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

First of all if you decide to find your hotel in Venice on your own print a google map with the walking way to the destination and always follow the arrows with indication painted on the top of the walls. Its the best way to walk around Venice!But obviously at some point you'll end up getting lost! :) I took... More

I was staying in this hotel from 16 to19 of January 2013. I was happy to be there. Hotel locates in the small street near St Marco square. The place could not be better.

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 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

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

We landed in the mid night and to our horror had to carry all the luggage through bridges and cornors for a long time to locate the hotel. In despair called up the hotel and they send someone to pickup. The worst was waiting when we landed in the hotel and realised that need to carry all the luggage through... More

My wife and I stayed in hotel Ateneo for a couple of nights in September. We had a very enjoyable stay. The hotel is very close to all attractions in Venice. We reached Venice by mid night and we could not locate the hotel. We called the hotel for the directions and the young receptionist was very helpful to the... More
