Residenza Ca' San Marco - Venice

10

excellent hotel in excellent location

8.6

We were lucky enough to have been given the Junior suite on our first night (although this was an error). Junior suite had a balcony which overlooked a canal. We had to move to a smaller room on our second night which was a bother, but the smaller room was lovely as well (no view though). Location was excellent - between St Marks and the Rialto Bridge. With the directions provided we were easily able to find the hotel - very close to the Rialto bridge. Staff were lovely. Breakfast was minimal but sufficient for me. My daughter was a bit more fussy.

7.9

a tiny and lovely hotel, very friendly and kind stuff, very near to interesting places in Venice. Breakfast-room is very small.

i had a very brief stay. but that was enought for me and my patner to feel welcome and confortable. Thank you.

7.7

Das Hotel liegt ganz nah am znetralen Ort in Venedig - San Marco, Rialto. Personal ist sehr freundlich, kann auch relativ gut Englisch. Das Hotel war etwas schwierig zu finden, wenn mann aber die Anweisungen genau folgt (was wir leider etwas verpasst haben) dann gelangt mann ziemlich schnell am Ort. Füstuck nicht besonders umfangreich... nicht mal Käse oder Wurst zum Brötchen. Was das Zimmer anbetrifft, so sieht das genau wie auf dem Bild aus. ganz gemütlich (wenn auch klein) und Sauber. Für diejenigen die es interessiert - Zimmermädchen kann Russisch ...

8.7

Un poco caro. Muy bien localizado, y la habitación que nos tocó era muy coqueta.

7.9

Hotel is well located. Room is clean. We recommand it.

9.9

Having stayed at equivalently-priced places during our stay, we were really delighted. We were given great directions, the location in San Marco couldn't have been more central, the decor was beautiful, the breakfast ample, and there was air-conditioning, to top it off.

9.6

very good hotel,located in the heart of Venice.

8.9

Get a detailed map. Very easy to miss the hotel. Venice is fantastic! You lucky people who live there! We had 2 nights at Residenza Ca' San Marco. Brilliant location, so near the bridge & the square. Very quiet & small. Helpful staff - but they did forget our early wakeup call - which messed up our plans. So take your own alarm. Breakfast could be more imaginative, Very plain & boring. For the price, some real cheese & bread would be good.! But yes we would go back!! Jane & Ronnie K

9.4

Ok, This hotel is a great location if you do not care about having a view (I do not). It is very clean and in a great location. The price was unbeatable and the staff friendly. I will stay there time and time again.

10

The Hotel was excellent. Friendly staff who made sure that you were ok. They warned us about a transport strike about which we knew nothing and made sure we could cope. Finding the Hotel is absolutely no problem if you follow their instructions. Breakfast was excellent, our room the Suite was superb - luxury. Very quiet except for (during the day) the gentle sound of the Gondolas passing under our balcony overlooking the canal - with the occasional musical serenade. The Hotel has no pretentious facade to it. Simply a door in a very narrow dark long (but well lit) alley. No one would imagine this super hotel was lurking within. Ring the door bell and (24 hour reception) the door is opened and Harry Potter like you enter this super hotel.

7.7

Finding the hotel is a little on the tricky side - the best landmark was the Foot Locker store opposite the alleyway. Great location in terms of getting to main sites of Venice in a couple of days. Hotel itself was a pleasant hideaway at the end of the day. Staff were friendly and helpful, with great local recommendations for places to eat and money saving tips for Venice.

8.4

We were not in the main building, the second house is two streets from the Hotel Residenza Ca' San Marco what is also nice but noisy because of a bar next to the hotel. Make sure your room is in the main house.

10

They e-mailed us very good directions, but we walked right past it anyway (because it was not yet dark enough for the lantern over the front door to be lit, and that's the landmark). We were in the annex around the corner, but the breakfast room is there so it was actually more convenient that way. Staff member offered to help haul our luggage up the 46 steps to our fourth-floor room. The second "loft" level inside room 106 was a pleasant surprise; this room is great for a couple with children, or two couples sharing a room. Very clean. Nice bathroom. Good breakfast. And you can't beat the location, halfway between San Marco and the Rialto bridge.

