We really liked this hotel. It was clean and most of the staff were really friendly and highly competent. It is in a really good part of the city - quiet and near some of the good i.e. less touristy, shops and restaurants. Our one gripe would be that the one of the reception staff (female) was quite rude and made her disapproval of us clear - but in the grand scheme of things this is a minor point and overall it was a good place to stay.

Yes, you have to climb steps to get to the lobby, but we loved the quiet location right on a canal. The staff were very helpful, and recommended a couple of very good restaurants. The location was central, we walked everywhere. Wonderful!

Be prepared to get lost on finding this hotel, unless you have a good map! We misplaced our map and the one from the internet was very insufficient...needless to say we were wandering tourists...but when we finally found it we were pleased. The staff was helpful and friendly, the rooms clean, the location central to walk in all directions and it was in a quiet area. Next time we would bring our GPS along. We recommend this hotel for a nice and quiet get-a-way.

Great hotel with very friendly reception, who were helpful with advice about where to eat. we stayed in a junior suite which suited us and our two children very well. The only slight downside was the rather boring breakfast but don't let this put you off, all in all a great hotel that I would highly recommend and use again

Like most of the reviews we could not fault the hotel in any way. Not luxurious in terms of appointment but over the top in terms of service and quality. Our hosts Emanuel and Leonardo were delightful and nothing was too much trouble for them. A special mention must go to Eugenia, very helpful and always with a very pleasant smile. Truly remarkable people. Highly recommend.

We spent 3 nights at Locanda Sant'Agostin and have never felt more welcomed from a hotel. We felt like we were part of a family, the staff could not have been more pleasant. Our room was quaint but truely comfortable. We will stay here again and again when we return to Venice.

Fist time in Venice, first rate accomadation, we were met at reception by Dario who was a star in advising us esp with regard to the waterbuses and the economy of buying a tourist ticket instead of the usual one way tickets which are 6E (12hr ticket unlimited travel 13E ) If we visit Venice again we would definately stay here again

This is a small hotel on a quiet street. It's only a ten-minute walk to Rialto and San Marco (a route filled with many shops to keep you occupied). The front desk staff was very warm and helpful. They made excellent restaurant suggestions. Overall the value here was less for the money paid than we experienced in Rome and Siena on the same trip. We conclude that Venice is just more expensive. If we came back to Venice (which we probably will not - it's enough to see it once and sooo very touristy)we would stay here again. And, can we enlist you all not to be taken in by the gondola rides? We would love to put them out of business: $100 Euro for a 15-minute ride. Biggest ripoff we've ever experienced! Don't do it! Something happens to that "romantic" feeling when you realize you've been had big time.

What a gem of a place. Right in the centre of Venice but back from the hustle and bustle and noise. The hotel was a small family type run affair with extremely personable and helpful staff who spoke very good English. Close to all activities and sites. Very secure, good basic breakfast. The joy of Venice is walking the alley ways - use a map to get there and then throw it away and go by instinct; it will prove quicker and more fun. Catch the bus in to Venice from the airport then the ferry and walk the last ten minutes. You should visit the islands if possible. Catch the train to Bassano del Grappa for the day for a great excursion. Ask for a room with a view to the small canal. Will stay here again.

Overall this hotel was wonderful. Great view, helpful service, quiet environment, spacious rooms, good location, and good breakfast (service to the room was a great perk). It was a bit pricey, however, most Venice hotels seemed pricey. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to enjoy a great time in Venice with a nice place to lay there head.

A delightful small and homely hotel. Only 7 rooms. The service was superb. The staff could not have been more helpful in directions, recommending restaurants, trips etc. The san Polo area is quiet off the beaten track. Very close to the hotel you will find very good eating and drinking establishments at half of the price you will pay on the Grand Canal. Dont eat or drink anywhere near Rialto or St Marks Square. Bets value we had has the 3 day waterbus ticket, Went to Murano, Burano and LIdo as well as around Venice Island. the hotel suits couples and adults. Not child or disabled friendly due to the stairs up to the entrance. I would definitely go back.

My wife and I had an excellent time in Venice, partly to do with the hotel's staff. They were extremely helpful and spoke English very well as we know very little Italian. Our room was clean and had a nice bath. The A/C worked great in the hot August weather. Although we were overlooking the street, our room was quiet. This is a nice quiet part of Venice away from the loud tourist areas. We saw that the rooms further down the hall overlooked the small campo and canal near the hotel, so ask for those if you can.

