Polecam wszystkim
- Luiz Mendes (7/5): -
- Viola (8/5): Alloggio perfetto per visitare Venezia - La posizione, il contesto in cui era inserita la camera, un palazzo storico. Il materasso è davvero scomodo e vecchio.
- Szilágyi (10/5): -
- Eduardas (8/5): бесконтактное заселение как вариант. - Удобное месторасположение. Площадь Сан Марко, мост Риалто в 5 минутах, магазин вообще напротив))) Единственный, даже не минус, а особенность - регистрация в другом отеле
- Aferdita (10/5): -
- Michele (10/5): -
- Cecile (9/5): - Emplacement top tout en étant au calme
- Ειρήνη (10/5): - Ήταν κοντά σε ό,τι θέλαμε να κάνουμε. Και στο καλύτερο μαγαζί με τιραμισού της Βενετίας!! Επίσης μας άρεσε πολύ το μπαλκόνι που είχε το δωμάτιο. Το προσωπικό πολύ ευγενικό. Επίσης, μετά το check out, κράτησαν τις αποσκευές μας για όσο θέλαμε και έτσι μπορούσαμε να κάνουμε την τελευταία μας βόλτα χωρίς να κουβαλάμε.
- Vincent (9/5): -
- Luis Renato (8/5): Almost worth it. - Nice ubication, kindly people on the hotel and facilites. No microwave, no fridge.

- Adriana (9/5): -
- Adrian (9/5): Muy buena! - Habitación muy bonita y completa, muy bien ubicada, la chica de recepción muy amable, nos explico todo muy bien. En recepción me dijeron que tenían un restaurante y que con la tarjeta que me estaban dando me darían una bebida gratis, al llegar al restaurante nos dieron una bebida que le daban a todos los que allí estaban, siendo o no huéspedes, cosa que no me gusto al momento de pagar, no me descontaron ninguna bebida. La atención en el restaurante bien, no excelente como había sido en la recepción del hotel.
- Victoria (6/5): - Central location No staff at hotel. Very creepy building. I was with friends who had their own rooms too, not a good place for solo travelling.
- Sözen (9/5): -
- Alberti (9/5): - La posizione centralissima e la cortesia dello staff (Chiara e Andrea). Davvero collaborativi e gentili. La stanza era calda, dotata di 2 armadi e ampio bagno Non funzionava la TV
- Brian (9/5): Beautiful old building. Our room had a balcony overlooking the canal. Room 11 -
- Igor (8/5): Ottimo - Posizione Un po’ trascurato L ‘Ingresso dell abitazione
- Didi Vale (10/5): - La habitación espectacular, con vista al canal. Muy calentito, limpio, cómodo.
Proporcionaron agua y te. Todo me gustó
- Elena (8/5): -
- Pedro (4/5): -

Flessibilità per lasciare bagagli senza costi aggiuntivi e orario check in
Sono le piccole attenzioni a fare la differenza
- Giorgia (8/5): - La posizione ottima, in centro, a due passi da piazza San Marco.
La disponibilità e gentilezza del personale, un ringraziamento speciale a Martina!
- Claudio Marcelo (10/5): - La ubicación
- Juan (9/5): -
- Luca (3/5): Consiglio una maggiore attenzione nelle pulizie e possibilmente predisporre appenderie - La vicinanza alla piazza e molto gentile la ragazza che ci ha accompagnato alla camera La camera era sporca ……
Tendaggi ,copritetti, piene di macchie ,andrebbero lavati con maggior frequenza,poi ,ragnatele ovunque,tanta polvere ,porte e maniglie piene di ditate unte sporche che denotano la sommarietà delle pulizie svolte.

- Hotz (8/5): Top Lage und mehr... - Die Lage war sehr zentral. Die Sauberkeit im Zimmer war sehr gut. Der Weg zum Zimmer durch den Innenhof fühlte sich so an, als würde man dort wohnen. Das Zimmer ist klein, aber für ein Städtetrip ausreichend. Abstellfläche hat mir im Bad und im Zimmer etwas gefehlt.
- Marcos (2/5): Caro e lugar que deixou muito a desejar ratos enormes na entrada da acomodactinha uma entrad gondola - Somente por ter um mercado na frente com boas opções de bebidas e alguma coisa para comer . Não tinha frigobar quarto sem esse item melhor nem colocar para locação algo indispensável e não pode faltar televisão não funcionava nenhum canal ..
