What guests think
At Antica Locanda al Gambero, travelers praise the exceptionally central location between St Mark’s Square and the Rialto Bridge, friendly and accommodating staff, and clean, traditionally styled rooms that deliver a classic Venetian atmosphere and convenient access to transport.
A recurring drawback is the lack of an elevator, with steep stairs and some rooms requiring awkward routes; several guests also note compact room sizes. Many appreciate canal-view balconies and effective air conditioning, though a few experienced warm rooms, mosquitoes when windows were open, or minor maintenance issues. Breakfast is generally considered good to decent, but a number of reviews describe it as basic with limited options. Expect a charming, centrally based stay best suited to travelers comfortable with stairs.

This is a nice old hotel. We had a very nice and quiet room. We were on the fourth floor and there is no lift so there are stairs to climb. A ported carried our bags up. There is a very nice terrace on the roof.

Breakfast was decent( no gluten free, no healthy bread). Hotel doesn't have elevator. Unfortunately, mom mom struggled to go up to the 4th floor. If you can not go up the stairs or bringing heavy lugguages, ask staff in advance you would like to get a room not so high. Staffs are smiling and very kind that they will light your mood up.

It’s not your typical hotel. There is no elevator you have to take you bags up the stair or have some one take them up for you. The location is hard to find but once you find it you will find that it is located in a very convenient location that is close to everything you might want to do and very close to the water buss station. I will book it one more time if I get the chance to go there. And the restaurant under it is very good

The hotel sat directly on one of Venice's smaller canals, but there was a lot of gondola traffic that we enjoyed. There was also a rooftop sitting area that had some nice views and was much cooler in in the evening than the Venice summertime temps. The staff was great. They do not have an early arrival option, but we let them know what time we expected to be there and they had 1 of our 2 rooms available early. By the time we got all of our luggage to that room, they had the 2nd room available. Wonderful service for weary travelers with jet lag.

This hotel is in a great location in Venice. The front desk staff were lovely and they were responsive to our requests. Another plus, the included breakfast was perfect for us. Our room was on the top floor and struggled to cool to a comfortable temperature during our (hot) June visit. Also, the bathroom was not very clean, it appeared there was mold around the tub.

Very clean hotel and friendly staff , breakfast is simple but satisfactory especially in the morning when you do not want to look for anything outside - typical Italian breakfast. We stayed in economy room but all amenities were really good and I’m good condition. Room got cleaned daily and to excellent standard!!!! Free refreshments like tea , coffee and biscuits , and also good choice of drinks in the fridge with very reasonable prices compared if you want to buy it outside. The property is in the small canal with the bridge immediately to it - very beautiful location- close to everything! We were very pleased with this property and would definitely stay again .

This is a lovely, very clean hotel. Our room had a beautiful little balcony over a canal where gondolas passed below. Morning breakfast is basic but well done and all we needed to get started for our day. The front desk staff was very helpful and carried our luggage up the stairs for us - despite other reviews that complained about this. Excellent location! Would stay here again!

With no lift, it's quite a climb to the 3rd floor where our room was. We booked a canal room view but it was tiny and very hot. The photos made the rooms look much bigger. We felt it was overpriced for what we got. We couldn't have the windows open as there was a machine making a noise and mosquitos and no aircon. Very friendly staff and very clean with comfortable bed. Great location near both St Marks and Rialto.

Overall, the hotel is great. The location is ideal, being very close to the Rialto boat station and San Marco. The room was clean and well-equipped. While the room was a bit small, this was not an issue for us as tourists since we didn’t spend much time there. The front desk staff were friendly. Accessibility Concerns: However, I would advise that the hotel may not be suitable for elderly guests or those with disabilities, as there is no elevator. We noticed an elderly gentleman struggling with the stairs daily. (We travel light so not a concern for us) Key Policy: The hotel required to leave your room key at the reception every time you go out. We encountered three different receptionists during our stay and some were not the ones who checked us in. While it was easy to retrieve our key upon telling them our room number, it did raise safety concerns. I wondered what would happen if someone provided the wrong room number.

Good location. This was our first time in Venice. Staff was amazing. Room attendant was great. Can’t beat the location. Close to tourist attraction. View of canal was great. You have to leave your room key at the front desk each time you leave. It’s an old fashion key. One less thing you have to carry. It was no trouble at all. Would stay here again. Remember the rooms are small- this is an older hotel.

Great location! A quick 5 minute walk to St. Mark’s Square on one side and a quick 5 minute walk to the Rialto Bridge on the other side. Clean, quiet, and a room not huge but large enough to move around in and be comfortable. I would definitely stay here again!

The hotel was nice and clean, with an Italian charm. The location was perfect! Good breakfast og superfriendly staff. We booked economy doubleroom, which was ok but a bit small. Make sure you check out the rooftop terrace.

It lies in the middle of center where we could go everywhere in 3-5mins. It was very nice that the boat stops from/to airport are very close. Rooms are good and spacious. Breakfast was decent( no gluten free, no healthy bread). Hotel doesn't have elevator. Unfortunately, mom mom struggled to go up to the 4th floor. If you can not go up the stairs or bringing heavy lugguages, ask staff in advance you would like to get a room not so high. Staffs are smiling and very kind that they will light your mood up.

This hotel seemed to have the perfect location with no more than a fifteen minute walk from all attractions. I would highly recommend to anybody. Friendly staff i would definitely stay here again. The breakfast included could had more choice. But overall we never went hungry.

Located in a central place, an old mansion, pretty dated and three floors with no lift...small rooms...air-conditioned, some staff needs basic customer training...breakfast very very ordinary...looks like bread and croissants bought from local supermarket and very few options....the staff whistling around...limited seating space...overall a three star hotel with good location...nothing special...no views from the rooms...

Very clean hotel and friendly staff , breakfast is simple but satisfactory especially in the morning when you do not want to look for anything outside - typical Italian breakfast. We stayed in economy room but all amenities were really good and I’m good condition. Room got cleaned daily and to excellent standard!!!! Free refreshments like tea , coffee and biscuits , and also good choice of drinks in the fridge with very reasonable prices compared if you want to buy it outside. The property is in the small canal with the bridge immediately to it - very beautiful location- close to everything! We were very pleased with this property and would definitely stay again .

Quarto muito bom. Único problema foi o acesso ao quarto. Estávamos em um quarto em família e para acessá-lo precisava subir e também descer escadas. Para quem não tem nenhum problema de saúde ou em razão de esforço físico, é ok, não impede a hospedagem. O quarto era bom, limpo, e a equipe atenciosa. Café da manhã bem bom também.

Room was lovely and clean. The bed very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was situated very near Rialto bridge and St Marks square, absolutely perfect. Good continental breakfast with plenty of choice. Just be aware it is steep stairs to all floors, not for disabled access.

A very well-located hotel that follows the pattern of others in Venice: an old but well-maintained building. The staff are friendly and helpful. However, the hotel DOES NOT HAVE AN ELEVATOR. This information was not communicated correctly, nor was it highlighted as it should have been in the Hotels.com description. I felt misled. Had I known this, I would not have booked. During the night, the air conditioner began to condense and leak water onto the bedroom floor. Since it was 10:30 PM, there was no way to call for maintenance, so I had to turn it off.

Very friendly staff. Great location, comfortable bed, nice hot shower, bag storage after check out. Very small spaces, but that’s like a lot of places in Venice. I would stay again.
