Ca' Dogaressa - Venice

9.6

Clean, Great value for money, in a nice area and the staff were superb. Very handy for the train station. Breakfast on the Canal is great! The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. I felt I was in a small village instead of a big city.

9.1

Ca'Dogaressa was by far one of the best hotel experiences we've ever had. I've stayed in MUCH more expensive hotels all over the world and this was truly one of the best. This is a small and simple, family-owned and operated bed & breakfast with 5 or 6 rooms total. This is an incredible value in Venice for the price offered and overall an excellent hotel. Very good breakfast served outdoors canal-side in the morning, VERY attentive service, 24-hour reception and quiet, comfortable atmosphere. Well-situated, close to a convenient vaporetto boat stop. Beautifully decorated and comfortable spacious rooms, all with unique decor. Would definitely stay again.

Simply the best small hotel we have stayed in anywhere for that total experiance. It is fantastic to discover such a gem and in such a delightful quiet area of Venice. The breakfast by the canal is the romantic stuff of dreams. The service excellent and helpful. My wife and I also stayed here in 2004 and 2007, it is that much of a joy to return each time.

9.2

The hotel staff were especially helpful. We arrived early in the morning and were provided with some coffee and rolls. The staff let us keep our bags at the hotel that whole day. After we checked out, they still let us use the Internet. They were very helpful.

9.9

Located 10 minutes walk from the train station, 30 minutes walk from St Marks Square. The rooms were very impressive, clean. The owner was extremely helpful and courteous, breakfast outside overlooking the canal.

9.9

Wie bereits von den meisten Bewertern erwähnt, ist dieses Hotel sehr zu empfehlen. Die Mitarbeiter sind freundlich und hilfsbereit,das Zimmer zum Kanal war großzügig, sauber und ruhig. Die Lage hätte besser nicht sein können: zentral und doch etwas ab vom Touristentreiben. Das Beste war natürlich das Frühstück am Canale di Cannaregio.Insgesamt ist das Hotel ein Grund, wieder nach Venedig zu kommen!

9.0

Staff was fabulous! Construction made the room noisy, not the hotel's fault. Would have liked a shower head that was mountable on the wall above waist length. very pleased, though!

9.1

Ambiente acojedor, tranquilo, relajante, familiar.

9.6

Un hôtel au charme vénitien certain qui mérite tous les compliments qui figurent sur ce site : accueil chaleureux et disponible, possibilité de laisser les bagages, personnel attentionné sans être obséquieux, endroit calme et très joli, décoration "royale" sinon princière, douche chaude et très réconfortante par -4°C et surtout un prix très acceptable (80 euros) pour un hôtel de ce niveau. En plus, quand on arrive de la gare, c'est vraiment à 5-10 minutes maxi à pied !! Bref, une très bonne adresse, quoi !

9.6

A little off the tourist track but it does provide some quiet space. No lift so you need to carry bags up the stairs. Wonderfully clean and the front desk helpful with all requests. Very much worth the 2 minute walk to the typical tourist area. Excellent value.

9.1

This was our first time to stay in the hotel and it was absolutely gorgeous. Everybody who worked there was so friendly and helpful. The room was amazing; spacious, spotless and luxurious. Bathroom was immaculate and anything that had been used was replaced daily. The cleaning of the room took place whenever we were out, we weren't disturbed during the mornings which was great. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. We also got an incredible price for our stay. For us, it was the best thing in Venice.

9.7

The hotel personnel was very friendly, and seemed sincere in there wanting to create a nice stay for us. Daniele went beyond the call of duty while helping us recover our backpack which we left behind on public transport. After a couple weeks of working things out, he was able to send it to us, which had everything intact - except for the cheese, salami and tomatoes which we purchased on our last day in Venice, which was probably for the best. The hotel is in a quiet, 'typical Venice location, away from the touristy area which is basically around the corner - about a 10 minutes walk. We were very happy with our stay, and even after having stayed in a 5 star hotel during our last stay in Venice (during which we brought the kids); we would chose Ca' Dogaressa as our preferred Venice hotel.

8.4

The best hotel I have treid in venice.

