Bed and Breakfast Al Campaniel - Venice

9.9

This was our fortieth wedding anniversary and we wanted to explore Venice for a couple of days before taking a 7 night cruise from Venice. The Bed and Breakfast Al Campaniel was very conveniently situated (near to the vaporetto stop San Toma and the traghetto). It was easy to walk to anywhere and to find again on return. The bed was comfortable and the ensuite was modern and clean. Breakfast was plentiful and well presented. Marco was very helpful and competent. We would stay here again and recommend it unreservedly.

9.4

We stayed in this B&B during a short trip to Venice for our 10th wedding anniversary. We walked from Piazzale Roma, roamed for a bit, then once we figured out where we were, Al Campaniel was not too difficult to find. Marco met us on arrival, and due to our very shaky Italian, it was very reassuring that he spoke fluent English. Very simple, clean room with en-suite bathroom, in a great central location, with good rates in comparison to other establishments in central Venice. Marco ensures a personal service, even offering to go with us to ACTV office when we had a query with our pre-booked transport ticket. He will even meet you at the waterbus if you call him on arrival in Venice. Thanks Marco and we will certainly book again for our next trip.

The B and B was excellent, Marco was very welcoming and made our stay very enjoyable. We were close to everything we could want, water bus,eateries, shops, sights etc etc. Extremely pleased with our accomodation and would recommend to anyone :)We had a twin bed room with aircon and private bathroom, it also had a small table and chairs near the window.

10

Booked this B&B having read the very good reviews and we weren't disappointed. It does exactly what it says on the tin and more. Location wise it was perfect, exactly 2 mins from the vaporetta stop and a 10 min stroll from the Rialto bridge. We got a double room with private shower which was very spacious and it was spotless. Normally the Italians have a coffee and pastry for breakfast but not here ! We were offered cereal or muesli with yogurt to start along with orange juice, then fresh bread with ham and cheese and finished off with croissants and coffee. We were very pleasantly surprised as this really set us up for the day. Both Marco and Jacquelin are very welcoming and friendly and can't do enough for you. The day we were leaving, our flight wasn't leaving until 9pm but Marco let us store our cases at the B&B and gave us a key to collect them when we were ready. This was a real bonus and invaluable as Venice is not the place to be dragging cases around ! I cannot recommend this B&b more highly and should i return to Venice, i will book again without hesitation.

Molto spaziose le camere, bello l'arredamento, eccellente la pulizia. La colazione è abbondante. Sicuramento tornerò in questo B&B.

9.5

Very nice, small and comfortable hotel, tastefully furnished, with real home atmosphere. Easy to find (important for Venice!). The superior room is spacious, with a "tea corner" and with bathroom accessed directly from the room. Abundant and varied breakfast is served in the breakfast-room (even with a terrace), on the 3th floor. Marco is extremely friendly and helpful. Next time we'll be sure to stay in the same hotel! The lack of TV and elevator does not matter for us.

10

everything was perfect at al camppaniel, every mornung we were looking foreward to the rich breakfast with bred, jam, honey, nutella, joghurt, müsli and a lot of different bred, more than we could eat. as we were in venice at january,when we came back from our tours through venice, we loved to warm up in the wonderful shower in our new and clean bathroom. the room had a little fridge inside, and also a kettle, tea and instant coffee. when we checked out, we could leave some stuff in the guesthouse until our traindeparture and got a own key to pick our things up. nice surrounding, quiet area and a vaporettostation just around the corner. rooms in venice are always expensive, but for that we found the price quite okay and we were very satisfied!!! as we dont know the other rooms, we cant say anything for a familystay, but just ask for it. we will come back!

9.3

We had a great stay. Marco the host did a great job attending to our needs and gave us everything we needed to have a enjoyable stay. He gave us breakfast and snacks in our room when we had to leave early. Thanks Marco!

9.1

Estaba atendido personalmente por el dueño y dicha atencion fue excelente, muy tranquilo el lugar, bien ubicado, excelente desayuno y lo unico que se podria mejorar es que para llegar al lugar seguimos los consejos de la pagina y se puede llegar perfectamente sin tomar el vaporeto (6 euros por persona) como hicimos al regreso, solo adicionando un mapita con el recorrido desde la bajada del micro azul. Gracias.

