Stayed three nite last week at this lovely small hotel. Staff was attentive, breakfast good, rooms clean and well lit. Highly recommend this place to all.

When visiting any city the most important things a hotel should offer are comfort, cleanliness and convenince. The Hotel Al Piave offers all of these our stay was very satisfying. A small hotel that offers a breakfast buffet every morning that is quite satisfying.
Located 5 minutes from Piazza San Marco and 8 minutes from the Rialto. You can't get a better location. The room was comfortable with a private bathroom and was very clean.
I have nothing but good things to say about the hotel and the family that works hard to run their little hotel with care.
We visited all the other hotels we had inquired availability for the period we were there and we were very thankful we settled on the Al Piave. They simply did not compare in quality or value.
The cost was Euro 155 for standard room with breakfast and slightly more for premium rooms. It was well worth the money and I'd go back in an instant. In fact, I wouldn't consider any other hotel based on my excellent experience.
My thanks go out to the family that treated us so well.

We just returned from trip to Italy and stayed at this hotel. It was exactly what we wanted. Tucked back in, away from the crowded streets along the waterfront and centrally located. We had reservations at this hotel and the Hotel Marconi at the Rialto Bridge. The price difference was about $300 between the two, so opted low based on the reviews on this website. After we got there we were so happy we did not fall for the novelty of staying on the Grand Canal. The crowds were constant and I'm sure it was noisy at night. Hotel Al Piave is a great place to stay in Venice. The walks to the waterfront, the Rialto Bridge and Piazza San Marco appear longer on a map. Staff, breakfast and rooms were all fantastic.

I found this hotel in a book called: Venice Top 10 and then researched it on Trip Advisor. We stayed at Hotel Al Piave May 14-16. We had a family suite in the annex just down the road from the main hotel (rooms 112 & 114). The rooms were located on the second floor and we had our own floor. This was a great room for families. My husband, 12 month old, mother and father were traveling together. When you walked into the suite there were two doors to your left and a bathroom directly in front of you. My parents stayed in one room and we stayed in the other. It was perfect for us -- my husband and I could go out for dinner while my parents watched the baby, but could be in their own room. The bathroom was nice size as were the rooms. Both rooms could sleep three adults (they provided a playpen (or "cot" as they call it in Europe) for the baby. One of the rooms is a bit larger than the other and it has also the tv and fridge in it.

We are going back to Venice in December (we live in Italy) with friends and will stay at Hotel Al Piave -- rooms were spacious, breakfast was great (including scrambled eggs!) and the location was very central to exploring Venice.