9.3

The rooms are very clean and in a very good state of decoration. A few rooms look directly onto the canal but ours didn't. It is located in a very quiet area close to the historically important Jewish ghetto but is only a few minutes walk to the Grand Canal and fairly close to both the train and bus stations. The staff were very friendly. But the real selling point for us was sitting right by the canal's edge having breakfast whilst watching people (few of them tourists) and boats going past - it was lovely!

8.4

The hotel is an easy walk from the station, and easy to find if you have a map. It's among a group of rather sad looking buildings on the edge of the Jewish quarter, and you have to go into the side street to find the hotel. Initial impressions aren't great - the carpet on the stairs leading up to the room was faded and dirty, for example, but the room, while tiny, was elegantly appointed and the bathroom spacious and spotless. Although it's a bit of a hike to the center of town, the vaporettos stop just outside, and being a bit away from the crowd is a pleasant part of the experience.

7.0

The room downstairs is beautiful, but the aircon unit in the building hums, and if you are a light sleeper like me it will concern you. We got the owner out and he could do nothing about it, which is a shame, as it would otherwise have got a higher score.

8.8

Great location in the quieter Northern district of Venice. We enjoyed breakfast by the canal.

10

The Hotel and it's staff were 1st Class, the rooms are spotless and the breakfast by the canal side is the way to start any morning. Lovely Sun Terrace on the roof to watch the Sun set. Thanks again we will return

9.1

All as promised and better than expected considering previous hotels in Italy. Immaculate, nice breakfast, warm staff/owners, easy location. Very good value.

9.8

Ca'Dogaressa is a wonderful hotel--lovely room, good breakfast, charming staff! We were upgraded to one of the two suites overlooking the canal, which we loved, but also took a peek in the regular double rooms. All are spacious for Venice with lovely furnishings and great bathrooms. The location is perfect--not too far from the train/Pza. Roma but a little off Strada Nuova so quieter. The staff is very helpful with good English language skills. On our second morning tables were set up alongside the canal for breakfast. We could have spent all day there watching the boats and soaking up the sun. There are only seven rooms so reserve early. We will be back!

9.7

This is a really lovely little hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Very convenient for the station and just far enough away from the main tourist attractions to be bearable.

9.3

A wonderful spot for a break in a wonderful place....just off the main thoroughfare through the centre of the island and within a very short walk of a couple of Vaporette stops. Delightful owners and staff

8.2

It was a nice and very well kept hotel - close to the train station, somewhat far from the Piazza San Marco though. The owners/managers were friendly. The rooms were very well decorated as well as very clean. We got the only room on the ground floor - right next to the reception. There was a little bit of early morning hustle/noise - but we were able to sleep through it. They served very good breakfast with the option of having it in the room or the dining hall or outside - by the canal - which was awesome!

9.2

Very well decorated rooms, comfortable bed, good bathroom though the shower pressure was a bit low, but that's the only complaint.

9.9

We had a wonderful time at the Ca'Dogaressa. The Junior Suite was even better than seen on the website, the breakfast on the canal side an excellent plus and the service of Paolo and the staff always impeccable. We will surely return, and when ever that will be is too far away. Definetly warmly recommended.

9.7

Our first stay at a B&B. It was a wonderful experience. Staff was riendly and helpful. The owner gave his personal attention, and this was appreciated and especially welcoming. Location was great. In a quiet part of town, near a small canal. It was nice to come back to a peaceful place for the night after a busy day of sightseeing and being around other tourists. Our room was downstairs and a little small with no view. We didn't mind this because we came back exhausted to our room each night. A little noisy because it was next to the front desk and breakfast room. Easy walk to restaurants, shopping, sites and to the water taxi. Close to train station. Our stay in Venice could not have been better and we particularly enjoyed the Ca'Dogaressa. Recommend it highly to others.

9.3

Great little hotel, superb quiet area!!!

10

Thank you for everything

9.8

I had asked for a quiet room and got exactly that! Although small by North American standars, the room was comfortable and very clean - nice bathroom.

9.7

This hotel is near the train station and right by a water bus stop. The staff was unbelievably helpful and the service was unreal. I would suggest this hotel to anyone planning a trip to Venice!!!

