Hotel Antiche Figure - Venice

9.0

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was small but very nice. Price, like everything in Venice, seems too high but comparing it with comparably priced Venice hotels,it stacks up quite well. I would stay there again

8.7

Location was great - walk from Venezia SL Stn. Staff were very polite, helpful, and friendly. Room was somewhat small, but bathroom had ample room. Clean, pleasant atmosphere. Price seemed a little steep for the accomodation. Only shortcoming was mediocre Breakfast included.

6.0

Whilst the hotel staff were excellent and extremely courteous and helpful, the quality of map was not so good! We did have trouble finding the hotel and several local people we asked did not know where it was! The map needs to be clearer I feel. I cannot rate the hotel staff highly enough though - they were brilliant

9.0

Venice is expensive and in this context Antiche Figure is good value. Extremely friendly and helpful welcome even though we arrived at midnight. The proprietors are opening a new hotel nearby in a couple of months which will no doubt be equally worthy of patronage.

7.9

This was our fist visit to Venice- The desk clerk was VERY helpful- arranged prompt taxi service, corkscrew, etc. Was a short walk from Cruise ship terminal (12 minutes) but too us about 40 minutes to find the day before- just a bit too confusing - perhaps a written description also. Very enjoyable- wish we had more time to visit Venice. Would stay at Antiche Figure again !

8.9

Good staff, good location and a most pleasant place to stay.

9.6

We thoroughly enjoyed our night's stay - location was excellent, easy to find, and very close to main bus stop and cruise terminal.

8.7

We are mature age travellers on our first visit to Venice. The hotel was sourced on line, using position and comments.It was easy to find if the map was followed, even for Venice! On arrival we were offered a suite in the annexe at no extra cost - which was accepted. Help was given with carrying our bags up one floor and very useful advice was offered on what to see in Venice. It was a pleasure to deal with the hotel staff, who helped to make our visit most enjoyable.

9.7

Delighted with every aspect. Made our stay 100% enjoyable

9.4

The way we were welcomed and treated from start to finish was worthy of the best hotels anywhere. We opted to upgrade to canal-view rooms and it was well worth it. We went with some very good friends and they described our whole trip as 'magical' (the great weather helped, but still). The vaporetto stops very close by and is so convenient; you can walk easily with bags from Piazzale Roma (from airport bus). Don't think about staying anywhere else!!

9.0

very nice hotel -- booked a triple for 2 people -- very nice sized room --- public areas were very clean and modern

9.1

Hotel in fab location. Near to bus park and very easy to follow signs back to the bus park if you get lost. Using the bus cheap from the airport 3 euros. Enjoyed stay very much, everybody tries to help and be friendly and offered alot of advice to help you get the best out of Venice. Would certainly return and would recommend the hotel. It would help if breakfast room was a little bit bigger

9.2

The main reason the price wasn't good for us was the dramatic fall in the Australian dollar just before we went.

9.9

we stayed in a double delux with Canal view and were totally satisfied with every aspect of the hotel, extremely courteous helpful staff (esp. Alessandro), spacious room and bathroom, cannot speak highly enough of this hotel and will certainly return!

9.1

very welcoming.rooms a little small as to be expected for the standard in Italy but very nice and clean.Spacious bathroom.very close to train station(santa Lucia) but still very quiet and cosy.Would recommend and return.

9.9

Hotel is just across the Grand Canal from the train station and you can walk to it in 3-4 minutes. Public areas are small but nice. The staff is warm and welcoming. Breakfast is very nice. We stayed in a one-bedroom apartment in the next building. It was beautifully appointed and included a kitchenette which we did not use but would be excellent for a longer stay. Beds were comfortable.

9.0

This hotel is in an excellent location and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Very close to bus and train terminals, convenient and ideal for cruise travelers.

9.1

lovely hotel, beautiful bedroom and bathroom, lovely views over the main canal. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, they made our stay very special as it was our silver wedding anniversary, they booked us a lovely restaurant and opera.

9.9

We arrived after a very long flight, it was rainy heavily, we were lost and the staff were excellent once we arrived. They even allowed us to go to our rooms and dry up and change before doing any registration paperwork. We very much appreciated that courtesy. We will always stay with you when in Venice! Thank you so very much.

