Hotel Anastasia - Venice

7.2

Best quality/price in the vicinity of S. Marco Square

8.9

Davvero buono. Camere, servizio, ubicazione (100 mt da San Marco, senza confusione), colazione. Consigliabile.

7.9

We had a lot of trouble finding the hotel. Maps on the website showed the location correctly, but did not give enough detail to be useful (need more street names and landmarks). Inacessable by water taxi or water bus. You will have to walk about 3 blocks with your luggage.

7.2

for the first time in my life i was forbidden by the receptionist to have my friend over to my room, not even for 5 minutes. when i explained i wanted to give her something in the privacy of my room he still denied it firmly. when i asked why wasn't it possible at 19:00 the only respond i got from him repeatedly was that "it is not possible!". i asked to speak to the manager regarding the incident, it is needles to say that didn't happen till my departure. breakfast was served in the entrance of the hotel, not even secluded from the reception, and the variety was poor. as breakfast was served until 10:00, at 9:59 the staff began clearing the poor buffet, evevnthough hotel guests were still sitting for breakfast. due to the impolite behavior of the receptionist and his rudeness, i do not recommend staying in the hotel.

Hotel placé idéalement à 2 min à pied du coeur de venise ; calme absolu et chambres très bien insonorisées ; petit déj très bien ; accueil et service standard mais pas plus

8.8

I had a highly enjoyable stay at the Hotel Anastasia. The staff were welcoming, the location could not have been better and I was very pleased with my room. My only criticisms are that the breakfast, while there was plenty of it, was not that fantastic and that my bed was hard. Nevertheless, the staff were extremely helpful, my room was well appointed and I definitely feel that I got value for money. The location really is unbeatable and contrary to what others have said on this site, I found it extremely easy to find the hotel (following the instructions found on their website). I will most certainly be coming back.

7.2

This hotel was in a good location. The breakfast compared poorly to other hotels we stayed at in Italy. It was a little hard to find since it is kind of hidden behind another building

9.9

Exellent little hotel. Just next to San Marco but still quiet and pitoresque. You just fell in love with teh surrounding. Ask for a room that lies toward the small plaza (the front of the Hotel).

8.2

Although this was my first stay at Hotel Anastasia I throughly enjoyed it. All the staff were helpful and spoke very good english. Look further down the reviews for good instructions on how to get there! It is literally a 2 minute walk from St Marks and ideally located for almost everything in Venice! Would definately stay here again. Thank you!

7.3

I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL, IT WAS CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE... ROOMS ARE A BIT SMALL BUT THIS IS NOT UNUSUAL IN EUROPE.THE LOCATION IS GREAT, MINUTES FROM EVERYTHING. WHEN ARRIVING DO NOT TRY TO FIND IT WITHOUT ASKING...IT IS OFF THE MAIN STREETS. WOULD GO BACK... GOOD VALUE COMPARED TO, ALOT OF PLACES I LOOKED AT.

8.5

It was a bit hard to find from the map but once we did everything was ok. We had a spacious room on the 2nd floor and could see a canal from our window. Breakfast was very good with cereal, crossaints, bread, jams and very good coffee/tea. It is a 5 minute walk to restaraunts/St Marks Square and public transport (water bus).

8.8

Good value. A quiet hotel in a very good location just 200 metres from St Mark's Square.

9.5

The rooms are small but nicely furnished. The bathroom is very attractive. The breakfast could do with some attention. We do not eat cooked food and the selection of cereals was poor. There was no fresh fruit and the milk available was only Long Life (it ruins both tea and coffee). There was no internet facility.

8.5

We have lived in a Double Room. This modern room was very clean, beds are perfect. Perfect and well designed bath room. The italian breakfast was still ok. Our room has had an air-condition. Staff are very friendly. Rooms are very quiet. The hotel is perfect located - 3 minutes to walk to St. Mark's Square or next vaporetto (boat) station. We would be come back again ...

9.6

excellent little hotel. The breakfast room is small, and there isn't really a lobby area to sit in, but I wouldn't even talk about it except for the questionnaire... Wonderful location, great staff, pretty, clean room (mine was next to the elevator, so the noise-level depended on the type of guests coming or going)... definitely worth repeating.

