The location is great, and the overall atmosphere in the hotel as well. Service is very friendly. I had only a room without view, which was fine for price and quality. Next time I would try to book a room with view. The hotel is very clean and nicely furnished. I would return to this hotel on my next visit to Venice!

The staff was very pleasant, helpful and accomodating. The hotel provides free computer access for guests --- a very nice perk! The hotel is located in a quiet yet very scenic lagoon location accessible to several vaporetto lines.

Lovely apartment in the Zattere area, Wonderful place to stay, quiet place, and not at all far from the St. Marco square or other more crovded areas. To have breakfast outside the hotel in the sunshine is a moment of happiness.

Sehr empfehlenswert an ausgezeichneter Lage. Manchmal etwas lärmig durch den Wasserverkehr. Sehr gutes Restaurant. Speziell: Gartenlokal direkt am Wasser. Alles gut zu Fuss erreichbar. Auch zu Wasser problemlos, vor allem mit Veneziacard von "Hellovenice".

This hotel facing the canal was good with stillness at a calm location. I was surprised at the single room for a narrow impression a little than I thought. I was sorry that most of neighboring restaurants closed by the off-season. I had supper once at a restaurant. A large number of visitors visited the restaurant by chance in the day on that day, and there became a few night menu choice. It was disappointing. I think that it is a good hotel generally.

My room was tiny but very quiet. There was a patio with a table and chairs but as it was raining I didn't have the chance to enjoy it. My only problem is the lot of stairs in my own room: stairs down to go to the bed and stairs up to go to the WC. However, the WC was great with a big bath tub!!!

Situated in Zattere, with the vaporetto/water bus half a block away, a wonderful location! The rooms have a quaintness and warm and are a delightful change from today's hotels with their "waiting room" type furniture.

The room had a space of less than 9 sq. meters and the standard (but not the price !) was much below that of the other rooms of the hotel. This room should not be given to customers who have booked months in advance.

The bedroom was very small (this was told to us when we booked)and early morning there was noise from the kitchens below the bedroom window which woke us up. We would return if we had a larger quieter room at the same price of 170 euros per night.

La Calcina is perfect in almost every way. The location is on the geudecca canal facing south, so the restaurant and outside dining pick up every ray of sun on a winters day. (might be hot in summer)My single room was small,(but who needs big), it was immaculately clean, had a view of the canal. Breakfast was typical fare, but you could order a hot breakfast (extra)if you chose. The staff were very accomodating and multilingual. They made everything easy. La Calcina is "genteel", quiet, old fashioned, POLITE, and lovely. It is easy to get to from the airport (take Alilugna Rosa line to Zattere for 13 Euros) It is less than a block to La Calcina with NO BRIDGES! Grand Canal Accademia bridge about 3 blocks. The area is quiet with no huge tour groups wandering about. Zattere has no shopping to speak of which probably keeps the numbers down...but it has several restaurants and bars and gelaterias. would not recommend this hotel to families. It is not the place to go if you want to be in the thick of things. For a few days of peace and charm, and service, Perfecto!

The hotel was excellent. People very kind. The breakfast was excellent and served in a beautifull table with a nice view of the channel. However, I must say that I was a bit angry because in the reservation they offered a room with private toilette. The actual room didn't have a toilette. I had a private toilette (only for me) but in other part of the hotel. This was very unconfortable! They said that this was the only room like this they had, and that next time the would give me one with a "real" private toilette. I would come back to the hotel if the give me a room with private toilette.

My experience in Hotel La Calcina is perfect! Although the room is a little small, but is very clean and well decorated. The hotel is located just in front of the canals, where you can enjoy the beautiful view, and you can go to St. Marco by foot or by vapoury boat conveniently.The staffs are all very friendly, and the breakfast is excellent! There are lots of choice in breakfast, which is very rare in Italy.

We had the ultimate "room with a view". Location is excellent - a short walk to St Marco but away from the crowds. Also, right next to the water bus stop from the airport. The restaurant takes some beating too. In summary, not a cheap place to stay but we felt it was worth every penny (Euro).

I loved this place. Was only able to stay one night, but it made a lovely break between the end of a cruise and catching the plane home. Location is superb, wonderful view, close to cafes and gelato (!) and only a few steps from the vaporetto and Alalaguna stops at Zattere. Pretty, calm, peaceful room with comfortable bed and better-than-average breakfast buffet.

It was my first stay in Venice and I enjoyed all of it. Hotel La Calcina is an excellent address in Venice, quietly located at the Giudecca canal. The Vaporetto stop is just 100m away, the Ponte Accademia in 5 minutes walking distance, teatro La Fenice in 10 minutes. The room was not huge, but o.k., I got a single room with bathroom across the corridor, but that was according to the booking and absolutely fine for me. Nice the small cabinet in the room with a sink. The single room had not a view over the Giudecca canal, but to a small side canal, nice mumbling of the water in the night... The price: well, it's Venice, and for the quality and the absolute calm location it's o.k. The staff is very friendly, both at the reception and in the restaurant, where the hotel offers a special dinner menu for hotel guests: very good dishes and good quality open wine. Nice view to the Giudecca canal. Also the breakfast buffet (included) was good, excellent coffee.

Pleasant stay, next time would have double for single occupancy as single rooms a bit small/dark and near human traffic on stairways. This hotel better if you don't need St Mark's Square as that was a bit of a hike every day (for Carnevale), otherwise lovely sunny location on Zattere great for soaking up the sun and eating ice cream even in January! Nice restauarants, gelaterias and even a Billa supermarket nearby. Excellent connection with boats for Piazzala Roma then buses to airports.

Beautiful location on the Zattere. Quiet environment. Easy to reach. Our room was located near the staff staircase and above the kitchens so was a little noisy early in the morning. But staff were preparing the excellent buffet breakfast! This hotel was recommended by friends and we will recommend to others and certainly stay there again.

Excellent location in a lovely part of Venice. We found it really handy not just in terms of easy access to the sights in Venice itself, but for getting to and from the airport (the water bus stops almost directly outside the hotel)- something to think about if you don't tend to travel light! The staff were welcoming and helpful and we'd definitely come back here again.

I had a frustrating experience at this hotel. The website says that every room has a bathroom and TV, but the single I reserved had neither. I paid 20 euros more for my first night to stay in another room; it was raining and I planned on staying in to watch some italian TV. The staff could not get the flat screen TV to work. I did have an excellent experience at their restaurant.
