The proprietor was very kind and helpful. The hotel was budget but fine for the price considering how expensive Venice is! It was clean and quiet. One thing was bad though - the breakfast. The hotel should dispense with breakfast altogether as they served up very meagre bread rolls and tea/coffee. The rolls were insubstantial and small. A few streets away from the hotel is a busy street with many cafes. I found an excellent and inexpensive Italian patisserie which served great croissants and coffee - much better place for breakfast.

Although the room was quite small, the hotel staff and its location (quiet, charming zone) was excellent for me. Excellent breakfast too. It's obviously expensive, but it is Venice.

I was traveling alone, had a large room (#6) on the first floor next to a restroom. The room was large, but the walls paper thin. I could hear everyone using the bathroom next door, the people in the courtyard outside, people in the hall. I didn't mind so much because I wake early anyway. The bed was a "double", basically 2 steel frame beds pushed together. I would not want one of these if I was a couple! Breakfast is a hot drink, bottled orange juice, rolls with butter and jam. It's adequate for getting you going in the morning, but not for anyone who needs a "big" breakfast. Otherwise a great hotel for singles. I'm a travel writer, so I've been in a LOT of hotels, and this one is worth the price, great location, lovely staff, very clean.

Spacious room, interesting rooftops/garden view. Got a double bed and a good sized toilet/shower area. Very clean. Staff was anxious to please, very friendly and helpful and did well to make my stay comfortable. Hotel is quiet and with windows closed, noise from the adjacent garden restaurant could not be heard. The light breakfast is served by the cordial staff. The 2 rolls/toast with butter and jam, a glass of juice and a coffee was a bit too small, but there are plenty of grocers and bakeries nearby to top up with fruit and other foods. Leonardo is in a good district where shopkeepers are more helpful, prices a bit better and life is less "touristy". I hope to return to the Leonardo!

We liked the hotel very much, all the stuff are friendly and english-speakers. The rooms are clean and in very romantic and arcaic style, as the hotel on the hole is. It is rather smal, but to us it was attractive. There is no elevator? but we were helped with our luggage by the receptionist. The breakfast consisted of the croissant? bread and very tasty coffe (try capucchino, it is the most tasty). On the hole the balance beetwen the price and the quality is optiaml. We stayed in Venice for 7 days, and these days we liked very much.

Firstly this hotel is overpriced , but then again its in venice. The directions to the hotels were good, we arrived there withing 10 minutes of leaving the train station. The rooms were clean and had clean linen. We had a triple room, the decor is very mature. The bathroom and shower are very small, in fact we had to enter the shower sideways its so small. The breakfast was not to fancy but it was ok. The staff is friendly and were always willing to help. This looked like a family run business. The atmosphere was lovely, it was close to most amenities we needed. I would not stay in this hotel again only because of the shower and the plugs, which stopped working at some point and i could not charge my phone!!!

El personal del hotel muy amable. La habitación muy grande y bien decorada (parecida a la de la foto)con lavabo dentro de la habitación (muy pequeño pero suficiente)Podrian mejorar algunos detalles como la mampara de la ducha que a veces se salía de la guía, o algún enchufe que está salido de la pared, o darle alguna mano de pintura porque se ve todo un poco viejecillo, pero en general muy bien la relación calidad/precio. Lo mejor es que está en una calle pequeña y tranquila, a dos minutos del vaporetto. Y en un barrio con más ambiente que el resto de Venecia. A las 10 p.m ya no hay nadie por las calles, pero en este barrio todavía te puedes tomar algo(incluso cenar). Si volvemos a Venecia repetiriamos en este hotel.

