Hotel Centauro - Venice

7.1

The Centauro is a simple, traditional type of mid-range hotel. This was my first time in Venice and I guess that you pay high prices for location, location, location. I can't complain about the location as it's 5 minutes walk from the Rialto Bridge and if you are short on time, this location is excellent. The breakfast was included and was good. I'd recommend this hotel for it's location definitely. We had a room overlooking a canal which can be a bit noisy early in the morning as the bin collectors (i.e. by boat) are at work but it's all part of the atmosphere. There is no lift but staff did offer to lug our cases to our room on the 2nd floor.

9.5

Great location right in the middle of Venice (reflected in the price tag). Easy walk to St Marc's Square and various other sites and water ferry stops. Excellent restaurants very close (try Rossa Rosa).

7.3

A good hotel. The location is very good. Venice is a confusing place and we took the advice of others by taking a water taxi from the railway station - a good move. It cost 70 euros. The rooms are clean and functional but not large. The "canal view" was from a small window onto a small canal, but we were pleased to have the view and the fresh air. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful on many levels and really enhanced our visit. Breakfast was fine - not a big spread, but just enough to get you going. The hard boiled eggs were welcomed, but tended to run out. The breakfast room was lovely but cramped, and that was about all as far as public areas are concerned - nowhere else to relax apart from the small bed rooms.

8.7

The only thing I would mention is that its down the small passage off the square. A great hotel, we had a wonderful experience.

8.8

The room and the bathroom were really small, but also atmospheric, the breakfast-room was fantastic and for Italy the breakfast was above standard

8.8

Nice staff, clean room with airconditioner and small tv. Good breakfast in the morning in large dining room with balcony looking over canals.

8.2

We booked a twin room with channel view and were very satisfied. Some other rooms have a view to the wall of next building only, in a distance of 1m ! If you want to avoid such very dark room, ask for channel view room. The breakfast buffet offers everything for a good day's start. The hotel is charming in Venice style and the guests we met were corresponding with that in a pleasant way. Note: there is no elevator. We arrived via vaporetto boat at Rialto station. Foot walk is about 400 m and not a problem. The hotel rate may appear some high, but consider the high costs of maintenance and transportation. The location is ideal. You can reach Marco Piazza in 10-15 minutes as well as Rialto bridge.

9.1

This is a great little hotel! Very well priced (extreamly well priced!), in a great location five mins from the Rialto Bridge or St. Marco square so you get the best of both worlds. The rooms are small and basic but the location is fantastic and the staff really friendly. Breakfast is good too. So don't expect the Hilton but as a basic well located cheap hotel this is hard to beat.

10

This was a beautiful hotel, very convenient to the main sights of Venice. The room was to die for, and, while, for example, the stairs were a bit slopey, it's all part of the charm of staying in Venice. The staff were very helpful.

8.6

When we arrived at the hotel for our room, they told us our room needed repairs and a very friendly young man walked us through the confusing streets of Venice to other accomodations. they put us in a beautiful, antique filled, marble bathroom suite that was several blocks away (confusing blocks for me as there were ten turns and a bridge between the two places) for one night. It was not convenient to move back, but they also upgraded us to a suite in the regular hotel and they were very friendly about the whole thing. This hotel could be a little hard to find. We missed it three times because the street the hotel is on seems like a small alley that could not possibly house a hotel, but it does. We never ate at the hotel because there as so many options in Venice. The AC worked very well.

9.3

Great place to stay once you find it (a little difficult with the Venice streets). Staff is very friendly and helpful.

8.8

Very friendly staff and lovely place (original palazzo), so there's no elevator in that historical venecian buildung, not for disabled people, but where else in venice it's easy for them?, breakfast room is soooo nice with beautiful view, delicious breakfast for an italian breakfast (warm croissants e.g.), compared price to other central hotels in venice but this one is the best in price-quality-relation, would/will return def!

10

Very nice staff! Excellent breakfast, central location but very quite! Easy to find if you follow the instruction.

6.1

Our first night was great. We had an airy room with plenty of light. We were on the canal and saw all the boats and gondolas. They had to move us the second night. It was a dark and stuffy room. Considering that there is no elevator, it would have been nice to give us a room for both nights. Especially, since the second room was more money.

6.0

Given it is Venice, prices are more expensive. Also we stayed the night after a big festival with fireworks. Prices for the Saturday stay were outrageous. Sunday was reduced but still expensive for the quality of the hotel. Location is excellent; in San marcos, within walking distance from the major sights. Pictures on website make it seem nicer than it is in person. Seemed pretty clean overall. Breakfast was just ok. We just stayed one night so it was adequate for what we needed. Staff was very accommodating-they let us check out later and leave our luggage until we left that evening on a night train.