9.1

It was perfect!

9.9

The was by far the best B&B we have ever stayed at. Our expectations were far exceeded! Our room was very clean and spacious and the location was perfect. Marco was a gracious host and went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of - he even prepared our breakfast very early when we had an early train to catch. I highly recommend this property and we hope to be back one day! Many thanks Marco!

9.9

Marcos was great. The room and bathroom were so clean, even my wife was pleased. The breakfast was a bit meager compared to what we are used to (no meat or cheese, just bread, cereal and beverage), but we were very pleased with the value and location, and would both happily recommend it as well as stay there again.

10

Best B&B I ever stayed in! -expectations were high after reading the feedback received at venere.com and they were more than met! Wonderful quiet location 2 mins from St. Toma water-bus station which means you can reach everything easily. Room was bigger than expected, extremely neat, clean and cosy, including refrigerator and coffe+tea making facilities. Temperature was nice (we visited in mid November), breakfast was delicious and available as late as 10:30. Marco was a wonderful host and we couldn't be happier with our stay. Thanks Marco, from 2 happy Danes.

8.4

I was on holiday with a friend in Venice, and Al Campaniel was a perfect place we could have found in terms of price and location. Very well located, rooms and bathrooms are very clean. Marco, the owner, is extremely helpful and kind and makes you feel at home. In fact he went out of his way to help us in carrying heavy luggage, giving us train and vaporetto timings, and even though we were leaving in the morning before breakfast he left the breakfast tray in our room the previous evening. Only thing is that the bathrooms are small, but even then very clean! Strongly recommended!

9.9

We had a wonderful stay at Al Campaniel in December 05. Marco is great, and the rooms were very adequate. Mattress could have been more comfortable, but was not a big issue. The room was very quiet, and we did not miss the TV at all! The location is great, although we had some toruble finding the hotel the first day we arrived in Venice. Breakfast was good. Great value for price. We would definitely stay there again.Thanks,Marco.

10

totalmente recomendable tanto por su situación, al lado de la parada de San Tomá del vaporetto nº1, a 10 minutos a pie de Santa Lucía y de Piazzale Roma, como por el hotel en si que está fenomenal.El personal muy amable.

10

This was one of the best stays of our entire 2 month trip! Marco was extremely courteous and helpful. The rooms were immaculate, as were the bathrooms. Rooms come with coffee maker, but there is really no need for it since the breakfast is so fulfilling. The location is very central, just a short walk to both San Marco and Rialto, but far enough away to experience some real Venetian life without the hoards of tourists. Will DEFINITELY stay at Al Campaniel when we return to Venice! Thanks, Marco!

9.6

Excellent value for money. Location and service are great. Would definitely recommend.

9.1

Nous sommes venu à Venise en Juillet pour 4 jours de Paris. L'accueil a été très sympatique et Marco le patron qui parle très bien Français nous a donné des renseignements utiles. "Al Campaniel" est situé entre les quartiers "San Polo" et "Dorsoduro", les plus intéressant à notre opinion et à dix minutes (via Vaporetto) du quartier "San Marco", très fréquenté.. L'établissement est très bien entretenu (ménage refait la veille de notre départ) et notre chambre comprenait une SdB, la climatisation et un Frigo, ce qui est très apréciable en Juillet! Un télé avec le cable aurait été appéciable mais c'est bien le seul reproche que l'on pourrait faire.. Le petit déjeuner etait parfait avec croissants, pain, beurre, café, thé .. Une adresse à retenir ..! ENG: We have been in "Al Campaniel" for 4 days and we have been welcomed kindly with Marco the boss (He speaks English too). The room (with a private bathroom) was clean (cleaning was performed the day before our departure) and big enough with air conditionning and a fridge. A cable TV would have been appreciated. "Al Campaniel" is very well located between the "Dursoduro" and "San Polo" area, the most interesting ones according to us, and ten minutes far from the crowded "San Marco" area through Vaporetto. The breakfast was great, especially, for the Frenchies we are, with Tea, Coffee, Croissants, bread.. An Address we would recommand..!

9.8

We absolutely loved this B&B. It was quaint and charming but most especially the hospitality was tremendous. We highly recommend it!