Got a great deal on the Leonardo, considering it was in Venice itself and within walking distance of most of the city. Paid 180 euro for 3 nights in a double room in July, shared bathroom. When we arrived we were told we could be upgraded free of charge to a room in a separate branch of the hotel about a 5-10 min walk away (not on the main walkway but actually in a lovely quiet area, still close by to everything), but it had a en-suite bathroom and air conditioning, which was by FAR worth the slightly extra walk (I had booked a room with a shared bathroom to keep costs down). Breakfast basically consisted of bread rolls, butter, jam and cups of tea and coffee, but seeing as most other hotels that I looked at that were more expensive didn't include breakfast or charged about 8 euros each for it, it was better than nothing and more than welcomed. The staff were friendly and spoke good English, one gentleman pulled my case to the other hotel, gave us a free map of the city and showed us places to see and eat at, and let us leave our bags at the hotel during our last day in Venice. The rooms were clean, modern, quiet and cool. It’s not the Ritz but considering the price a very good deal indeed!

Im Großen und Ganzen alles in Ordnung. Wir brauchten das Hotel nur zum Übernachten, da passte alles. Draußen war es heiß, drin hatten wir eine Klima - das war das Beste! Ohne wäre es bestimmt hart - deshalb kann man auch das nicht ganz saubere Badezimmer und das Früstück, worauf man verzichten kann, verzeihen. Ja, wir würden nochmal dort buchen, weil man in dieser Gegend am besten essen kann, ohne Angst zu haben. Und es gibt direkt draußen einen Obst- und Gemüsemarkt, was auch toll ist, wenn man nicht viel Geld hat.

La ubicación es buena. Está cerca del vaporetto y de la estación de tren. Nuestra habitación estaba pegada a la calle y había mucho ruido. La gente que pasaba por el callejon podía verte por la ventana. La habitación era grande pero con una decoración muy antigua que da un aspecto triste y sucio al lugar. El baño era chico, un poco incómodo. La primera vez que nos duchamos la bañera se tapó y tuvimos que esperar hasta el otro día para que bajara el agua. El personal es servicial. El desayuno no es muy abundante. Es ideal para estar pocos días, no es para una estación prolongada.

The hotel met my needs (twin bed, small desk, sink, closet and window). There was a shared bathroom for the floor. Breakfast was not very substantial (a couple of roles, coffee and juice). The hotel was a short walk from the train station (there is one bridge with a ramp for those of you that have luggage). The hotel is close to the waterbus stop, restaurants, shops, grocery and there is a market on the weekend. I would recommend buying a pass for the waterbuses. Each ride is 6.50 euro and a 3-day pass is 33euro. If you are interested in the islands, you will have to take a boat (13euro.

I stayed for a few days as a solo traveler, and the hotel was quite adequate. The room was clean, the shared bathroom was clean (and usually unoccupied) and the shower enclosure was actually among the larger I encountered in Italy (not saying much). Breakfast of two rolls and packaged toast was unexciting but the cappuccino was fine and there were several little bars with decent pastries nearby. Walls were thin so earplugs were helpful for sleeping. Certainly wouldn't stay for any romantic vacations but fine for a night or two.

I have used the hotel before, I find the staff friendly and hotel basic but clean. I have used a number of hotels in Venice and have found that rooms tend to be on the small side and unless you are willing to spend a great deal of money then you will always feel let down by the room size. I would use this hotel again as the location is perfect for when you enter the city. Its my second stay and hope that it will not be my last. Basic rooms that are clean, great location in the city, what more do you need for a short city break.

This hotel is at the very bottom of Venice's budget league. And while it's friendly, clean and central it's the meanness of it's tacky breakfast that separates it from all the others. It was appalling; 2 stale bread rolls, 1 small cup of coffee and a watery, orange liquid laughingly called orange juice. The breakfast was mean, cheap and awful. For an extra five euro you'll get a better hotel near by, and you're gonna spend that on a decent breakfast anyway. Shame on the Leonardo, everything else about it was fine.

The staff were very friendly. They put us in a comfortable, clean, reasonably-sized room complete with a crib with cute sheets. They made their refrigerator available to us for stocking milk for our toddler. This was a great value for the price. We would certainly come back. Other hotels charged extra or gave us a hard time for the crib, they did not. We loved the neighborhood too. Easy to get to from the vaparetto stop (S. Marcuolo) but seemingly away from the major throngs of tourists. In the early mornings (awake with toddler!) I actually felt like we were in a "real" neighborhood where people go to the supermarket or stop at the bakery on the square for a delicious brioche with marmalada.