8.4

It was a very good hotel and excellent in term of ratio: price/quality.

5.0

The staff was very helpful but the hotel was really hard to find - not easy when you a lugging suitcases.

9.1

We spent our 5th wedding anniversary in Venice and Hotel Centauro was perfect. We had a superior canal view room, which was lovely. The staff were helpful, especially Frank who booked us a local restaurant for our anniversary and it was wonderful! Thank you. Hotel is in a great location, easy walking distance to main square.

7.9

Good price-quality for Venice. Great location on a quiet alley and nice staff at the hotel. No lift and old, a bit wobbly stairs. Single room was tiny and dark, but quite elegant. Breakfast without any vegetables or warm dishes, but otherwise fine.

9.1

Hotel idéalement situé, à mi-chemin entre rialto et san marco, avec le charme d'un établissement venitien un peu ancien (1904). Trés calme. Certaines chambres sont petites mais trés hautes de plafond, ce qui apporte un plus pour le confort. Personnel trés sympathique. Certains parlent français. Seul reproche : le petit déjeuner est perfectible, et pas d'ascenseur. Mais le rapport qualité-prix est excellent. J'y suis allé 2 fois et j'y retournerai.

9.9

We dont have any complaints the staff were so helpfull , the room was out of this world ,we just want to go back as soon as possible.

9.8

bravo! J('ai bénéficié d'une superbe prestation dans l'ensemble, on m'a donné une grande chambre double avec bain alors que je n'avait réservé qu'une single à 70 euros la nuit§ Génial et très bien situé en plus! Petit déjeuner de rêve dans une pièce d'aparat typiquemen Vénitienne

8.8

We randomly picked the hotel Centauro from the Venere website. We were extremely happy with our choice, and for E100 p/night we had a one bedroom suite with 2 balconies overlooking one of the small canals. Request room #9, you won't be disappointed.

7.0

Hotel très bien placé, à quelques minutes à pied de la place St Marc et des vaporetti. Chambre propre et correcte. Personnel à la réception très accueillant. À noter cependant pour ceux qui aiment se lever plus tard que les chambres du coté canal peuvent être génées par le bruit du service de rammassage des déchets dès 8h du matin (pratiquement tous les jours de semaine). Par ailleurs le matelas de notre chambre méritait largement d'être remplacé.

8.9

We enjoyed our stay very much!! We were upgraded to a room with a bathroom, having booked a room with a share bathroom. The rooms were small, but very nicely decorated, and large enough to move around. Good value for money given the destination. Breakfast is nice, and the staff are incredibly helpful. Location is quite good, very very close to Rialto and the Grand Canal, and not far from San Marco either. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

8.3

Nous avons aimé : la situation de l'hôtel, bien centré dans Venise, la gentillesse et la compétence du personnel, la propreté de l'hôtel, chambre typique et confortable, accueil 24h/24, bon rapport qualité/prix Nous avons moins aimé : l'insonorisation des chambres (aspirateur à 7h du matin ou entendre le voisin se moucher...), mais l'hôtel est tout de même globalement très calme. La qualité des jus de fruits au petit déjeuner. La vue (en même temps, nous n'y étions que pour dormir) Attention: l'hôtel ne se situe pas calla dei fuseri comme indiqué, mais calla del Locande (panneau à moitié arraché), ruelle située entre la calla dei fuseri et campo Manin. Très bon hôtel, très bien situé, personnel très agréable, bref, il est à recommander !

7.5

The room was tiny and cramped, although we expected that in Venice. The window led out to an alley with little sunlight. The air conditioner was great, putting out cold air. The room had a sink, which we expected; we were told that the we would be the only ones using the bath and that was at the other end of a long hall! Breakfast was very good.

9.8

we were absolutely delighted with the quality and decor of this accommodation also the breakfast offered was good.we would recommend this hotel to anyone for comfort,cleanliness and convenience and would definitely stay there again.

10

Caters for everyone. I can't say anything bad about Hotel Centauro because I was completely satisfied!