7.5

The friendly owners and the cosiness of the place more than make up for the small rooms. Easy access to the vaporetto, away from the hustle and bustle of more touristy areas. The only issue was thin walls -- not good when a man next door wailed all night...likely drunk. :)

10

I could not have been more pleased with the accomadations. The rooms were nicely appointed and spacious. Poalo, was a very gracious host and seem to put his heart into his hotel. It made my stay in Venice just perfect! Grazie!!

8.5

Ca´Dogaressa hace honor a su puntuación media en esta web. Es un pequeño pero cómodo y coqueto hotel al pie del Cannaregio, muy fácil de localizar tanto si se llega a Venecia por estación de tren o autobús como desde el transporte Alilaguna del aeropuerto. Habitación no muy grande pero muy limpia y cómoda. El desayuno no es muy variado, pero sí abundante. Y el personal es muy agradable y profesional; Paolo, el simpático dueño del establecimiento, proporciona una cálida bienvenida (y además se defiende en español). La localización no es muy céntrica, pero es un barrio muy tranquilo con paradas de vaporetto al pie del hotel(en ambos sentidos) y muy cercano de todo lo visitable en el antiguo Gueto Hebreo. Sin duda, una de las mejores opciones hoteleras de Venecia por relación precio/calidad.

8.2

This was our first time in Italy and we chose this hotel because of the price and location close to a vaporetto stop, which saves a lot of money on the expensive water taxis needed to get to some of the hotels on smaller canals. The owner, Paulo, was very welcoming and tried his best English for us non-Italian speakers. Our room was nicely remodelled and certainly large enough for two. We found it convenient to alot of restaurants on a main shopping street leading to the Rialto bridge.

8.2

My boyfriend and I stayed at the junior suite on the first floor, it was very spacious, and very green! The shower didn't have a shower curtain and the floors are all marble so it was quite slippery, but I gather all showers don't have shower curtains in Italian hotels? The breakfast was very average, and the hotel was a 20 minute walk from the main areas, but we probably couldn't have gotten a better deal in Venice for the size and quality of the hotel. Overall it was very good value for money though, the staff were very friendly. I did feel bad leaving the hotel and coming back late though, because the door was locked and the man at the door seemed very sleepy when he came to open it for us. When we checked out the man waived the mini bar charge, which was nice. The room was very quiet, we couldn't hear the other guests at all. It was very easy to get to the hotel from the bus station from the airport, maybe a 10 minute walk.

9.2

Hi - My daughter and I enjoyed a wonderful three days in Venice - Ca D'Ogaressa was always welcoming and comfortable to come home to after a long day sightseeing in very cold weather. Heating very good and adjustable, bathroom pristine. Good local restaurants, one recommended by Paulo (where we ate three times, very well and for a very good price), and one opposite the hotel - a little smarter and more expensive, but good food and patronised by locals - always a good sign. Everywhere easily accessible by vaporetto (make sure you get one going in the right direction though!)- or on foot if you're feeling up to it - and strongly recommend buying a pass which saves a lot. Good shopping tip from Danielli: go to the Rialto Bridge area - big range of quality, but good stuff obtainable at more sensible prices than Piazza San Marco area. As for the hotel itself - everything was fine and can confirm earlier visitors' good impressions. Only suggestion would be possibly a little more variety at breakfast (fruit? bread?) and maybe rugs on the bedroom floors during the winter months - just in case you have forgotten your slippers! Also a few drawers to put clothes in would have been useful, but not essential and we managed fine without. All in all, we can thoroughly recommend Ca' Dogaressa and hope to return one day.

9.9

I will be sure to stay at the Hotel Ca'Dogaressa on my next trip to Venice. The staff was very accommodating and the room was lovely. We had a great meal at a small fish restaurant just down the street that was recommended by the owner.

9.9

The owner and reception staff that greeted us during our stay were very friendly and accomodating and let us store our luggage and use the facilities after we had checked out. The continental breakfast included was VERY generous. The room was spacious and beautiful facing a canal.

10

A lovely remodeled small hotel on a canal and near the train station, parkinglot and cruise terminal. Doesn't look like much from the outside but the interior is beautiful. We had the "queen's bedroom (room no. 1 ) which was gorgeous. I highly recommend this lovely hotel.

