Bed and Breakfast Barababao - Venice

9.1

This was a great little B&B for the price. Excellent location, very nice room. Noisy if you want the window open and minimal breakfast, but I would happily stay here again.

9.6

Hosts run the restaurant on the ground floor too. We stopped by the night before we were leaving to see about an early checkout and they put together a breakfast for us to take. Very gracious hosts. Thank you!

8.8

The room was very nice.

6.8

It was clean and it was Venice in Oct. The band under the window and loud party was Venice. What can you say. Over all it was very nice accommadodations and the owners son was very plesent to deal with. I would stay there again.

8.8

Clean room, good breakfast, nice staff, fine location near realto bridge where water bus stops and you can ride it to train station or piazza San Marco. A little pricey but not bad for an expensive citylike Venice

9.8

Eat at the restaurant - the food's great. The same owners also run La Profeta on the calle Lunga s. Barnaba, which is also excellent. Would certainly stay here again.

9.2

E' un posto semplice ma funzionale a cui appoggiarsi per visitare Venezia perchè si trova nel centro della città, quasi vicino a tutto.

9.7

It was a very pleasant stay, the staff are friendly and the rooms clean. The only thing we would try differently is to have supper at the B&B, I am not sure why we didn't this time. To busy experiencing the sights and sounds of Venezia. We will go back and stay there again.

8.5

A great room and location. Staff were friendly and helpful, understanding and speaking English well.

L'équipe du Barababao est jeune, dynamique et sympa. Le chambres semblent comme neuves (nous avons eu la n°3 au premier étage : c'est exactement comme sur les photos). Nous avons apprécié la literie également. Côté bruit, le double vitrage isole bien la chambre : de toute façon, il n'y a plus guère de bruit dans le quartier à partir de 22h). Le petit déjeuner, est copieux et permet de tenir jusque 14/15h sans pb (le temps passe vite à Venise, et tout ferme à 17h). Autre point fort du B&B : il est situé juste à côté du pont du Rialto, lieu fléché partout dans Venise ! donc, pas possible de se perdre. Nous avons été globalement très satisfaits de ce B&B, et l'avons recommandé à nos amis: nous aimerions avoir plus souvent une prestation de ce rapport qualité prix en France...

9.2

I booked B&B Barababao based on the reviews of previous guests on the Internet and was not disappointed! The B&B is in an excellent location, the staff is friendly, the room was quaint and was cleaned daily and breakfast was delicious (we brought our own fruit). We would stay at B&B Barababao in future and recommend it to any of our family and friends visiting Venice.

8.3

My room was exactly as portrayed in one of the photos on the web site. So full marks for that as sometimes hotel rooms are nothing like what is portrayed. Unfortunately during my 3 night stay the attached restaurant was closed except for breakfasts and the person there spoke basic English only. There were plenty of other good restaurants in the vicinity so no real problem. Overall a good size room and bathroom in an excellent location. Some noise from the nearby restaurants but all finished by about 10.30pm and not that audible with the windows closed and the air conditioning on. I would happily stay there again.

8.6

The position of the hotel is very good. It is very near the Rialto Bridge. The breakfast was very good. The hotel has a restaurante I think of a high quality. The owner was very kind and all the staff. There are a lot of moscitos in the night but every room has a device with oil against moskitos. In the night it is noisy but maximum till 23.00. So, it wasn t too hard like some wrote before. All in all I can recommend the hotel Barabao.

8.7

Exactamente como aparece en la pagina web. Muy bien localizado, en pleno centro. Habitación muy amplia, cómoda y limpia. Desayuno abundante. Si alguna vez vuelvo a Venecia volveré a este hotel.

