Hotel La Fenice Et Des Artistes - Venice

Every room is different so it is pot luck as to whether you like yours. We paid extra for a large roof terrace which was great. However the bathroom was badly designed, it was impossible to sit on the toilet properly! The breakfast really lets the hotel down: there is no fresh or even tinned fruit. The restaurant next to the hotel is VERY expensive. The portions are small and the quality of the food is nothing special. But the hotel is great on atmosphere with some wonderful paintings!

La Fenice is not a 4 stars hotel, it is a 2 stars hotel quoted at 4 stars hotel. The rooms are very ancient, smell to humidity, the bathroom are very old and not realy clean. Not a good experience

This was my first stay in Venice and at this hotel, and was aware that my single room would be small. Small it was, but ample enough for just me. My only real complaint was that the bed was hard and very uncomfortable. A mattress pad would greatly improve the comfort of the bed. Other than that, the staff was very friendly and accommodating to my needs.

Expensive for a small single room, but apparently a very good value for Venice based on the rates at any other place I could find.  Very helpful friendly staff! Somewhat hard to find, but in a nice quiet small square conveniently located a few minutes walk from St Marks square. Small charge for Internet access, 2 euro for 24 hours - Internet only works in the lobby.

I have visited Venice many times in the past but this is the first time I have stayed at La Fenice. Although my room was smaller that my friend's, I did have the benefit of a nice veranda with a table and chairs. All the staff I came across were excellent and I would certainly return.

Our room felt a bit stuffy, but it was clean and comfortable. Great location, good breakfast, helpful staff.

It is a very nice hotel in the heart of Venice. You are in 5 minutes everywhere. I`m every year in Venice, but it was my first stay in Hotel Fenice. I´ll come back next year. The personal ist very friendly, you can have really espresso at breakfast not only "Kaffe"! All was perfect in this very nice hotel with venician charm!

First time stay. The hotel is very well positioned and has a very nice artistic feel. The staff are very helpful and the service is excellent. The Antico Martini restaurant next to the Fenice theatre is excellent though rather pricy! For price/quality and atmosphere I recommend il Giardinetto restaurant(owner/manager Lucca)about a 5 minute walk from Piazza San Marco.

The hotel is in a very good location, especially for a first time visitor. I took the boat from the airport and walked to the hotel in five minutes. It is surprisingly close to St. Mark's, Rialto, and L'Academie, (once you learn the way, of course, it is Venice), and it is next to the very beautiful Fenice Theatre and many excellent restaurants. The staff is friendly and helpful, I thought the double rooms were very spacious and elegant. If I ever return to Venice, I will stay here.

Hotel is definately expensive.But staying other italy hotels this hotel is much better with a/c working and beautiful bathtroom.not sure if its worth 155(E) a night hotel.

I thought the hotel was very nice and the employees couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. My only real complaint was that there was no air conditioning and my room was in the high 80's every evening and night. I could not open the windows because of the mosquitoes. That was a big problem and for that reason I would not stay there again. Otherwise the hotel was very good.

We enjoyed our stay immmensely.The staff were very friendly and looked after us very well.This included holding onto our bags for us as we enjoyed our last day in Venizia.As Artists ourselves we felt very welcome in this special hotel.We have every intention of recommending it to our friends and returning ourselves. I must say that as a regular visitor and occasional worker in Venizia, tourists can be very rude to the locals.They perhaps feel that they will be overcharged for everything and arrive with a defensive attitude.I think this is a pity but my experience of Venitians has been that they meet discourtesy with grace and ,like every city, those who do overcharge are easily avoided.This hotel was a case in point of wonderful value and service.