7.0

We had a lovely stay at the Hotel Residenza Ca' San Marco. Venice is expensive so I was pleased with the quality and location of this hotel in relation to other things we had seen. The breakfast was nothing special. I think they would be better off adding some cold meats and cheeses. If you dont eat cereal there is not much else on offer. The room was clean and the location was perfect. It is a little tricky to find to start with and we struggle to find a friendly Venician to help us. But we found it in the end. If you are wanting something compact but very centrally located, you can not go past the Hotel Residenza Ca' San Marco. I would stay again if I returned.

7.5

breakfast poor

9.3

Thought the price of hotel was cheap for the great location. It is not top of the line but the people are great and very accomodating. The room was clean but looked a little outdated. Carpet could be replaced but it was clean. Breakfast is served at the restaurant next door. Great location on the waterfront. Easy to get to by train and bus.

8.1

Nous sommes parti pour un week-end de 3 jours. L'hôtel est un peu difficil a trouver. Mais il est très bien placé géographiquement. Près de la Place St Marc et des sites touristiques avec l'avantage d'être dans une ruelle très calme. Notre chambre etait très propre,et silencieuse. le petit déjeuner correcte et frais. L'accueil est vraiment excellent, les personnes sont charmantes et très prevenantes. Tout le monde parle français. Nous conseillons ce petit hotel typique (très bien décoré), agréable.

8.5

Location is fantastic. The room was great, very clean seemed newly renovated and the bathroom was spacious and very clean. The hotel was a bit hard to find since it's located in a very small and not much frequented but very quiet street (better directions to new guests would be an improvement). Would stay there again for sure.

9.2

We were in Venice for three nights and two days. It was a great experience! There's no place like it in the world. The Ca' Residencia was sort of hidden in a back alley, but this contributed to a quiet night (until the church bells at 7am). Dining suggestions by the hotel staff were excellent!

9.3

It was very difficult to find the hotel during night time because the sign plate was too small.

8.9

Good sized room.Location a bit difficult to find. Very convenient location.Unfortunately no elevator. Had to lug bags up 2 flights of stairs.

9.7

The lady at the front desk was one of best receptionists i ever met: very charming and welcoming, but also extremely professional. The hotel is ok, nice rooms, clean and quiet.

9.4

Landmark for us was Foot Locker- the alley was across from it. We were very happy with the reception and the breakfast. I loved the towel warmer in the bathroom and the elegance of the room. Everything was clean, from the bedroom to the bathroom! They were very accommodating and for the price, it was great! I'd highly recommend it! The only thing to consider is that they didn't have an elevator- we travelled with very little bags so for us it was not a problem.

8.0

the reception is very kind, I like here so much.

9.1

We were very pleased with the Ca'San Marco. The people were very nice especially Deborah, who greeted us when we came in. I believe you could do a better job with directions; it took us sometime to find it. Everything else was great ! I would go there again !

9.5

Very good location, clean rooms, overall a very good stay. We arrived late at night and brought a small snack back to the room after a full day of travel and were asked by the night staff to eat it outside in the alley which I found a little heartless. However, at the same time, a mistake in the booking was made and the hotel manager was very accommodating in finding a solution and he was very apologetic although the confusion was not his burden! I would recommend this property as a great spot, clean and well worth the visit.

8.9

Great location! First and formost - location was awesome - you do need to follow the directions which they send you, but yes - it is very good. I loved that it was down an ally that looked scary and deserted, but it wasn't threatening at all, and we got a room that you could see the canal at the end of the ally which was cool. Breakfast was decent and filling - rooms are quiet when nobody is about (which is 90% of the time) but if anyone is around, you will hear them. It's really a tiny hotel, only one floor with about 8 rooms. It was a great value.

8.8

Ca San Marco is Located in the top downtown area. The guy who welcomed us was friendly and competent. he even upgraded us to Junior suite at the same price ! Hotel ok , excellent quality/price ratio.

10

Everything about this place is excellent. Cold breakfast was included and was very good. My one request would be easier access to boiling water, either an electric ketel in the room or a tap on the coffee maker in the eating area. Other than that, wonderful stay. Highly recommended.

