9.0

The staff was friendly. Hotel is a way away from the train station buy easy to get to by Vapetto. The rooftop area is amazing. Overall a great stay for the price in Venice.

10

the best thing in this hotel is that the location of it which is in the middle of the city and quitness of the room is the best thing also. i really recommend that hotel for any 1.

9.0

The room was excellent. It was clean and tidy, and both adults and children loved it. The breakfast wasn't the best, the bread seemed to made some days ago. But otherwise it was OK.

9.0

We were very pleased with the Ca' San Polo. We thought the hotel provided very good value for the money, considering the prices in Venice. It was very well located in Venice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was quite good and plentiful. The hotel had a nice, friendly, informal atmosphere.

9.6

As a family with 2 young children (9, 11 years old) the room was very cramped. We had a queens size bed and a queen size sofa in one room with a small onsuite. Despite this we had a great time and the service was excellent. THe owner was very accommodating and offered many helpful suggestions of what to see and where to go.

5.9

This was a noisy hotel - but then so is everywhere. The breakfast was good and it was a good part of town. There was a bag lift to cope with all those stairs. The bathroom in the room was quite badly laid out eg; the door did not open the full way.

7.7

This was our first visit to Venice, so we had a hard time finding Ca' San Polo on the Venice "streets". Once we arrived, Damiono welcomed us and was extremely gracious and helpful with directions, luggage and transportation. The location is great near the Grand Canal and relatively close to all the sites. Our quad room was clean and the entire property was the nicest of our stay in Italy. The only slight downside was the AC in our room on the top floor could not overcome the outside late June heat and it was a little warm over night. Overall, we would recommend Ca' San Polo.

9.3

We travelled with our 12 year old grandson so saw a lot through his eyes. Once we found the hotel, we were all delighted (other than the two or three floors we had to carry up the luggage). The hotal staff was quite good and helpful with customs, etc. Breakfast was more than enough--loved the fruit.

8.2

Interesting city. I don't think I would spend more than one night in the city. Be ready for all the tourists! The staff at the hotel was fine. I would not describe them as overly friendly, but not any different than anyone else in the city.

4.0

Bearing in mind the price I felt the hotel should have had a lounge at the very least. As the room was modest in size it felt overall rather restrictive. The breakfast was exactly the same each day. For the money I felt this was paltry. We were really dissatisfied with our stay. But by the time we got there we really could do nothing about the drawbacks.

8.7

We were very pleased to stay at Ca San Polo. Our room was exceptionally (in Venice standards!) spacious and bathroom was very clean and new. Staff was very friendly and kind, it was a pleasure to chat with them. Breakfast was very good too. The location may not look very central but it is very close to the vaporetto stop and also is away from the tackiness of San Marco square. Walking back to the hotel gave us the chance of peeking through more residential parts of Venice, which was a wonderful experience with lovely small canals, beautiful houses (where people actually live!). I strongly recommend Ca Macana for mask shopping, very close to the hotel, too!

8.1

Our stay at Hotel Ca' San Polo was fantastic. The family room was great, breakfast was lovely and the staff always friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel to future travellers. The only problem we had was finding our way to the hotel. We named Venice "The Giant Maze". Unfortunately I cannot suggest any improvement to help others.

8.2

Second stay at this charming hotel. Staff very Friendly, helpful and welcoming. Stairs could be a challenge for older people. Some beds are a little hard.Rooms are small but attractive, bathrooms modern and clean. Buffet Breakfast more than adequate. Hotel is short walking distance from Canal boat. New signs are helpful in locating hotel. Great,interesting, location.

8.4

To live in Cà San Polo is exactly as to live in a Venetian house, therefore you have not a great reception in front of a street, but a simple little door in a calle, then a staircase and at the first floor the receptionist, friendly and helpful with a lot of information, if you need it. A Venetian room with a wooden-beam ceiling, large for Venetian standards. Great! A comfortable bath-room and a very good ratio quality/price for Venice. Only breakfast could have been better. An hotel located just in the centre of the basic directions in venice: railway station-San Tomà-Accademia; Rialto-San Tomà-Accademia-San Marco. Close to Canal Grande, the church of Frari, Campo Santa Margherita and the church of Carmini. An hotel suited to the lover of Venice!