Great location and easy access from train station - easy walk even with luggage (only one bridge to go over). Our room (with bathroom) was right next to public toilets and thus, pretty noisy with people going in and out all night. Breakfast is marginal - uninteresting roles - good coffee.

My friends and I stayed in a 1 double room but we were lied to and it was horrible. The website page said air conditioning, but instead we got a broken fan. The hotel is located right above a noisy restaurant so if you want to sleep with the window you get to hear their patrons for most of the night. The room was also very small and and as unaccommodating as the people themselves. Rudeness and incompetence runs high and its located in an alley way. Although we LOVED VENICE!, Hotel Leonardo was disgusting and disappointing.

I must take umbrage with comments made on the webpage, as I think this hotel was absolutely lovely. Lovely people, beautiful marble floored rooms with antiques and fabulous linens on nice firm beds. It is not air conditioned, but it cools at night. I slept with the windows open and the cool breezes over me all night fueling the deep sleep of childhood. There was a fan, but I didn't need it. I highly recommend this hotel and would return again if I were to return to Venice. PD

This property was close to the train station which was convenient. The room was air conditioned with a private bathroom. However, some of the wallpaper was peeled off of the wall so it looked pretty cheap looking, and there looked to be years of dust under the bed. I guess housekeeping doesn't think to clean under there. If you're looking to stay one night, then it's okay, but if you expect more, then you'll have to spend more than 110 EURO per night.

I was taken to a secondary location where there were no 24h staff present. But the location in the city it was fantastic! Also very quiet at night. The single room really had just a single bed!! Very narrow. I was afraid to fall off when I turned in my sleep! There would have been room for a little bit wider bed. Even the headboard was 40cm wider than the bed... The breakfast was non-existent. Just some bread and jam. Coffee and tea came from a machine (awful!) and the orange juice was this sugary stuff from a discount store. It would not have hurt to have at least something like Philadelphia cheese for your bread and maybe some yoghurt. Can't stand the sweet stuff in the morning...

Leonardo is clearly a Student/Backpack hotel and should be clearly advertised as such. We chose this hotel because of its proximity to the Jewish Quarter and therefore travellers should be made well aware of the fact that it caters only to Student or Backpacker

Hotel was a good location for everything. Only a 10 minute walk from the train station. But the price was way too high for the minimal room. Room had a t.v. which was a plus. But rooms' wall are way too thin. You can hear everything happening outside in the hall. If staying in Venice, spend alittle bit more like staying at a 3 or 4 star hotel. Stay at this hotel if you don't see anything cheap.

For a room without a bahroom it is expensive. I suppose the explanation is that Venice is an expensive city. The room was just beside the court of a restaurant, so i suppose that when the weather is fine, it is noisy. We experiment it a few times, it ended at 10 h 30 pm.

The hotel is very well situated for tourism : 15 min from Piazza Roma, 5 from the nearest vaporeto station, 30 minutes from St Marco. Cannaregio distric is calm during the night and you can find good restaurants north to the hotel. The room was clean, the bed ok, the bathroom not very big but ok, TV, clim. The hotel is a little bit noisy (we were near the stairs). The breakfast is simple (a piece of bread, a coffee, an orange juice (natural ?)) but it was ok for me. We enjoy our stay there, even if the price is expensive, but I guess : hotels in Italy are expensive, and here you are in Venezia, no need to take a bus or a train to be back to Mestre.