10

I normally don't even bother to leave these comments. But this was the highlight of my girlfriend's entire trip. The hotel was awesome, the room was awesome, the staff was awesome. The hotel is nicely situated off the grand canal to offer some quiet when you need it, but it is still close to everything.

8.2

The most amazing part is the decoration of the room, looks like a palace.

9.9

The is a small hotel (B&B) with a very welcoming, knowledgeable, friendly staff. Paolo, the owner offered much personal care and warmth. The public spaces and the room are nicely decorated; very atmospheric. The public space are small but adequate and very pleasant. Our room, #6, was small, but very adequate. Larger rooms are available according to price structure. Highly reccommended; superior to larger and more expensive hotels in the immediate area that we also experienced. We would stay there again

9.9

Extremely nice hotel with very nice people. Less than a ten minute walk from the train station. We booked a double room but they gave us their supreme room which was so beautiful and spacious. We stayed there for one night and we were willing to stay there for one more night but they had no room available for the next day. We had our breakfast (served by the hotel owner) by the canal. We enjoyed staying there a lot and recommend this hotel to everyone. Even the smell of the rooms makes you feel at home.

9.4

2 Adults 1 child. It was a very good owner managed hotel with lot of personal care and warmth. The owner(Paolo)doesnt speak much English but very helpfull and polite. Very clean, beautiful and enough space but no view in the room we stayed(room # 9). The only downside is there was no shower curtain for the bath tub, which make water to splash outside floor. It is a very minor and very low cost rectification to be carried out. The location was ezxcellent to walk around either to Rialto/San Marco or to the Railway station. Plenty of restaurants and gift shops around and also a large grocery store near by. Easy access from the Airport via Alilaguna "Orange Line" costing Euro 12 per adult(child was free may be since she is 4 yrs). The trip take around 40 mins but enjoyable.Get down at Guglie boat station and walk to your left around 300 meters. Easy to find. Good breakfast with crossants, bun/cheese, yogurt, nice bottled juice, biscuites/Jams and capachino. Can have bf by the side of the canal, which is very nice. The price may be little high but we were in high season and in Venecia! Will definitely stay again and will recomend.

9.7

This is the nicest hotel we have stayed in. The staff go out of their way to help in all aspects and make you feel at home. The exterior of the hotel is a little off putting but once inside you feel immediately at home. The hotel is located on one of the side canals where breakfast is served each day - you could sit there for hours just watching the boats go up and down. We had the smallest room but it did not seem to matter with how nice the rooms were fitted out, very clean, nice pieces of furniture and venetian lights. They have a casual eating area where other guest mentioned how the staff were more than happy to heat up lunches from food purchased.

8.9

beautiful stay in a very nice hotel. Staff was very accomodating. The only minor inconvenience was proximity to the sites. However, this was offset by how close it is to the train station.

9.8

Very friendly owner and an excellent and relatively less expensive hotel you could find.

9.2

Staying at this hotel was a great experience, people must not judge from the picture that is published because is a good and small hotel with very beautiful rooms. They gave us a nice room viewing the canal something which was really romanitc. The people in the reception were very helpful, one guy could talk greek as well. Due to the fact that we had to leave early from the hotel they prepared us a back of food to eat on the train. We suggest this hotel for the price and the quality.

9.0

Pretty good hotel indeed. We paid 110E for 1 night, and the hotel was way above my expectations. Our room was very spacious and clean with large tile floors. It had wooden cathedral ceilings and even a nice skylight on the ceiling. It takes about a 10 min walk to St. Lucia train station from this hotel, and the hotel is also close to the touristic walking path. During night the hotel surroundings looked pretty safe. I certainly would go back to this hotel again. This was the best place I stayed at throughout my trips to France and Italy.

8.7

Even though it's been about a year since I was there, the kindness of the people at the desk is memorable. They gave us a warm greeting and helped us to the room. When they heard we had an early departure the next morning, they packed us a breakfast to take with! The room we had was quiet with a view of canal that didn't have a lot of activity all hours of the day and night. My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much and would stay there again.

9.5

Great location - easy to find. Service was excellent.