8.1

Our family of 5 had plenty of space and the beds/pillows were very comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was wonderful. The staff was very helpful and pleasant and they went out of their way to make sure we had breakfast early on our check-out day. We would stay there again.

7.6

To us the Hotel was perfect because of the location; Our room was The Doble superior wich it has enough space and the design was very nice. The only thing I couln't believe it is that if someone smokes at whathever room, there is an alarm that makes stop the whole system in the Hotel, then you have to wait for 20 minutes until the systems get going again...so to have hot watter!!...the room costs 140.00 euros ...That is the only thing that I can not understand.But If I travel to venice again I would repeat for sure, I recomend it.

8.4

Beautiful room, decoration and cleanliness first class. This was a quadruple room and so space was a little limited nonetheless fine for our stay. Staff were very helpful as we were delayed by fog for 3 days but were able to book back into our room for the second part of our stay.

7.9

I had only two problems with the hotel. First, I needed internet access and they have only wireless, which did not reach my room, and did not work with my computer when it was within coverage in the breakfast room. They also did not have cable/ethernet direct access. All this was quite a pain due to my working the week I was there. Note I have a Macintosh which also is sometimes problematic in Europe. Second, like absolutely anyplace in Venice, there is a lot of street noise, mainly people walking (boot heels make a LOT of noise on the ubiquitous stone pavement). The only way to avoid this is to find a room not facing onto a walkway, which is not all that easy. I need to add, however, that we tend to sleep with the window open a bit for fresh air, which amplifies the problem. If you keep the windows closed you'll have no problems. But you very likely will have neither problem which were peculiar to ourselves. The hotel is quite warm and accommodating, very central to a wonderful part of Venice, off the major tourist areas. I would go back on my next stay.

8.9

The hotel is 10 minutes walk to the Rialto Bridge. You have to take the vaporetto! 13 Euros a day, you can take as often you want the vaporettos. And you have a beautiful sight from Venice - which you won't have just by walking.

7.1

The hotel was fine and the location was good. It was fairly easy to find and it was in a quiet area of venice.Price wise I feel it was slightly expensive for out of season and a very small family room but it was great to have a booking as we arrived in the rain at night.There was not much choice of places to eat with children and close to the hotel in the evening.

9.5

Small,intimate hotel. Elegant rooms. Good value for money. Exceptionally helpful staff. Stairs could be a challenge for an older person. New looking(yellow) signs on buildings provided key direction from the Vaporetto. Comfortable walk (for Venice) from the Canal.

7.9

Very helpful staff

9.9

We did not get the triple room we reserved, however, they put us in an 'apartamento' in another area, not far from the hotel. The apartment was GREAT, with a complete kitchen, dining room, laundry machine, large bedroom and second sofa pullout on a wonderful street. Request the apartment if possible. Simple but cute, wonderful location.

10

This hotel was great. We were a family of 5 and found the room to be perfect. Bathrm. recently renovated. Breakf. selection the best we had on our entire trip. Owner/Fabio was outstanding and helpful. Location is super to shops/restaurants/main canals etc. We would definitely return.

9.9

Very polite and helpful owners. I would recommend to others.

7.2

Our room was charming. It felt like we were in a theatrical production....kind of surreal. Looking out the window in the morning...hearing the sounds of the surrounding restaurants and businesses added a special charm and sweetness. Walking distance to good restaurants and the sites of Venice. We enjoyed it. Our quad room was small but clean and just fine for one night.

9.6

We enjoyed the employees most of all. They were just wonderful! Paolo, especially, hospitable and just a nice person. The person that was there on our arrival was also very welcoming and very gracious.(Can't remember his name) We were only at this location for one night while in route to another. The place was immaculate and bathroom too!(marble/tile fixtures) We didn't care that the place was small because we typically are out in the city while vacationing. They recommended a wonderful restaurant literally at the bottom of the stairs and three doors away(Trattoria da IGNAZIO-beautiful outdoor courtyard-food was wonderful!) Would definately come back to Ca'San Polo. Small,quaint,quiet.

9.6

Unser Venedigbesuch dauerte von Montag bis Freitag. Das Hotel liegt etwa 10 bis 15 Gehminuten vom Busterminal (Piazzale Roma) entfernt und ist gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Das Hotel ist ein idealer Ausgangspunkt um die Stadt zu erkunden. An der Rezeption wurde auch deutsch gesprochen, so dass wir gute Empfehlungen vom sehr freundlichen Hotel-Manager bekamen. Die Zimmer sind wie fast überall in Venedig nicht sehr geräumig. Da wir uns aber selten dort aufgehalten haben, war dies ohne Belang. Das Hotel würde für einen weiteren Besuch unsere erste Wahl darstellen.