10

Perfect hotel for a stay by grand canal. View is wonderful day and night. We had breakfast in the hotel then strolled the nearby streets taking in the sights and shops before check-out and making our way to the port for a cruise.

9.1

The staff were extremely helpful, the rooms have a real genuine charm to them and you really feel like you're in a special place, which of course Venice is. I would not and will not hesitate to return to the Antiche Figure, it's located well, has excellent staff and is probably only 3 star due to no restaurant and it was a notch above everywhere else we stayed.

9.8

Where can I start. The hotel is straight across from the St.Lucia train station and in front of the via Fero waterbus stop. It's within walking distance of everything. The staff was outstanding. Alessandro the day shift front desk, saw how many luggages my group (5) were carrying, and upgraded us to the suites that were located behind the main hotel (he figured we could use the extra space). The rooms were beautiful, spacious, very modern but charming. Everything was new. Silvio the bartender on nights prepared the best cappuccinos and lattes you could ever drink. Also the front desk gentleman on nights (I can't remember his name, but he's the one w/ glasses and a shaved head) was very pleasant and accomodating. He knew we were checking out @ 4am, and had a mini breakfast and cappuccinos waiting when we came down. The only draw back was the noise. The walls are thin and you could hear everything. However most if not all hotel rooms have the same problem (has to do with the method of construction in Venice...we were told). But the stay here is definately worth it. I'm definately coming back here again and I whole heartedly reccommend all to stay here.

9.3

Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Location ideal for arrival by bus or train, for catching the water buses, and not too far on foot to St Mark's Square. In the evening, sit outside the bar and watch the Grand Canal.

9.0

Wonderful hotel in a non touristy part of Venice. Staff are helpful and friendly. We had a deluxe canal view room, although it seemed a little small, it had every amenity you could want. Although we enjoyed the view of the canal, due to the height of the windows, you could only enjoy it standing up. We found the room quite noisy at night when we had to open the window, because it was warm, and there is no air conditioning.

9.8

We traveled all through Italy and our stay at Antiche Figure was the highlight of our trip. The hotel directions were perfect and we found it right away after arriving from the airport via bus. From the moment we walked in the front door, the staff was outstanding. We cannot say enough about Alessandro, Francesca, Gianni, Monica and the rest of the staff who were so friendly and eager to help us with everything from restaurants to vaperetto schedules. They gave us the choice of three standard rooms that they had available. Our room and bathroom were a good size and furnished very nicely. The breakfast each morning was very good and they personally made our coffee just the way we liked it. The location is in Santa Croce, which we appreciated because it kept us away from the crowds and noise. The vaperetto station was very close and made it easy to get anywhere. We highly recommend this hotel and will certainly return again.

10

we stayed in a suite down a lane way.It was a hidden gem!Beautifully decorated,and so quiet.The staff were all excellent,and the breakfast great. Would definately stay again and recommend it to friends.

10

Great location, beautiful rooms and very helpful hotel staff. Especially with the front desk staff, they were always very helpful and had a great attention to detail and info on Venice. Marble bathrooms were spacious and new. The whole hotel was lovely and totally updated. Only drawback was that it was a little hard to find with the directions on the website. Once we contacted the hotel, they gave us full details and everything was fine.

8.2

Hotel Antiche figure is along the Canal Grnade, in front of the station. It's a very good hotel , with very kind employees and beautiful roomms.

9.9

Excellent hotel. Extremely helpful staff. Superior room with big window onto canal just as good as more expnsive balcony room on next floor. Everything about hotel was perfect for our needs- v close to train station, easy walk to cannareggio/ jewish quarter(v. nice part of venice), walking distance to St. Marks etc, great breakfast, comfortable bed, beautiful bathroom, air con, tv and of course the view. Highly recommended.

9.4

The Hotel Antiche Figure in Venice, Italy was a quaint, pleasant and clean atmosphere located on the Grand Canal. The staff were outstanding! We had travelled 18 days in Italy and the entire staff far exceeded any other hotel we had stayed at during our visit. They were welcoming, helpful and knowledgeable...a breath of fresh air!