- Kenan (7/5): -
- Richard (8/5): -
- Birgit (6/5): Okay, wäre aber nicht sicher ob ich es noch einmal buchen würde. Vielleicht als Paar okay. - Die Lage ist sehr gut, 3 Minuten vom Markusplatz entfernt. Schlüssel müssen abgeholt und abgegeben werden in einem anderen Hotel, dieses ist ca. 8 Minuten entfernt und dies erfährt man erst nach der Buchung. Hotelpersonal hat mir bei der Abholung des Schlüssels mit dem Gepäck geholfen und mir den Weg gezeigt zur Unterkunft. _Allerdings bedeutete das beim Auschecken, dass man mit seinem ganzen Gepäck erstmal wieder in das Hotel zurück musste (Treppen steigen etc.) um den Schlüssel abzugeben. Das Zimmer war groß, ebenfalls das Bad, Sauberkeit okay. Die Unterkunft liegt in einem alten "Palazzo" und man gelangt über drei Türen in sein Zimmer. Da es kein Hotel ist verfügt es nicht über eine Rezeption, d.h. man ist quasi in einer Privatunterkunft. Die Durchgänge in dem Palazzo zu dem Hotelzimmer sind etwas gruselig, da wenig beleuchtet (dunkel), labyrinthisch mit verschiedenen dunklen Ecken, Türen und Kammern und es wirkte alles ziemlich unbewohnt und sehr vernachlässigt. Da ich als Frau alleinreisend war habe ich mich daher immer etwas unwohl gefühlt beim Verlassen und Zurückkommen in mein Zimmer.
- Edmundsz (6/5): - The location was perfect—a quick, few-minute walk to St. Mark's. We were especially impressed with how quiet it was, which led to a very restful and good night's sleep. The rooms were clean and immaculate. While the stay was good, there are a couple of areas for improvement. Firstly, street navigation was very challenging; clearer directions or local signage would greatly help guests locate the hotel entrance more easily. Secondly, the indoor plants seemed uncared for, detracting from the overall aesthetic inside the building.
- Stefan (8/5): -
- Dal col (9/5): - Pulita e accogliente
- Raul (10/5): - The property was unique, very good spot to get to areas around Venezia, easily accessible to St Marks Square , accessible to other area of location and check in is more simple than it sounds would recommend
- James (10/5): - This property was great for our needs. The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. There were even outlets on both sides of the bed which was helpful compared to some of the other places we stayed on this trip. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Casa Dolce is basically guest apartments operated by Bella Venezia so there is nobody onsite at Casa Dolce. This was not a problem for us in any way. Check in was completed at Bella Venezia and then they helpfully walked us the half dozen blocks to Casa Dolce. This was really helpful because the streets of Venice feel like a confusing maze the first day or so. Breakfast is available as Bella Venezia for 12 euros. It is buffet style with a good selection of food options, but it is hard to beat a cappuccino and a pastry at one of the nearby cafes. The location was a short walk from Piazza San Marco and about a five to ten minute walk to Rialto Bridge so it was very conveniently located. If you are traveling with large/heavy luggage, keep in mind that a ten minute walk over uneven surfaces and multiple ups and downs on stairs over the small bridges can be taxing. Overall, Casa Dolce was just right for our needs and we had a great stay.
- Chiara (7/5): -
- Matías (9/5): Excelente alojamiento para parejas jóvenes. Muy recomendable si buscas una opción económica y de buen nivel. Personal ag - Excelente alojamiento, acorde a su precio. Limpio y con personal preocupado. Solo fue difícil al llegar encontrar la ubicación exacta de la habitación y conectarse con el servicio. No tenía buen internet y menos telefonía móvil. Las habitaciones están alejadas del hotel central lo que dificulta un poco la coordinación en el uso de la habitaciones.
- Reid (10/5): - The view exceeded my expectation!! The location was amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The only thing I would change is higher seats on the balcony and a fridge for drinks so that more time could be spent sitting out enjoying to the view. Absolutely can not wait to come back!!
- Damien (8/5): Vrai , authentique - Très bien placé
Bel immeuble
Beaucoup de charme
- Miranda (8/5): -
- Mihael (8/5): -
- Kristy (8/5): Right in the heart of venice - Lovely superior room right in the heart of Venice. The room was lovely, good a/c, comfy bed. Rooms cleaned everyday. Couldn’t complain could even just see canal from window. Only thing that could improve was having a fridge in the room but as the spar shop was literally opposite this wasn’t really a problem. The court yard in pictures no longer looks as nice as this but the whole building itself was quite quirky, very Venice and one of the cheapest rooms I could find so close St marks square. Bit of a faff checking in at a different location but our room was ready early so no problem really. Overall lovely stay.
- Billy (6/5): It was a place to sleep. - They had us come to another place to checkin and then wanted us to upgrade to that hotel for twice the price.
The room was ok but the air could not keep it cool. The bathroom sink leaked and left the floor continuously wet
- Parker (10/5): - Clean room in a good spot
- Richard (7/5): Dated but value for money as relatively cheap - We needed a room in Venice for one night at very short notice. This was one of the cheapest options and was good value for the money. Location was amazing and a different part of Venice to where we stayed the previous three nights. The room was dated but you get what you pay for in Venice. Room was dated but if you just need somewhere to sleep it does the job.
