Guest Reviews

• Dominic (7/5): - Great location right around the corner from the main plaza and fairly close to vaporetto stop. Good room with good full sized bathroom. Instructions to the building and getting into the room were helpful. The AC didn't work and the housekeeper said it was being looked at Monday. We would have liked to be informed of this before arriving and no consession was made. It was quite humid in the room so it made it uncomfortable to sleep.
• Carter (9/5): Amazing location, easy check in procedure, would stay here again. - Amazing location, owner was very friendly. And drinkable tap water + snacks is always a plus! Shower did not drain, so had to use half pressure so it did not overflow. Also the AC didn’t work, but we just opened the windows and it was perfectly fine.
• Maureen (9/5): -
• Kwan-Hong (10/5): - The property was in the center of everywhere and so easy and convenient to eat and shop. Importantly the owner made the place so comfortable and easy to communicate with.
• Ineke (8/5): -
• T (9/5): Wonderful stay. - Lovely comfortable room, quiet with everything you need. Amazing location.
• Harald (10/5): Perfekt von A bis Z - Super Lage - perfekte Unterkunft - hilfsbereites Personal … und ein eigenes Fach im Kühlschrank in der Küche nicht zu vergessen. San MARCO Vallaresso über Linie 1 und 2 ist die beste und kürzeste Stelle der Anreise. Keine 150m. Und zum Frühstücken empfehlen wir ohne Abstriche das San Marco 1076. Kostengünstig und top Qualität und das in Venedig. -
• Sharon LeBow (10/5): Perfect spot in Venice - Hidden Gem - Hidden Gem is a delightful little stay spot right off St Mark's Square. As the name reflects it's hidden down a narrow passage way in the heart of the City. Elegant room with bath, and access to community kitchen, where each room has dedicated fridge space and cold bottled water. Short walk to the Market, Restaurants, the Rialto Bridge, Harry's Bar where the Bellini was born, and awesome views of the canals in every direction. No elevator, to help with heavy bags, but only one flight of stairs, so it's manageable. :)
• Mike (8/5): Amazing location - best in Venice! -
• Lidija (8/5): Perfect location and suited us down to the ground - Perfect location and friendly check in / communication with the host
• Muilenburg (8/5): Location was great, Annalisa was very helpful and attentive - Location No community restroom, rooms kinda small
• Alessandro (9/5): Piacevole - La posizione era perfetta Un po troppo spoglia
• Jurate (10/5): -
• Raoul (10/5): -
• Fred (5/5): - Located close to St. Mark's Square and where our tours met. Terrific restaurants in the area. The communal kitchen area, including a refrigerator with freezer, was convenient and adequately stocked for use. Booking.com does not disclose that you have to climb 32 steps to reach the door to the unit in the building. It is difficult to reach if you have heavy full size luggage. Nor does it disclose that the telephone number provided in the paperwork has to be reached via Whats Ap. The number is not answered , regularly, if just dialed on a cell phone so it was not easy to communicate with Hidden Gem in Venice since we do not have Whats Ap. Bathroom area very small especially the shower area.
• Stephanie (8/5): Perfect location with helpful host - Perfect location, just a few minutes from Piazza San Marco. Extremely helpful host who helped us with transport. Fresh towels provided daily. The decor is quite dated (similar for a lot of properties in Venice) very steep stairs to the apartment with no lift which was difficult with a case.
• Ahmet Burak (5/5): Kısa sürekli konaklamaya kişiye göre ideal - Konum olarak heryere yakın ki zaten merkezde. Ev sahini oldukça yardım severdi. Oda temiz değildi. Çarşaflar kirliydi. Üzerinde başkalarına ait saç vardı. Yorgan temiz değildi. Valizlerimiz olduğu için merdivenlerden çıkmak çok yorucuydu. Oda da kahve makinası olmaması kötüydü. 1 gece idare edilebilir
• Barbara (8/5): -
• Isabel (10/5): Tolle Lage und super Ausgangspunkt wenn man die Lagunen Stadt besichtige möchte und wenig Zeit in der Unterkunft verbrin - Sehr Zentral, sauber und ruhig. Man ist in 2 Minuten am Markus Platz sowie in etwa 5-10 Minuten an der rialto Brücke. Die Zimmer sind solide und für einen Städtetrip super ausgestattet mit eigenem Badezimmer. Wenn man bspw. Ein Bügeleisen benötigt kann man einfach bei Annalisa anfragen und es wird sofort geholfen. -
• Laure (8/5): - L’emplacement, le confort (silence et noir complet).
• Simone (10/5): - Posizione incredibile e ottima, 2 minuti da Piazza San Marco ma senza tutto il casino.
