Hotel Doni - Venice

8.0

It was rather cold and humid inside the room because of cold weather (10-12 C in october)

8.5

Room No. 6 quite modest, with bathrooom, heather did not work, but they probably did not stars a heathing season. Venice is so expensive, so 65 euro (for single) is very competitive price. I recommend room 8 (double) much much spacious. Location excellent!

5.4

Venice is expensive, so that is the first thing to remember. The hotel is old and shows its age (all 100 plus years). The single room is very small with sink and very loud hot water heater (sounded like a tea kettle half the time). The toilet was one floor down as was the shower, but never had to wait. Floors were not carpeted, so cleaner, but you heard every sound of the others staying there. Very nice staff and OK breakfast. Great location and close to all the sites.

7.3

Room very very small, coffee very bad, but little quite hotel, bath really clean and kindness of employees

8.0

The hotel is located close to attractions but a bit far from Rialto Bridge. It was not easy to find this hotel. The hotel is small but cosy. There is no lift there which is not good enough. But the hotel reception staff helped me with my luggage. The room was on the last top floor. Not noisy. Windows faced a romantic canal and I felt like in fairy-tale. The shared shower on the other floor was ok. The staff was helpful and friendly, especially the night reception staff. I got some tips as to sightseeing, boat transportation, etc. The only thing is that I needed pressing service which they did not have. Anyway it was a pleasant and nice accommodation.

9.4

L'hôtel Doni est tout à fait charmant, calme et très bien situé. Ma chambre était petite mais suffisante pour une personne seule et je n'y passais pas la journée ! Literie impeccable. Sanitaires communs très propres. Surtout, accueil sympathique et serviable, à toute heure — et francophone le matin. Deux bémols : pas d'accès internet, et peut-être le petit déjeuner pourrait-il être plus varié ? Néanmoins, rapport qualité/prix fort correct, une adresse que je recommande.

8.3

I spend with my 15 years old daughter 2 nights at Toni. We had great time. Good location if you visit Venice Biennale. Quiet place but few steps away you are in the middle of the tourist jam. Nice hotel stuff. It is not the cheapest place but Venice is unreasonably expensive.

9.0

It is a pretty small hotel in a very centre of Venice, just 3 min.of walk to San Marco and a watertram station. Very friendly and helpful Englishspeaking personal! A shared bathroom and a toilet which are on the same flore with your room, but it is not a problem. There are a wash-stand and a urinal in every room. The breakfast is simple, but sufficient. The rooms are spacious enough with a rather big bed. I could recommend this hotel,it's a nice place at a reasonable price!

8.6

Great location. Clean and updated bathroom. Room was very spacious. Lighting was dim and could use a paint job. Overall was fine. Clean, quiet and nice bathroom. Other thoughts: We did find a lot nicer place in Florence for 30 E less a night.

7.3

very nice hotel, just in the center, perfect place, poor breakfast

7.9

Single room was very small, but very good location of hotel and price was quite good. Staff very friendly and helpful.

9.9

We enjoyed a wonderful 4 days at the Hotel Doni. The property is a family run, 17th century place! The room was very spacious and clean, the location is right in the center of San Zaccharia and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We will certainly come back for our next trip to Venice!

9.0

I enjoyed my stay very much. It was really nice to be greeted by name. At all times the staff were friendly and helpful. Unbeatable location, especially for single woman. I did not have to go far to the concert at night. Decent enough rooms and bathrooms.

8.2

Centrally located in San Marco Square(great location). Great hotel for the money. Staff very friendly and helpful. I would recommend anyone to stay at this hotel.