we know not so bad venezia becuse we went regukarky since 46 years inwith may parents ,with my husband for honeymoon,then with 3 youn children .Always at the Lido and visiting the town with vaporetto so it was the 1sr time inside venezia and our choice of hotel de la fenice et des artists was very good for the situation,the help in hotel for going there or ther unfortunately we reserved for 23 july at the fenice for leggenda of serpento bianco ,the performance was cancelled and not repaid .I have to give them iban and so and so But anyway we are not fan of chinese opera ;we visited the fenice and we went to thatre malibran to see "la boheme " puccini we appreciate .my dream is to "inviter en français "my sons et gransons next year in the same hotel in july 2009 if they want for my 80 years old in advance ...sincerly yours .As you can see I am french ,and I miss some words even I am an international lawyer but retired

We liked our stay at the Fenice in the middle of sanmarco opposite the opera. easy to get there even with heavy luggage no problem. as we arrived by taxiboat a nice lady from the hotel was already at the waterfront to show us the way. breakfast à la italienne means poor. Everything else was perfect we come back for sure.

Good location, good service, competent and welcoming staff - rooms are small, building oldish / not fully covered by elevators, but I guess this is in line with local market and environment.

We chose La Fenice for a visit to the opera, and we were pleased with our choice. The rooms were excellent, the breakfast was fine, the staff were efficient and friendly, and the position of the hotel was naturally perfect for what we wanted.

I staid 3 nights. it was a very good journey...

We had a room with a balcony which effectively doubled the space of the room. The balcony looked out over a small canal and really changed the room from the average small Italian hotel room into something special. The hotel has large public areas which during the time we were there were mostly empty. Breakfast was OK, standard for hotels in Italy. The only problem was finding the hotel if you don't know your way around Venice have a mobile phone on you to call the hotel for directions or get them before you arrive at the station because the directions from the Venere are not specific enough. Be prepared to pull your bags along the narrow streets of Venice, up and down steps of the various bridges. The location is great, however, once you get your bearings you are around the corner from the theatre and only about 5-10 minutes though the streets (unless you stop to shop) to St Marco.

Very nice and charming hotel. I got an extra- ordinary service from the concierge when my suitcase-zipper bursted 30 minutes before our boat left.

I will hope to stay there again. i came to love my room....small, but exactly right for me. thank you.

You cannot beat the location. Close to San Marco Square, yet quiet, next to La Fenice Opera House. You felt welcome the moment you steep into the Hotel Lobby. Our room had a good sized terrace making it a real special stay at the hotel.

The room was too hot, under the roof, for 160 euro. The staff did not know how to help me with the temperature. There was a bar but always closed. Difficult or impossible to have a drink after 20h. I had to do my bed every night, because almost not done. The location is excellent, but, for the price, all un "peu cradeau".

all meals from breakfast until dinner which have been taken at theatre bar & restaurant just around the corner of the hotel have been excellent.

I stayed at this hotel due to reccomendation/review on this site from a gay couple that stayed here in October to see the Opera. I have a good sense of direction, but still got lost once. The attached restaurant is affiliated, but not owned by hotel. It is very good and in romantic Venice, the rest. manager had no problem with providing me with a good bottle of wine for my late night guest to take to my room. We both enjoyed a knowing smile when I returned the 2 glasses at breakfast. Also, the front desk staff very helpful and the maps that the hotel passes out are much better than what is available for sale in the Square. It is a quiet place yet is very close to bridges and taxi points.

Our visit to Venice was primarily to attend a performance at the rebuilt opera house. It was the most beautiful opera house in the World and we grieved when it burnt down some 20 years ago. It has been rebuilt as an exact replica of what was there beforehand and is absolutely brilliant - well worth the visit. La Fenice et des Artistes is virtually next door and so could not be better located for our purpose. Hardly cheap (but what do you expect for Venice), but good when measured against the quality of similarly classed hotels in the town (we cannot compare it with the Danieli or Cipriani, having never stayed at that end of the market!). The buffet breakfast was a particularly good 'Eurobrek'.

chambre tres spacieuse eu egard aux pratiques hotelieres en italie, propre, accueil plus ou moins chaleureux pour les marseillais que nous sommes. cependant nous etions dans la chambre 101, a eviter: sur le palier et dans la descente d'escalier, ceci dans nos fenetres donnaient sur une placette peu frequentee et tres agreable, a 2 pas de la place saint marc!!! sejour tres agreable

Basic hotel, with pleasant and helpful staff. The room was a little tired looking though, but it's an old building, and you're hardly paying for The Ritz. We had a room overlooking a busy canal route for the gondolas, so we were frequently 'entertained' by singing and accordian playing. The breakfasts weren't much to write home about.