9.8

We enjoyed are stay, the room was just what we wanted, the location was great, just a minuit ore two to the water bus and the service was great.

9.6

Marco, the proprieter was great! He was helpful in finding out information for us (he didn't know some info about Venetian specifics because he's a Roman). The breakfast was good- toast, cereal, pastries, coffee, tea, juice. We did have a difficult time finding the hotel because there was a transportation strike so no vaporettos! However, it is really close to the San Toma stop if the boats were running. Marco had sent us an email with directions either by walking or boat, but we were already on the road and didn't check our email.

9.9

B&B que je recommande vraiment! Si je retourne à Venise, c'est à cette adresse que je chercherais à loger. Bien situé. Personnel très disponible et agréable. Avantage d'avoir 2 trousseaux de clés. Bouilloir dans les chambres... GENIAL!

9.9

If I go back to Venice, I would stay in Al Campaniel again in a heart-beat. Awesome place and great personal service. Right next(about 30 feet)to S.Tomá Vaporetto and Traghetto.

10

We stayed all over Italy and Al Campaniel was our absolute favorite! We have already recommended it to friends and family traveling to Italy this year. Despite what others wrote we found it very easy to find. Simply take the #1 or #82 vaporetto, get off at S. Toma, walk straight until it dead ends (a short distance), and it's the 3rd door on your left. Very easy! Our room was fantastic! The bed was the most comfortable we slept in on our entire trip! It also has the bonus feature of a/c. Our bathroom was spacious and extremely clean. Marco has created a wonderfully warm environment. Contrary to what others wrote we loved the breakfast. It was warm croissants and sorted breads w/ jams, cereal or yogurt, juice, & tea or coffee. Marco serves your breakfasts which gives you a great opportunity to talk with him. He has such a warm and generous personality. He made us feel so welcome, even going above and beyond by booking our train tickets to Rome on-line for us so we wouldn't have to worry with them. Marco treats his guests like friends who have come to visit. I cannot say enough positive things about our stay. I would recommend this place to anyone. We can't wait to get back their ourselves!

9.4

It is was a good choice! Perfect place to stay in Venice. Clean, friendly, 1 minute to vaporetto station, 10 minutes to Rialto Bridge.

9.9

My sister and I enjoyed a delightful stay at Al Campaniel. The room and its accompanying bathroom were lovely and very clean, in addition to being exceptionally well priced. Marco is very nice and most helpful. We would certainly stay at Al Campaniel again should we return to Venice.

9.2

We got a free upgrade to a suite. Very friendly owner and perfect location to many places. I would recommend this any budget traveler.

10

We spent two nights in Venice and enjoyed the small hotel very much. The location is very close to Canale Grande, less than 2 min. walking. Super clean, super nice, very good. Marco is a really nice guy taking care of the guests. Our return flight left at night and we were able to leave our luggage there till late afternoon. Once we come back to Venice we will stay there again ! Thanks again, Marco .

8.1

Good location. Pretty room, clean and spacious with a fridge & comfortable bed. Odd breakfast; an assortment of packaged cakes and tea & coffee in the room. Complimentary champagne a nice touch.

8.3

Nice sutuated near the grand cannel

9.8

Great Place, right in the midle of Venice and 10 m walking from the bus station. The staff really halpfull and kind!

9.9

Highly recommended!!!

9.6

Marcel was a very gracious host, and I thank him for his charm and flexibility.

9.4

A real nice place, very conveniently located near one of the Vaporettostops on the Canal Grande. Our room was spotless and (thanks to a lucky free upgrade) surely worth the rate we paid. Well worth a recommendation!

9.6

Clean, efficient and friendly. Be prepared for the pre-packed breakfast! Excellent location and value for money. Would certainly recommend to friends. Thank you Marco.

9.4

Al campaniel is a wonderfully authentic Italian B&B. My mother and I loved it! The proprietor was very pleasant and went out of his way to help us with our questions. The room was big enough for two people, immaculate, and had a large, comfortable bed. The location was convenient and allowed easy access to things we wanted to do, yet was in a quiet location, off the beaten track. I would stay here again in an instant, in fact, I hope to with my family next year!

