Wow, what a hotel! From the moment we arrived we thought this hotel was such a find!

It was a very short walk from the train station, it might have been ten minutes but it felt very short to us. The first huge plus was that it was very easy to find. On our walks around venice we have seen many people with suitcases and maps out struggling to find their hotel location, this would be one of the easiest hotels to locate that is close to everything but far enough away too.

The owner immediately put the phone on hold and promptly checked us in, then took us up to our room while also assisting us with our luggage. He showed us the room and its features, the room is a huge bonus.

We were upgraded to a superior room and thought it was just gorgeous. The decor was better than what we wanted or expected, the bathroom was very lovely.

The hotel is well located and we found it easy to walk around everywhere and find our way back.

It was very clean and such a good job was done every day. It also included great amenities not all 3 star hotels we have stayed in include, such as to toiletries (even a mini toothbrush!), hair dryer, bidet, desk and fridge.

We enjoyed the breakfast each morning and found the pastries more tasty than France!

This hotel is excellent value for money, you will not be disappointed. The owners are very lovely and this hotel was a pleasure to stay at.

Thank you for a wonderful stay Hotel Ca Dogaressa!

We stayed here in September of this year and had a wonderful time. We like to be away from the crowds and Ca' Dogaressa fit the bill perfectly. We arrived by train and walked to the hotel from the station, about a 10 minute walk. Upon our arrival Paolo, the owner welcomed us like we had been there before. He gave us a cold water, checked us in and showed us our room. We were in a junior suite on the second floor overlooking a beautiful canal. After settling in, I went down stairs for a cigar and he brought out a Bellini, a nice drink and we sat and talked. Breakfast in the morning by the canal was perfect. Coffee and a wonderful assortment of Italian pastries. I was nice to sit and have breakfast while watching Venice come alive. We wondered the back canals of Venice behind the hotel and really enjoyed ourselves. Paolo was a gracious host and always had our best interest at heart. He lives next door and his wife would look out while we sat by the canal and wave. The cost for a hotel in Venice was affordable and Venice not being that big it was close enough to pick up a Vaporetto and get anywhere you wanted to go. Lot's of restaruants close by and a great little cigar shop about 200ft away. Thank you Paolo for a memorable stay.

Spent 2 nights here, 26 & 27 November 2012. On arrival we were upgraded to a superior classic room........what a great start !!!. Daniel, the owners son checked us in, so helpful. Room was beautiful, spotless and a good size. Free WIFI, fresh towels everyday.

We chose this hotel based upon previous reviews and I must say that in my opinion it cannot be faulted. Breakfast was very good, ok only a continental breakfast but they had everything required to start the day.......freshly baked croissants and a very good choice of coffees, fresh rolls, refilled coffees.

Location in my opinion was perfect, walk to St Marks was around 25 minutes but we preferred that as in meant "meandering" through some back streets which we enjoyed. It was our intention to only visit St Marks and the usual touristy attractions once but we found that after walking around the area local to the hotel (Jewish Ghetto) we just kept on walking as the sites and architecture were so appealing.

On our first afternoon we came across a Billa supermarket that was only a 5 minute walk from the hotel and we stocked up on fresh rolls, ham and cheese and fruit and ate this at lunchtimes in order to keep costs down. The owner assisted each morning by filling out thermos with boiling hot water..............what a star !!!!!, so accommodating and helpful I really cannot praise the hotel and the owner and his family enough.

Venice is a very beautiful place, it was our first visit and out of season, we also wanted to do this short trip on a budget but with a very nice hotel based upon Tripadvisor reviews. I can confirm that we achieved this and the hotel came through with flying colours. I can confirm that this hotel is everything previous 5 star reviewers have said and I would have no hesitation in recommending the hotel.

I could say so much more but I'm sure readers will all ready get the picture.................IF YOUR VISITING VENICE MAKE SURE YOU STAY AT THIS HOTEL, ITS EVERYTHING OTHER REVIEWERS SAY AND MORE !!!!!.

We spent a happy three nights here and were pleased again with the reviews getting it spot on. It's a lovely family run smaller hotel but is a real gem. Our room was at the rear and was a big room for Venice, quiet and clean and tidy. No nonsense bathroom. Maybe next time would pay more and have a canal view from the front of the hotel. Breakfast on the canal side is just great starting your day with the Venice vibe. Location was good for water-bus and trips etc. Make sure you come with plenty of euros it's not cheap anywhere in Venice.