10

This hotel is a wonderful place to stay if you are travelling to Venice. The hotel is located in a quiet area of the island, directly facing the path which runs along the northern bank of the Canareggio canal, and only a hundred meters or so from edge of the lagoon (looking across the Ponte della Liberta toward the mainland). As such it is a beautifully restful part of Venice to be able to kick back and relax when you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the Grand canal and San Marco. It is only a minutes walk to the nearest Vaporetto stop 'Giuglie' and you will very quickly (only a couple of minutes later) find yourself at the railway station terminal on the Grand Canal. From this spot (the Vaporetto boat stop at 'Ferrovia') Venice is your oyster. Man I miss those boat trips up and down the canals!!! The staff were 'extremely' polite and efficient and the room was really lovely. When I go back to Venice, this is definitely where I am going to be staying. They helped make our stay in Venice a truly wonderful experience.

9.9

Honestly we could not fault this Hotel (our first time there). It had style,elegance and absolute attention to every detail. Our no 1 bedroom was state of the art with a beautiful bathroom. The staff were just so friendly and helpful. It would have been better if there was a larger dining area for breakfast but it was adequate but breakfast could hve been a little more imaginative. Certainly go there again.

9.8

The location on the canal was great and our suite overlooked the canal so it was a great way to start the day. The only comment is that it is betterto haev breakfast downstairs as there is a marginally better choice of food available, although the breakfast is very basic. We only spent three days in Venice but would return to the hotel again.

7.5

really cute hotel with neat decor. a bit far away from everything and it feels like forever to get to the hotel after long day of walking around. but overall i really enjoyed staying in stylish hotel room.

9.4

People at the hotel were very friendly. The rooms were very clean and the bathroom was also renewed and clean. The service was amazing and we felt very comfortable there. This was the first time we stayed at Ca´Dogaressa and we would definetively do it again.

9.8

Hotel precioso, recien restaurado, habitaciones preciosas y el desayuno abundante y de muy buena calidad

9.9

This was our second visit to Venice and we wanted to do it in winter to see the fog and quietness of the city plus stay in another part of town. We got all of that plus more. The hotel was great and it was exactly as described and pictured on the website. The vaporetti is very close and very easy to access the airport. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated with pristine bathroom. Daniele, the hotel manager, was a pleasure to work with and was very helpful with restaurant recommendations. The night staff speak limited English but not as helpful as Daniele. They even surprised us with a bottle of prosecco since we were celebrating our anniversary. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone going to Venice.

9.5

Excellent hotel, I did not think such a place for such a price could exist in Venice !

8.9

The hotel is just 5 minutes from the Venice Railway station. It is just on the banks of the canal. Superbly located. The owner of the hotel was a very helpful person and guided us on how we could plan our tour. Over all I would recommend this to anybody.

9.5

We stayed at Ca Dogaressa in early Sept and found it to be as wonderful as described by most other reviewers! The exterior shots do not do it justice. Highly recommend the junior suites - spacious, private & with terrific views over Canareggio Canal. The roof top terrace is a good spot for enjoying the sunset & breakfast by the canal is a very Venice experience. We found the owners & staff helpful & charming. The location is away from the busier tourist areas. Exploring the canals behind the hotel you can even find yourself alone. Some good local restaurants nearby too. This was our favorite hotel in a 6 week Italian holiday.

9.4

We stayed at Hotel Ca Dogaressa and enjoyed it very much. The hotel is actually somewhat better than the comments that I saw on the website. We would definately stay hear again. The breakfast was certainly better than average with outstanding service.

9.9

Excelente estancia. La situación del hotel muy cerca de la estación de tren y de la estación de autobuses es estupenda. Hotel familiar muy bien cuidado y con detalles muy confortables. La decoración de las habitaciones muy bonita. Baño muy completo y nuevo. Muy cuidada también la relación con el cliente tanto de los dueños como del personal de recepción. Muy atentos a cualquier necesidad del cliente. Nos recomendaron un restaurante cercano típicamente veneciano y con una relación calidad precio muy aceptable. Volveriamos sin ninguna duda.

