Hotel Lisbona - Venice

8.3

For a short turistic visit to Venice is a reasonable and perfect and strategically located hotel, at 10 min. walking distance of San Marcos Square. Friendly and cooperative staff. Unless you are looking for a more glamorous site/installation, this hotel is a very reasonable solution, since Venice is a city to walk and not to stay at hotel.

7.7

hello, ..yes,1st time at lisbona,the service was very good,staff was polite and helpful.room was small but the location was excellent.....we would definetetly return...and incedently,I was impressed with the ease and effectiveness of your booking system....thank you.

8.2

The only aspect I've marked down is the size of the room, however I cannot in anyway fault the Hotel for this. They were very open & honest (to the point of giving me dimension measurements) so that I was fully aware of what I was getting.

7.6

The location is perfect, really closed to St.Marco square. It is a pity that the room was really little, for me it was not a problem becouse I spend just one night. I will repeat, nice place!

6.4

One negative comment and two positive. The location of the hotel was great. The room was very small but that did not matter since we were out most of the time. Breakfast was great. The man that checked us in was less than helpful on several occasions. He gave me the feeling that he was doing us a favor by talking to us. Needless to say, he could not or would not help us out with much. One night we came back in late and he was watching a movie sprawled out on the sofa (across from his duty desk)and when we asked him for some help he did not even get up, but managed to give us a half assed answer that he could not help out. Terrible service from the front desk.

7.6

Venice is beautiful. But hotels are very expensive. Lisbona provides one of the less expensive options in the St. Mark square area. The hotel is excellently positioned near one of the main gondola boarding points, St. Mark's Square, and the Vaporetta. The staff wasn't the most excited bunch, but the service was adequate. Room was nice and all of the gondolas full of tourists went by so we got occassional nice signing.

5.6

The hotel is impossible to find using the map -it's best to arrive in daylight before you turn into the Exorcist looking for it. The Hotel is quite narrow without a lift, stairs are steep and so are not to be recommended for the unfit or elderly. Our double bedroom was quite small and airless. The minibar was precariously positioned over the bed and unless you are particualarly alert to your surroundings in the dark you could easily hit your head against the minibar on at least one occasion. While we requested a room close to the canal to see the gondolas on reflection this was not such a good idea in the end. It was very noisy with speed boats on the go half the night. Italians have a tendency to roar at each other while they are standing beside each other so it was a noisy night as noise carried from the street. Notwithstanding, the above the location of the hotel is excellent. The hotel was clean the breakfast was perfect. Our experience was good.

8.7

I had some problems finding the hotel at first, since the instructions on the website (both venere.com and the hotel's site) were rather vague. Apart from that, everything was as expected - tiny, but very clean and quite sufficient rooms (I didn't go to Venice to hang out in a hotel room), nice breakfast buffet included in the price, and best of all, incredible location for a very reasonable price (since I was travelling in late December, at the most off-season of times).

9.8

A little difficult to find, but that was probably due to us being poor map readers! Our flight was delayed an extra night, and they booked another nights stay for us at 1am in the morning.We didn't use the Bar but there didn't really appear to be one, but that didn't matter. The reception staff were really helpful, and they provided a good continental breakfast. It really is the best location for visiting Venice.

5.7

very hard to find... walls were paper thin and I had a couple with a little child next to me... It was extremely difficult to sleep with a screaming child in the next room... advertised that there was air conditioning, but there was no way to control the temperature... I stayed 2 nights and my towels were not replaced after the first night... Keys to the room must be left at the front desk when you leave so I was scared to buy too much and leave it in the room... location is great and breakfast choices were very good for Italy....

10

This lovely hotel is 3 mins. from St Marks square.The staff are very helpful and will carry luggage upstairs for you../there are no lifts and the stairs are very steep for elderly/very young. Lovely breakfast.The hotel overlooks a busy canal full of gondeliers...very romantic.