- BETTY (8/5): - Check-in hotel it was far away to another place where they send us to sleep 20 minutes walking , no phone in the room to contact with them, we don’t see any employee in this place …
- Orfdadina (10/5): Renaissance - The place was a little hard to find. But everything is, just because we are not use to the way the address everything in Europe. The room was great the the outside could use a little work. Location was perfect would stay here again.
- Ulisse (9/5): - Come da annuncio
- Sara (10/5): Mágico - Nos encantó todo!! No tengo ninguna queja
- MAŁGORZATA (7/5): -
- Jana (10/5): - Čistota izby, blízkost všetkeho či pamiatok, reštauracii alebo kanalov Nieže nepačilo, ale schratrane budovy zvonku ale krasne zvnutra
- Aeffe (8/5): -
- Patricia (6/5): Nice feeling to annex building - Dried pasta on bedside table. Otherwise clean. Shower did not turn on (one night stay tried to shower AM before leaving). Annex was on a canal, needs updates but was nice even though repairs were obviously needed. Friendly staff. Hard to travel with luggage from hotel to annex, no porter available.
- Cesar (10/5): - Love this place… I will stay here again in future
- Martin (4/5): - Martina on front desk amazing - but it is an old disused hotel - no amenity. The rooms are very tired and pictures make it look good when in fact it is a closed hotel. You also have to check in at their main hotel - and then walk to the accomodation - not ideal after a long flight. The atmosphere is bare, water damaged and the rooms are very tired. Would not recommend.
- Rashad (1/5): -
- Saifur (8/5): - Location and their customer service. Unfortunately all family members got sick same time. The hotel staff carried our baggage as a courtesy. They should tell or mentioned clearly which ferry to take for the hotel.
Also it is inconvenience to gueat register in another hotel and walk back to our hotel.
- Hasan (1/5): - Garnicht Alles
- MERCEDES (9/5): -
- Toni (10/5): Estuvimos súper bien! Alojamiento de lujo! - Ubicación Nada
- Elizabeth (10/5): - We had one of the rooms with a balcony overlooking the canal and it was beautiful! Nice, clean room.
- Milenkovic (8/5): - Sve je bilo u redu, lokacija 👌odlična.
- Sophie (10/5): - L’emplacement, le calme et la climatisation.
- Noel Oliver (6/5): - Rooms decors, furnishings old already need upgrades
- Barbara (10/5): - I liked the architecture and the vintage decorations of Italy. In Venice the Hotel location was close to the public transportation and was walkable to go to St Marks Square and the restaurants and shops. Most of all because it was so hot in summer, the air conditioner was great.
- Stela (8/5): -
- Sikandar (1/5): very bad experience - nothing very smelly mosquito bites on my face and body
- Ruben (10/5): - Good and cheap option
- Betzaida (10/5): - Great location with a wonderful view of the canal, the balcony was beautiful. Would definitely stay here again.
- Carolina (9/5): What a view - I would book it again just for the balcony on the canal. So wonderful and relaxing. The shower has a leak
- Jessica (6/5): Pleasant -
- Robert (8/5): - i liked the non tourist vibe but the common areas lacked comfort and tidiness
- Orkun (9/5): It was good enough. - The atmosphere of property and especially the balcony with view of canal was really wonderful. It was clean and the approach of staff was really nice. The only missing part is fridge. There was no fridge in room but canal view covered the lack of fridge.
- Tyler (8/5): Very good -
- Ma. (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emma (9/5): Ok - Really close to San Marco square: 4-5 minutes walk. I would recommend the accommodation to provide room slippers, because the floor was cold.
- rodeo (10/5): - Lovely location
Old classic building but with AC
We loved it
- rodeo (10/5): - Very special
Lovely piazza
We will stay there again
You must see the vilvaldi ci cert in his church
Superb
- glenda (10/5): - Excellent service
- Ryan (10/5): - Good room, had no hot water so had to move across town at 1am to a new room. The office to check-in is not at the hotel so be aware of that. Call if you get lost and they are very helpful.
- Yorlett (6/5): - Muy importante buscar la llave en el hotel principal Bella Venecia y caminar 7 minutos con el anfitrión; para mi habitación no había ascensor y muchas escaleras, la habitación para 4 personas y baño amplio ✅
El estilo del edificio es bonito
Nota: una almohada tenía cabellos
En los pasillos de abajo ⬇️ hay ratones muy grandes pero si tienen trampas
- India (4/5): - Room very small and run down. Does not look like images. Got woken up in the night by loud noises from street and other room. Window view of a wall. Location was fine, but essentially everywhere in Venice is walking distance. Expensive for the low quality of room. Service was very nice and walked us to the hotel.
- John (8/5): Very good -
- gizem (8/5): - The location is convenient, and you will love the building. You will also have a special area to get closer to the water. Don’t forget to call the phone number provided in your booking details. You will need to check in at another hotel, where someone will guide you to your room. Everything is lovely!