9.8

Das Hotel (wir hatten die Junior Suite) ist hervorragend gelegen. Nahe Bus- und Bahnstation, nahe einer Vaporetten-Station, genau richtige Entfernung zum San Marco (20min zu Fuß). Das Zimmer war groß, sauber und ruhig mit tollem Ausblick auf einen schönen Kanal. Das Hotel wird von außerordentlich freundlichen Mitarbeitern (Besitzerfamilie?)betrieben. Wir erhielten freundliche und kompetente Hilfestellung bei der Restaurantauswahl und -buchung. Das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis ist sehr gut.

9.9

Stayed 2 nights in Venice. Suggest additional sightseeing by turning RIGHT from hotel, in direction of Tre Arche bridge, and keep to that direction (turning left brings you to where all the usual action is). We saw wonderful sights and got fantastic photos by turning right. Hotel was great, very beautiful, great location, easy walk from train station. Also short-cut to the Jewish ghetto by turning left from hotel,then left immediately after the Kosher Gam Gam restaurant, interesting shops enroute.

8.4

Wonderful, small hotel with lovely rooms and a very nice staff.

9.8

L'accoglienza è stata ottima, ci siam subito sentiti a casa. Il titolare è stato prodigo di consigli ed attenzioni, un mentore cordiale e prezioso.

10

Anyone looking for an inexpensive but high quality hotel in Venice - look no further! Lovely hotel on the canal and all the staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming. We stayed in November and the room rates were very good plus the hotel is only a 10 minute walk from Piazza Roma and even better the airport bus (Alliguna Line) stops practicaly outside the hotel. You may look on the map of Venice and think that this hotel is maybe a bit far from the main attractions but trust me it is in a lovely location and is still no more than a half walk from St.Marks square - a walk I did several times and enjoyed everytime. To summarise - Lovely hotel, great location. My wife and I had a wonderful stay at the Ca'Dogaressa and when we return to Venice we will stay there again no doubt about that!!

9.6

The most beautiful, cleanest and high-tech room in a small hotel, although somewhat away from major attractions. Excellent value. Our only concern is that 100+ lbs beautiful Venice-glass light fixture will fall from ceiling onto our bodies when we sleep.

8.4

Couple de français. Très très bon accueil, quartier pas loin du centre en vaporeto qui a le mérite d'être aussi un des rares lieu de vie des Vénitiens donc avec restaurants et magasins plus raisonnables et chaleureux. S'il fallait recommencer .... on ne changerait rien.

8.4

I highly recommend this hotel.

10

A great hotel 15 minutes walk from St Marks square.The staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable.The junior suite overlooking the canal was lovely-spacious and clean.

7.9

Das Hotel ist ein Tipp - auch wenn es nicht der totale Überflieger ist, wie es aus den Vorbewertungen schien. Total klasse wares, im Oktober am Canale reggio draußen zu frühstücken. Die Dachterrasse haben wir abends für ein italienisches Abendessen gut nutzen können. Die Lage hat mir persönlich am besten gefallen - wenige hundert Meter von den Touristenströmen, nah an den vaporettis und weit genug von allem weg, um das zu finden, was ich an Venedig mag: Stille, uriges und wunderschöne Bilder alltäglichen Lebens, fern des Markusplatzes.

9.7

We stayed for 3 nights in this very nice small family hotel. Room was in perfect condition and well decorated. We were on the 1st floor in the back - so we didn't have much of a view though. Overall a great location in Venice, a bit of the beaten track, but walking distance from everything. Breakfast along the canal in the morning is perfect. Only comment is that the waterpressure in the shower was a bit low.

8.4

My husband and I were happy with Hotel Ca' Dogaressa. It was a relief to be within walking distance of the train station after so many hours on planes and trains. The room was a little small, but bigger than others we had in Italy. The room was spotless. I would tell other people to request a room on an upper floor. Although quiet, it was a little awkward having our room next to the front desk. Breakfast was ample and it was wonderful to sit by the canal in the morning watching the local delivery boats and water buses. Paolo and the rest of the staff were very hospitable. Their English was broken, but they were still able to give us directions and a recommendation for a great restaurant.