6.8

Best thing about the Doni is the location. So convenient to St. Marks, but on a pretty quiet canal with gondolas floating by. Our first night we were in a small room on the second floor, shared bath in the hall (as we had booked). The room was tiny and totally outdated, but kind of charming in slightly ratty way. However the room looked out onto a property next door which was undergoing really major renovations (loud dusty, totally unpicturesque).We politely requested a room change and were told a new room would be available the next morning. As promised we were upgraded to a much larger room on the top floor with private bath and two windows looking out onto a typical little courtyard. No extra charge! Remember it pays to ask. This room was great, everything you could want in a one star. Granted it hadn't been redecorated since the 50s, but that just added to the charm. Clean over all, wood floors were gleaming though the bathroom was musty smelling as to be expected in such a damp climate. Skipped the breakfast as I always do in such places... Much better to get fresh espresso and pastry in a bar for a few euro. Staff was nice, only disappointment was when we asked the young girl at the desk to recommend a non touristy seafood restaurant. Following her advice landed us at generic looking spot which though it was off the beaten track, had a huge sign advertising tourist menu and a very high service charge and few seafood options. Desk agent gave us a hotel biz card to pass to our waiter, so probably the hotel gets a kick back for all diners sent their way. We dined elsewhere-- highly recommend Osteria Ca d'oro alla vedova. Overall like the Doni-- but try to get one of the larger upper level rooms with private bath.

8.6

El desayuno es escaso y el café de baja calidad.

8.8

We stayed for 3 nights here. We were very pleased with the accommodation (small, but nice and clean). And very close to St. Marco Square. We'll recommend it to whoever wants to visit Venice

9.2

we stayed in a charming little chamber in an old house with a little kitchen in the room near the Hotel Doni. For us it was very nice and the breakfast was simple but very good (mmh, Mortadella...). And of course everybody was nice!

7.6

Charmant petit hotel très bien situé, à 2 pas de la place St Marc, chambre un peu vieillote mais finalement c'est un peu ce que l'on vient chercher dans ce type d'hotel. Acceuil très sympathique de plus en francais. Petit bémol, le petit déjeuner sans grand choix.

10

Hôtel très sympa pour un WE prolongé Tout s'est très bien passé

8.0

We liked the big breakfasts, the great location and the staff friendliness and helpfulness. Arriving late was no problem and we were made to feel very welcome. I would recommend the Doni to all first time visitors to Venice.

7.9

We stayed at the annex bulding of Hotel Doni, very close to the hotel. It was nice, large apartment, without cleaning services...but this was no problem and we enjoyed our stay very much.

4.9

Hi we were staying in venice for two nights the locatiopn of the hotel was ideal very close to main square. Although our actual room was in a seperate annexe down the road from the m ain hotel. We felt a little isolated in this sense, the room was standard a little dull, but had kitchen facilities and seperate bathroom which was clean and shower worked well apart from the cubicle was just enough space to stand in. We had a few problems on our first night with ouir radiator blowing up, but the staff were helpful and took it upon themselves to reduce the rate of our room for the inconvenience that was caused. I didnt think much of teh breakfast and personally would have gone without and got the room cheaper to be honest...a few bread rolls, cereal and ham/ juices and tea. On the whole it was fine but i wouldnt stay there again just as i think i would like to be staying somewhere close to staff if there was a problem again/ have a conceierge nearby.

9.7

Outstanding ! The appartment we got was hudge, quiet and with a nice view on a small canal...we could enjoy the magic atmosphere of Venice in full, sitting on the small balcony and watching the gondole passing by.....The kitchen with full facilities allows guests to do the cooking if they feel like enjoying the magic athomosphere of Venice at night with a self-made (or heaten-up) dinner Staff (multilingual) was just perfect. My only suggestion to the managment : if you could add some fruit or yoghut to the breakfast buffet, it would be great. By the way the salami served was excellent, thank You,

8.9

We really like the hotel with its location and friendliness of the stuff. Rooms were also nice. The only thing I can complain that the breakfast was poor. But anyway for this price in Venice, it is good enough.

8.8

A little bit cold in hotel, but in the room it was OK, just the heater was very noisy. Toilet and bathroom was shared with others.

8.7

Staff very friendly and helpful. Ideally located near St Marc. Room were clean. But shared shower didn't work very well. Break fast included simple but very useful in Venezia where everything is out of price.

8.7

Location is excelent! Very quiet, and close to the main attractions in Venice. Staff is very helpful. Breakfast very good and the room is OK. Highly recommend!!