8.7

Excellent hotel well priced for venice, our room was really modern and new and even had a jacuzzi which i wasnt expecting. rooms very clean and bed comfortable, quite spacious for european standards. breakfast not bad, although the breakfast lady was nowhere to be found the first morning so we had to chase her up for 15 mins which was a bit annoying. great location not even 5 mins to rialto and st marks square. would definately stay here again

8.6

These have been four fantastic days in Venice. The Hotel is very graceful, small and silent. A little bit difficult to find but is in the center of the shopping area of Venice, between Rialto and San Mark. Breakfast OK. Recommended to everyone. Incredible price for Venice.

9.6

This hotel is in an excellent city centre location. The room and service is first class.It is a small hotel(4-5 rooms) with personal service. Initially it is difficult to find but thereafter is easy.I would recommend it every time and will stay there again.

9.6

Excellent location. Nice, helpful, friendly staff. Cozy small hotel nicely appointed and maintained and clean. Definitely a good value. This property is highly recommended

9.9

Wonderful spot, a little tricky to find....nice, new décor, very clean, hotel clerks most helpful and very pleasant. Great location, within a short walk of Piazza San Marco, the best spot in Venice.

9.0

this is located between railto and piazza san marco. i would say its location is second to none.

8.3

The room was average sized, basic and clean. It was quiet compared to other parts of Italy and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Make sure to get a good map of Venice, the hotel is on a very small side avenue.

5.2

Once we arrived in Venice (Ponte Rialto), we walked. The hotel was virtually impossible to find. The impression from the web page is that it's easy to find: in fact it is very hard, and the person in the reception was unable to explain it over the cell phone. We probably spent a good 45 minutes just trying to locate the hotel. The breakfast was weak, there was yoghurt and bread and basically nothing else. In general, the hotels in Venice are about twice the price of similar standard hotels elsewhere. At EUR 180 per night, this was one of the lowest-cost options we could find and still be in Venice.

8.3

This is a small hotel which made it less impersonal than some of the larger places we stayed in. We stayed in the annex building which was very pleasant. This is the building where the breakfast is served so it was very convenient. It also seems easier to find in the maze of passageways that surround the hotel. You are in the heart of Venezia.

9.6

We had a great time in Venice. The hotel was a little hard to find but it is in a very good location to both San Marco Sq, and Realto. Only 5 minutes in either direction.

10

Wow! what a great room! we had the junior suite and had a balcony over one of the canals so were able to enjoy many gondolas, performers and singers as they passed beneath us. we enjoyed getting a sandwich on the street and eating on our balcony. could not have asked for a better location!

9.4

We loved this hotel. We were upgraded to a spacious two story suite with a balcony. The room was lovely. Loved the location and the friendly helpful service.

7.7

My wife and I, senior citizens, spend 4 incredible days in Venice - a dream come true thanks to our loving and generous daughter. The hotel was a bit difficult to find, but once we got used to the location - turn right at Footlocker, it was excellent. Rooms small but adequate and breakfast excellent. Would go back in a minute!!!!!!!!

9.2

We were in Venice for work and pleasure. This is a fabulous location for sightseeing and shopping. The staff was excellent, and the included breakfast was diverse and tasty. The breakfast area is not spacious, but is clean and welcoming (I especially loved the Stragazer lillies). Our only quibbles were with the small shower (we bumped into the enclosure with every move while showering, and the door knocked everything on the hanging soap rack off it), the lack of washcloths (no wonder the Brits carry "flannels"), and the lack of any dresser or drawers for clothes in the room (since we brought hanging garment bags which didn't fit open in the armoire, we had no good place for folded items). Finding the hotel is a challenge only if you don't receive or follow the detailed map sent when your reservations are confirmed.

8.2

this is a quiet, spotless little place just steps from san marco and rialto; friendly, helpful staff; cheerful attractively decorated room with good beds, good lighting, tiny but well-appointed bathroom. price seems high but we americans are suffering from the collapse of the dollar.

6.2

We stayed for 5 nights in October 2007. The main reservation was the room location. There were two street lights outside our window which shined directly into our room. They couldn't have been more than 3 or 4 feet from the window. This was room number 2. To make matters worse there were no window treatments they allowed you to close and block out the light. It also was a little noisy with voices easily heard from the street. It was a good thing that Venice is a walking city as we were tired at night and sleep came easily. The location was great, halfway between the Realto bridge and San Marco and lots of shopping.