9.8

The Lisbona was great! My room overlooked the canal. I often lingered at my window to watch the gondoliers prepare their gondolas for passengers. The service was excellent, the location ideal. I look forward to staying at the Lisbona on my next trip to Venice!

9.8

I looked out the window and saw the Grand Canal and the small canal separating Lisbona from Hotel Bauer. Gondolier station under window. Perfect. Very tight space in room. It is in a great location.

7.5

address given using post codes makes it difficult to find. directions from water bus terminal would be usefull

9.6

Great location and a great price for a single room so close to the heart of Venice. Fab view from my room of the canal below with gondolas sailing past. Unfortunately it was noisy when people in the next room started a loud discussion in the early hours, the sound came through the walls too clearly! Overall however, I would recommend this hotel

2.0

I was not able to even get to the hotel because the Italian transportation workers were on strike at the time. When I called the hotel to explain the situation they were not understanding in the least. They charged me the full price of the rooms for two nights even though I had no way of making it there. I now have to call my credit card company to dispute the charges. I just got jipped out of my money and I have no regard for this hotel.

9.7

This was a great hotel. Great location, almost luxurious rooms, although not large, excellent continental breakfast with all the basics plus great meats and cheeses. The staff were very helpful and friendly. No elevator which could be a problem for some folks.

9.5

Fantastic hotel at a reasonable rate yards from St Marks. Steep stairs up to room hard work after walking round Venice all day but may help to rid those excess pounds after all that pasta! Room overlooked canal and gondola stop. Wonderful to be woken by the sounds of the canal and the gondaliers rather than an alarm clock.

9.6

hotel agréable : très bonne correspondance avec les photos, les chambres ont toutes vue sur un canal de venise, emplacement central, calme, accueil agréable et serviable. petit déjeuner copieux. très bien !

10

OTTIMO ALBERGO, OTTIMA UBICAZIONE, OTTIMA ACCOGLIENZA. OTTIMO RAPPORTO QUALITA' PREZZO

9.7

A superb small hotel the location of which was perfect. If you want a decent hotel at a decent price do not hesitate to book here

7.5

Great location right next to St Marks Square. Our room had a balcony that overlooked the canal which was great! Breakfast was good, a lot of variety. The room was very small & dark but would reccommend staying here.

9.7

Very well positioned hotel - easy to find - welcoming staff who gave us excellent recommendations on where to eat. Looked after our luggage during the day as we had a late flight.

8.0

Good value, location and service. The only noise was from the gondolas which wasn't so bad. A little hard to find but what isn't in Venice.

9.8

Everything was as expected...from the pictures & info listed on this website to the comments from other people. Located RIGHT next to a busy gondola stop, which may have distracted us, so we missed the hidden away entrance, but otherwise we would have found it no problem. Great location, staff was friendly, room & bathroom clean, room overlooked the canal/gondola stop. Sure the room was small, but I've always found that in Europe & you aren't in it much anyway. Their breakfast was the best of all the places we stayed in Italy. Would stay again.

9.7

Very Venetian.Silk walled bedrooms.Rooms open onto canal + gondeliers.Hotel staff very helpful.4 minutes to Grand Canal boat station (only 1 bridge to cross).2 mins. to St. Marks. 30 seconds to Versace/designer shops.No lift so hard for elderly/heavy luggage.

9.7

Lovely place. Our room had a small balcony overlooked a busy canal filled with gondolas. I loved watching the activity though it was noisy into the night. The location is very good -- easy walking to everything. The staff was very proactive in helping us with local reservations and with our travel plans when we left Venice.

9.8

Un très joli petit hôtel, très bien situé et très calme. La bonne surprise est qu'il n'y a pas de surprise : le prix convenu (très raisonnable pour le mois d'août à Venise), la chambre avec vue sur le canal San Moisè et la Punta della dogana. La chambre est, c'est vrai, très petite, mais bien aménagée, et bien insonorisée.