9.6

Great location! Nice and helpful staff. We got the nice room in the front, so you can see and hear the operatic singers go by on the gondolas. Very close to St. Mark's square and short walk over to the Rialto bridge. Kind of wish we had gotten the room with the private bathroom, but the wait for the shared shower room wasn't too bad. Oh, and when you go down Calle del Vin from the water bus, make sure you take a left when you hit the courtyard (open area) where the street seems to end. You'll end up walking alongside the canal which leads you right in front of the hotel. We made a right and got lost for a bit :-). Great value for the price!

9.3

excellent hotel with everything you could wish for at a very reasonable price

9.7

At the beginning my boyfriend and I were scare of what we were going to find because the prices were very good but when we arrive we were so surprised and so happy. The location is amazing! the staff of the hotel is very nice and polite, the breakfast is good, is an old hotel but very well care, the first night we didnt have courtains so we couldnt sleep but for our surprise they put it the night after, they were painting them so after that they look brand new. We had our own toilett and it was new and very clean. The only thing bad was that every time the main door open we could hear it in our window but anyways I loved our hotel, definitely i would stay again at Doni and i completely recommended.

2.8

It was clean and tidy. The pillows were like rocks and having to share the bathroom was horrible especially considering the price. Breakfast was from 8.30 and they would not accomodate us having to have breakfast earlier due to travel.

9.6

my window was facing the gondolier's "station" they were shouting and singing up to 2 at night :)

8.3

Hotel Doni is located right next to a canal with gondolas passing by. We could look down and watch listen to the serenade. The map was accurate...but watch the water bus stops carefully... locations have changed from what the hotel indicated... especially upon leaving. We looked carefully and determined there had been a change and thus did not make an error. Don't be afraid to ask for assistance people are quite friendly and the ticket booths at the bus stops are great for info. Hotel Doni is quaint, old and quite nice. You share a bathroom and we had to hike up 2 narrow flights with our bags..not a big deal if you are strong and in shape, rooms are clean and neat... No A/C but we didn't need it due to the overhead fan and cool nights. Breakfast was traditional European.. Not very hardy but nice. Lots to see and do in Venice and this location is perfect. Everything is expensive but our room was moderate in price thus permitting us to do more...use the water bus and not the taxi's, gondolas are very pricey so think twice. Go to Lido it's a fun island...

8.4

I think it depends on the season, you'll get mosquito bites at night.

8.5

Great location right near St. Mark's Sqaure, okay breakfast included, spacious room, friendly and helpful staff, quiet area.

8.1

We had a nice stay at hotel Doni and appreciate the staffs help and cooperation during and before our stay there. They put us in the canal facing room as per our request.

9.0

Fantastic experience! The location is great (couple of minutes walk from Piazza San Marco), the staff are super helpful and accommodating, the rooms are very clean, and ours even had a view of the canal! The whole atmosphere really transports you back a few centuries, which is wonderful in a place like Venice. Even the breakfast buffet was alright... not great, but good enough for a budget hotel, and far better than the spartan dry-bread-and-jam selection you get at many other B&B's in this price range. Overall we would highly recommend this hotel! It might not be the cheapest, but you can't beat the location and the atmosphere at this price!

7.1

I only stayed 1 night, so the location of the hotel was important - and this was perfect: close to the Piazza and restaurants but on a quiet back street. My single room was quite stuffy, dated and WARM. :-/ Another drawback: there's only ONE shared shower. The breakfast was plenty and the staff friendly and laid back. Overall: uncomplicated and recommendable.

9.9

emplacement idéal dans le centre de Venise,au bord d'un canal, personnel super sympa, charmant hôtel que je recommande vivement.

7.0

Stayed at the Doni my last 3 nights in Venice. The rooms were small, but this would have to be the main complaint of my stay there. The staff was very courteous and helpful with helping me find various sites around the city. The continental breakfast was very satisfying, and the decor of the hotel was very personable. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

4.7

The hotel is situatet in great localization. Quite cheap as per Venice, but it's very noisy (when somebody in the roon upon mine gets up I've to get up too...). I was in Venice for 2 days, so all I needed was a place to leave my luggage and a bed too sleep. I've spend wonderfull time over there, and that's only what counts.

