Square if you want to walk. ALternatively, you can buy an unlimited boat ticket (24 hours).

9.8

Pequeño y maravilloso hotel, muy bien situado y con una atencion exquisita. Muy buena relacion calidad precio. Las habitaciones muy grandes y muy cuidadas. Muy recomendable. Esperamos volver a él.

9.9

très bon hotel , très bien situé à proximité de la piazza di roma et très calme.

9.8

A superbly located hotel...directly next to the train station....and excellent value for money. We were lucky to be upgraded to a superior room which was absolutely beautiful. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Venice.

7.3

Our triple room on the 2nd floor is pretty good. Spacious, bright and clean. However, my parents' standard double room on the ground floor isn't as great. Room is not spacious and the mattress doesn't fit the bedframe, there is a wide gap between the mattress and bedframe which you have to watch out when getting out of bed.

8.1

Everything oK! That`s what i want and expect.

8.3

Overall, great hotel. Easy to find from the train stations (just as located on the map on the hotel's own website). We'd stay there again.

9.9

This was the last stop of our Honeymoon. The room was big and Beautiful the Hotel was close to the Vaporetto and the train station. While the neighborhood is not written up as anything spectacular it really is no different then other areas of Venice. In our opinion the important thing in Venice is to be in a hotel near a vaporetto and to find a place that you can carry your luggage to without strain. Since we came in by train we were able to walk the 400 feet (5 minutes) to our hotel. We had no bridges to cross either. The people at the desk were always very helpful. They knew alot about venice and were able to point us into the direction of a less touristy area. They were able to provide us with information regarding events in venice. They also have internet acess in the Lobby. The room was on the second floor which appears nicer then the first. The hotel does not have an elevator. Our room had a marble bathroom that was spacious. The room itself have beautiful fabric covered walls and amazing venetian fixtures. We had a desk, Mini bar and safe. Breakfast included Breads, cornettes, cereal, fruit juice, coffee, yogurt, Cheeses and Pates. It was always consistantly good. Since we needed to leave early they did make us Coffee and gave us a cornette to take with us. It was very easy to get to Marco Polo airport from Venice as well. We took the vaporetto one stop then took a bus to the airport. I would stay here again in a heartbeat...

9.8

We will recommend this hotel. We will return to this hotel. This hotel is a find.

9.9

Delightful hotel, very close to the station- easy to get to the hotel-no struggle with bags up and down steps. The staff were fantastic. Hearing the church bells in the morning was a very pleasant way to wake up. Beds were comfortable and bathroom facilities we very good. They make a very nice capuccino also.

5.7

Pequeño hotel muy bien situado, limpio y comodo. Problema con la campana de una iglesia cercana que te despertaba a la 7h15 a.m

7.6

The rooms were wonderful, especially when we had to find the hotel down a rather narrow alley and were very skeptical. The rooms were spacious and clean and had a reasonable view out over other buildings. The breakfast was adequate in a cramped little area downstairs, but don't take the advice of the concierge for a nice restaurant to eat at - his suggestion proved very disappointing!

9.8

The hotel was well situated and quiet with comfortable rooms and very helpful staff. The breakfast was also good. A problem with the shower in the room was sorted out immediately. In all a much better experience than expected. We would stay there again.

8.2

The room was fine and the staff was very nice. The only negative comment was that they had little dining space and made us order breakfast the night before and eat in our room. The room was really too small for this and it made it hard to get extra jelly, coffee, etc. They indicated they were expanding their dining space, which will be much better.

9.6

Excellent location for those coming by train, so close we nearly missed it. Friendly owner who greets you every morning. Brilliant strong showers. Only problem was the church bells at 8am.

8.8

A very friendly and welcoming hotel. They gave us good advice on what to do and where to go in Venice. We had a superior room which was excellent, very clean,relaxing and quite spacious. The breakfasts were moderate, but as we were in Venice, we really didn't care. Overall the price is competitive and certainly good value for Venice. I would stay here again and more importantly, so would my girlfirend!

8.7

We had a very nice stay in this hotel. Reception very welcoming and helpful, deluxe rooms fantastic (new decoration), poor breakfast. Location is very convenient to explore Venice. Good price for this city, we would go back there.

8.3

Very friendly and welcoming staff, always available to help. Rooms are clean and spacious. Breakfast is a treat! Best of all is the location of this hotel - right beside the railway station and Ferrovia water terminal.

10

Great Hotel & staff. Close by to the station. Over all great.

10

Location near the train station and grand canal water taxi is very convenient. Only set of real plush towels that we had in Italy. Very friendly front staff.

8.6

The hotel is in a wonderful location with easy access to the vaporetto and the bus terminal. The people were very kind and helpful and friendly. The cold breakfast was perfect and the coffee excellent. It has no elevator which is only a problem on arrival and departure. Very quiet and very clean.

5.9

Me pareció un hotel demasiado pequeño para el precio. El servicio y la atención, sobre todo del personal de la noche, es muy pobre. El desayuno es suficiente y de buena calidad. Ojalá dentro de sus proyectos futuros sea poner un elevador para los huespedes de los pisos superiores.

8.7

We were very pleased with our choice, the room having a large modern shower, location a short walk from train station, and the friendliness of staff and owner.A nice start to our Italian 40th wedding anniversary vacation!

9.1

That was a good experience. Very welcoming staff. I will return at the same place.

9.6

just 2 minutes walk from the station, very nice, very clean hotel in a quiet location, we got upgraded to a superior double room which was extremely quiet and wonderfully bright. B/fast is continental with wonderful pastry. The location is excellent, as right next to the station and immediate access to the vaporettos. It surpassed our expectations and we will definitely stay there again if we return to venice.

9.9

Service and cleanliness are more than excellent. One problem for elder generation is that there not having a lift to go up onto the 2nd floor. But still we are satisfied.

7.9

Location is excellent--only a 5-min walk from the Ferrovia (train AND vaporetto stop). The hotel is in a dark, narrow alley, although it did not seem too dangerous even at night, and obviously not during the day. Staff is friendly; breakfast acceptable. Room is small but typical of European rooms; bathroom is clean and relatively spacious--although I think the shower head could've been installed at the length end of the cubicle rather than the width end, so that my back & elbows don't bump onto the screen door that easily! Price--it was the cheapest I could find at the moment, given the convenient location we desired (and IT'S Venice we're talking about). But it's still hard not to make the unfair comparison to the 3-star I stayed in Florence (which I highly recommend), because it was so much nicer, newer, better--and ALL this for less! In general, this hotel is not a bad choice at all. But i felt lucky that we stayed on the G/F and had no big luggage. The passage and, as I glanced, the stiars were pretty narrow (I suppose they also have rooms on 2nd floor since the light-filled room I saw on the website wasn't the "gloomy" one I got!), so moving up narrow stairs w/[big] luggage--you go figure. Btw this is a late review; i travelled during Dec 29-31, 04.

9.5

Very nice staff, very helpful in anyway they were asked. Close to the train and water bubbes. Would stay again.

8.9

excellent service and hotel .lovely would stay again

8.6

Confortevole,ben collocata,e personale gentile e disponibile.Consigliata

8.2

Very good location, friendly staff, great shower, clean facilities, average breakfast. The only downside for us was being put on the ground floor and being promised quiet but instead being woken up every morning as the breakfast was served from 7:30 - almost right outside our door. If you go I would rather stay upstairs!