8.5

Had a wonderful time in Venice and would recommend Hotel Lisbona if you want something central to St Mark's square and easy walking distance to almost all the tourist places. Not forgetting the gondola ride entrance on your footstep and the cheap pizza slices round the corner.

9.9

This was an excellent hotel for the money spent. We had a beautiful view of the canal from our window. Breakfast was good. I would definitely stay here again.

6.8

Excellent location but hotel let down by the size of the rooms,very very small.Not really suitable for people with walking difficulties as there is no lift and the stairs are very steep.The prices reflect the quality of the location, not that of the hotel

9.7

The Lisbona hotel was a perfect place to stay. There is no lift, but we were lucky and were on the first floor. Room 11, and looking at the layout of the rooms we definately had the best room with a brand new bathroom. It is located 2 mins walk to St Marks Square and is situated right on a lovely little canal. We requested a room which overlooked the canal and it even had a tiny balcony so that we could stand over the canal and watch the Gondola's. The breakfast was fantastic and consisted of cereals, ham, cheese, rolls, pastries etc. As much of it as you could eat!! Definately recommend to take the ferry up the Grand Canal (best 5 Euros spent) and also go the island of Murano (famous for glass making). The restaurants near St Marks square are very expensive, however if you walk 5 mins off the beaten track there are some lovely places to eat. Take the ferry from the Airport (10 Euros each). When you get off the ferry at St Marks Square turn left, go over the little bridge then take the next right by Harrys Pub, at the end of the street turn left, go past the shops, over the bridge and then Lisbona Hotel is on the left under the arch (by all the Gondoliers). I would definately stay at this hotel again and will certainly be recommending it to my friends.

9.6

I loved this hotel. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The rooms are small but adorable. The breakfast was great and so was the location (once you find it, Venice is hard to navigate). I would recommend this hotel to all my friends.

8.9

Nice place - between great standing and typical Our room on the canal was very comfortable and we really spend great sleeping nights - Good choice to stay for a long we as we deed.

8.9

This is a great property very near the St Marks Square. The price I paid (65 Euros) was a great value. A friend of mine stayed in a hotel 25 feet away for twice the price. The rooms are small, think cruise boat size. The only suggestion I would make is for the hotel to install screens. When you open the windows, it is the whole world, bugs included. Being April that was not too much of an issue, but in the summer, I would not want to imagine the wildlife. Directions; Water taxi to St Marks square, walk to the first street and turn left. Go a 100 yards or so, you will see an American Express travel sign hanging on one of the store fronts to confirm you are on the right path. Cross over a bridge (lift you suitcases) and the hotel is under an archway on the left.

8.6

Site states that all rooms overlook canal-not so. While my room did not overlook the canal, I could still hear the water lapping at the building. Still, a great location and value. Would definitely stay again.

7.9

I suggest this hotel to all those people who want to spend a few days in Venice without spending a fortune.The location is just behind San Marco Square, and the service offered by the hotel is excellent.The only weak point is the dimension of the rooms, but of course, it is enough for a holiday in Venice!

9.8

A wonderful small hotel situated perfectly for San Marco and only a few minutes from waterbus stop.

9.8

Hotel très bien situé, à quelques mètres de la place San-Marco. Propreté de la chambre et de la salle de bain irréprochable. Petit-déjeuner complet avec des patisseries venitiennes. Personnel accueillant. Je recommanderai vivement cet hôtel.

8.3

It was a extremely nice place, very well located, with a gondola stop right in front of us, with a canal view. a very romantic place. there was no elevator but this was a part of the flavor of the place as a whole, I did not find it like a inconvenience (although it was my boyfriend who carried my luggage). the service provided was excellent, very good recommendaitons of places to eat.