9.8

The hotel and service was great.Athough the location was also very good (close to St, Mark's), I lost the directions to the hotel(which were sent to me) and it was down an alley and quite difficult to find.Venice is a maze of alleys,small bridges with many steps so you really need to know where you are going, especially if you are pulling luggage.The room and the breakfast were very good.I don't believe there is such a thing as a quiet room in Venice.

9.8

Excellent accommodation. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would not hesitate to use this hotel again and would recommend it to family and friends.

9.8

Perfect location between Rialto Bridge and St Marks Square. Lovely staff and very good breakfast. Our room a twin was a little small but good value for the money we paid. There is a lovely large double room overlooking the canal. Recommend highly

8.8

Excellent location within walking distance of the Rialto bridge and St. Mark's Square. We had a very large room for Italy. There was a separate entrance hallway that the bathroom was off of and then a separate bedroom. The staff spoke English very well and was very helpful. Breakfast upstairs in the hotel was excellent.

9.1

very centrally located the instructions re how to het there were spot on we would have never found the place otherwise the room was small but really nice very central position

9.1

The location is probably the best quality of this hotel. From there you can be in San Marcos every day and night just before going to sleep and enjoy the classical music played there in the squere. Breakfast was quite enjoable and enough to get going during the day. From the hotel is very easy to go almost anywhere on foot. We stayed 5 nights, and only used the vapporetto for two days (48 hours). It is a great combination to get to know Venice. Rooms where actually very quite, without humidity! We highly recomend it...

9.5

A great location right behind St Marcs square. I'm supprised at the cheap rate how good the room was. Our shower didn't have a shower curtain, but that's the only "negative". Staff were very helpful with locations & where to do laundry & shop. This was perfect for us as it's not a big hotel & we could come and go as we pleased.

7.4

residenza molto carina un po' difficile da trovare; magari leggermente cara ma in posizione centralissima

9.3

This must be the most perfect hotel location in Venice! Its in the absolute middle between St Marco and The Rialto-Bridge. Just remember to take to the left by Footlocker. The most quiet hotel in the world to wake up in. Perfect vecation! The hotel was verry nice and clean. All working there are giving you a high level of service and are doing a verry good job. Worth every € it costs.

10

Excellent!! Everything was wonderful. Great lociation. Staff was incredible. The room was one of the best we've ever been in. Request junior suite if possilbe. Would definetly return to this hotel!!!

9.3

Beautiful little hotel tucked away in the back-alleys of Venice. We were lucky enough to get the junior suite, with a lovely little balcony overlooking a canal. The room, lavishly decorated with cloth wall covering and guilding made us feel like royalty. We were warmly welcomed by friendly staff who even came out to meet us from a nearby plaza. Venetian prices taken into account this little hotel was well worth the money.

7.8

Very difficult to locate - maps are useless. It would be better to just say walk 500 feet, take a right at the Foot Locker store. Other than that, excellent cute hotel, with no elevator (if your bags are heavy this is difficult). Otherwise, the service was excellent and we loved the quiet street.

8.6

Very friendly and competent staff. Good pre-arrival service (maps etc. sent by email). Located very centrally in Venice.

9.9

Excellent experience with employees and facilities. Great communication from hotel to confirm overall booking and room availability after booking through venere.com. Great flexibility from hotel as I called to maintain reservation after airline delays caused us to arrive 8 hours late. Terrific location in the heart of the shopping district with easy walk to St. Marks Plaza and Rialto Bridge. In an expensive city like Venice, this hotel is a great value. Honestly, I don't work for this hotel. But I do travel alot and I appreciate the effort this hotel and its staff made to make my stay enjoyable.

8.6

Everything has been perfect. Good location, very central ( 5 minutes to San Marcos place ). Breakfast is not really a highlight, but it ´s italy. The employees are very helpful and very friendly. The price is really high, but it is worth it.

9.1

The Best local to stay in Venezia...

9.8

Perfect location! just 2.5 minutes from ST.Marco square and 2.5 minutes from rialto bridge. Venezia shoppingstreet is only 0.5 minutes away.

8.7

We did have some difficulty finding the property initially as this was our first visit to Venice, but it is a great location between San Marco and Rialto Bridge. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful and the breakfast was small but filling and of a good standard, very suitable for the number of rooms. Would recommend this hotel. The price of the drinks in the mini bar was also cheaper than the street.