9.9

We stayed in the annex, and were very pleased with the location. Our breakfasts were excellent and served by the most delightfully helpful and pleasant lady.

9.5

This was our first time staying in Venice and the hotel provided excellent and extremely well located accommodation; on arrival we were offered an upgrade to a suite at a very reasonable supplement. The helpfulness of the staff was outstanding and enabled us to travel around Venice with confidence using public transport. The hotel is located less than a 5 minute walk from the main bus terminal; however visitors need to be aware that cases have to be carried over two bridges of steps unless you want to pay a fortune for a water taxi. The walking instructions to the hotel are not entirely clear on the website but we still found it with ease by following the Grande Canal. The hotel is in perfect position to enable travel throughout all parts of the city both walking and by public transport. If we were to return to Venice we would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to all.

8.3

If your travelling by train to Venice, this is the ideal place to stay on the Grand Canal. Quality of the rooms excellent and very helpful staff. They made a recommendation for a restaurant which was very good.

9.3

This hotel is a must for train travellers. It is a 2-minute walk from the station, and it is great. The room and bathroom are both lovely. The staff speak excellent English, and are very helpful. (One helped us avoid the hassles of a train strike.) The literature we read didn't mention a/c, but it does have it. While expensive (as is everything in Venice) for a 3-star hotel, I would highly recommend it.

9.3

Beautiful Hotel!!!! We loved it. Keep in mind the "non view" rooms really have no view, but that said, it's a great place. Also, hauling your luggage in Venice is a major pain - thankfully this hotel is as close to the train station as you can get! Note there IS an elevator.

9.9

Lovely hotel, well located near the rail station,bus station, car park and Grand Canale. The staff was very helping especially the lady at the reception who even upgraded our room. We had a very quite and pleasant room that was decorated in Venetian style. We loved the hotel and our stay in Venice.

9.1

We enjoyed our stay and the convenience to all public transportation, as we arrived by train, traveled the water bus system, and took the public bus to the airport! Overall very satisfied with the staff, cleanliness, free internet access, and breakfast. Will be sure to recommend to our friends.

9.0

Drinks at the hotel bar where way overpriced ....

8.8

The service was awesome: lots of great suggestions. The breakfasts were good - excellent coffee, and the location was fantastic - couldn't have been better. I would definitely stay there again.

9.0

An excellent hotel which we thoroughly enjoyed. I would stay there again and recommend to friends without hesitation!

9.9

We are 2 seniors from Australia who just spent 4 weeks travelling by train through southern Germany, Austria, Slovenia and northern Italy. All of our accommodation was booked online, but our 3 night stay at Hotel Antiche Figure was the best. First of all the hotel was easy to find since it is located directly across the Grand Canal from the main train station. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted and told our room was ready, but a newly-renovated suite nearby was offered for the same price. We opted for the beautifully decorated suite with a living area, kitchenette, large bedroom with canopy bed and complete bathroom with all mod-cons. Breakfast was served each morning in the main hotel. The manager and his staff spoke perfect English. Nearby restaurants, patronized by the locals, were recommended. Advice on the ferries and sightseeing hints were given. Even a water taxi ride and guided tour through one of the glass factories on Murano Island were arranged for us with 15 minutes notice. We could not have wished for a more pleasant stay.

10

Beautiful, quaint, boutique hotel facing the Grand Canal providing excellent service. This hotel is a 10-15 min. walk to Rialto Bridge and about 20-25 min. walk to St. Marks Square which means you can walk to the sights but LEAVE the crazy crowds for a more serene location. There are quaint restaurants and shops nearby. There is a lovely wide promenade in front of the hotel lining the Grand Canal for walking. Vaporetto stops in front of hotel and the train station is across the canal. Hotel is only 5 minute walk to Piazzalle Roma and perfect for pre or post cruise stay as the cruise ships are only a 5 min. taxi ride from P. Roma. You can definitely walk all of Venice but this hotel's location makes public transportation to/from the airport or train station a breeze. The rooms are gorgeous, like a fairy tale, with new marble bathrooms, a lovely breakfast room downstairs and superb service.