9.9

Usually I hesitate to write a review, but not in this case. The Anastasia far surpassed my expectations, and was the nicest hotel experience I have had on my 4 trips to Venice over the last two years. The staff is terrific, and their English is much better than my Italian, which helped quite a bit. I stayed in room 105, which was neat as a pin and had a huge bathroom by Italian standards. The gals that take care of you for breakfast are very nice and make sure you are well cared for. I truly hope that room 105 is available each time I return to La Serenissima in the future. Thanks, Anastasia, you were terrific! Please tell the girls they make a killer cappuccino!

Great hotel !

8.9

Great location Very good breakfast very good service I would stay again.

Price/quality service & location OK!!!!!!!

8.1

The annual Carnival was on at the time of our stay which inflated the room rates. Room was nice and clean but overpriced.

9.9

I would highly recommend this hotel.

9.9

Great hotel - would go back there. Location very good for walking everywhere.

8.5

My wife and I throughly enjoyed our stay at the Anastasia. It is quite centrally located, yet secluded, a short walk to San Marco, or the Acadamia in the other direction. The rooms are small but well appointed and the staff is ever helpful. The breakfast is OK, nothing fancy. It should be noted that while the hotel advertises internet access, it is dail-up at 20cents per minute EU and you need to get a phone cord if you did not bring one.

5.3

Mein Aufenthalt im Hotel Anastasia war nicht so erfreulich, wie ich es mir versprochen hatte, denn in der zweiten Nacht lärmten andere Hotelgäste stundenlang bis 4 Uhr morgens, ohne, dass man etwas dagegen getan hätte. Die Angestellten waren durchweg sehr missgestimmt, was meinen Gesamteindruck auch eher beeinträchtigte. Die Zimmer sind mit allem austestattet, was erforderlich ist, und sehr gemütlich, wenn auch klein. Das Bad dagegen war sehr groß, schön und sehr gepflegt. Die Umgebung ist sehr nett, wenn man Wert darauf legt, nahe bei den touristischen Stätten zu sein (was eigentlich nicht mein Fall ist). Aber kurze Wege zu den Vaporettos und zu allem Sehenswerten sind nicht zu verachten. Das Frühstück war typisch für Venedig, allerdings war der Kaffee nicht schmackhaft. Auch wenn die Preise im Anastasia eher günstig sind, werde ich nicht dorthin zurückkehren.

6.9

Everything was fine except the very small size of the single room with its absence of any kind of view and the lack of fresh bread and real coffee for breakfast. It would be great if Venere.com could ask hotels if the rooms have any kind of view included in the price...

5.1

The hotel is located close to St Marco square, the only plus point. Price too high for an old hotel room, 50% higher than what I paid in other parts of Italy. But then, this IS Venice. Everything is expensive. No shower cubicle. The shower head over the long bath is only hand held and imagine showering with only one hand free. Breakfast is of poor choice and served in a very small area. No internet connections, not as advertised. But the staff are helpful and not rude. If I ever return to Venice, I will look elsewher for better value.

7.7

Glad we had researched directions from other guests! but location was brilliant, 5 mins with case from water bus stop, hotel located in quiet square but 3 mins from St Marks Square. Hotel was clean, staff very helpful, breakfast basic - cereal, bread/croisant/jam but adequate. Rooms on small side, shower etc cleaned daily. Not a luxury hotel, but for a medium priced hotel very close to St Mark's Square this hotel is good value for money

8.4

The concierge recommended a lovely restaurant called Alla Madonna near the Rialto bridge that was wonderful. We also enjoyed the breakfasts at the hotel. Even though it was around the corner from a busy Gondolla area it was pretty quiet.Our room was on the top floor and had windows on 2 sides which made it airy and light.

6.9

In Venice, hotel rates are in general overprised. Compared to other accommodations, prices at Anastasia are rather fair.

9.1

This hotel is a good value in Venice. The rooms are comparable to what you'd get on a cruise ship, but they're functional and have all the amenities one would need for a stay in Venice. The location is hard to beat. It's easy to find, very close to all the major attractions, but most importantly it's tucked away in a small square so that when you're in the hotel you don't feel to be in tourist central.

5.7

Nice and very central hotel. Our room was SMALL!! with 2 suitcases opend on the floor, we could not move...Staff was nice, clean place. To summarize, nice hotel, but very small and little noisy rooms.

9.7

We would definitely stay at this hotel again. The room was very good and the staff very helpful and competent. A great Venice location!