7.5

Acceuil sympatique et efficace Chambre très propre avec chauffage et clim, un peu petite pour trois

6.8

The Barababao B&B is on top of the Barababao Restaurant. It is located in the heart of Venice about a 10 min. walking distance to the San Marcos Piazza. The location is great, but the b&b was a disappointment compared to other B&B's that we had experience elsewhere in Italy. Also, because the restaurant waiters are your hosts they do not take the time to give you a proper welcome, and/or provide you with maps of the city like all the other B&Bs did. Rather they hand you the keys and ask you to check-in later when they are not too busy. The rooms have NO air conditioning and because there is a restaurant below it is extremely noisy all night long, and the mosquitos are out of control. My 2 year old daughter woke up with bites all over her face. We happened to go to Venize in April so it was not too hot, but it would have been definetely horrendous during the summer. There is also no hair dryer, but rather a vacumm-style dryer (that does not dry) so bring your own.

9.4

Molto gentili i propietari, stanza pulita e bagni spaziosi, unica pecca la prima notte c'era gente sotto la finestra che faceva chiasso fino alle 2 di mattina..(penso che da quando non si puo' piu' fumare nei locali la gente esce fuori!) Comunque consiglio il Barababao anche per la cena per aprofittare del 10% di sconto...

9.5

Great little B&B. They provide breakfast in the restaurant and the rooms were very nice. Bathrooms are modern and include everything you could want.

9.5

Buone camere, ottimo ristorante. Da Provare!

9.0

A 5 minuti dal ponte di Rialto, il Barbabao ha delle camere di media grandezza in condizioni perfette, direi rifatte da poco. Il prezzo e' piu' che accettabile (in bassa stagione, almeno). Possibilita' di mangiare nel relativo ristorante con uno sconto, non abbiamo provato ma ce ne hanno parlato molto bene.

8.7

It is a small property in the centre of Venice. The rooms are clean and nice, with your private bath. The service is very kind. We consider it the rigth election for those who look for a reasonable price and an excellent situation.

8.6

Cannot remember now but somewhere on map when indicated left was in fact right ! Not big deal! Really well located, really quiet, already recommended to friends!

7.5

Our room over looked a public access courtyard with restaurants. Consequently, it was very noisy at night whilst people were eating and socialising in the outside areas. But this would not stop me from staying there again. All part of the Venice experience.

10

My father and I travelled around Italy for a week and Venice was our favourite place. B&B Barababao was an excellent place to stay, rooms were very comfortable and the location is superb - walking distance to everything. The food & wine in the restaurant was also fantastic. We highly recommend this place!

10

We were very pleased by the location, the staff, and the quality of the rooms. Although some may find the evening sound from the "street" and restaurants below and outside the rooms a little disturbing, to us it just added to the atmosphere. Eventually, all quieted down and we enjoyed a contented sleep as Barababao is located in a relatively quiet section of Venice even though it is relatively near the Grande Canal. All staff members, who worked in the restaurant and came in to clean the rooms daily, were most amiable and helpful. We would stay again in an instance. In fact, Barababao would be one of the reasons for us to return to Venice.

9.1

great location. We were in the hub of things. San Marco square was only a 10 minute walk. Good for young adults to retirees. Great restaurant next doorl

8.9

Found the price and location fantastic and the staff extremely helpful and friendly. Would go back.

8.8

The directions to the hotel need to be re-written by someone who understands english. For example we were told to "turn right ON the bridge" instead of 'AT' the bridge. We thought that we had to go over the bridge and lugged our luggage up and down the steps only to have to do it again when we realised our mistake. We had a very pleasant stay at the hotel which is perfectly situated for adventuring through laneways and along the canal. Simone was an excellent host. The only down side was the noise from an adjoining restaurant kept us awake one night.

10

We went for vacation. It's a great place to stay. Super price for Venice. Just one minute to Rialto. 5 minutes to St Mark's square. If i go to Venice again, the place where i will stay is ready!

4.8

The double room was very small although the bathroom was an adequate size. There were no extra offerings in the room and one would not stay at this hotel if relaxing in the room was a requirement. The breakfast was typical italian breakfast although the quantity of the food offered and the service (in the restaurant) for breakfast was very nice.

