The Hotel is a very old building, but what can you expect in the heart of Venice, right? It's well located, the staff was helpful, free breakfast was ok, and rooms were clean. That's all I needed! There is a nice view of the grand canal and Rialto Bridge from the breakfast balcony or lounge area on the 2nd floor.... More

We stayed in a party of five during three days in April. Following an annoying welcome, with the reception person ignoring us for 10 minutes while chatting to the mailman we had a chance to drop the bags and start exploring Venice. And this is the ultimate spot for reaching any part of venice, grabbing the ferry, going to the... More

We have stayed here before and will return in 2012. It certainly is NOT the worst hotel we ever stayed in, in fact we enjoyed our stay because of the location, which after all is the most important thing. The staff were helpful, the room was clean (if a bit small) but we only slept there. I would not pay... More

OK - you have to keep your view of this Hotel in perspective. The building is older than the USA itself... so its not perfect in terms of being a modern hotel It is however clean and comfortable and the location simply could not be better. The staff were all EXTREMELY pleasent and helpful. Breakfast was fine - meat, cheese,... More

This hotel is shameful for the price. We have actually had a reasonably good time here from laughing at how bad the place is. The staff really are very friendly, but they know what you are about to walk into. At reception you will be informed that there are no refunds for cancellation, so that if you flee in horror... More

From 30dec2011 - 02jan2012 @ 210€ per night = 840€. This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. How do I loathe thee. Let me count the ways. Where to start?. Bathroom: toilet lid cracked; shower leaked where head attached to hose making it impossible to keep water off floor; lid of waste bin broken. Bedroom: thermostat broken,... More

Oh the Disappointment! We had understood from earlier reviews of this establishment that the Locanda really was something very special. In addition we were under the impression that we had booked a room overlooking the Grand Canal. Instead we were given the key to a dark, gloomy room overlooking the side alley and, on asking if we had made a... More