9.0

Friendly and helpful staff, clean room and bathroom

8.0

I had a room with shared bathroom and toilet, everything very clean. Very friendly and helpful staff at the family run hotel. Location just 3 minutes walk away from "Marcus Square". Breakfast was more than I actually expected from a "typical" Italian breakfast (coffee, tea, milk, fruit juice, bread, butter different types of marmalade, muesli, etc.)! I would stay at the hotel again! Thanks very much for the warm welcome and greetings to the staff!

8.7

noise of loos at night made sleeping difficult at first. Otherwise everything was great - made to feel very welcome, room clean and spacious, service excellent. great location, excellent value for money

6.2

This was an excellent location. As it was shared bathrooms they tended to get very busy and sometimes had to wait a long time for a shower at peak times.

3.0

Hotel wasnt easy to find, you'll need a map as the street is tiny and obscured. Great location, 2 minute walk to San Marco Piazza and about 10 minutes to Rialto Bridge. Room was very old and pretty, however there is no internet access, no television and the bedding and pillows are like concrete. As the hotel is so old, it's floorboards are very creaky. If anyone walked within 15 metres of our room, the whole room would shake and rattle. It was very annoying. Staff were friendly enough I suppose, but overall the Hotel was not worth the 75 euro a night we paid for it

10

It was the first time we stayed in a hotel in the centre of Venice. The hotel has a nice canal view, you can watch the gondolas passing under your window. The St Mark Square is 2 minutes' walk so you can easily reach the heart of the city as well.

9.2

The hotel was in a perfect location. Just off the grand canal and one vaporetto stop away from San Marco which is great because it's less crowded. The room was small but quiet and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

8.1

Hotel is simple and quiet and cheap. Room was good, bed was not too old, breakfast was "continental" (understand bread, butter, marmelade and italian nutela, juice,coffee and tee). If I want to stay 2 weeks with kids then it is probably not a good place, but for a couple who want to spend weekend in Venice it is very good place. Just shared bathroom and toilets on corridor are not very pleasant (even thought it was clean and functional). Steep stairs might cause difficulties to elderly people.

7.4

Very close to St Marks, and many vaporetta stations. Gondolas parked in the canal outside so great fun watching them being prepared for the day each morning. Loads of cheap cafes and shops nearby - all in all a good place to stay in Venice if you're on a tight budget.

9.4

Para todos los que necesiten una gran ubicación a unos pasos de la plaza de San Marcos, cuartos muy cómodos y limpios, baño completo(en el caso de requerirlo), y una excelente atención, sin lugar a dudas Doni es la mejor opción.

9.0

In the breakfast-room it was pretty cold, we felt cold during the breakfast although we wore a jumper. (End of februrary)

8.3

The staff of the hotel was just wonderful! We really enjoyed staying in this family-style hotel!

7.4

Room was cold

9.5

The hotel has an excellent location, a short walking distance from San Marco square and the S. Zaccaria vaporetto stop. By vaporetto, we were able to explore nearby islands. We used vaporetto to get to the airport for a very early morning flight, leaving at 3:44 am, journey taking about an hour, but the cost is far more reasonable by vaporetto than by water taxi. The hotel staff were extremely helpful in finding out the schedule, which had just changed a few days before. Whenever we had questions about how to reach a place, the staff were great. Breakfast was included and we appreciated not having to go out and search for a place to eat. Somehow more relaxing to eat "at home" rather than walking the streets. The hotel is on a canal. Although there were renovations going on in the adjoining building which made for some early morning noise, we believe this was not the usual situation and otherwise, the hotel would be very quiet. Can't emphasize enough the value of the hotel's location.

7.1

This is a good place to stay in Venice that is close to a lot of tourist attractions and is very easy to find. The rooms are simple, no frills hotel but I would stay again if on a budget or just for night of two.

6.8

It's small but the rooms are very quaint, with old renaissance wallpaper patterns, art deco-ish furniture...it's like staying at your grand grandmother's room.

7.0

Hotel "Doni" is a very nice Venetian Albergo. The place, where you can find is really good. The people are friendly and competent.