8.7

Ambiente ricercato e di classe che trasporta nel '700 veneziano come in una favola. Intorno la magica Venezia da scoprire in una delle zone più autentiche e affascinanti, al di fuori dai circuiti turistici. L'accoglienza è cordiale e attenta ma discreta. Una gran voglia di tornarci!

9.9

We absolutely love this hotel. If you are looking for a small, intimate hotel where you can get a feel for what real Venitian life is like this is the place for you. It's off the beaten path in a residential neighborhood but just a couple minute walk to the Strada Nuova and the waterbus stop. Besides this is Venice so practically everything is in walking distance anyway. There are only 7 rooms and Paulo and Gratziella live next door. We strongly suggest that you go for the Jr. Suite. They are a bit pricy but they are worth every penny. They overlook the canal so just open your windows and watch the real Venice go by, not the tourist version. Paulo and Gratziella are wonderful hosts and treat you like family. Breakfast is served at canal side in front of the hotel and there's nothing better than sipping a cappuccino in the morning and taking in the sights and sounds of the real Venice. And when you are done sight seeing for the day you'll find Paulo and Gratziella sitting by the canal talking with friends when you return. As we said this is not a touristy area, this is their home. There are plenty of good places to eat in the area. For a good pizza and a fun and relaxed time just go across the canal on the Tre Arche bridge and come back toward the hotel. It’s the first restaurant you come to. We can't remember the name but you can't miss it. Antica Molla is a really good place frequented by locals, so that says a lot and we stumbled across a place called Ostaria Da Rioba which turned out to be fantastic. It’s kind of a Venitian/nouvelle/fusion cuisine frequented by a lot of the local 20 somethings. For something unusual to do we recommend going to the Casino. It’s just a 10 minute walk. No, it's not Vegas, but it is the oldest Casino in the world and it's where Casanova used to hang out, which takes you back in time and a taste of elegance.

9.8

Es la mejor relación calidad/precio de hotel de cuantos he acudido. Es de destacar la amabilidad y actitud de servicio del personal. Los desayunos en la calle, al borde del canal son una gozada.

9.9

What a wonderful place. It is difficult to think of anything that could be improved. We booked a Double Superior and on the website the room we stayed in (Room 8) is pictured as a Double Classic, to be honest it was so good we didn't care. The whole ambience of the hotel coupled with the enjoyment of a return visit to Venice was tremendous. We will go back again and would recommend to anyone visiting Venice.

10

highly recommended

10

my son recomended the hotel to my husband & I We found it more than met our expectations on every level & the people were extremely warm & freindly without being obtrusive also very helpful with local information.We ate breakfast beside the canal every morning,delightful.

9.1

Our stay a Ca'Dogaressa was Great. Daniele and Signore Paolo were very friendly and helpfull. The rooms were beautiful and immaculately clean, and breakfast beside the canal was lovely.

7.7

Very friendly, almost too helpful staff. Heavily decorated rooms which may or may not delight, depending on your taste. Nice sunday breakfast outside along the canal! Quiet neighborhood, just the right distance away from the busy centre of town.

8.9

beatiful room compare my stay in Rome and Naples. Price also expensive than others. The Chinese resturant opposit the hotel provide good food with resonalbe price. it's not the center of the city but near railway station and very quite. ( Maybe all the hotels in Venice are quite, since no vehicle)

9.8

The hotel is within walking distance of the train station, a comfortable walk even with luggage. The staff is absolutely wonderful, we had a 6:45am train and they packed us a breakfast to go. The rooms are large, the bathroom was beautiful and the rooftop terrace was wonderful for evening drinks. The best part was breakfast on the canal, simply wonderful.

9.9

Of all the hotels we stayed in for our 2 week honeymoon in Italy, Ca' Dogaressa was the best. We picked it because of the good reviews, and they lived up to our expectations. The room, for 120 euros/night, was excellent and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The location, off a side street, was out of the hustle and bustle and that made a huge difference. When we turned out of the crowds to go "home", it was a relief. Highly recommended -- we will stay there again.

