I stayed at Hotel Iris for 2 nights in October 2012, the location is good, everything is within walking distance. This is a great place to stay if you would like to visit Venice on a budget. The rooms are ok, and if you ask, you may be able to get a room with a view overlooking the canals, which... More

Reception full-time managed, englishspeaking and friendly in an italian way wich means no unnecessary politeness. Clean and extremely hot room (November 16degrees celsius) Nice view. Minus is the fact that it came as a surprice that the spartan breakfast was one block away, maybe because of the season? Still, would recommend to kind of picky travellers with midsize walllet.

What a disgusting, horrible place barely of 'hostel' status - NOT hotel!. Firstly don't believe any of the pics on the website - they are very old. The building is dilapidated and stinks of sewage / bad water & cigarettes. We booked this place as it appeared to be the best 'value for money'. It's NOT! It just happens to... More

The location is fine and the house is beautiful and rustic, and that is the only positive things I have to say about this place. I went there during the Venice biennale in 2009. The receptionists were grumpy and spoke hardly any English. It was not possible to print a few pages from their computer at the desk. Hardly anything... More

I am usually very tolerant to hotels because I don't spend much time in one anyway when I'm travelling. But I feel obliged to other tripadvisor members to tell my experience while staying in this hotel. Well, you gonna have to lower your expectation upon arriving at this hotel. Just look at the photo that I uploaded showing its exterior.... More

The Hotel Iris is a typical very basic Italian hotel, but right in the centre of Venice. It's only one step above a hostel, but if you want location and need to scrimp on the hotel bill, it's a real option. However, there are a few things you need to bear in mind. First, where is it? There's a lot... More

Stayed two nights here in August. Staff was okay, and staircase was steep and tight, especially to haul a suitcase up, but the room was fine, with a nice little view and quiet evenings. The area around the hotel is very neat, with much less tourist traffic than near the Rialto or San Marco's. Free wi-fi (albeit only in the... More

I was originally booked into the backpackers hostel around the corner which is owned by the same person. After 1 night at the backpackers I was moved to this "hotel" because the room at the hostel was disgusting, falling apart, NO drainage in the shower so room flooded. Seems the Iris is used for overflow of hostel guests and hotel... More