8.3

It was very hard to find... Down a TINY little street. The pictures make it look like you are on one of the canals, but it is not. We were given a room a few doors down, not in the main part of the hotel. There was a skylight, but no window in the room, so the room was dark. There was construction noise early in the morning. Overall, nice place. Just being in Venice is wonderful!

9.3

We stayed three days in Venice, two nights in Residenza Ca' San Marco. Everything was very good. The location is outstanding: equally close to Rialto, San Marco, just a pleasant stroll to the Accademia. The staff was warm, and Deborah especially was kind and helpful. I would recommened this place easily.

8.8

This was our 1st trip to Venice. The staff was very helpful with information and restaurant recommendations. The room was small but we expected it to be that way in Venice. The continental breakfast was very good with lots of choices; cereal, yogurt, juice, pastries and American style coffee.

9.7

A very pleasant stay and an excellent location. Even though we have been to Venice at least three time previously, though not for many years, finding the hotel really is a challenge. The street is tiny by any standard and even having located it, we walked right by the hotel entrance and had to ask for help. Don't let that discourage you, it's a verygood small hotel in a very good location. Breakfast was a very acceptable continental breakfast. Not the best we've ever had but well up there.

8.7

Very nice hotel, in a very nice place, location is ideal to visit Venesia. Employees are very smart, the receptionist speaks french and give us some useful tips and tricks at our arrival. Rooms are nice and very clean. In conculsion, we had a very nice stay !

8.5

Beautiful view! The person we spoke with, Deborah, was very helpful. She got us a restaurant reservation at a canal-side place, which was awesome! I would recommend this place to anyone. You have to try to get the suite, though, so you can have the view of the canal on the balcony!

9.5

Very nice hotel located in the very heart of Venice-excellent location and nice family atmosphere.

10

I have visited italy many times and visited Venice a total of 5 times. The two most recent visits, I have stayed at Residenza. I love this hotel. It is in the boutique style, with only 6 rooms. The staff is extremely friendly and go above and beyond to make the visit enjoyable. I plan to return to Italy and to Venice next year and will definitely stay at Residenza. The value, compared to my prior stays is excellent.

8.9

It was a very nice stay. The surroundings are interesting, historica and beautiful

8.7

very nice, clean, friendly employees, good location, a lovely accomodating place for a good price.

7.2

Residenzia Can San Marco is not really a hotel as we understand it in France. The accessibility should be better clarified and a precise route given in the form of PDF. We arrived at night by rainy weather, it is very difficult. Furthermore, we had a chamber without window, it is really very unpleasant. I think that we should have to have a precise description of the reserved chamber by name.

5.9

Hotel is on an excellent position between San Marco (5 min walk) and Rialto bridge (3 min walk) in a tiny alley, where you would not at all expect a hotel (at least compared to other European cities)! So it is also quiet. My room was very clean but also very small. Breakfast was simple. Hotel is not situated on a canal as one of the hotel fotos suggests!

9.5

the hotel is perfect if you can't stay in venice a long time and the quality of it is excellent. I appreciated it very much even if it is a bit expensive but venice is an expensive city.

7.3

Very quiet hotel as described on the web site. I would recommend it. The only problem is to find it. it is hidden in a very narrow street.

9.1

Very friendly hotel in the middle of rialto-bridge and Marcus square. Small but very nicely decorated room, we stayed at 103.

9.2

Neat and clean hotel with nice staff. The welcome was warm. As the hotel was overbooked, we got offered the junior suite for the price of a simple double room. Breakfast ok, bathroom clean. Central location; inmidst shopping streets, 3min from Rialto and 5 from San Marco. All in all we had a perfect stay for an overly reasonable price;

7.6

Though it was hard to find (which seems to be a given in Venice!), this hotel was tucked away in a quiet alley just off the most exciting part of San Marco sestiere. The rooms were quiet (except during Carnevale, of course!) and you could glimpse the canal down the street. Very helpful staff recommended restaurants, gave directions (critical, since maps were useless) and let us park our luggage very early before check in. Breakfast was adequate, if not very fresh or tasty (most of it canned or packaged, coffee not very good). Drawback: no common room for sitting, reading, making a phone call--just the breakfast area and your own small room. Still, it was a great value for the price I paid through Venere.com, and I'd consider going back.