4.5

The Hotel Centauro has an excellent staff that are very hospitable, warm and knowledgeable about the area. Unfortunately, my ratings reflect a hotel in Florence and NOT the Centauro which can't be modified on this site. So here is the real scoop: Fabulous breakfast choices in a beautiful room with a lovely balcony. Very clean hotel with information in the lobby for all sorts of things. No matter what time you come back to your room, you're always met with a smile. Ample towels, soap and shower gel. A fair price for a good room in a good location-- although the hotel is a bit hard to find, that is part of Venice's charm and once you get there it seems so simple to find. I would return their again and highly recommend this hotel.

3.3

Though very well located, the quality of room and services is quite poor for the price.

9.8

Great experience, the hotel was perfect and close to major vaporetto lines. The staff was extremely helpful

7.4

We had a very pleasant stay. It was well located and relatively easy to find. The breakfast was nice and varied. The staffs were helpful (We didn't know what time our ferry would depart on the next day and a staff was able to find out for us right away)

6.8

La ubicación del hotel es excelente, pero no tiene ascensor y tuvimos un cuarto en el tercer piso. Nadie ayudó a subir el equipaje.

7.8

just wanted to spend 1 night after my business trip in bologna and i was travelling alone.

7.4

An excellent place to stay, very friendly and helpful staff. Great location, just minutes away from the Rialto Bridge yet very peaceful.

9.2

Hôtel très bien situé (entre Rialto et St Marc), très bon accueil, chambre impeccable, petit-déjeuner copieux : j'y retourne sans hésiter.

9.3

Nice hotel.

5.9

the location was very good,the hotel was clean and the staff was good,however the price was too high for what you get /maybe because it was the easter weekend we payed 500 eur for 3 nights in a double superior room which was very small/,meaning the room is quite small

7.7

All'arrivo una piacevole sorpresa: dal momento che non c'erano più camere singole senza bagno (come quella da me prenotata) mi è stata assegnata una camera singola con bagno allo stesso prezzo. Personale alla reception cordiale e preparato. Stanza non spaziosissima, ma accogliente, pulita e silenziosa. Unico difetto: il riscaldamento sempre acceso al massimo. Colazione abbastanza completa e tutto sommato buona. Da notare negativamente però il succo di frutta annacquato: imbevibile! L'hotel è situato in centro a Venezia.

8.3

L'emplacement de l'hôtel Centauro faciite une visite à pied, de Venise, à l'exception des îles. L'accueil y est très chaleureux. MFLT

9.9

Charming character hotel, charming people. Single room small but cute n comfy. Centauro suitable for all but advisable to book ground/1st floor if less mobile. Service firstclass, breakfast great regardless of questionable coffee. Loved it, can't wait to returnh.

10

I am not that easy to please, but this was a fabulous hotel. I sincerely recommend the Centauro. The desk staff is amazing, always kind and ready to offer advice etc, the room with canal view was worth it. SO wonderful. Everything was clean, breakfast adequate, room beautifully decorated. We want to go back now! It was extra for the canal view, but as this was my first trip, a treat for my teenager, and for only 3 nights, it was truly worth it. Location is fab. Truly, they did not exaggerate.

9.4

small room (single, shared bathroom) and breakfast buffet a little poor, but small price also, good heating (February), nice staff and very good location

8.5

The 'double' bed was actually 2 singles pushed together with a big gap in the middle & ridiculously uncomfortable - not the best for a romantic weekend. Only entrance to hotel is on narrow calle which was flooded 3 days out of 5 - if going at times of acqua alta take your wellies! The down side of the lovely canal view was the noise of the rubbish barge at 6am - but a price worth paying

9.9

We were not disappointed with the Hotel Centauro. Staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Alessandro. Single superior room was very comfortable, breakfast was adequate, plenty of choice. Nice and convenient for Rialto and St Mark's area. A very pleasant stay and we would definitely stay there again. Thank you Venere - you have always been reliable booking agents.

8.9

This is the first time I have stayed at the Centauro and I will go again. I stayed in the single room without a bathroom, but his was located a few yards away and I was the only user. The room was a very small but I wasn't staying there all day. The breakfast was also excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

6.6

A small friendly hotel very difficult to locate, I had a detailed map from Google and still got lost. Good value, very good breakfast. My single room was very small and dark though bed was comfortable and shower good.

7.9

We stayed in a quad room which had single beds for the kids, a great bonus! Very high ceilings with fabric covered walls. Narrow window faced scaffolding and another wall but the fantastic view from the breakfast room made up for this. The bathroom was clean and modern including a bidet, to the kids amusement! The hairdryer was like a hoover in reverse, would take my own hairdryer if we went back. Breakfast was basic continental fayre, bread rolls, ham, cheese, salami, cereal, fruit, croissant and eggs but enough to get us started for the day. Location was excellent, just 5 mins walk to either St Marks Square or the Rialto Bridge. In all the hotel met our needs of price, comfort and location and I would be happy to return.