7.4

We were very happy with Hotel Anastasia. The location was absolutely outstanding - we shared a courtyard with a 5 Star Westin and were in the same location as another reknown 5 star hotel. The staff was excellent and really made our stay very pleasant. They were very professional, friendly and helpful. Daily breakfast was great - lots to choose from. It was a nice touch that the staff helped my husband put together a tray for me one morning when I was unable to go downstairs in time. Be warned, that the hotel is not easy to find. A more detailed location map would have been helpful or more specifics on how to locate the courtyard Anastasia is located in(ie cross the bridge beside Hotel Bauer at the Church of S.Moise and on the other side turn left immediately and you'll see a sign at the end of the walkway for the hote). Very important since Venice is very tricky to get around, especially with your luggage. Our biggest surprise/disappointment was that the room was much smaller than we expected. If you are not comfortable with a room that is only a few feet wider than the bed itself and a bathroom that only has approx 1 foot between the wall and fixtures (sink, toilet) this is not the place for you. If, however, you are willing to trade off room size for location then you'll be quite happy.

9.9

Excellent choice for our stay in Venice. Very comfortable hotel, great location, clean and quiet. Newly remodeled. Great breakfast too. Only problem was a lack of shower curtain or glass to prevent the whole bathroom from getting wet. The staff was very helpful and recommended great restaurants. We are a middle aged married couple and were travelling with parents. They also found the hotel very comfortable (except for the shower curtain problem). We would definitely go back there again.

9.2

2nd time at the Anistasia and would/will stay there again. That say's it all!!

Cet hotel est très bien situé.Les chambres sont très agréables .En famille,notre court séjour dans cet hotel fut vraiment agréable et nous y retournerons avec beaucoup de plaisir.

8.5

Quality vs. price and location vs.price fantastic for venice.

9.0

Very lovely and cosy hotel! But the main advantage is the location! 3 min walk from San Marco. Next time when I will go to Venezia I will definitely stay in Anastasia again!

6.1

The hotel is fully renovated. The Bathroom is wonderful but the size of the single room is minimum. It is very nicelly located but the service is just avarege or less also because it doesn't have internet access.

Six family members spent two nights at the Anastasia. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The location is superb. Accomodations and breakfast were okay, not great, but adequate. We would definitely recommend this hotel and had a great time in Venice.

9.0

Pros: excellent staff, even very helpfull when i was sick one night, great location, courtesy, good breakfast, clean and large bathroom. Cons: to be honest, rooms are little too noisy and room is a little too small respect to bathroom (very large). Breakfast could be little improved with more things to eat, but is very good indeed. Main problem (and only that upset me a little) was the noise. Overall i could say it's a 8,5/10.

9.8

cute hotel, great service, very centrally located, was actually more spacious than hotels we stayed in Rome and Florence

6.8

Adequate budget accommodations. Very central location in a quiet courtyard near to St. Mark's. Bed linens threadbare and hand towels are not proper towels. Staff unable to assist with restaurant reservations. Luggage could not be left with desk as the hotel would be "closed" for the day.

9.7

I stayed in Anastasia with my parents and sister for one night in late December. We had very clean and comfortable rooms, overlooking the small piazza in front of the hotel. The location is supurb, very close to St. Marco Square and the vapolet stop, but a little bit difficult to find. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. It was just the kind of hotel I was looking for! Well worth the price I paid for. I will definitely stay again.

9.2

the hotel was a great place to base yourself in venice. The staff were friendly and accomodating all of the time. We would go back there if in venice. Would never have found it if we had not taken the directions from other reviews on web.

9.4

We enjoyed staying at this hotel. It is very centrally located and close to everything. We stayed two nights at the beginning of our trip at another hotel and one night at the end at Hotel Anastastia and wished we had stayed at Anastasia all along. The bed was soft and comfortable and the room was modern and better than at our other hotel. We didn't have a chance to stay and enjoy breakfast, so I can't comment on that. This hotel is a great value and if you have alot of luggage to carry like we did then this hotel is like a 5 minute walk to the vaparettos.

8.9

This hotel is in an excellent location with only a few blocks from St. Mark's Square and the Basilica. The staff was very efficient and cordial. The rooms are small, but very clean and comfortable, except the last day the hot water was not working, but they had someone in there taking care of it when we left, so I felt it was only a temporary problem. We would definitely stay there again as it is a very good value.

9.3

7.1

Very difficult to find - it was our first visit to Venice andthe system of numbering buildings is very confusing. Get a street name and directions from the hotel. We had to phone twice for directions before we finally found a local who knew the place. Location is excellent for the tourist, only a few minutes from St Mark's, the vaporetti, and easy walking to Rialto etc. Breakfast good for Italy