• NATALIA (9/5): MUY BIEN. - La ubicación, al lado de la plaza San Marcos. La limpieza. El personal amable. Nada. Por decir algo, me costó un poco encontrarlo, está dentro de una calle estrecha, es una puerta verde.
• Anna (9/5): Posizione ottima, appartamento pulito e accogliente! Consigliatissimo -
• Camilla (10/5): - Gentilezza nell'accoglienza e disponibilità a depositare lo zaino al momento del check out
• Stefano (9/5): - Posizione eccezionale, a tre minuti da piazza San Marco
• M.Ángeles (10/5): - La proximidad a San Marcos, aunque es difícil el acceso. El baño sin ventilación y casi sin espacio, con respecto a la habitación, que es muy ámplia.
• Franz (7/5): -
• Elena (8/5): -
• Rebekah (10/5): -
• Ivette (8/5): -
• Ani (9/5): -
• Sandra Nohemí (9/5): Muy bien - La ubicación No aclararon que en desayuno no estaba incluído
• brittany (10/5): This property was absolutely exceptional. The location could not have been better. Perfectly situated for exploring Veni - Location, comfort, safety, customer service, cleanliness Not a huge deal but the kitchen did not have a microwave
• serife arzu (8/5): - This was a well maintained, good standard property , safe, clean, I can recommend it.
• Sacnite Guadalupe (10/5): Céntrico y cómodo lugar para conocer la ciudad - En el corazón de Venecia, cómodo, limpio y de fácil acceso Solo puedes ingresar a la habitación subiendo escaleras
• Nicole (9/5): -
• eren (7/5): Bir kaç günlüğüne çocuksuzlar için ideal bir yerde. - Tesisin konumu gezilecek yerlere yakın. 3 odalı bir misafir evi. Banyo odanızda. Ortak mutfak var ama kullanmadım. Yetkili kimseyi görmüyorsunuz, mesajla tüm bilgilendirmeler yapıldı. Evi bulmakta yerleşmekte zorlanmadık. Konumu daracık sokakların içinde, eşyanız çoksa çocuğunuz varsa ulaşım çok zor. Asansör yok zaten çok eski evlerin olduğu bir bölge. Şehrin bu bölgesi zor her yer köprü merdiven. Engelli ya da bebek arabalıya çok zor.
• Sorin Vlad (9/5): Definitely a worthy location - Clean and warm room (including bathroom), TV, good bed, central location. The wi-fi was pretty unstable (solved always with a router restart).
• Feliciana (9/5): -
• SABRINA (8/5): -
• Heike (8/5): General I was really impressed with the location and lovely presentation of the room. Thank you so m - The location is amazing. Even my 86 year old mother was able to walk with a small wheeled suitcase from the ferry to Hidden Gem, from there around all major sights and had enough left in the tank to explore further afield. The stairs were a bit hard for her, but that was age related and younger people can do it easily. Lovely place , the kitchen was great to have access to! The stairs for older guests are difficult and the step behind the door to the room.
• Victor (10/5): Great Location. - We had a wonderful stay in Venezia! The apartment was spotless, incredibly well located—just a short walk from Piazza San Marco—and exactly as described. Check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow, and communication was fast and helpful throughout. Our host also gave us the best dinner recommendation of the trip: Osteria da Carla, which became our favorite. Highly recommend this stay!
• Dieter (7/5): -
• Christina (10/5): - The location was phenomenal, so close to San Marcos square. Tucked away and hidden but easy to navigate back to. We loved our stay, maybe a microwave would have been nice for our leftovers
• Jolanta (10/5): - Lokalizacja super, piękne klimatyczne miejsce, świetny kontakt z właścicielką
• Leusch (10/5): Superb location, cost stay in a beautiful city - Awesome location, about 1 minute from St Mark’s Sq. Nice cosy room, shared kitchen with the other 2 rooms in the house. Beautifully decorated, and comfy. It was great.
• Lisa (8/5): Une pépite en plein centre de Venise - Emplacement exceptionnel, chambre confortable et bien chauffée, salle de douche très propre, cuisine commune très bien équipée, possibilité de laisser les bagages Entrée difficile à identifier mais AnnaLisa disponible
• karima (9/5): Venice in love - Centralissima! Annalisa, molto gentile e disponibile. Ci tornerei sicuramente
• Filippo (10/5): Bellissimo - Bellissimo, posizione perfetta, curato accogliente e molto pulito!
• Lapo Gianni (9/5): - L'emplacement
• Richard (10/5): -
• Dana (8/5): Amazing location and great host - awesome communication - Amazing location and very warm, clean and tidy. Nothing it was great
• Marianne (10/5): - Excellent emplacement et excellent rapport qualité prix pour Venise Parfait pour nous. Ne convient pas pour des personnes qui ne sont pas à l’aise dans des escaliers. C’est le charme des demeures anciennes
• Eleftheria (9/5): -
• Rinske (7/5): Goede locatie. - Supergoede locatie. Duidelijke instructies hoe er te komen. Er is ook nog gebruik van de keuken.