The staff is incredibly helpful. They even walked us to the boat when we told them we had gotten lost the previous day. Outstanding, outstanding, outstanding. Very decent size room for a family of 4.

8.8

very qualified and sympatic employees room for the breakfast a little bit too little. Nice and spacious rooms. Very clean

7.8

This hotel was well located near the tourist attractions. The rooms were very clean and the bathroom was fully equipped with good quality towels, soaps, etc. The management and breakfast staff were courteous and helpful. The breakfast was continental and served in a lovely room. There was a small rooftop sitting area. There was not much of a view on the 2nd floor but that is expected when you see how close the buildings are to each other. The 3rd floor offered more view. The air conditioning was silent and at the perfect temperature. It was summer and very hot and humid outside, so it was nice to come back to a cool and comfortable room.

8.2

Great hotel and very helpful staff. Owner recommended a great restaurant nearby and was able to confirm bookings for us. A bit difficult to find on the map but otherwise great.

9.1

Wonderful hotel in a very nice area! We loved it!

8.2

The Hotel is located at the hearth of Venice, and is not too far from the nearby Vaporeto (water bus) station. Ftom the train station is about 20 mins in Vaporeto. Is compact, but nice and the rooms are clean and well furnished, if somewhat small. I stayed in a family suite with 3 beds (two doubles one single). The bathroom is nic e and the airconditioning work very well. The breakfast is provided in a spacious room and is reasonably good. The only complain is that the sound proofing of the rooms is poor, and thus noise from other rooms can be heard (or you can be asked to be quiet like in my case as the guest in the nearby room compained about our usual chatter before going to bed - nothing extraordinary but we are five). It is easy to go from the Hotel to many attractions in Venice by water bus or walking. There is no Internet access. The staff was courteous.

7.5

My wife and I had difficulty finding the hotel, but that's probably common for first-time visitors to Venice. We thought the hotel was well maintained, the staff were most helpful, and the location was good. There is a luggage elevator, but guests must be prepared to climb fairly narrow stairs to access the main desk and their rooms. Like most North Americans would, we found our room very small. We travelled with two medium sized suitcases and two smaller, and were hardpressed to navigate the room with our luggage taking up most of the floor space. The decor was pleasant and the electronic security system, including safe, was very good. The bed was good; the bathroom modern, clean and well supplied.

9.2

Liked clean newly renovated bathroom and amenities. Excellent air conditioning. Service was very good. A little hard to find on the first try but, once familiar with the general area, it was easy to find. Nice quiet neighborhood but also close to some major tourist attractions. Guests have to be able to climb stairs.

6.7

The cost for superior room was £200 yet to me it did not appear to be superior.In the hotel specification it appeared there would be an elevator for the guests to use but it was not the case.It was difficult to take a suitcase up 4 flights of staircase. Please could you specify that the elevator is not for the customer.My husband found it difficult as he is over 65 and suffers from high blood pressure.

7.0

No Lift for residents. Only one luggage lift on the first foor and you have to carry your bags up stairs to reach the lift.

8.7

Having arrived by sleeper at 9.30am, we were too early to use our room, but the staff warmly welcomed us, took our luggage and suggested places to visit until our room was ready. They also stored our luggage on our last day. I found the hotel easily, despite the confusing map, due to the discreet direction signs on the route from San Tomas vaparetto. The elevator was a boon, as my wife has mobilty problems. The room was ideal for us, very comfortable bed, spotless bathroom with a powerful shower. the personal safe is very useful to keep spare cash and passports. Breakfast was very good with a wide choice. The breakfast room is small, so if you have a pressing appointment, it pays to be early or you may have to wait 10 minutes. This was our first visit to Venice and I don't think we could have picked a more welcoming place to stay. I will certainly use the hotel again.

8.6

Hotel Ca'San Polo is definitely a worth staying hotel. Although the reception desk area is small but the 2 Superior Quadruple room that we stayed in were satisfying. The rooms are very clean and cosy. Besides that, the location of the hotel is good. It is close to many restaurants and shops. My friends and I are very happy and satisfied with our stay in Hotel Ca'San Polo.