10

Immaculate, friendly, comfortable, quiet, convenient, reasonably priced- this place has it all! We stayed here about 5 months ago and I fell in love with the place. Our room was clean, the bathroom was spacious (shower only), it was on the rear side of the building overlooking a courtyard, so away from the busy street that the B & B is off. The staff is friendly, speak some English, but the main person who took care of us for check-in, check-out and breakfast both days speaks English well. It is located close to the Rialto Bridge vaporetto stop, right off a street heavy with pedestrian traffic- but as soon as you turn off that street into the courtyard out front, it is amazingly quiet. Breakfast was also good, with fresh cornetti pastry and coffee, and yogurt on request (there may have been more served, I don't recall anymore, I just know it was mostly carbs, but it was enough, and nice). Our room did overlook a rear courtyard which contains 2 restaurants, neither of which we ate at during our stay, but one of which is recommended in the Ric Steves guide. During the serving hours, with the windows (which were beautiful wood ones that opened in more ways than I can count) and shutters open, you can hear the diners and servers, but it's not a rowdy crowd. By about 10 pm, all is quiet. The B & B has a bar and restaurant attached to it. We ate there the first night and it was quite good. My boyfriend had the sea bass, I got to try a bite and it was one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten (I think I had pasta with bruscandoli, which are hop shoots that are a delicacy available sometimes in the Spring in Venezia) and it was good, but it paled in comparison to the sea bass. (We ate elsewhere on our second night and I ordered sea bass there, but it wasn't nearly as good as what my Sweetie had the evening before at Barababao.) I highly recommend the place and I would choose it again. I couldn't have been happier. OK, maybe if I had had a few more days, I

This was our first attempt at booking a B&B in Europe. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the B&B Barababao. It was much more spacious and modern than we had expected, as well as excewptionally clean. The staff was very courteous and very helpful. The restaurant on the ground floor and B&B above are family owned and very well run. Breakfast was in the restaurant and the best we had throughout our stay in Italy. Also, the location is excellent. You can walk to Piazza San Marco in less than ten minutes.

8.7

Our 2 nights at the Barababao were excellent. We found it ideally located for touring the major Venice attractions. Our room was very clean, the bathroom modernised, the staff helpfull and security good. Have no hesitation in recommending this B&B.

8.2

We liked staying here a lot, and have just returned. Is typical for Europe for location and price, but not what most Americans "expect" here. Tucked away on small Venice street, with shops and hotels and restaurants all around. Serviceable, clean, friendly with everything you need. Only 4-5 rooms on second floor over commercial area. Hallways and stairs going in off street a little dark and scary for some, but again, typical. We would stay there again for convenience and helpfullness. Great restaurants around there, great breakfasts.

7.9

Barababao is in a great location. It is 10 minutes from Piazza San Marco, 2 minutes from Rialto Bridge, shopping and restaurants all around (what place isn't, though). The corner room is large and clean, with 2 windows. They need to be kept shut at night because people occasionally walk by all hours of the night, speaking quite loudly. The bar/restaurant below was reasonable and good. It was a much better deal than any other place we ate in Venice.

9.6

Mappy showed hotel north of church, but it was south of church. Coming from Rialto vaporetta stop, take a right at chapel and you will see Barababao to the right on the next corner. We were very happy with room and attached bathroom (shower, sink, toilet, and hose-type hairdryer). The room contained a safe and several places to store and hang clothes. The breakfast was served between 8:30am and 10am in their restaurant and included your choice of coffee drinks, orange juice, yogurt, assortment of breads, jams, nutella, and honey. Full lunch and dinner service is offered daily in the restaurant that contains a bar. There were so amny other choices in the area we just ate breakfast there. About a 5-10 minute walk to St. Mark's Plaza and 1-2 minute walk to Rialto bridge. They let us keep our bags in a locked room after check-out until we picked them up later in the day. Compared to other prices in Venice, this was a great deal and a nice location.

8.6

Location is very good, very close to Rialto Bridge,half-way between train station and "Piazza S.Marco". Rooms are nice and confortable, but the bathroom is very narrow, essenial, but however clean and private. Breakfast is quite abundant (Italian style), you can find in the restaurant a table already prepared for you with bread, jam, juice and biscuits and you can ask for a coffe or cappuccino

9.9

Thanks to Venere.com our 9-day stay in Italy was, except one accomodation (B&B Butterfly),very big surprise(we travel a lot). Not only the way we've booked all our stays, also the confirmations, low prices and the reality was the same as showed on the web pics. B&B Barabao is part of a restaurant, we unfortunately didn't have time to try, the menu sounded very yummy, but staff is competent and friendly, breakfast was delicious and it'll be pleasure to return there again. It's near Ponte di Rialto, easy acces everywhere and still quiet.