7.2

Hotel Lisbona is just minutes away from Piazza San Marco, very convenience located. The room I stayed in is a en-suite twin room. It is clean, quiet but a little bit dark. Members of staff are polite but a little cold. Overall I would recommend this hotel if you're looking for somewhere comfortable but not luxurious stay in Venice.

9.9

This is a fantastic hotel, reasonably priced and right in the centre of san marco. staff were brilliant, breakfast was good rooms were small but cosey. I would strongly recomend and will stay here again on my next visit. a++++++++++++++++

8.8

Very good location for first-timers to Venice; I loved my quaint single room with two twin beds, but I didn't have view of canal as my grown daughters did. But their room had the twin beds moved together which gave them very little space to actually walk within the room. Thought the breakfast was quite nice compared to others we'd had in Italy. An elevator would have been nice to the 4th floor, but my daughters had to climb up there, I was on 2nd flr. All in all, the Lisbona was a lovely quaint, yet modern, facility, which I could definitely recommend. I really appreciated using Venere, you provide a wonderful service.

10

Hotel Lisbona is a hidden gem.The hotel is 2 minutes from Sant Marks and gondeliers go past your dining room window.The walls are covered in silk fabric and all the luxury/designer shopping is 1 minute from your door.The boat back to the airport is 5 minutes walk.Honeymoon or holiday this is a great place.

9.8

The quality of the room, the price and the hotel's proximity to San Marco make this hotel and excellent choice.

7.9

Great location! Right in the middle of everything, yet not too loud. Rooms are tiny, but to be expected.

9.2

Highly recommended. Great location in San Marcos. Nice room right on the river with the gondolas passing underneath. The only thing is that it was a bit tight - but that was expected and there is no elevator and the stairs up are quite steep (especially if you are on the third floor).

8.9

A wonderful location and I was given a room with a canal view. Being serenaded by gondoliers - or listening to their banter until 10 pm was fascinating. I obtained directions to the hotel from a previous review, which I found very helpful. Excellent breakfasts and helpful staff at a location close to many of the main attractions helped to make a memorable stay in Venice.

7.9

Our only objection to the Lisbona was the lack of an elevator. Otherwise, the hotel is ideally located and staffed by very helpful, knowledgeable people (especially Cristian). The staff did everything they could to answer our questions and help us when necessary.

8.9

A bit tiny as Venice rooms are small for this price, but we thouroughly enjoyed the experience. The room overlooked a canal and we had constant gondoliers singing underneath our window, very romantic! I would highly recommend the Lisbona.

8.1

This hotel is in a great location. The breakfast is lovely, lots of choice. We checked in very late and there were no problems at all, the staff were polite and helpful. However there are no lifts in the hotel and the rooms are small, it didn't bother us though. I would defintely stay here again.

7.5

Nice little hotel with very small but clean rooms and friedly staff at an perfect location and good value for money.

7.8

Very friendly, excellent breakfast. Only problems were that the room was tiny with nowhere to sit apart from on the bed. The stairs took some climbing too. Good situation. Only noise was the gondoliers on the water below but that added to the atmosphere. Could have done with some better directions on how to get to the hotel, which waterbus stop to get off at etc. It took some finding, carrying heavy bags.

5.4

The smallest hotel room that I have ever occupied in my life. The air conditioner was not working and there were no elevators; my room was on the third floor. The only positive was a very good brakfast. Aside from that, a bad experience

8.6

We were very impressed with the helpfulness of the staff. The location is very difficult to beat at the price. We will be back and will recommend to friends.

9.8

We loved the Lisbona! The second floor room we had was small, but had amazing little balconies that overlooked a canal. With a little creativity we managed to put the 2 stools from the room on the balconies so we could sit and drink wine while watching the gondoliers! The breakfast was amazing with croissants, salami, cheese, cereals, and cake - and freshly made cappacino. The hotel was difficult to find initially, but once we knew where to look, it was very centrally located. We would certainly stay here again.