A tad hard to find (it's two steps from the Fenice, but the hotel's entrance is a bit hidden), and you'd expect more from the breakfast given the price, but other than that, this place is charming. / Un poil dur à trouver (c'est à deux pas de la Fenice, mais l'entrée de l'hôtel est un peu cachée), et on s'attend à mieux au niveau du petit déjeuner vu le prix, mais à part ça c'est vraiment charmant.

Romantic and quiet. Very well situated. Kind people. Nice terraces.

Nice location. From our room was also open view towards il campo. Not so fancy as you might have expected (web). Very good beds! Roomtemp was ok and there was enough of air. I guess impossible in the sommer though: noisy, inefficient AC would be a nightmare, for me at least. With breakfast we made it easily until lunchtime.

Non ho mai ricevuto un trattamento migliore. Pensavo che la prenotazione in internet, con il conseguente sconto, avrebbe potuto giustificare un trattamento di serie B. Così non è stato. Camera 355 magnifica con terrazza, personale gentilissimo e sempre disponibile. Anche grazie a loro ho trascorso un week end magnifico nonostante la nostra giovane età (22 anni). Si, perchè spesso, gli albergatori, dinanzi ai giovani si sentono in obbligo di fregarli in qualche modo, come già mi era successo a Pisa e a Parigi. Questa volta non è stato così. è bellissmo potete contarci!

A very nice hotel in a magic city. Very well situated close to Fenice theater (5 to 10 min from Rialto & San Marco). Nice breackfast. Very kind welcoming. Our room was very spacious.

It's a very quiet hotel and only ca. 5-10 min. from Marcus place. Next time in Venice, we'll book this hoten again.

Looking to relax for a week end? Just go to Venice and this hotel, perfect match. My friend and I had really a good time there.

The room was not very spacious but was pleasant, with a terrace on a canal. Breakfast is good.

Beautiful hotel in the heart of Venice, lovely atmosphere.

Foto assolutamente ingannevoli rispetto a ciò che è veramente la struttura. Camere vecchie , poco pulite e nel caso specifico con una vista inesistente.

Wonderful service at the desk! The single room used by my daughter had a VERY noisy air conditioner, which sounded like it was gasping for breath. It probably was, as despite its exertions it didn't work at all. However, the desk staff was very gracious in relocating my daughter do a satisfactory room the next night. One unpleasantness: guests having breakfact on two mornings had to listen to two hotel staff (a man and a woman) argue loudly with each other. (These wwere NOT staff that worked behind the desk.)

I've enjoyed your hotel's staying,and I've been favorably disposed toward a reception and a kindness of stuffs. Especialy, roofgarden was very good. Thank you very much for your kindness.

I really enjoyed starting my day in sitting in the picturesque and charming garden and having breakfast.I liked my stay at the Fenice a lot. The only disturbing aspect were the many moskitoes which stung me at night.

This was my 4th visit to Venice and my 2nd time at La Fenice et des Artist Hotel. La Fenice theatre is one block away also the best restaurant in Venice. From 1 to 10 I¨ll give a perfect 10. My wife loves it for the romantic ambiance

Very nice hotel with a speciell atmosphere. apprecaited that even single room had a bit more space and "feeling" Price level extreme "Venice level"

The room and the facilities were very good and the location was convenient. And the restaurant connected to it was superb. However, there was a mosquito problem and the lack of window screens caused discomfort.