8.6

Very nice small hotel in the center of Venice. Very clean, friendly welcome. For the location in the center and the service provided, the price is ok.

10

Marco was a gracious host. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to stay.

9.5

The room we had was at the ground floor, bathroom in the opposite site of the corridor. The whole place is clean and tidy, it recalls in some way a french home. The owner is a gentleman in the classic sense. We suggest this place as one of the most interesting in Venice as to relationship price/quality.

9.7

As with most places in Venice, it was hard to locate, however it was well worth the search. Clean and reasonably priced for Venice. Well located for exploring Venice. The owner Marco is very helpful and pleasant. Our only complaint is that the room is also available to smokers so there is a lingering smell of smoke in the room. We would stay there again and would recommend to others.

8.5

We were really glad to stay over. We just thought the breakfast was going to be like in the english bed and breakfasts. But that wasn't the Hotel's fault, we just didn't see it on the web. Otherwise everything was perfect.

8.1

BRILLIANT BREAKFAST SERVICE TO IMPROVE

9.7

We want to have a little friendly hotel or pension - and we got it! We don't need Lobby or restaurant or... We need a clean room/bed and an clean bathroom. It was very clean and the man at the receptions desk was very nice and helpfull. If we come back to venice, we will stay in this fine pension!

9.9

My parents (75 and 70 year old) enjoyed it very much. The owners were very kind an helpfull. Everything was o.k. only: Breakfast isn't as komfortable as in Germany. The sign in front of the guesthouse is a little bit small therefore you shot prepare to find it.

9.8

This is a great little hotel. Marco and Gloria went above and beyond the call of duty helping navigate Venice which can be tricky to say the least. I felt safe and welcomed by our hosts and would not hesitate to book it again!

9.1

I am writing on behalf of friends for which I booked (I went to another hotel, beacuse of rooms availability). Location is excellent. RIght beside the Canal Grande, a couple of stops from San Marco and Rialto, very close to ferry stop. Very close to the small but lovely San Tomè square. Indications for location are v. good. Te lady/owner welcomed us at arrival and was very kind in providing us the keys ontime and flexible on timing of arrival/departure and luggages holding. Rooms (which I visited) were very clean and excellent for the price (59 Euros a double during Christams holidays!). Well and newly furnitured. My friends told me the bathroom was clean. Breakfast was available - maybe a problem to make coffee or tea with local tap water - but what do you expect? With the same price in London you can't even sleep on the broadwalk ;-). Room was silent, as it faced the internal court. In general they were very satisfied! Thanks to the owner hospitality! I strongly suggest it: you save money, have a good and comfortable room and you can spend the money in better ways visiting Venice.

10

begiining of december: excellent place, quiet, warm and super clean with breakfast for 65€...let's go again :o)

9.9

Lovely place to stay. Good value, clean, and really helpful people. Perfect location, and really easy to find. Highly recommended!

8.9

Absolutly recommendable

8.2

The only problems were the lack of TV and another client knocking on the door at 1am thinking perhaps that they should have gotten our room.

9.8

Excellent B&B! We were very happy with the location and quality of room and facilities. Great service. Fantastic value for Venice. Would definitely recommend to others.

9.0

We had a very nice stay in Venice at Al Campaniel. Marco is a wonderful host and always available to help. The B&B is in a very good, centralized location. Even though we knew when we made the reservation, it's a shame that there is no common area, especially since the room is not too spacious. We had a full day of rain, it would have been great to have a place to go to to relax (apart from a Café or a restaurant). Also, only one very bad note, don't count on the breakfast. It is not fresh and only consist in industrial wrapped stuff. Nothing fresh. That too wasn't a surprise, but I say it anyway... But we a had very good nights of sleep and bed is really comfortable.

9.5

When we finally found Al Campniel, it was lovely. I was the cleanest place we stayed in Italy and had a very good (in room) breakfast. The owner went out of his way to get uf ferry times, maps, and restaurants. He was great! Once you get the knack of direction in Venice, the location is no problem whatsoever. Very close to a vaporetto stop. I did, however, wander around for a half hour trying to find it the first time.

9.1

Very surprised to find it nicer than we thought it would be. Very nice staff, helpful, and professional.