8.9

A small hotel but in an excellent position near St Mark's Square. Bedroom rather small but good shower room and all very clean. Hotel staff competent and very pleasant.

9.7

This is a very nice and affordable hotel, with a great location. My single room in February was small but well decorated, perfectly heated and spotless clean. You are just 150 m away from the Piazza San Marco and have the choice between two nearby Vaporetti-stations. The breakfast was good, especially for Italy. You are friedly welcomed and get good answers to all your questions from the staff. Price/quality in this hotel was very good (February!, Summer can be expensive), especially given the great location in Venice. Only 2 little flaws: - no lift to the 3 floor - the maids for the romm/breakfast didn't reach the standart of friedlyness like the rest of the staff Overall: take it!

9.1

Hotel Lisbona was lovely. It is very central and was excellent value for money. My only quibble is that the map was not very helpful. I would suggest including a street name in the details so that people can find it using their own maps.

10

Small room, but excellent location and staff. Great room for the price.

8.9

The room was tiny, but the location was great! Just a few steps away from the Piazza San Marco. The view of the canal from the room's window was truly picturesque. It was also a bonus to hear through open windows, the saxophone player and a tenor alternately performing from the nearby piazzeta. Staff was very friendly as well.

7.8

The services offered by the hotel were good and I can recommend it to other people. The nicest of all is the view on the Moises channel. En general, we spent a lovely day/night in your beautiful town of Venice.

9.8

Very nice, clean, excellent location

9.7

While nothing in Venice is cheap, Hotel Lisbona offers an amazing location for a price that is easier to swallow. Each room overlooks a canal lined with Gondolas. The location is excellent, just far enough from San Marco to avoid constant crowds, but close enough to reach the square in 2 minutes walk. The breakfast is also excellent. I highly recommend Hotel Lisbona to the frugal traveler who doesn't mind paying a little more for location.

9.0

We enjoyed the room that was given to us very much. The hotel itself was very nice. Our room was one that had a lovely view of a small canal. There was a little morning noise that was actually somewhat pleasant seeing as how it was coming from the Gondola stop located right outside the hotel. I would definantly stay here again.

7.9

Our stay was very enjoyable. The rooms face a canal with gondolas passing by. The location is busy and far from the train station, requiring either a water bus/taxi ride, or about a 30 minute walk over several bridges. The hotel staff was fantastic and very helpful.

9.5

Es war ein schöner Aufenthalt in Venedig, Preis - Leistung Verhältnis hat absolut gestimmt.

6.7

This hotel has good location. It's very close to San Marco, vaporetto station and many designer brand shops. The room is not so spacious. And we had to go up and down the steep stairs. If I have a chance to visit Venezia again, maybe I will stay this hotel because of a good location.

9.6

The hotel is perfectly located in the very heart of Venice and there is a very nice and warm atmosphere in it.

6.1

For Venice, the price quoted is good, but the room was so small that we barely managed to open our suitcase. The receptionist was rather unfriendly, while another was quite creepy was more interested in insisting that we go to his recommended place to eat. No elevator and we had to lug our suitcase up two flights of stairs. Breakfast was decent by Italian standards.

9.5

Lisbona staff is very kind. I could enjoy my stay at Venice. I recommend Hotel Lisbona and Venere.com.

9.1

A very nice, very goof priced and quiet little, nicely decorated hotel on an excellent site (near St. Marco) with very friendly staff and good (buffet) breakfast. What do one want more? The only thing is that you must be lucky not to have a neighbour talking on a high voice with a friend in the room beside you.(Allthough the hotel was very quiet, the walls were thin). Had a very pleasant stay and I will certainly choose this hotel again on my next stay.

8.4

very well located, good service and breakfast the only problem is that there is no lift even though the hotel has three floors. Unfortunately our room was on the third floor...