9.2

We absolutely loved Hotel Ca' Dogaressa. They were extremely warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The room was immaculate (the pluses include AC, WiFi), the breakfast was delicious and served at little tables right on the canal, and the neighborhood was clean and quiet. It was a short walk from the train station, and a reasonable walk from San Marco and the Rialto, etc - but it was close to a boat-bus-stop if you'd rather. We were more than pleased with every aspect of our stay. We heartily recommend Hotel Ca' Dogaressa. We will undoubtedly return there ourselves, and are looking forward to it! If you go - enjoy your stay... we sure did!

Superb hotel for the price. Extremely attractive interior and the staff we were friendly and welcoming. The area around the hotel is a little off the beaten track but close enough to many bars/restaurants for it not to matter. Very close to several Alilaguna stops as well. Would not stay anywhere else in Venice!

Ca' Dogaressa was a little farther from the Venice train station than I had anticipated, but it was well worth the lengthy walk. We were greeted by a very competent, friendly hotel staff and our needs were anticipated before we had a chance to think of them. As it was during our 25th anniversary celebration, they gave us what I would suspect was their best room overlooking the canal. It was huge, air-conditioned and tastefully decorated. They even offered us a complimentary bottle of wine. In room internet service was available and worked fine. The hotel is in the Jewish section of Venice, which was fine with us, since we come from a multicultural region (San Francisco Bay Area) and have friends, whom we love, who are Jewish and friends, whom we love, who are Muslim. During the war between Israel and Lebanon, there was a protest parade near the hotel, which was relatively small, non violent and we never felt in peril. Yet, prospective guests should be aware of this, so they can make their own assessment as to safety. All in all it was a wonderful experience and we were treated with the utmost hospitality and charm. One desk clerk spoke English. The other did not and we had some minor communication problems. Otherwise, it was a ten all around, except for the common areas, which were scant. But, we felt no loss in that regard and heartily recommend the Ca' Dogaressa to all who visit Venice!

Extremely nice location away from tourist crowds but at a walking distance from all attractions. I expected that 'superior' would be a somewhat bigger room (now can't even imagine what the size of 'standard' is), otherwise a very charming hotel. I especially appreciated possibility to take shower after check-out (we had an evening train, left the luggage in the hotel and went for a long walk, so it was nice to be able to refresh when picking-up the luggage). Grazie!

A lovely quaint hotel in a quieter area right by the canal. A lovely breakfast was served by the canal daily. Only 10 minutes walk to the station. Excellent pleasant staff always happy to help. Beautiful Venetian style bedroom. We would stay here again.

Lovely small hotel run by the owner and his family, situated well away from the busy parts of Venice; it's exterior belies it's lovely interior. Our room and bathroom were spotless and we loved having breakfast outside by the canal watching the world go by. Nothing was too much trouble for the owner in making our stay very memorable.

Everything was excellent about our stay at Ca'Dogaressa except for the showers. We had a room on the third floor and our water pressure was barely a trickle. Other than that, the room and bathroom were immaculate. The staff was friendly and the price was reasonable.

This is a beautiful small hotel on the canal. The family and employees were wonderful, helpful and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. Breakfast on the canal and wine in the evening on their rooftop terrace was great. The rooms are beautiful, and ours overlooked the canal. I can't wait to return to Venice and will definitely stay here again. It's was nice to be out of the tourist areas.

9.0

It is a nice small hotel near the rail station. It is quit & friendly. We had nice weather and the chance for breakfast outside the hotel beside the canale. It is really nice to start the hotel in the morning with this feeling.

Ca' Dogaressa was the best hotel we stayed in on our trip through Italy. At 100Euro a night in May, this was excellent value for money in Venice. The images on the website are a bit misleading because they make the building look a bit old, but in fact it's beautiful. The neighbourhood is about 5-10 minutes walking from the train station. It's in a quiet part of Venice, but just a short walk to the Vaporetti stop. And there are lots of restaurants nearby. The highlight of this hotel is eating breakfast next to the canal in the morning. It's fantastic. The canal was busy with boats going up and down, and you watched real Venetians walking out of their houses and heading to work. The rooms were super clean and nicely decorated. And the best part was that the bathrooms were of North American standard. We had a bathtub/shower and nice clean tiles in our bathroom. Much much nicer than the hotel we stayed at in Lido. The owner was very kind to us, we arrived late at night and breakfast was good. We absolutely loved this hotel. The best experience on our tour of Italy.
