We were looking forward to this hotel and hoping it would be our nicest stay in Italy. It was our worst ever!!! We booked 6 weeks in advance through their website and asked for a crib for our infant daughter. When we arrived we were shown to a small room (#212) with a day bed in lieu of the crib.... More

3 nigths in a large room with a view on a street and a view on the square, very clean, quiet, modern bathroom, great place for breakfast, close to everything we wanted to see (Biennale, Palazzo Grassi, etc...), at a super price (270€ 3 nights!), my GF happy too, that's the most important!! Ok, breakfast not that big, who cares... More

Overall, I liked this hotel. We had a large room with a very large bathroom and a great shower. The woman who worked the main desk was very friendly and helpful. The location was very convenient to St. Marco and the vaporetto stop. However, I must agree with others that the breakfast was not very good, and there was a... More

This was supposed to be our big splurge. We payed for a room with a "view". This was the most expensive room in all our travels including Rome and Florence. The room and lobby STUNK! AWFUL GAG SMELL! Thank god it was cool we slept with the window open. The manager/owner was a complete jerk and spoke terrible english. The... More

I stayed at Hotel La Residenza in early September after receiving a recommendation from a friend and couldn't have been happier with my choice. The hotel itself has an old style glamour that you can only dream of and was surprisingly inexpensive, especially when you consider the handy location (from memory ... a 10 minute leisurely walk to Piazza San...

We choose our room on the basis of the internet site and the pictures of some wonderfull rooms we saw there. Alas !! When checking in, we were led downstairs to a very small and dark room that in no way resembled any of the rooms we saw on the internet...The bathroom was even worse, the smallest bathroom we've ever...

We can confirm that there are rooms the size of a shoebox with a bathroom the size of a matchbox. Even a couple of dwarfs would be crowded !!! Though the hotel was half empty the manager refused a transfer to another room. Breakfast was basic and unpleasant due to the horrible waiter. Fawlty towers would be paradise compared to... More

We liked this hotel's location (very near San Marco). The rooms were spacious with nice atmosphere, and continental breakfast was good. The staff I experienced were all helpful. The only concern I had was finding out at check-in that the "owner preferred cash." I had paid cash at hotels the previous 5 nights (which had been no big deal since... More

This is a great place to stay for the atmosphere. Location is about 10 minute walk to St. Marks Square along the lagoon and Grand Canal. The owner is task but not service oriented. Fulvia, who is on duty at the front desk in the afternoons and early evenings, is wonderful. She went out of her way to help us,... More