9.6

Need to update directions from vaparetto.

6.3

Nice welcome but a map would have been good. As a single traveller I had my trusty guide so I managed OK with that! Staff nice and friendly but wanting to have a coffee with breakfast at 07:35 was a bit too early!!! Sorry! Nothing but complaints so far ..... The location was great, very accessible!!

6.8

It was a nice clean hotel in a good location to see the sights. The staff was friendly. The room was small as I expected, but clean. The shared shower and bathroom was close and clean. It was somewhat overpriced, but perhaps not for Venice. Overall I was pleased and would stay there again if traveling alone.

6.7

Very central located hotel.

6.8

I was in Venice for four days travelling solo. The hotel was in an excellent location halfway between the Rialto and St Marco Piazza. It was very clean and had a nice breakfast room on the canal. I shared a bathroom/toilet which were very clean and caused me no problems. The bathroom was next door to my room and I was the only user. The price was reasonable for Venice in the tourist season and the breakfast was good.

10

Excellent choice for a stay in a hart of Venice! Just few steps from the Rialto. When I book my hotel in Venice I am always happy if they have a free room. Mini-bar is very cheap. Just one euro for a mineral water and 1.50 for a Coke. No elevator. Not for mature travelers, but for everyone else it is the right choice. Enjoy the hospitality of the great staff! It’s a 3stars hotel (with an elevator it would be 4+). In an overpriced Venice, a GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY.

8.6

My first time to Venice. Nice hotel. Very central yet in a quiet location. Reception staff were very helpful. Would stay here again

9.6

Clientele adressed by this Hotel: Young couple who wants to find a nice and quiet place, in the centre of Venice, not too expensive for a weekend or 3 - 4 days.

6.6

The hotel was a little tricky to find in the first instance,being new to the area. The room was clean and well maintained during my stay. The buffet breakfast provided was very nice but arriving at 0730 for breakfast so that I could get to the Accademia for 0815 (opening time) seemed to be too early, some foods were not available. The staff were very pleasant and informative although the offer of a map and hotel business card would have been nice and very useful. Overall a nice hotel, very accessible, quiet, clean and comfortable!

8.1

The room was a bit small - for the furniture and luggage - but it was very quiet - and offered a wonderful breakfast in the mornings.

6.0

Difficult to find at first from information sent but good central location. Friendly staff. Room small for a superior single and furnished sparsely but decor nice. Lovely dining room but no lounge to sit in.

10

Great Hotel with great room, Stayed in the suite and it was wonderful, very price worthy...perfect. When the only flaw is a little bit low water preasure in the sure it is not much negative to say. :) We really recommend this hotel to everyone and when i go back to Venice, I'll for sure stay here again.

9.1

Very well located to get to main sights either to walk or by vaporetto( the way to travel ). Hotel is in a quiet location. Easy to get to from Station (train or bus) - just make sure you get off at the main Rialatto stop AFTER the bridge not the one before - thats the market on the opposite side of canal. Well maintained property, very clean en-suite with plenty of hot water and pressure. Bedroom small but adequate, the bed was very comfortable and airconditionor included in price, there was also a mini fridge. All staff spoke adequate English and were well able to help the tourist. Breakfast was plentiful and varied. Overall great stay - no hesitation to return.

10

Excellent choise for your stay in a hart of Venice!

6.9

I arrival in hotel 1PM but my single room was not ready :(

8.5

Great location (5 mins walk from piazza San Marco) and not all that hard to find if you follow the venere directions closely. We were given a huge room including couch and extra bed, which was truly amazing given it was a venetian hotel! The value for money was the best I've ever come across in numerous trips to Europe, although the price we paid was about 1/3 of the official rate on the schedule on the back of the door. Very friendly staff and all aspects of the est were neat, tidy and clean. Main problem was that from about 8-10 am each morn there is a garbage barge positioned in the canal next to the hotel which creates a lot of noise. OK if you're an early riser I suppose. Also, the breakfast was rubbish, but we were happy to grab something at a cafe. Overall we were very satisfied with this hotel for the price.

3.6

I found the hotel to be in a perfect location, but was very dissapointed with the room itself. I thought the photographs and room description to be totaly misleading. we bought a room that should have had a " canal view" , but in fact did not, also the internal room photographs were misleading. the services in the hotel were good as were the staff.I have a large experience of hotels worldwide having travelled a lot on business and pleasure, so overall I felt that the quality of the room did not reflect in the price. I would stay again in this hotel, but in future would look to negotiate the price to a more suitable figure.