This was a wonderful hotel. If you have a lot of luggage, take the water taxi. Dragging rolling suitcases up and down the bridges in Venice is murder! The hotel is easy walking distance to the Rialto Bridge, the Accademia Bridge, Piazza San Marco etc. The rooms are huge, admittedly, there is no view. The TV was tiny and pretty much only in Italian, but, I didn't go to Venice to watch TV. There is an excellent Pizza place right outside the hotel and Gelato just steps away.

Good hotel, probably better for a older couple than a family. Breakfast ok, atmosphere ok. Should not have to go to front desk to ask for toilet paper for bathroom. Also there should be more than 1 waste paper basket for room especially when room is for 4. Location is nice but a little removed from St. Marks. Nice local stores in area of San Polo, not as touristy as San Marco. 2nd time we have stayed at this hotel.

We had a fabulous stay at the hotel. The occasion was our 4 yr anniversary, and the location was fantastic - the pizzeria next door was delicious. Chocciolata kaldo is highly recommended (hot chocolate) Guests should be warned that if arriving in the evening, the receptionist does not speak English, so have your phrasebook handy! Like other reviews, the breakfast is average, but fills your tummy.

albergo bellissimo, camere in stile e abbastanza spaziose per gli standard di venezia. abbiamo soggiornato la prima notte nell camera con vista e poi in quella senza. la vista è bella (di lato il canale), senza vista vuol proprio dire senza..la finestra affaccia su un muro. se comunque non interessa consiglio di prendere quest'ultima, + grande della prima. colazione ricca e personale assolutamente attento, disponibile e gentilissimo. lo consigliamo vivamente. ci siamo trovati benissimo e penso che ci torneremo.

This hotel was lovely, and of the 4 we visited in 12 days, this was our favorite. We loved our room, and every person on staff was extremely friendly. Our breakfast server/hostess was a doll and although she did not speak English, there was no language barrier and we had many laughs! It was a very quiet hotel, and the only negative I could see was that we had to walk further to see the landmarks, but loved being away from the huge crowds when we were ready to get back and rest.

The staff was extremely helpful. The place was a little difficult to find becuase its lack of a street address, but becuase venice is small place, local people generally know this place as long as you get off at the right water bus stop as indicated at its website. Make sure that you ask for the room with a patio overlooking the littel squre in front of the hotel if you book a double room. The breakfast starts at 8:15 am, which maybe a little too late for tourists who want to go out early. The only thing that they may or may not improve is the size of the shower. It's just too small, considering I weight only 165 lbs and 6'2" tall, you can barely turn around when you're inside the shower.

This is a superior choice for a stay in Venice. The staff is very friendly and helped us a lot with directions and guidance to restaurants and sights. The room was beautiful and spacious. The hotel is located in walking distance from P.le Roma in the friendly, genuine and less tourist congested part of town - and in short walking distance from the Rialto bridge crossing the Grand Canal. We fall into the category of visitors that love Venice, much tanks to the hotels safe distance from the crowds of pigeons, tourists and 10 euro coffees at St. Mark. Our advice is to see the St. Mark church and square and then get out of there. Venice is so very much more than St. Mark.

I stayed here with a friend for 2 nights in August. My previous stay in Venice was at the Danieli, just off Piazza San Marco and I definitely preferred this location to the Danieli's location. The streets are quieter, the walkways outside aren't clogged with tourists and all of the top sites are still easily accessible. The hotel staff was charming and helpful. The rooms were spotless and exactly as advertised. I recommend this hotel without reservation.

We were welcomed by Frederico and given a choice of rooms, so for a few euros more selected one with a balcony overlooking the square and canal, which was excellent. Frederico recommend a restaurant called the Birraria (3 minute walk) which was also excellent. A most enjoyable visit.

This was a superb hotel - Venice was hot and steamy while we were there (late June) and this hotel was a haven of coolness. No problem at all finding it. Our room was obsolutely spotless and smelt of polish when we walked in. We did not have a view from the window, which opened out onto a narrow alleyway, but we spent such little time in the room it made no difference. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the restaurant recommendations were good. There was not a huge choice for breakfast but we did not go hungry. We have previously stayed near St Marks square, but this was a totally different experience - much quieter and much more relaxed. We would really recommend staying here rather than in the more tourist orientated areas and will definitely look to stay in this hotel next time - and there will be a next time as Venice is somewhere we will keep going back to.

A wonderful find in a centrally located area. There is a staircase to be negotiated but worth every effort as the Locanda is fitted out beautifully, has a good breakfast included, room was spacious and bed comfortable and large. Front desk service was excellent offering eating suggestions indicated on a map they provided. Walking distance to everywhere significant and lots of lovely shops in the area. On the quieter and less touristy side of the Rialto which is to be advised for cheaper prices for shopping, food and accommodation.