7.4

The website acurately described the services and depicted the hotel well. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a larger room in the back of the hotel which was a bit noisy in the evenings and in the morning when the local merchants were starting work. No air conditioning, but it was actually chilly and rainy when we were there a few nights in August! It could have been much worse if it had been hot. The bathroom in our room was TINY, but clean, with a private shower. The location was PERFECT! A stone's throw from St. Mark's and the Palazzo Ducale. Restaurants in the area are tourist traps-way overpriced. Seek alternative eateries wherever possible. The Doni is overpriced for the amenities it offers, but the location is optimal which explains the pricing. We would mostlikely stay there again when on a budget. The Doni is a great location for mid-range needs, i.e. cleanliness, safety, convenience. Overall a great experience.

4.0

there was only one shower on the first floor, which it seemed most people in the hotel were sharing. It's pretty expensive for the quality of the rooms, but we booked last minute and didnt have much choice. would not stay here again.

7.3

The atmosphere of Hotel Doni was just ideal for our trip to Venice! There was a little canal that ran right in front of the hotel with gondolas passing through singing Italian opera. Fantastic scenery for summer! Doni was steps from San Marco, but hidden away from the huge tourist population. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The only downfall was the bathrooms which could have been more cleanly and welcoming, even though they had to be shared. Breakfast was also disappointing with no fresh fruit to offer.

7.4

Gondolier serenades are not so attractive after the first day. Location is excellent. Breakfast is poor, with the only bad coffee I've ever had in Italy!

9.4

We had a very pleasant, spacious room, with a sink, a bidet, and a very comfortable bed. The ceiling fan kept us cool at night. Our window overlooked a patio belonging to the building next door. Unfortunately, that building was being refurbished, so we had some bothersome construction noise in the mornings and afternoons (at nap time), but most rooms at Doni overlook other areas (canal or garden patio). The ground floor bathroom needs some work (the shower head should be replaced), but all other bathroom areas were excellent & all were clean. The breakfast is acceptable (plain rolls, butter, jam, 'nuttella'-type chocolate spread, cereal, coffee, "fruit flavored drink"). And finally, the location can't be beat: right by the San Zaccaria vaporetto stop (next to San Marcos). Very handy for catching the Alilaguna boat to or from the airport. The people at the hotel were very kind and helpful. We would stay here again.

6.7

The Hotel is situated quite close to the main center. Its good for those who are looking for both comfort and some economic stay. I reached late night at 12 and the kind man helped me a lot with my queries.

3.3

my husband and i had a room that was ok, but our friends room was horrible, the wall paper loose at all the seams, the mattress was terrible, the view from their window was a construction site. we stated it would be ok if our friends and us had two double rooms with a shared bath but we understood it was between us and not the whole floor community bath and toliet. i would never stay at this hotel again, even if it was free!!!!!!

9.1

Friendly and helpful welcome; excellent location for sightseeing, charming old house; i'll definitely stay at Doni again.

8.1

There is no doubt that The Doni is on the cheaper end of the Venice Hotel scale. But what you get for the money is really good. I checked with other nearby hotels and they may offer slightly better furniture but at twice the price. I paid €55/night for a single with shared bath. What a great deal it is. In addition, the staff is very, very nice and welcoming. And the location can't be beat, 75m from the vaporetto stops at San Zaccharia. My room looked out onto a plant filled courtyard. It was very tranquil and relaxing. Bathroom situation was o.k. except for two things. My room was on the 2nd floor and one has to go up or down one flight of stairs to the toilet or shower. The second item was that the 1st floor toilet backed up. Staff quickly signposted the WC as "out of order" on my last night there but it was still broken the next morning as I departed. If you are scared to share a bathroom, spend €100+ more to get a private one. Doni is a good place overall.