9.0

Location is very good, near the Rialto Bridge but then tucked away in a corner so it is quiet enough to have a good sleep. Of course there is no view of the river but you can't expect that much with this price. B&B was very accommodating with our early check-in. Room was spacious and VERY clean, with a/c and tv. No lifts so you may ask for help with heavy luggages. Breakfast was good enough with very good coffee. It may be a bit difficult to find because I find the directions given a bit confusing, we ended up using GPS to find the B&B. However, Venice in general is easy to get lost with the its maze of small streets. The directions given by the website may need to be revised.

8.8

Wonderful memory staying at this hotel with my wife. The room is very clean, spacious than any other hotels we stayed in Europe (Rome's hotels are terrible). Far from train station but very convenient to the main attractions. The accordion player under your window is a little bit annoying but closed the window you can hear nothing. Great city to travel, excellent hotel to stay. Strongly recommend.

9.9

Simome is very pleasent!

9.9

This is a lovely Bed and Breakfast. I stayed here with my boyfriend and my father was in a second room. The staff is so kind and accommodating and the food and drink in teh bar downstairs are second to none. The breakfast was also better than you would get in most bed and breakfasts, especially in Venice. For the hot time of year, their air conditioning saved our lives! It was like walking into an ice box when it was 100 degrees farenheit and humid outside! Overall, fabulous place to stay and would reccommend it to anyone planning on staying in Venice!

9.6

Breakfest would be better.

10

Wow! I had an awesome time in Venice. The B&B is centrally located so easy to find and to get around. Many great restaurants and shopping in the neighborhood. The room was large, quiet (except the charming "live" music playing in the restaurant at dinnertime, which I opened my very italian windows to let in). Simone went above and beyond the call of duty. Go! Get "lost" in Venice! Can't wait to go back :)

9.0

Very clean B&B. Location is adequate as the Rialto Bridge is just a few blocks away. Will definitely come back to this B&B if returning to Venice.

9.0

Great B&B to stay in. The location is excellent - 3 minutes from Rialto Bridge and 7 minutes from St. Mark's Square. The rooms are cosy, very clean and cute. The private Bathroom is very clean too. The breakfast includes Milk, Coffee, Yogurt, Bread, several jams and brioches. The price is a bit high but for Venice it's more than adequate. Quality VS Price is excellent. Loved it.

9.6

Location is very central to the shopping area-Coin,very close to Rialto bridge and walking distance to St.Mark's Square. Very nice and clean place to stay. The breakfast is very simple with just bread/croissant and butter/jelly and coffee or juice. At 150 euros/night,quite expensive but that's Venice where everything seems to be expensive anyway.The owners-father and sons were very accommodating.

8.6

Sitio muy recomendable, muy centrico, al lado del puente Rialto y a 10 min. de la plaza de San Marcos. El personal muy amable y es de destacar el restaurante que tiene el propio B&B, cenamos allí una noche y estaba exquisito. Por poner alguna pega lo único que diría es que la habitación que nos tocó era algo pequeña, aunque suficiente. Si volvieramos a Venecia seguramente repetiríamos.

8.5

The staff were brilliant, due to plane problems we didn't arrive until after 2am and they helped us get the night vaporetto, welcomed us and were altogether wonderfully helpful and friendly. Breakfast was a bit of a disappointment.. all that wonderful fruit and other venitian food and we got a single criossant and a coffee - you could do better than that for 130EU per night!

8.3

We arrived in Venice one day late due to a general train strike. Walter worked with Venere to change the reservation and charge only one night. He was very nice, friendly and knowledgable. The location is fantastic and the restaurant downstairs is quite good. The rooms are very simple and spare, but a good deal given the location.