9.2

This was my first time in Venice and I loved it -- also this little hotel. It was close to Rialto and very easy to find while lugging suitcases over the cobblestones. I was warmly greeted and received excellent and polite service at all times. The room was not large, but clean and adequate, nicely renovated. Nice bathroom, again small but new and clean. Breakfast was not fabulous, but not bad either. I would highly recommend it, and would stay there again

9.6

An excellent find. We had no problem finding the hotel and were very satisfied with all aspects of our stay. The staff was very friendly. We booked a room with no bathroom and were upgraded to one with a bathroom at no additional charge which was a bonus. The breakfast had excellent variety and the rooms were cozy and clean. The hotel is very centrally located within walking distance to all of the main attractions!

1.6

Accueil très médiocre, chambres minuscules ne correspondant pas à la description du site, emplacement glauque au fond d'une impasse, pas de vue, "balcons" donnant sur des toits et sans aucune vue, prix exhorbitants (220 euros). J'ai perdu 220 euros(une nuit de réservation) et ai trouvé dans le même quartier un hôtel 4 étoiles 25% moins cher. CENTAURO à éviter absolument !!

9.5

I really enjoyed my stay in Venice. The Hotel was great and very central. Many thanks.

8.8

I actually booked a room with a shared bathroom to cut costs, but upon arrival, the receptionist was nice enough to offer us a better room at only a 15 euro per night upgrade. The room was lovely. Very clean! nice bathroom facilities. Although very small, the room was twice as high and had beautiful wood ceiling beams and brocade wallpaper. This hotel was quite near St.Marks square and the central tourist area, and a perfect place to get anywhere on foot. We enjoyed our weekend stay at the Centauro and would recomend it to anyone who wants to stay in Venice on a budget, but still insists on quality! Very friendly and helpful staff!!

6.6

We have been moved to another hotel "Hotel Dell'Opera Venezia" so we have not been accomodated in the Centauro Hotel". We have been notified of the move when we arrived at the Centauro because of "the roof leaking in our rooms after rainning". We would have appreciated to be notified before reaching the Centauro. The new hotel is brand new and rooms are nice. However, our rooms at the third floor were close to the kitchen and very noisy early in the morning (from 7 to 9 AM). When checking out we were charged an extra 2 Euros for a bottle of water we had bought in a shop and stored in the fridge of our room. We said so but had to pay: this is not very fair compared to a 880 Euros bill ...

8.6

The hotel was a little difficult to find but worth it. Our room was on the canal and the view was great. The sound of gondola passing by with acordian and singing was very romantic.

6.1

The room was quite small but did come with a small terrace where we could sit and chat. No elevator and no porters to help us with our luggage to the top floor was a bit dissapointing. The staff in the breakfast room were simply not interested the day we stayed there. I am sure (or hope) that they are more attentive usually. The fact that I love Venice means i will return, but will try another hotel next time as i always do.

8.2

The hotel is fine. Good location but a little bit hard to find. The breakfest is quite complete.

8.3

the hotel is very good.is a bit awkward to find.the room was not very big,but very clean.breakfast was good. staff was helpfull.value for money!!!

7.2

Former masion to you missing some improvements, the bathroom too small and little space in the rooms

10

It´s a very nice and quiet hotel to stay. The Staff are very friendly and qualified. The Breakfast is in relationship to other venetian hotels sensational. If you want to visit Venice book the Centauro. You´ll have no regrets. And to Venere.com: Thx for all

8.0

It would have been nice if the staff had offered to help my sister and me drag our suitcases up the three flights of stairs.

6.4

Good location. When you are in Venice the hotel room is not that important!

8.6

Very central located hotel, very quiete. We had clean rooms and a good breakfest. Nice stay.

6.7

I made our reservation in August and when we arrived at the hotel in the pouring rain we were told that they were full and they had booked us a room off another square. Back out in the pouring rain we went to walk to the other hotel which was nice. I will tell you this place is difficult to find. We ended up in Manin Sq. only to walk around this sq. and not find the place. Hint, there is a bank with a narrow and I mean narrow street that dead ends. Take that street and it's near the end on the right. We didn't stay there but the place they put us in was nice. One square over where the Burger King is.

9.4

Our stay was first class great room very central to everything 5 mins walk to piazza san marco minibar pricing was excellent so nice not to be ripped off!Excellent value, quiet will definitely return!!