9.4

Excellent location. All staff had good command in english and very welcoming. We enjoyed our stay here.Opp to station and very near to indian resturant

8.2

What more can we say about this hotel other than fantastic. We were a family of 3 (2 adults & 1 teenager) and the facilities were excellent. All the staff were very polite, helpful and courteous and there English excellent. Free internet access a bonus for daughter. Although located opposite the station facing the Grand Canal, you couldn't hear any trains at all. Good walk to the Rialto Bridge about 30mins. but with the excellent directions given and the map it was easy. Breakfast was good cereals, bread, meat and cheese, eggs, pastries, fresh fruit and yogurts. We chose this hotel because of it's location to Tronchetto Car Park, as we were at the end of a two week tour of Italy and had very large and heavy suitcases that we didn't want to drag further into the centre of Venice. Overall excellent hotel and would stay there again and would highly recommend.

9.5

We had a wonderful room and received excellent service while here. We would definitely come back and stay at Antiche Figure.

9.1

This was our first trip to Venice and it wsa for a special occasion. We initally booked a standard room but later e-mailed the hotel to upgrade to a deluxe room. They replied quickly and we were delighted with our room (212) which over looked the Grand canal and had a small balcony. The staff were superb and made us feel special. One really good and unusual thing for Venice is the terrace outisde which is fantastic for a drink before dinner and for breakfast watching the gondoliers setting up.

8.7

My husband and I stayed at the Antiche Figure after we took a Cruise. The hotel is very well located, as we were ale to walk from the bus terminal (Piazzale Roma) to the hotel. In relation to the price it is fairly adequate considering how pricey these are in Venice. Very courteous and educated staff, willing to go out of their way to help. The only negative is the AC does not work to capacity as I experienced in many of the hotels I visited on this trip in Europe. But, overall will recommend this hotel to couples or families on vacation.

9.1

The staff at the Antiche Figure could not have been more welcoming. They were charming and very quick to suggest restaurants etc and provide maps. Their English was impeccable - a great help in view of our complete lack of Italian. Although the water taxis stopped at the nearby Ferrovia bridge, it was better to walk one stop back to the Piazzale Roma to board the taxi at the start of the Grand Canal. That way, you could secure a seat at the open front of the boat for the best views!

9.1

The Hotel Antiche Figure were excellent. My husband is disabled, and they actually sent out a staff member to help carry his scooter and our luggage over the two bridges we had to navigate. Also, very helpful with organizing transport to the Cruise terminal - they ordered a water taxi with a lift, so that the scooter could be taken to the terminal easily. They were very kind, and answered any questions we had re accessibility around Venice. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

9.6

We had a lovely stay at Antiche Figure to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Our canal view room was everything we had hoped it would be!

9.8

We were greeted by very pleasant and knowledgeable employees. We were upgraded from a room to a suite with no extra charge. The front desk was very helpful as to bus schedules and places of interest. The hotel is an easy walk to the bus station (except with a lot of luggage, there are 2 bridges with stairs to cross). The hotel had a nice buffet breakfast and is close to nearby restaurants. There is access to the internet in the lobby.

10

My husband and I (a mature couple) arrived early morning and were immediately given our room. The staff could not do enough to help us. Everyone was most polite, friendly and efficient. The deluxe room was beautiful ovelooking the canal and the breakfast excellent. Because again our return journey was overnight the luggage was kept all day and we were even given shower and changing facilities before leaving. The hotel was in an excellent position for all the main vaperetto stations as well as opposite the train station. Can thoroughly recommend.

9.9

A wonderful hotel, conveniently placed, and with a superb welcome. One evening, while drinking an aperitif the barman obviously decided that we looked hungry and made us some sandwiches! The staff were very good indeed and let us practice our beginners Italian. We will certainly stay there upon our next visit to Venise.

9.3

Recommended by a friend, and I would also recommend to others. Perfect for a firts timer to Venice, within 5 mins walk from airport bus stop, impossible to get lost. Really friendly staff, perefct English spoken. I'll be back!!

10

Celebrated our 40th anniversary - 1st time in Venice and this was a perfect way to start our vacation - they staff and hotel were friendly helpful and courteous. Would come back without question

9.7

We stayed for 2 days in Venice and the hotel offered everything we wanted and more. The room we had was wonderful (except the bed was hard). The staff exceeded expectations.