8.0

It´s regrettable that one cann´t lock the room from inside. You always have to use the key.

9.7

We had an excellent stay here and the restaurant below had excellent food. The directions provided made it easy to find in the maze of Venice.

9.2

We reacted very well and during our stay, all staff has been very attentive including the excellent food restaurant and detailed discount on dinners / lunches for being accommodated. The room very comfortable and calm and very good location for tourist routes. Sincerely recommend it.

8.9

Near to the Rialto Bridge and vaporetto station. Very nice B&B, remodelled to little time. Very nice staff.

8.8

An excellent, clean and relatively small bed & brekfast right in the centre of Venice, perfect for a few days dedicated to visiting the city. Friendly staff. Worth coming back.

8.0

Just a little off the well beaten tracks of Venice, but quite central and near to the Rialto Bridge and a short walk to St. Mark's Sq. Only five minute walk with bags from the Rialto stop for the A/P waterbus and I'm elderly. The breakfasts were more than adequate and the staff very helpful, and the off-high-traffic area makes it quiet. The rooms are just a little Sparten, and no languages other than Italian on the TV, but always kept spotless. The restaurant downstairs serves a very good variety and quality of local/tourist food and also attracts a Venezian clientelle. I will return here and this was my third visit to Venice but first at Barababao. The staff all went out of their way to be helpful, one even brought his own laptop in for me to use!

10

The best place we stayed at in Italy!! Could not have wished for anything better! Everything was great, thank you for amazing days in Venice! would like to come back and reccommend to all!

8.1

It was nice experience in Venice. Service, breakfast, welcoming, location were good.

9.7

This was a great place to stay, located very close to the Rialto Bridge, it was a good base location for our Venice area excursions. The staff were the best we had in Italy, always willing to help, and great to talk to. The rooms were very clean, and looked like they had been recently remodeled. This is where I will stay on my next visit to Venice.

7.4

The B&B is placed in a very good area, just close to the Rialto, and still, it is quiet since it is in a small street. Maybe not very easy to find but it is due to the fact that Venezia is full of very small streets and is a kind of maze so everything is a bit difficult to find. However, I was very satisfied by this room. It is a bit expensive for one night but less expensive than in other hotels or places. A common price for Venezia. The breakfast is good. A very good choice. You take the keys in a restaurant where you are welcomed in a very friendly and efficacious way. There is no problem if you want to leave your bags there if you arrive before check in time or if you want to leave it there after check out time. That enabled us not to pay for luggage service at the train station and to spend some time wandering without having to take our bags with us.

6.5

We stay in Venice for 5 days We are regular visitors and guess of B&B in many contries. B&B Barababao could be very nice but it is VERY VERY noisy due to terrasse of 2 restaurants near Barababao;what a pity .

9.6

We stayed only one night in Venice, in that charming bed and breakfast, located right next to the Rialto Bridge. The prices the hotel is practicing are REALLY reasonnable compared to prices in overall in Venice. Great place to stay!

9.9

We stayed in Venice for three days. The B&B was formidable, a real pleasure to meet them all and a perfect, clean and comfortable room. Barabao is in the center of everywhere! I will recommended it to everybody that goes to Venice! Thanks for the service provided!

10

This was a great place to stay. It was a bit harder to find, but that is the case with everything in Venice. Very courteous staff and we were upgraded to have our own private bathroom. It's located in a great area of town not from from San Marco and with many restaurants and shops nearby.

9.9

The room was very pleasant, clean, and very well located in Venezia. The employees were very friendly and the breakfast in the restaurant was very good and quiet. We enjoyed our two days very much.

8.4

The hotel was nicely located in the heart of Venice and it is above a restaurant with the same name (common ownership). Room was clean and newly remodeled with a queen size bed and a very nice bathroom which included a shower for two and bidet. Continental breakfast was served in the restaurant below. The facility provides the guests with a free wireless internet connection. The owners (father and his two sons) were very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend the hotel.

10

Brilliant service, brilliant staff, location superb, will go back again, recomend to all my friends and family. Very close to all tourist attractions