6.4

Well we got this the day before we were to arrive. We had another place in venice booked already and wanted to arrive early. For the location and last minute price I was happy. The rooms only have twin beds thats to bad especially in Venice (romance). We had bathroom in hall but a sink in room and as rooms go in Europe this was fine. Not quiet but we were there to see sights. Location a short walk to St Mark's Square, right off water short walk from vaparotto bus, but get better dirctions, or you'll walk all day. Breakfast ok, hard rolls and average coffee. We were out early and out all day sightseeing. Be careful with pricing at restaurants. Really read menus and check the 12% added and sitting fee it can add up, there are places that include it in the touristic menus. Murano was nice and had a great meal there. Actually got home and realized I didn't buy enough in Venice!

5.9

Pretty basic and costly for the size of room, but the location so close to Piazza San Marco is excellent so you probably can't complain. Room was very clean and staff friendly.

9.9

When I requested a triple room with one double bed and one single, I never expected to get to spend three nights in a Venetian flat... but that's exactly what happened. The staff at Albergo Doni gave my cousins and me a two bedroom apartment with kitchen, bath, and living/dining room, and our stay there couldn't have been more pleasant. Breakfast was included, and the staff were helpful, knowledgeable, and kind at offering advice for planning our days in Venice. If I ever get the chance to go to Venice again, I'll definitely stay at Albergo Doni!

8.5

It will be interesting to provide a more detailed map to find the hotel.

9.0

Doni is situated in the centre of Venice just around the corner of some really nice restaurants and the piazza st marco! You can walk to everything you like, or just take a waterbus at the bustop around the corner! The personell running the hotel are truly very helpful and very nice! I really enjoyed my stay and will surely get back here at least once!

7.1

We have stayed in the Doni before and will do so again, but a few comments are in order. The location is excellent and easy to reach by vaporetto. Our room, a double with bath, was clean and enormous, but extremely poorly lit - if you plan to do any night reading, look elsewhere. There is no elevator, which might be an issue for some people. Also, the breakfast was minimal, far below the standard we've found elsewhere in Italy. If you stay here, look for restaurants away from the center; they're cheaper and the quality is better.

9.9

i really enjoyed my stay in Doni which offered me the most reasonable price and very very comfortable room. the location is one of the best just around san marco square with a good view of canals. the receptionist is very very friendly and natural. if i had more chances to visit venezia, definitely i would like to stay there.

6.8

The hotel was extremely basic and very old fashioned but cheap to stay in relative to the prices of accomodation elsewhere in Venice. There was 1 bathroom facility on each floor for which guests had to share. To be fair the communal bathroom was reasonably clean however there was a queue in the mornings to use it which was a pain. The hotel location was excellent right in the centre of venice and within walking distance off all attractions. If you are the sort of person who is chiefly concerned with price and views a hotel as somewhere to just sleep at night and nothing else then Doni would be a good choice.

9.6

It is the third time that we my husband and I)stayed at the hotel, the other times being some time in the mid 90s. We find this hotel to be extremely convenient mainly because of its situation so central in Venice and in a very nice area. The people are very welcoming, the breakfast excellent. In summer it is extremely nice. This time (at Christmas) we found the room rather cold, but we got used to it and found that it did not really matter as we spent most of the time outside. The bedding is warm and at night there was no problem. We would certainly consider returning to Hotel Doni.

8.6

My stay at the Doni was great. For some reason the web site only offered rooms with a shared bath, but after making the reservation I called and got one with a private for very little extra. The place is clean and well located, and the price was right. For less that 100 euros in november I had a clean and spacious double room with bathroom and a window that looked out a small canal. Absolutly can't complain.

8.9

Very nice hotel.Room very clean and as described on the web. Really close to P.zza san Marco and Vaporetto stops. I'll be back again in Hotel Doni!!!

10

The location of this hotel could not have been any better! It had a convenient vaporetto stop nearby which made travel from the airport and around Venice a breeze. There was only one small bridge I had to conquer with luggage. It was a short two minute walk to Piazza San Marco. The hotel was set right next to a small canal which my window opened up to. This was awesome because throughout the day and evening the gondolas would go by with singers and accordian players. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I had a room with a shared bath, which was always kept very clean. There was not an elevator, so luggage does need to be carried up the stairs(I didn't find this to be a problem). Finally, the price of the hotel was unbelievable compared to all others in this area and I did not have a single complaint about my stay here. I would recommend this hotel to everybody!