9.8

this hotel totally exceed my expectations!!! helpful and friendly staff!! OMG! did i mention the great breakfast spread?we were serve hot cappuccinos every morning!! great location you can walk to train station,St. Marco's plaza,Rialto bridge and great restaurants all around it.

9.9

This hotel is fabulous -- terrific location within walking distance of the Piazzale Roma and the train/bus stations, so that you don't have to worry about dragging your luggage all over Venice. The staff speak perfect English, are exceptionally friendly and helpful and the room I stayed in was spacious with all the amenities. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Venice, particularly those arriving in Venice by cruise ship (as I did).

10

If you have a early AM flight you may want to stay close to the airport. The train station is right across from this hotel, but you have to factor in at least an extra hour to get the 5:00 am bus. If you stay close to the airport, you can still spend a lot of time in Venice at night.

9.9

We loved the location of Antiche Figure because we took day trips and were able to simply cross the bridge to the train station. At the station you can also board the vaporetti which will take you anywhere in the city that you don't want to walk. My husband enjoyed looking out our windows at all the activities. The service is perfect: they treat everyone like family.

8.4

Very nice little hotel. Expensive but still quite affordable for being Venice. Staff was very helpful and made some excellent recommendations during check-in. We travelled by train and it was so convenient not having to use the vaporettos to reach the hotel. This one is just across the bridge. We can definitely recommend this place!

9.4

This is the best hotel experience we have had in 4 trips to Europe. Nice, large rooms, friendly staff proficient in English, and great location. Next time in venice we will try hard to stay here again.

8.6

Better than expected. Excellent staff, willing and able to assist in all areas. Rooms were quite nice with an excellent breakfast.

8.6

Clean hotel with friendly staff. Standard European hotel continental breakfast. Had a very small suite in another building adjacent to hotel which had just been rennovated and was very nicely finished. One of the beds was a fold-out sofa. Had a problem with mosquitoes in the room.

9.6

We stayed here one day before a cruise and two days afterward. The hotel was just perfect in terms of location. Close to the terminal where the airport bus and the cruise shuttle picked us up and dropped us off. Only two bridges to cross! It was also easy to walk to most of the Venice attractions or to catch the water bus. The hotel staff was outstanding -- extremely friendly, efficient and very helpful. Our room was a small suite in the newly refurbished annex with a bedroom and sofa bed. Ideal for three people. The only problem was the hand held shower. There was no place to hang hose and only a partial shower door, so the whole bathroom showered with us. I must say the water pressure was very, very good. We were assured this would be taken care of in the near future. While the hotel is somewhat off the beaten path, this was actually a positive. After the crowds around the busier areas, sitting outside along the Grand Canal with a glass of wine,watching the passing parades of boats and pedestrians was a very pleasant way to end the day. I would definitely stay here again.

8.8

Beautiful hotel not given enough credit by it's star rating. Incredibly convenient for the train station and all other areas of Venice. Very welcoming staff.

8.7

The room was more than we expected and the staff were pleasant and very accommodating.

9.7

We stayed in September 2006 for our 20th anniversary and it was a dream vacation. This hotel is the best in Venice.

9.9

A wonderful small hotel. Highly recommended.

10

The hotel was beautiful and perfectly located. The staff was extremely helpful and spoke excellent English. An excellent choice.

9.7

This hotel is in an excellent location for those wishing to utilize the train, in fact the train station is just across a canal from the hotel. It's a bit of a walk to St. Marks square,the Rialto Bridge and other tourist sites, but that also means your away from the crowds. The staff was warm, friendly and very accommodating. Breakfast was good and plentiful. As to room size just remember that European room sizes are always a smaller than American Hotels. That said by European standards the room was more than adequate in size. When returning to Venice we always stay at the Antiche Figure.

9.1

Staff was great. Close to Rail & Canal boats.