DO NOT book this hotel for your stay if you are looking for any sort of "normal" accomodations. Granted we didn't expect anything grand, of course, given the price and all, but did expect basics to be taken care of... To list a few things, to get cold water - had to turn on the shower - no cold water in the sink, when reported to frontdesk - the man came up, knocked on smthng for a few minutes, said will be back to fix in 5 min - never returned (later claimed he did, but no one answered the door, which is not true as we were actually waiting for him and waiting before leaving the hotel). Next, the shower itself.. Oh man.. No, did not expect a big one or anything, very familiar w/european showers, but this! This was as tiny as it gets! Plus on top of it a broken shower door, so had to slide in sideways (a petite female!), had to hold the shower head in one hand the whole time as the hanger for it was also broken. The toilet kept leaking from somewhere in the walls, so there was constantly puddles of water around (try to keep that in mind all the time and not step in it, especially in the middle of the night). No a/c, just a fan, lots of squashed mosquitos on the ceiling (very uplifting image as u go to bed). So forget about closing the windows, but... Don't forget the smell! And the noise!! Which come from the restaurant right next to the hotel (u can see what's in everyone's plate just by looking out of the window) hence hear all the conversations, smell the cooking fish & enjoy the clicking/clucking noises from the forks, knives, glasses, etc. And last, but not least - dead phone. Frontdesk informed callers to our room "the phone will work in 2 hrs", well, guess what, it never did. Remained dead and silent until we left. When reported to frondesk as we were leaving - the answer was "sheisa working"! I don't think so! 'Cause she was not working and sheisa still not working! So overall, I wouldn't recommend anyone to stay in this hotel nor will I ever stay there myse

Was extreemly dissapointed with our stay here. We thought the website pictures looked great but, were very misleading when it came to the actual property. The furniture in our bedroom was very old and well past its used by date. Our bathroom was dirty, with other peoples filth still around the base of the shower. When you flushed the toilet the shower completely stopped. The bathroom was overall cramped and un-user friendly. If you get given room 5 ask to change. We stayed in much better places for the same price. Breakfast was a joke as well.

This was a nice little hotel, very basic room but very pricy (as is the whole of venice anyway). hotel staff were lovely and very helpful. close to san marcuola vaporetti waterbus station and about a 10 minute walk from the main train station nad 8 minutes on the vaporetto to the main transport hub of Piazzale le Roma to the airport. the only downfall was that the tv didn't work in any of the rooms - not a big deal but for 70 euro a night ith no ensuite was a little annoying.

The hotel was fine for a two star hotel.it was more or less what we expected knowing how two stars hotels are in Italy.the bigest problem was that we were on the ground floor next to the kitchen and in the mornings it was very noisy.the hotel was easy to find and in an area where resaturants and shops were cheaper than in the most touristic areas.

I stayed at the hotel during the Venice Bienniale opening and they put me in a horrible single room with a bad matrace. A bidet was in the room and the whole room smelled of urine. I left after one night. They offered me a room in a affiliated hotel which had no 24 hour reception, but was clean and comparibly spacious. however they charged the full price although i had to move. There are really much better hotels in Venice, better not stay here.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Hotel Leonardo. The location was great. The room was adequate. Our room had a shower and toilet down the hall which was always available and clean. There was noise from the restaurant next door till after 11:00 then it was quiet. Our mattress was not very comfortable. The room was kept very clean and the staff very nice and helpful.
Young couple
USA, Apr 2007
First of all, the name of the street which hotel Leonardo is situated is actually located in two different places on opposite sides of Venice. Upon arriving to Venice my boyfriend and I used our travel guide map to find the street listed in the hotel's address. After about a 45 minute walk with two rolling suitcases, up and down about 20 sets of stairs, we arrived to the street, only to find no hotel. So make sure you check the correct map for the location! You shouldn't end up walking more than 10 minutes from the train station. The hotel itself was fairly nice. The rooms were big, but not as nice as pictured here. Our biggest complaint was that our room was directly between the reception desk and breakfast room and around 6 am it was noisy enough to wake us up. We could basically hear every word uttered outside our room. Staff were nice, especially the women who served breakfast in the morning. A nice place to stay, but definitely not worth the money we paid.

