Many note clean rooms, effective air conditioning, and the benefit of a working lift. Common drawbacks include dated or compact rooms, no in‑room refrigerator or coffee maker, occasional bathroom or fragrance odors, and intermittent street noise from nearby bars. Expect friendly hospitality and a central, practical stay rather than modern luxury.

Small family run hotel. Staff are friendly and helpful with eating/activity suggestions. Great location - close to restaurants and vaporetto stop. Close enough to San Marco, but without the crowds. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Bed was comfortable, shower worked well, as did the air conditioner. Hotel has a lift, which is a bonus in Venice. Would recommend.

This hotel is in the BEST location for exploring Venice. Just 3 minutes away from the ferry terminals in the south, less than 10 minute walk to St. Mark's square, dining and bars right outside the doors, amazing!! As a solo female traveller, I felt super safe in this hotel. The only thing is that the bed was so small and super uncomfortable. The pillows are flat and they only provide 2. The ceiling in the tub/shower was low (I'm only 5' 3") and there was always a sewage-y smell coming from the bathroom pipes. There was also no refrigerator in the room. However, the AC works super well, there is an elevator for accessing the upper floors and the front desk staff was sooo helpful and sweet. Definitely a good value for the location alone!

Hotel Fontana is a gem run by 2 cousins who understand customer service. You can not ask for a better location and the breakfast, which you have to buy, is well worth the €11 charged. And they have an elevator that works! I expect a hotel in Venice to be a bit dated, it's part of the charm, but my parents stayed in a room that smelt bad. Not sure what it was but we had to keep the windows open at all times. If they get that fixed, 10/10.

A true gem in the heart of Venice, 5 mins from St Mark's Square. What an absolutely perfect hotel! Loved everything about it, from the location: five minutes on foot from St Mark's Square (and far enough from the throngs of tourists), right next to a fantastic Bacaro and the beautiful San Zaccaria church, to the interior - my spotless single room with its super comfortable bed and good sized bathroom, the lift and air con in the room, plus the wonderful friendly and professional staff, ready to give tips and advice even when checking in at 0100! Great continental breakfast, kept me going long into the day. I hope to return and soon. Super easy to get to from the airport: get the Alilaguna Line B to San Zaccaria. Or if you prefer a private transfer the hotel can sort this out for you.

Litet men mycket trevligt hotell på lagom avstånd från Marcusplatsen och inga trappor eller broar från SAN Zacharias busshållplats. Bra 24h service och tjänstvillig personal. Lite knaper frukost men helt ok

Everyone at this property is super amazing. The staff is fantastic. I had an issue with my flight and they were able to help me contact the water taxis. They were just really genuine people. It’s in an amazing location. Super walkable to the water taxis, but also to the main squares. The rooms are definitely outdated, but they are very clean. I didn’t care that much as I was only staying for two days and I don’t need significant amenities. I think if you’re someone that’s used to having a very updated modern room this might not be the property for you But like I said, it was perfect for what I needed it. My only minor con is that there was a weird smell to my room. I think it may be the water source how it sometimes gives a murky smell. It does not smell like mold. But there’s also a little air freshener that may be what is causing the scent. I am just super sensitive to smells, which is why for me it’s the only small con but other than that it was great. I would definitely recommend it especially for the amazing staff and the location.

Centrally located which is great, but the property is old. The toilet smelled really bad. Sewerage system is also old which I guess means the poo smell comes up through the plumbing. Service was good and they let us leave our bags after check in so we could explore the city.

The staff was courteous and friendly. They agreed to move us out of our original room due to an odor in the bathroom overnight. They claimed nothing was wrong but when we checked it out again the odor was there. No coffeemaker in room. No coffee until 7:30 and only if you have free breakfast as part of your stay. Now that I have a better idea about Venice I would look at other options.

噂通り、受付の人は親切で話しやすかったです。部屋に冷蔵庫がないのがちょっと残念でした。 蚊が出るためか、ベープマットのセットが置いてあって、何十年かぶりに使いました（笑）。部屋の感じはちょっと古くて狭い感じですが、日本のビジネスホテルよりはちょっとだけ広いというぐらいのサイズでした。 ホテルの場所はサンマルコ広場から近く大変便利な場所で、レストラン等が多いエリアですが、あまりうるさく感じることはありませんでした。 コインランドリーも近く、旅行中の洗濯はここで全部済ませることができました。 昼食をテイクアウトで買って、ホテルのロビー横の食堂で食べさせてもらうことができました。

There are 2 restaurants across the street from the hotel. Patrons can be loud when drinking at night so be aware of this. Room 2 urgently needs one chair reupholstered and is not useable. Room was very clean and the hot shower was good. Staff are very friendly and recommended Nevodi restaurant (15 minutes walk from hotel) for dinner. The food was very good but if you sit outdoors, be sure to use bug spray since the mosquitoes will bite. I recommend this small hotel with its close location to the center of town! 👍👍