9.1

Since I was in Venice for only one day and night, I was most interested in convenience to the train and airport bus locations. The property was as advertised in its pictures, with a very helpful multi-lingual staff over two shifts. Curiously, the only beer stocked was the Mexican Corona. I had a canal view, which was both good and bad: good ambience, but noise from service-boat activity well into the night. Be aware that there is no AC, window screens nor fan, at least in my Single room, so I imagine mosquitos might feast during the summer months. Lack of screens seemed the norm at most hotels as I walked around getting lost. Otherwise, a nice experience.

9.1

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel very much. It was everything we hoped it would be. The room was palatial and we particularly appreciated having sheets and blankets on the bed as neither of us like duvets! We were very near the waterbus stop and in easy walking distance of much we wanted to see. Staff were helpful and pleasant. We would certainly stay here again.

9.1

A lovely hotel. We enjoyed our stay.

10

I loved this hotel! The rooms were perfect, clean and nicely decorated. We had the canal view room, which was not as noisy as some people said, and besides, your on the canal in Venice, who cares. The breakfast was nice and the service was excellent. I would definitely return to this hotel.

9.0

The breakfast room gets quickly crowded, it is a bit on the small side

9.9

They were very pleasant and helpful. The room was commodious and reasonably priced. We would stay there again. Jackie Hopper

9.9

As two weary New Yorkers on our first trip to Venice, my wife and I thought your hotel provided a most welcome respite from the riggors of travel. The people at the front desk are multi-lingual and were reassuring with their English and patient with our pathetic attempt at Italian. Our well appointed spotless room looked out on the Canal and provided a most pleasant backdrop for our viist here. The soft linens and plush towels provided the level of comfort we were seeking on this trip. Breakfast was a feast of a variety of fresh fruit, muffins, croissants and other assorted goodies served with coffee that made opening your eyes worth it. The professionals at the front desk were always helpful with maps, directions and a recommendation or two of restaurants and sights to see. Highly recommend this hotel for your next stay in Venice.

9.8

The hotel was very convenient to the train station and the boat stops. It had a very good breakfast and rooms slightly larger than those that we stayed in, in other Italian cities. The people at the desk were very friendly and open to answering questions.

8.1

We arrived at 11PM and were gone again by 8AM, so it's difficult to say much except that they didn't have Jack Daniels at the bar and the breakfast coffee drinks came out of an automatic machine instead of a real expresso machine (as they did in out inexpensive hotel in Florence!). Also, the location is both beautiful and ideal for those arriving in Venice on a late train.

9.1

The room was much, much nicer than expected. We had a top floor room looking directly onto the canal. Location of hotel was perfect for us, very close to and easy to get to the train station and bus to the airport.

7.2

Great room overlooking Grand Canal, excellent location for arrivals/departures and daily travel within Venice. Be careful of the restaurants recommended by the hotel: the Tre Gobi was a complete disaster.

9.9

Beautiful small hotel directly across Grand Canal from train station. Only drawback is carrying luggage over bridge from station. Very well appointed rooms and common areas. Breakfast was plentiful and fresh however the breakfast rooms were small. Staff were courteous,professional and helpful. Room was on the small side but beautifully appointed. Excellent value overall.

9.9

Antiche Figure is a family run hotel and so is very welcoming. Booking through venere.com we saved hundreds of Euros on the price. The only mis-match in a fantastic experience at the hotel was that the 'hot' breakfasts advertised were not hot. Still, when you sitting on the edge of the Grande Canale in Venice who cares?

8.4

Very good opportunity for stay up to 1 week near (just opposite) the railway station and the boat and bus lines. More spacious rooms than usually found in Venice in that price rate class.

7.9

The location on the Grand Canal was excellent, as well as being close to the train and bus. The room was great as well.

9.7

There was some construction ongoing outside the hotel which started at 6am, but that wasn't the fault of the management. We loved Venice and the hotel. Staff was extremely helpful throughtout our stay.

9.1

Lovely Hotel, ideal for bus access from the Ple de Roma (not to far to haul your bag). Unfortunatley they were repairing the bank of the canal directly outside the hotel but this did not inconvenience us at all (noise, dust etc..)It seems everywhere we go we come across scaffolding and building work , but hey it has to be done. Would stay there again, the hotel room was lovely and the bathroom gorgeous. (this was a grand canal view room)