9.6

The owners are very helpful and friendly. The room was not spacious, but very neat and clean. The bathroom was next to the room and also very clean. The location is easy to find, and you will not need more than 2 minutes to reach it from the Vaporetto-station San Toma. The lack of air-conditioning in the room is alleviated by a ventilator during hot summer days. No breakfast is served. I can recommend to choose "Al Campaniel".

10

the room is unexpectedly beautiful. Marco is very accomodating. i definitely would recommend it to my friends.

7.7

Our two day stay in Venice at Al Campaniel was very enjoyable. When we arrived, we were greeted by Marco who showed us our room and gave us the necessary information to get around. The room was very clean and spacious. The location is perfect since it is not on a high traffic street. This is great if you don't want to be awaken by masses of tourists walking the streets. The walk from the train station only took 10-15 minutes so it's perfect for those who have light luggage. The breakfact was awful for a bed and breakfast but that was our only real complaint and it wasn't that big of a deal for us who don't eat a big breakfast anyway. We would definately stay at Al Campaniel on our next trip to Venice.

10

Fabulous. Much more than we could have hoped for. Wonderful location, friendly welcome, excellent room. Mario went out of his way to help us. Excellent service. Made our first trip to Venice very special. Definitely highly recommended. Thank you Mario. Marie and Paul.

9.4

I had read other reviews prior to going to I was aware to expect only a few biscuits, croissants etc as breakfast. However given that pastries seem to be the breakfast of choice of Venecians - I don't feel that this was inappropriate. The room was spotlessly clean (which was very refreshing after having stayed in not-so-good accomodation in Rome) and the air-conditioning was excellent. I thought the location was good too - about 10 mins to Rialto (through lots of quaint alleys / streets) and 20 to San Marco. Excellent value for money. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this accomodation.

5.4

The Breakfast is not good

9.5

Very nice and helpful owner/staff. Room we stayed at was small but very clean and cheerful, as was the shared bathroom. Can get a little hot in summerh but ceiling fan is available. Very close walk to San Toma water taxi/bus stop. Overall great stay for the price.

9.9

In a city where you pay a premium for low quality, this place is a JEWEL. The host speaks very good English and is more patient and kind than any hotel I've visited in Venice. A visitor looking for a clean, very reasonably priced room and who is satisfied without a lobby, TV or 24-hour staff will find Al Campaniel the perfect place to stay.

6.6

Marco was very accommodating. Directions to Campanile were excellent. Room was clean but cramped. Location was outstanding. Breakfast component was misleading to us and we were disappointed at the lack of common area and absolutely chagrined that no TV was available in the establishment.

9.6

This is an excellent value just up from the bus on the grand canal. Very nice management—very helpful. Definitely recommend.

9.5

The value offered by this place (at least in low season) is amazing. I would have expected to pay much, much more for the quality of the rooms and the situation. The owner was less than warm in his manner but he spoke excellent English.

9.6

We enjoyed our stay at Al Campaniel. The room was lovely and much more modern than we had anticipated. There is some noise based on the fact that we overlooked the street but could block it out by closing the windows. I would stay here again!

8.9

High quality accommodation with a superb location at a low price. Tastefully furnished, clean and spacious guest room with private w/c and shower across the hall. Occasional slight odour from the drains outside after a day of having the window open but these were quickly dispelled by the ceiling fan. Extremely quiet despite being 1 minute from vaporetto stop. Very close to shops, restaurants and sites. A few cakes and biscuits with kettle for breakfast, no breakfast room or sitting room. Host didn't seem very friendly, though and could have been more welcoming. He didn't offer info on nearby sites or shopping and wasn't chatty like you expect at a British B&B. The host spoke superb English. Still we would stay again and definitely recommend this to others.

10

thanks to Marco for his kindness

9.7

We really enjoyed our stay at Al Campaniel. It has a great location on a quiet street, very close to a vaporetto stop. The proprietor spoke excellent English and was able to make restaurant recommendations. We'll definately recommend Al Campaniel to friends traveling to Venice.

8.2

Master is very heartful. A room and shower room are based on white walls,small but pretty. It is very convinence for taking waterbus: only 2 minites walk. A restaurant near Al campaniel guest house has a reasonable menu and good taste.