8.4

no lobby stairway to reception desk small but new bathroom ok size room well decorated good location a little hard to fid i would go back no for anyone who can noy glimb stairs

5.9

Nice rooms and good service. Recently renovated with nice bathroom. Nice surroundings in the San Palo area. A good walk to the Rialto bridge or Accademia bridge to get to the sights on the north side of the Grand Canal. Be sure to have a map and the location of the hotel on the map before you head out. We received bad directions at the airport (they must have been thinking of a different hotel) and had a difficult time finding the hotel. Great assistance from local restaurants to find it eventually. Luckily our bags were still in Zurich so we were not lugging them with us.

9.4

The hotel doesn't look like much from the outside but is very charming on the inside. Our room was spacious and nicely furnished. The spotless, modern bath was welcome. Breakfast room was lovely and served varied bkfst items to please young and old. Front desk staff were most helpful and pleasant. Good location for discovering Venice. 15 minute walk (approx.) to train station - with kids and bags! No lift and tight quarters going up and down the stairs to rooms though.

7.3

As we have prepared a proper map, found the place of the hotel easily even my first trip to Venice. It was only 10-15 min walk from Rome square(bus terminal). Were offered a free trip to Murano by water-taxi, for which we did not feel exterme obligations to buy something there. It was good decision. The quadro room are not big, but would be acceptable. Air-condition equipped would be great if we were staying during summer. Breakfast provided with basic stuff only, e.g. bread, ham, cheese, yougult, juice and coffee at limited space, but also acceptable. Not so far away to Rialto. Recommendable for tourists, but maybe depending upon a price.

9.7

I've been to Venice many times, both as a bachelor and now with a family with young children and I have to say that Ca' San Polo is our favorite. The pictures accurately show the size of the rooms. During this particular trip, we traveled with my brother and his wife. I booked the superior room for them and it was larger than any room I've see in a 4 star hotel in Venice. For my family of 4 we took a suite (one room) which had a sofa bed which was more than enough. The actual (parents) bed was a king-size bed, so when the 5 and 8 year old climbed into it, we hardly noticed. But the size of the rooms are only a small part of the Venice experience. Truly, no one spends a single moment dawdling in their room when the wonders of Venice abound. The manager, Fabio, was particularly helpful giving us better recommendations for restaurants than any of the guide books. One night, the staff not only booked our water taxi, but walked us over to the launching point so to save us as much time as possible. Of course if there are chocolate croissants on the breakfast table and jump-ready beds, our kids are happy. And you have to love the Italians who generally appreciate children, particularly at this hotel. We booked two babysitters though the hotel. We felt so comfortable with them that we gave her some money to take the children out for gelato. The location in San Polo is much much better than being in the heart of San Marco, so for first timers, I recommend starting right and avoiding the crowds around where you stay. There is still fantastic (and less expensive) shopping, great pizza and gelaterias around the corner, and the best wine store I've seen in Venice within 10 minutes walk. And besides, it's much more quiet, so if you like to sleep past the break of dawn, you won't be awoken if the windows are open. Regarding this hotel, the last anecdote I have to leave is the one about our departure. My family and I were on our way to Tuscany and lo and behold,

7.1

Really not a bad hotel for the price! The only downfall was that we had reserved a smoking room on-line, but once there, we were told that the entire hotel was non-smoking. As most smokers know, it would have been nice to know that before hand. Also, we woke up every morning at the foot of the bed due to the fact that the floor was uneven. Breakfast was also included in the price and was actually quite delightful. For those who stay at this hotel, try out the restaurant in front of the hotel and let the waiter know that you were referred to them by the hotel, you'll get excellent service and great food for a reasonable price.

9.0

We had reserved a quad and arrived early in the day. There were some off-property rentals available at the same price which worked out great for us - an appartment at the price of a hotel room, 10 minutes from the hotel! Staff was very friendly, breakfasts were very good and the value for money was great. I would not hesitate to return and have suggested the Ca'San Polo to friends for their trip to Venise. A word of caution, do not follow the map on the site - go to Campo San Polo and head west, look for the little yellow signs...

6.0

Breakfast was so poor...

9.5

For some reason we had no hot water left in the morning but the hotel did not give us a discount