9.5

My room was very tiny, and I could occasionally hear noises from the room next door. These were the only flaws... But my room was beautifully decorated, filled with antiques, very clean, had a view of the canal, and was air conditioned! The hotel itself is in a very good location (right next to a ritzy 5-star luxury), has 24-hour reception and very helpfull staff. Compared to the 5 other hotels I stayed in Northen Italy this month, this one was the best value for the money, and the most charming! I would definitely stay here again.

9.2

The rooms in this hotel are tiny but in good condition and well kept. Everything is clean and works well. The windows open onto a small canal, which is wonderful. We enjoyed our stay and found the hotel staff helpful.

5.2

The Rooms including bathroom are very small.

6.5

good breakfast, clean room, noise from other guests can sometimes be heard. it would have been great though if there were an elevator as the stairs to the rooms were rather steep.

9.8

A little hard to find, as is everything in Venice, but worth the trouble. I'd stay there again and recommend it to others. Lovely view of the canal, music at night from the nearby campo, excellent service, nice breakfast.

7.0

The room was quite small, but clean and cozy. The location is very good. Friendly staff.

7.4

Difficult to find as no street name given. For the 3 star rating the hotel was good value for money and good location. Drawbacks were: extremely small shower cubicle; very slow water flow to bathroom washbasin and some noise from adjacent bedrooms.

7.6

For Venice, especially given the ideal location, the price is very good. In general I enjoyed the stay, but my stay had some minuses. First, the room was tiny; when I got up from the toilet one day, I hit my eye on the window. Second, there is no elevator. Third, you could hear your next0-ddor neighbors through the heating duct, Fourth, one of the staff members was unpleasant. When I brought a guest to the hotel to hang out for a bit, he asked me right in front of him, "Is he going to stay only for a few minutes." After a half hour, he called my room and asked when my guest was going to leave. This to me was an embarassment, tacky and totally unacceptable. I

7.6

Quiet, small and nice rooms. Good european breakfast. OK.

8.1

nice hotel; nice rooms good stay

8.2

We loved this small hotel. Very clean, warm and attractive. The position was even better than we could have imagined. Our room overlooked a canal where gondolas would regularly glide by. Two minutes walk to St. Marks Square and surrounded by designer shops for window shopping. Harry's Bar only 50 yards away where they serve their infamous Blinis. (peach nectar and champagne. We would definitely stay here again.

8.3

Comfortable and nice hotel. Very well located, close to San Marcos Square and vaporetto's harbour, near La Fenice and Accademia bridge. Pretty rooms not very spacious and kind service. Good breakfast, excellent capuccinos. We enjoied our stay. Whe I come back to Venice I will try again this hotel without doubt.

8.9

The price value proportion had been quite good. The staff had been very friendly and helpfull. The breakfast was excellent for italian conditions and the rooms were very small, but clean (minus : the bath heater was rusty and there was stock spots in the shower).

9.1

Lisbona is a very nice hotel - comfortable, clean and convenient for all parts of "tourist" Venice. We had a really good stay there and can recommend it as a good value hotel. The only point I would make about the hotel description is that there should be a warning that the hotel is not really suitable for the elderly (or others) who have difficulty climbing stairs, as the stairs to the rooms are steep, and many to the 2nd and 3rd floors. There is no lift, at least as far as we could see.

6.8

Location is good. Room was a bit small but it was nice to have a room overlooking the canal, gondoliers were singing as I opened our window. The ceilings are about 20 foot, and there is no lift, which means that if you are on 2nd floor, it's 4 flight of stairs.

9.5

the hotel & location were a lot better than we expected & we felt that we got great value for our money

9.6

I stayed in the Lisbona Hotel in March. I found the small hotel very reasonably priced for the location. The hotel was very clean and the staff was excellent. The location of the hotel made it very easy to get around and our room looked out over a canal. We had our windows open and woke up to the Gondola guys singing. I would highly recommend the hotel and plan on staying there when we go back next year. I loved the fact that it was not a large chain hotel.

9.8

need better directions for baot stops.