• Luigi (10/5): Accogliente e in una posizione strategica - Piccolo B&B praticamente in Piazza San Marco. Arredato con gusto in stile veneziano. Molto accogliente e pulito. Chiarissime le istruzioni per accedere alle camere. Silenzioso. É un vincolo insormontabile dell’edificio quello delle scale. Quindi attenzione a chi ha problemi di mobilità o valigione!
• Nykolet (9/5): PERFECTO!!! Will certainly be Back!! - LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION IS WHAT EVERYONE SAYS!!! and this Place is in the BEST location!!! Unfortunately it was a lot of stairs to get to the main area. This cannot not be changed.
• abdullah (1/5): لاانصح فيه فهو شقة مشتركة وليس فندق ولايوجد فيه احد لخدمتك - لاشي موقعه سيئ والوصول له سبئ وازعاج والدرج صعب جدا لحمل الحقائب
• Andres (10/5): - Perfect location.
• Gwendolyn (9/5): - Clean and quiet and responsive owner!
• Alessio (9/5): -
• Silvia (9/5): Posizione eccellente - Posizione eccellente, camera relativamente grande. Possibilità di farsi il caffè nella cucina comune e dolcetti confezionati in camera. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo La nostra camera non aveva il bidet. Il riscaldamento dei termosifoni non funzionava per cui il bagno rimaneva freddo, anche se in camera c’era lo split con pompa di calore e abbiamo usato quello. La mattina del check out un’ora prima dell’orario di uscita hanno bussato e urlato chiedendo se volevamo lasciare le valigie, capisco eh ma magari uno un’ora prima sta facendo altro o si sta ancora svegliando… non mi era mai successo da nessun’altra parte, tra l’altro ce lo potevano chiedere quando siamo usciti dato che erano lì in attesa di pulire la camera…
• Florencia (8/5): Muy bien ubicado - La ubicación. Y te dejan cafe/te para el desayuno Hay que pagar la tasa turistica en efectivo
• Rossetto (10/5): - Ubicación y limpieza Todo perfecto
• Ruth (9/5): Perfekte Lage, sehr freundliches Personal, leicht zu erreichen. - kein Frühstück inbegriffen Beschreibung, wie die Unterkunft zu finden ist.
• Javier (9/5): -
• carolina (10/5): - Por la mañana mucho ruido fuera por obras . Pero no tenía nada que ver con el hotel
• akos (9/5): -
• Sofia (8/5): -
• Diana (10/5): -
• Sarah (7/5): Sehr zentral gelegen, freundliche Inhaberin, leider sehr hellhörig - Die Lage war super, fußläufig kurz hinter Rialto und trotzdem durch die Seitengasse ruhiger gelegen. Zimmer waren sauber und die Abwicklung hat auch ohne Probleme geklappt. Die Zimmer sind leider sehr hellhörig. Hat man etwas lautere Gäste nebenan, hört man das ganz deutlich, ebenso jede Tür und Bewegung im Flur. Das Bad könnte auch an manchen Stellen erneuert werden.
• Alejandro (10/5): -
• Lucía (8/5): -
• Ksenia (10/5): - The location is just perfect
• Christoph (8/5): - Lage Kein Frühstück
• Catherine (9/5): Amazing location and great value - The location is amazing and easy to find with the instructions given. Quiet at night as well. Bed was comfortable.
• Victoria (10/5): Wonderful, comfortable apartment steps from St. Mark’s Square - The location is STELLAR!! You’re in the absolute heart of Venice and getting anywhere in the city is a piece of cake. You’re right by a gondola pickup and two separate water bus stops, plus a short walk to the Rialto bridge and Grand Canal. The space is very comfortable and welcoming. The bed is comfy, bathroom is well supplied, and the shared kitchen has everything you need. Annalisa was absolutely wonderful! She provided everything and was incredibly responsive. Her directions to the property were so detailed, clear, and informative. Even though we were new to Venice and the lanes were confusing, it was very easy to find! She also supplied the room with small snacks and a prosecco and chocolates as we were celebrating our honeymoon. :) The property was wonderful, no complaints at all! One thing that travelers with mobility issues should be aware of is that the apartment is at the top of one flight of stairs. The stairs are not too steep and there’s a handrail and lights in the hall.