5.9

The male worker was quite knowledgeable but the female(blonde) in the evenings was not that knowledgeable about Venice or the area and actuallly was the negative of the whole experience.

9.4

The location and price of this hotel was excellent. For such an inexpensive hotel the room was spacious and very clean, if a little dated in decor, but kind of charming. It's location is fantastic, and we visited in August expecting the canals to be smelly, but they weren't, which was a real bonus as we were overlooking a canal. Lovely to wake up to in the morning, especially if you like the sound of singing gondoliers at 10.30 in the morning! We loved it! Had a peek at some of the other rooms which were even bigger than ours. P.S The shared bathroom is on the first floor, so if you don't like stairs (we were on the third) ask for a room on that floor. Enjoy your trip! Ciao

7.7

Due to a failure of venere.com, they didn't have a room with private bathroom left. However, the employee was nice and friendly and gave us a nearby appartment, which was very spacious and fully equiped for the same price. The owner was very friendly and welcoming.

9.9

Loved the location of the hotel and specially the price I've paid for the accomodation.

5.4

This is a beautiful location, looking out on a canal, with the sight and sound of gondolas passing by. The single room I stayed in was not beautifully decorated, bit of a mix up with nice wall paper on some walls and fake wood on others. Overall though it was a pleasant place to stay. Excellent location as near as you'd want to be to St Marks Square. My initial check in was not very friendly but the staff were overall very friendly and welcoming, quite a family atmosphere. Breakfast was extremely basic, but enough to get you on your way. That is if you can get in the shower, there are only two so there were long ques at peak times.

9.5

We spent two marvellous nights at Doni. The bedroom was spacious and quiet, even the roof had a fresco painting, definitely it was really nice to sleep there. The place is just five minutes walking far from St. Mark's Square and there is a vaporetto stop really close to it (Zaccaria). A 10 for the staff.

8.2

Room and facilities were clean and well kept. Room would be much better with air conditioning. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was as basic as it gets. Location was terrific. Stairs weren't fun. Directions to hotel are a bit confusing.

7.8

Friendly, superb location and a room that had everything I needed for a small price (for Venice standards, anyway). I had a great time staying at Doni!

9.7

My wife and I loved our stay at Doni. The location really can't be beat. It's right on a small canal, and it's really close to San Marco. After dancing in Piazza San Marco, we were able to quickly run back and get our camera, then resume the evening. Some reviews have mentioned that it's hard to find, but we didn't find that was the case. However, to the uninitiated, everything in Venice is hard to find. But it is very close to the San Zaccharia vaporetto (water bus) stop. The gentleman who worked the front desk (his name may have been Nicolo) was very friendly. Spoke perfect English. He gave us maps, directions, and recommendations. Also helped us sort out a mistake we made in booking the accommodations.

7.6

Saubere und geräumige Zimmer im venezianischen Touch. Sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und familiär. Frühstück einfach aber ausreichend. GemeinschaftsWC sauber aber kanalisationsbedingt etwas muffelig. Ideale Lage- zentral und doch private, ruhigere Ecke.

9.3

I agree with the others that it could be difficult to find because it is off of a small street and on a smaller one. But the maps and photos especially helped. Its on a tiny canal. Thats key to finding it. Also its the only sign in the area! Great to have a room overlooking the small canal where i watched gondoliere pass and occassionally sing! great for the price and location. better to be on that quieter side of San Marco. Plus, its just a short distance from a water bus stop and the Hotel Daniele(the best in the city), which means for a fraction you can have the same situation as those travelers!

The beds were very old and terrible to sleep upon.

Hotel Doni was a pleasure to stay at. We had a canal-side room which wasn't the most quiet option because the sound really echoed along the narrow streets! Other than this, we had a really pleasent stay; the staff were EXTREMELY helpful, and the hotel was very clean. Breakfast was moderate but the overall price was extremely low so we didn't mind too much! Overall, very satisfied and would definitely stay at The Doni again!

I paid 65/nigth (March). Expensive if you think there's no private bathroom, but, it's Venice...