Very clean, but basic and noisy rooms. Limited capacity in breakfast room - only 4 tables - had to wait up to 20 minutes to get a table. Very friendly staff. Stayed in different Venice hotels many times, including carneval period - Quality vs price low compared to other hotels

Could not figure out how to make the air conditioner work, so we made the mistake of leaving the windows open--and got eaten alive by mosquitos. Otherwise, a great location, clean and safe.

This is a charming little hotel. The location was prime, just a few steps away from Rio Terra San Leonardo and far enough from street noise. The price is quite reasonable. The fellow at the front desk was very, very nice. I am a runner and like to get up very early to train. The desk clerk rose early every morning to see me off. That was a bit of customer service that was above and beyond. On the minus side, the sink in room #10 is attached only by the drain pipe. Don't lean on it. The shower is about the size of an American phone booth. The walls are about as soundproof as a screen door, but I've learned to travel with noise-cancelling headphones, so that wasn't a problem.

There was some confusion with our check in, but the staff was friendly and apologetic. The room was spacious by Venice standards and clean. The bed was softer than we normally like, but surprisingly comfortable. The down side was the paper thin walls especially since we were next to the breakfast room. No sleeping in for us. But you down't want to miss the cappuccino anyway. Hotel was easy to find, even at 11:30 pm.

The hotel personnel was very helpful and courteous, but the room was very dusty, and the air conditioning did not work properly.

We stayed at an annex to this hotel which was just perfect for us. The rooms were very clean. The people were exceptionally nice. They helped us with our luggage both upon arrival and departure. We recommend this place very highly.

I understand it is venice and you can expect to pay a little more for staying there. However, i find no excuse for the dirtiness we experienced in this hotel. For example, the sink was covered in cracks and needed replacing, the toilet leaked, mold covered the bathroom walls and ceiling, literally dozens of squashed mosquitos on walls and ceilings throughout bedroom, wall paper was stained and tatered, maybe most concerning of all was electric sockets not even attached to wall exposing the wiring behind. The photo was not at all like the one on the website. If you think i am exagerating the situation you may requests the photos I took!

I had booked the hotel last-minute on Venere and apperently the hotel was booked. So, instead of telling me the bad news that I'd have to find another place after I'd arrived, they booked me a room at another hotel which was lovely. I really liked my room and the location and the people. The only thing is that it was really small. But, I just stayed in a hotel in Rome that was a larger room but not nearly as nice. So I'd say I would prefer the smaller room with better quality.

Hotel nicely situated, close to the train station. Window of the room was leaking, the toilet was leaking on the floor, the bed was too tin and too soft, the walls are as tin as paper, they started to clean the room over us at 6:30 AM with the vacuum cleaner, moistures in the shower, TV wasn't working, but the coffee was good ! It's OK for one night, don't spend the week there. Venise is expensive, but it's Venise...

I was travelling alone and staying in one of the (two?) bedrooms without bath. The bath was outside and shared I believe with one other room. This was fine, as the bathroom was always available when needed, and the hallway outside my room was empty. The staff was friendly, helpful and spoke French, English, Spanish, possibly Hebrew, and I'm sure Italian. I was unable to get the TV in the room working or find the remote control, but I didn't come to Venice to watch TV. Breakfast was Italian. Fine but nothing outstanding. (As a French person I have a biais for French bread, croissants, etc. and find Italian bread disappointing). I love Italy though, and Venice was a superb experience.

The location is just OK. Very close to the train station and close to interesting sites i Venice, like the Ghetto. But the quality of the room is not satisfactory. There is a problem with the noise coming in the room. You can hear the people walking past your window, and the people in the other rooms. Also the breakfast is not satisfactory when you think about the price you pay per night.

I had a very nice stay since I was a bit worried because of old comments. Great location and pretty cheap hotel, near the train station, vapporetti, and not so far from the Rialto. The weather was cold and rainy so I had no mosquitos. Anyway there is a kit in the room. The staff was very nice, the room had air conditioned and was just in front of a restaurant but it wasn't so bad. To me, the only bad side is the breakfast. For a 2 stars hotel and the price, it should be bigger with a buffet with cereals, ham and cheese.
