I came to Venice to accomplish a 35-year dream to see it and to celebrate my 60th birthday. The Antica Locanda al Gambero helped make it happen. What a charming little hotel!! I discovered it by searching the Net and couldn't be more happy that I chose it. Almost equidistant from both San Marco plaza and the Rialto Bridge, it... more

I could not have dreamed of a more perfect place to stay in Venice - this hotel was part of what made my whole experience of this amazing city so wonderful. The rooms were so beautifully decorated with all the mod cons (even tea and coffee!!!) and I loved to sit and write at the little desk by my window... more

My self and my traveling partner left with several bites, a couple in a row which is a tell tale sign of bedbugs. Now, at home I have been bitten also. Its a real drag as bed bugs are difficult to get rid of. Beware. Other than that the hotel was good, and the staff were nice, but the bed... more

Great hotel for families. My wife and I traveled with our 2 children (under 10) and booked a quad room. The service and experience from the hotel manager that greeted us was above expectations and helped with our problem (in-house safe broken). His english was good, although we spoke italian I did notice he was more than helpful with other... more

Great location and a friendly staff. The room was clean and luxurious. I did not shy away from taking a bath in the tub! :-) We had a amazing view of a canal from our window, it was breath taking. We arrived on the day of the festival and saw fireworks from our hotel window! The breakfast was yummy. My... more

The hotel is in a great location, just a few minutes walk from Piazza San Marco. The rooms are comfortable, the staff friendly and the restaurant (10% reduction for hotel guests) was absolutely superb. I will certainly stay there again. more

This hotel is exactly as advertised. Typical Venetian decor in their clean and modern rooms. We had a window that overlooked the canal and could hear the gondoliers singing as they passed by. We had a little trouble finding the hotel at first but Venice in general is difficult to navigate. It's a short walk to San Marco Square or... more

Stayed here May 2009. Awesome hotel! Hotel Gambero is in a prime spot, located between the Rinalto Bridge and Piazza San Marco. We also got a sweet deal on the price (breakfast included). Free WiFi access available in all the rooms. Charming, spotless rooms with marble bathrooms, plus hot running water with good water pressure. English-speaking reception staff are friendly... more

I recently had the pleasure to stay at this delightful family run hotel in a superb location between Piazza San Marco and the Rialto Bridge. It is far enough away from San Marco to be in a nice quiet location, yet near enough to be extremely convenient. The room was great, actually the most spacious of the three star hotels... more