The hotel is in a great spot, and the room was clean, A/C worked great. Staff was kind and friendly! Our room did not have a refrigerator, which would have been nice. Also, there was a strong perfume smell on most fabrics which made it difficult to sleep on the first night. Finally, there are multiple bars at street level such kept us up a couple of nights. Though, if you plan on being out late, that won’t be an issue. Overall, glad we stayed here

This Hotel is situated perfectly for enjoying Venice. It is just a short walk from the Grande Canal. The manager Gabriel was very helpful and the room with a view of San Zaccharia church was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast at 12EU was a great bargain. Everything you could expect in Italy and more. The restaurant (Roberto) across the street is excellent as well. Book it directly with the hotel for the best price.

This hotel is in the BEST location for exploring Venice. Just 3 minutes away from the ferry terminals in the south, less than 10 minute walk to St. Mark's square, dining and bars right outside the doors, amazing!! As a solo female traveller, I felt super safe in this hotel. The only thing is that the bed was so small and super uncomfortable. The pillows are flat and they only provide 2. The ceiling in the tub/shower was low (I'm only 5' 3") and there was always a sewage-y smell coming from the bathroom pipes. There was also no refrigerator in the room. However, the AC works super well, there is an elevator for accessing the upper floors and the front desk staff was sooo helpful and sweet. Definitely a good value for the location alone!

The hotel was was clean and in a very convenient location. The Fontana is a 5 minute walk from the San Marco vaporetto (water taxi) stop, so transportation to anywhere in Venice is quite easy. The staff is very friendly and quite helpful. Would definitely recommend it.

Great location for exploring the wonderful Venice and so convenient for getting from and to the water taxi’s. Plus a nice little bar next door! Staff at the hotel very friendly and helpful. Not a modern hotel but nice, it was clean and has character, I found the beds to be comfy. I would recommend this hotel.

Looks a bit old, but is well kept and very clean. Friendly and helpful staff. A bit far from the train and bus stations, but very close to attractions and to water bus service. Would stay there again.

Hotel Fontana is a gem run by 2 cousins who understand customer service. You can not ask for a better location and the breakfast, which you have to buy, is well worth the €11 charged. And they have an elevator that works! I expect a hotel in Venice to be a bit dated, it's part of the charm, but my parents stayed in a room that smelt bad. Not sure what it was but we had to keep the windows open at all times. If they get that fixed, 10/10.

A true gem in the heart of Venice, 5 mins from St Mark's Square. What an absolutely perfect hotel! Loved everything about it, from the location: five minutes on foot from St Mark's Square (and far enough from the throngs of tourists), right next to a fantastic Bacaro and the beautiful San Zaccaria church, to the interior - my spotless single room with its super comfortable bed and good sized bathroom, the lift and air con in the room, plus the wonderful friendly and professional staff, ready to give tips and advice even when checking in at 0100! Great continental breakfast, kept me going long into the day. I hope to return and soon. Super easy to get to from the airport: get the Alilaguna Line B to San Zaccaria. Or if you prefer a private transfer the hotel can sort this out for you.

This Hotel is situated perfectly for enjoying Venice. It is just a short walk from the Grande Canal. The manager Gabriel was very helpful and the room with a view of San Zaccharia church was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast at 12EU was a great bargain. Everything you could expect in Italy and more. The restaurant (Roberto) across the street is excellent as well. Book it directly with the hotel for the best price.

Hotel was easy to locate. The host was wonderful, made us feel at home, and gave us good advice. Breakfast was available, you paid for it, wasn’t to expensive and was convenient. The room was quiet and adequate. I would have liked to have water available in the room.

A lovely family run hotel, right in the heart of Venice but still maintaining a small and intimate feel. The breakfast is great, beds are comfy and the AC is a lifesaver, particularly in the summer. I would happily recommend this hotel to anyone for either short or long term stays.

It's an older hotel but ideally located and the staff was exceptional. I stayed in a single room and although it was small it was functional but for me the bed was quite narrow. I loved the view from the window but because it was on the top floor, the shower was very difficult because a low slanted beam was right in the middle of the bathtub/shower so I had to constantly dip my head, I'm 5'10" so perhaps shorter people wouldn't have had that issue. If I stayed again I'd book a larger room, but overall I was very happy with my choice.

Warm, welcoming staff who are genuinely invested in making sure you have the best possible stay. Room was clean, spacious, well lit, and comfortable. Surprisingly quiet despite being located on a busy corner. St. Mark’s Square and water transport only a short walk away. Stay here while you go enjoy what Venice has to offer!