9.8

Very conveniently located between Rialto and San Marco, very welcoming - we would definitely go again. We recommend Andrea Zanin patisserie on Campo S Luca around the corner!

9.5

room is beautiful staff is very nice and heklpful difficult top findo, like everything in venice. good location. worth the price.

7.2

I would recommend: Location, Location Location. Help desk is very accommodating to my comfort. Bring your own alarm clock: Wake-up calls not reliable. Price is very good. Breakfast is very well provided selection.

8.6

is an exellent options to stay in Venice.

8.7

I spent four nights at the Centauro in early November, and my stay was part of an overall great experience. The hotel is off the Campo Manin, down a little alleyway opposite the statue, about 5 minutes from the Rialto and slightly more to St. Marks. The room was small, but had everything I needed - a comfortable bed, a wardrobe with enough hangers, good lighting, and even a reasonably-priced minibar, and it was always scupulously clean. The view was limited - across an alleyway to a blank wall, but I didn't spend much time there in daylight. Staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were excellent, with a good choice at the buffet, from fresh rolls and croissants, cereals, ham, cheese, boiled eggs and fruit and yogurt. The area where the hotel is hasn't much for tourists, but it's so central to the area that it made a good base for lots of wandering around Venice. I will be back!

7.8

entrance difficult to find initially. conveniently located to shops, pleasant restaurants just off Campo Manon. very pleasant breakfast room.

8.6

Very centrally located. Rialto, Piazza San Marco and most of the sights within walking distance. Good breakfast, helpful stuff. Good value for money if you remember that you are in Venice

6.3

we took the room with seperate bathroom(not shared with anyone else), not na issue to us considering the price was way cheaper thna the other rooms. Breakfast was ok, as said before no hot food.Staff were ok, pleasant enough. excellent central location. Only issue was we asked for a wake up call and wasnt given one, the blearyeyed desk jockey did not even offer an apology, (VERY rude), the only spoiler for us. o/wise would use again.

9.2

me encanto el hotel, es tal cual uno lo ve en Venere, muy buena la atencion, fuimos con mi marido y volveriamos felices, esta super bien ubicado y llegar es facil, esta a dos paradas de la linea 82 de vaporetto (rialto) desde la estacion de trenes, y a 5 minutos caminando de la plaza San Marcos. nuestra habitacion estaba al lado del comedor pero aun asi no fue ruidosa. todo estaba impecable lo unico que cambiaria es la calidad del desayuno, solo mejorando el jugo de fruta andaria mejor. lo recomiendo de todas maneras.

7.8

The Centauro is a very pleasant hotel close to Rialto and San Marco Square. The staff were really friendly and helpful and I recommend it.

8.5

Really enjoyed my stay here, and would certainly use the same hotel. Breakfast choice very good.

8.4

The front desk was quite helpful and friendly. The room was small but very pleasant. We really enjoyed our stay. Having a room right on then canal was quite romantic and special.

9.2

The gentleman at check-in was very friendly and helpful. He gave us great suggestions for a lovely dinner at Hosteria Galileo, which was right around the block. The hotel is down a narrow,dark alley so it was a little difficult to find, especially with the directions.

7.9

We were traveling with another couple who had never been to Europe. Our trip mostly featured small towns in Italy, Switzerland, and Austria, and our only large city was Venice, which earned a stay on our trip due to its unique characteristics as an island city laced with canals. The rooms in Hotel Centauro were elegant, with 12-foot high ceilings and lots of colorful brocade. The young lady at the reception desk was particularly helpful. The breakfast buffet was excellent.

7.0

I was very upset that our bathroom was quite a way down the hall and we were not told this when we booked. We expected that "private bathroom" meant a bathroom in the room. This should be disclosed to future guests.

7.9

I had made two reservations; one for Howard DeVore and one for Eli Blickenstaff. I had to cancel the first set of reservations, but then remade then a few days later. When we arrived at the hotel, they did not have the reservation for DeVore....showed us that it had been cancelled, even though Mrs. DeVore had her confirmation in hand. Fortunately, there was a room available, but not the canal view the DeVores had requested.

6.7

Overall experience was very good. Our room was quite large and had a window that overlooked the canal which was nice. However, this also made it a little noisier - food was delivered and garbage was hauled away early in the morning. The breakfast was very basic but ok. Its also difficult to find. The street its located on what looks like a deadend alley and there is no sign that's visable in the square or from the street. You have to be standing right in front of the door.