6.7

Hotel is cleaned, welcomed. The room was nice furnished, big. The breakfast could be better, especially coffee (was like american, but not Italian).

8.3

Great little hotel, very conveniently located for most of the main attractions. Nothing amazing - but for the price why would you expect that.

7.4

Trés bon accueil en français. Très bien situé entre le Rialto et la place San Marco. On est au coeur de Venise. Nous avons d'abord eu une petite chambre au RDC mais pour la deuxième nuit, nous avons dormi dans "l'annexe" qui se trouve à 3 minutes à pied. Là, la chambre était spacieuse. Vraiment très bien. Un bon plan.

9.0

The staff at Residenza Ca' San Marco was very nice and provided us with a good map and suggestions for restaurants. The room was clean and spacious as well. Before arriving, the staff provided us with great directions on how to find the hotel.

8.6

lovely, clean hotel. Our room was very spacious. Staff extremely helpful. Directions to hotel from Rialto excellent and straight forward to understand. Hotel does not have lounge area or bar. We were in a ground floor room a few doors away from main hotel. In good position between Rialto and St. Marks square. Had very early flight home so staff arranged a 'takeaway' breakfast for us to eat on our travels.

9.8

This was a very nice place with very helpful and friendly people. and what a great location! this place was in a small building with lots of character. I highly recommend. Venice maps are trying at times so use the directions on the web site.

8.6

Is a tiny beautiful and clean hotel, 2 minutes walk from San Marco square and from Rialto bridge. Staff is very helpful. Breakfast consists in bread, croissant, jam, two different cakes and obvioulsy coffe , milk , cappuccino, hot chocolate and tea. I will return definitely.

7.5

Kleines Hotel mit ansprechender und rel. neuer Ausstattung - Gepflegte und zeitgemäß ausgestattete Zimmer - Freundlicher Service - Frühstück leider etwas dürftig (Wurst und Käse fehlen) - Das Hotel bräuchte ein deutliches Nasen-Schild zum besseren Auffinden ! (enge Gasse)

8.6

The room was so Venice! Bathroom was exceptionally clean, bedroom was very spacious. I will definately stay here again. Location was fantastic, right in the heart of Venezia. The staff were very welcoming too. The only thing is it is a little hard to find, but once you do it's sooo very easy. Thank you!

9.2

The hotel immediatley sent an email as soon as I booked on Venere providing the best directions from Rialto. We arrived in the evening and went right to the hotel without trouble. It is very well situated in the heart of Venice around everything, but very quite at night.On your way to the hotel note the location of the ROLEX watch store, the hotel staff uses it as a landmark to just about everwhere and it works very well. The room was very nice, a little strange you have to use your key for the power, a power saving device I am sure. Breakfast was included and was very nice, the room was small, but not all guest was there at same time.Staff very helful with directions and recommendations of sites and places to eat.

8.7

I think the hotel would appeal to mature travelers. This was my first time in Venice. I wish we had stayed longer.

8.9

Excellent ratio quality/price for Venice. Excellent location. Small room for breakfast yet OK considering the location. Small but clean room.

9.4

The location of this hotel was perfect for walking to all site seeing locations as well as within easy walking to the water taxis. Room was large,comfortable and quiet. Breakfast service was very good and a great time to visit with other guests and talk about special sites that were particularly enjoyable.

8.5

Nice room and location. Tub didn't have a curtain or glass around it so taking a shower was a mess. Breakfast was OK but no meat or real cheese as we found elsewhere. Very friendly and helpful staff. All in all, a good place to stay.

9.2

Clean room and would stay again.

9.9

Great location, very clean, comfortable bed and friendly staff and owner. Expect small room by western standards, but can't fault our stay in Venice. Ask for room 22, corner room with small view of distant canal. Gave 9 out of 10 for surroundings because of tiny allyway to find hotel and 9/10 for small breakfast/ lounge area. Follow Deborah's instructions exactly for finding hotel - it works

9.0

Small hotel on a narrow alley near Rialto bridge and Piazza San Marco. Very hard to find on your own. Small clean room. Hallway noises heard easily through thin walls. Adequate free breakfast. Good price for a hotel room in Venice . Helpful competent staff.

9.0

Wonderful place for our wedding anniversary. Too bad that the only suite was already booked, but the room was very romantic too.
