The hotel is situated in a very good location as it is just a few minutes away from St Marks Square and the Rialto Bridge, close to plenty of restaurants and shops. Hotel Ateneo is like a boutique hotel; beautifully decorated having a traditional Venetian style. The breakfast room is rather small, but food was decent and plentiful. This included... More

Good location, great value hotel. Beautifully decorated in traditional Venetian style. Staff were really friendly and spoke great English, my friend was unwell and they were fantastic. Bathroom spacious, breakfast room is small but adequate and continental selection is good.

This hotel is just a few minutes walk from StMarks Square and the Rialto bridge. The rooms are tiny but this has always been our experience with centrally located traditional Venetian hotels. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. unfortunately staff at breakfast are not as welcoming. Breakfast was very basic and the dining area is far too small and cramped.... More

While the hot water was non- existent and the tv was intermittent, the breakfast was decent and plentiful (for Venice), and the service was helpful and with a friendly smile. My single room was small, but with a great price and by Venetian standards it was sufficient. A great quiet location and a good value in Venice.

We originally booked into the partner hotel (San Moise'), but were relocated upon arrival to this hotel (Ateneo) on the day of arrival, such a shame as San Moise' was simply a much better location. We were not informed of this whatsoever prior to checking booking in, but were advised that maintenance commenced night before our arrival....The first room we... More

Venice requires a lot of walking so a good location is important if you're going to see the sights. Ateneo is no more than 12 mins walk (at a casual pace) to : St. Marks square and Basilica, Accademia bridge, nearest water bus, shops. About 15mins to Rialto Bridge. Fenice theatre is around the corner 1 min walk. (make that... More