• Lilian (9/5): -
• Timothy (9/5): - Location is outstanding, comfortable bed
• Patricia (10/5): Wonderful location. Host was awesome with great communication skills place is not big but big enough. Shower was wond - Great location Nothing really. Venice is expensive so rates are comparable. We were 3 friends - room is not big so we were glad we had only 10kg bags….but we were glad of that for many many reasons.
• Kerri (8/5): - Very central to San Marco, there are plenty of restaurants. It's just a great place to visit. It has a communal kitchen Very small
• Alex Sivkov (9/5): - Nice shared kitchen, perfect location, polished bathroom
• Miriam (9/5): - Das Zimmer befindet sich in einer 3-Zimmer-Wohnung ganz in der Nähe des Markusplatzes, so dass alle Sehenswürdigkeiten innerhalb kurzer Zeit gut zu erreichen waren. Für alle 3 Zimmer steht eine gemeinsame Teeküche zur Verfügung - der Herd darf leider nicht genutzt werden, im Kühlschrank hat jedes Zimmer ein eigenes Fach, in welchem auch schon gekühltes Wasser bei der Ankunft für uns deponiert war. Herzlichen Dank! Das Bad ist wirklich sehr klein, so dass es gut war, dass die Handtücher täglich gewechselt wurden - die benutzen Handtücher wurden über Nacht nicht wirklich wieder trocken.... Der Checkinn gestaltete sich völlig unproblematisch, mit einem Code kamen wir in das Haus und dort erwartete uns schon ein Umschlag mit allen wichtigen Informationen. Daraufhin ging es eine steile (!) Treppe hoch zur Wohnung (für manche Menschen sicher ein Problem)! Auch der Checkout war völlig unproblematisch. Das Zimmer war sehr schummrig und dunkel, da wir aber eigentlich nur zum Schlafen da waren, war das für uns ok.
• Lucia (10/5): -
• Caslav (10/5): - Stairs
• Marzena (10/5): Pobyt fantastyczny a sama Wenecja jest cudowna i piekna - Napisać że było cudownie to za mało. Lokalizacja apartamentu rewelacyjna. Blisko praktycznie do wszystkich głównych atrakcji. W apartamencie czysto, schludnie czekał na nas słodki poczęstunek a także zimna woda. Dostęp do własnej łazienki . Kuchnia wspólna ale to w niczym nie przeszkadzało, pyszna kawa i herbata. Dostępna lodówka i ekspres do kawy. Mogę powiedzieć z czystym sumieniem że będąc w Wenecji jedynie tam spaliśmy. Całe dnie spędzaliśmy na spacerach i zwiedzaniu. Pozdrawiamy serdecznie właściciela a także Panią która nas meldowała. Było cudownie. Mam nadzieje że jeszcze kiedyś tam wrócimy :)
• Maria (8/5): -
• Katharina Franziska (10/5): Sehr zu empfehlen - Zentrale Lage, recht großes Zimmer mit guter Ausstattung. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden direkt wiederkommen! -
• Chi (9/5): - Vintage apartment in small alley, right in the heart of venice. Very convenient to San Marco Square, Museum, Tower and many delicious restaurants around Slightly hight stairs to climb
• Jenna (9/5): Would stay again - Great location near many mane attractions. Comfortable beds and beautiful bathroom. Easy communication with the host. The air fresheners in the room are too strong and not necessary!
• Diane (4/5): -
• Borimir (10/5): -
• Helen (9/5): Exceeded our expectations - We loved staying at the Hidden Gem. The location could not have been better. Annalisa was a fantastic responsive host. The facilities available were great for a three night stay and the room was really clean. I think we will be back (and recommending it to friends and family). We loved it all!
• rita velloso (9/5): - Do espaço em geral. Funcionários gentilissimos. Localização perfeita. Da cama: colchão antigo, desestruturado, merece ser trocado.
• Mario (9/5): Great location to explore Venice - Superb location Shower was ok
• Christine (9/5): - Great central position, quiet side street away from all the crowds Comfy bed Small shared kitchen area so you could make a drink, and fridge and freezer stocked with your own water to use. Room looked a little tired, bed covers/curtains/ pictures. Would give it a much better look and feel with some nicer fabrics.
• Phu (10/5): Indeed a hidden gem! - The BEST location right in the heart of san marco yet the room was extremely quiet and peaceful. Very cool vintage decorated place. Annalisa was great! We had fresh towels daily, extra snacks and was very helpful with guiding us with what’s good in Venice Just be warned there is no elevator
• Marianne (10/5): - Suporte da Annalisa foi super bacana! Atenciosa. Ótima localização.
• Jelle (10/5): Great place to stay in Venice - Really nice central location and very friendly host!
• Antonio (9/5): Repetiría - Magnífica ubicación. Fenomenal cocina comunitaria. Atención fantástica. Nada de ruido Muy bien el baño.
