Hotel Locanda Canal - Venice

8.0

If is possible explain how is the easier way to go to the hotel, because for me were very difficult to found it. It's a very nice hotel to stay in venice

9.5

We were very satisfied with the location of the hotel and the staff. We intend to use this hotel again in the future and would not hesitate to recommend it. There was a good variety of restaurants in the area, shops etc. We were taking our daughter to stay in Venice for the first time - she thoroughly enjoyed her stay. The staff were very good and very helpful. It helped that they were fluent in english. The rooms were very clean. The breakfast was more than adequate and pleasant. The location was very good for St Marks. The hotel has a flight of stairs to the rooms but the stairs were not steep at all and they do have a chair lift. We read on Trip Advisor that this was a problem - but we found only if a visitor was fairly disabled it could be an issue. The hotel is a credit to the owners and the

8.9

My suggestion for the hotel - make a 10 point advise for tourists about best restaurants in Venice where You can have a meal for different budgets. Our experience is that all restaurants try to make a 150 eur bills for very poor quality. So, local expertise could be very helpful!

Très sympathique Hôtel ou pour une fois la chambre pour une personne n'est pas un cagibis et est dotée d'une petite terrasse donnant sur le canal

9.4

We loved this place. The room was massive and pleasant and the window faced onto the side street so there was some passing noise but nothing to cry about. Breakfast is okay, only one croissant each, but get in early for the Nutella. A great price to be so convenient between San Marco and Rialto, absolute perfect, out of the way location and a wonderful feel. We'd go back in a heartbeat!

9.9

This was an AMAZING location. The directions from the train station via water bus were perfection. I recommend water buses over water taxis. Much more affordable. After you walk off the pier for the 1 line, you walk straight up the alley. Walk up the alley to the left once you reach the dead end, then turn left past the shops and then right down another alley. I only say this because once you get off the boat it is a tad difficult to find the hotel. But just ask for help and you'll find it. Would DEFINITELY stay here again!!! Also, it's only a 10 minute boat ride to the island of Murano. A MUST!

8.5

The room was clean as were all the common areas. The staff was friendly however, they didn't quite speak the level of English I was expecting based on what I'd read about them before I booked. Also, they tended to recommend things to do and places to eat based on if (I believe) they were to receive a commission. The first time that happened we were confused because the lady explaining it had poor English. All we knew is that we were going to Murano in a water taxi. AT which point we were met with an English speaking guide with a cheesy sales pitch to buy his glass. It wasn't a bad experience because the taxi ride was nice and the glass was beautiful but it was just a weird situation. Then she recommended us to go to a "buenissima" restaurant in teatro fenice. Oh, but don't forget to tell them that WE sent you. Um, no thank you. A+ on the room. Staff was definitely nice but I wouldn't necessarily listen to their recommendations because they have ulterior motives.

4.8

This property is really more like a bed and breakfast as a American traveler would probably perceive it. It doesn't have a 24 hour staff. In fact, you are given a key to the front door of the hotel as no one is there to let you in after late in the evening. The staff was very friendly and worked hard to make us happy. Our room was stuffy as the Air Conditioning had not yet been turned on for the season. It was very expensive for the quality by American Standards, however, it is in Venice and you Pay for the location.

9.5

The room was very nice. It was close to the water taxi. I would definitely stay their again.

7.7

The Locanda hotel is a few minutes walk from the main (ferry) station and San Marco square. The hotel is Located in a quiet area, yet it's surrounded by many restaurants and the shopping area. The staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. The room was relatively small, but I enjoyed my stay as my room got a Canal view which compansate the size of the room. Wireless connection is not available if you've got your laptop, however there was a PC available for guests to check their emails. As this was my first time at the Locanada Canal hotel, I will stay there next time I visit Venice.

8.5

Charmant acceuil à l'Hôtel Locanda Canal avec une petite surprise, en fait notre chambre se situe au Pisani Canal Hôtel. La chambre est superbe et l'acceuil d'Anna, notre hôtesse tout autant. Merveilleux séjour, j'y retournerai, peut être pour le carnaval.

9.9

A quaint location in your little room overlooking a canal. A short minute to the Doge's Palace and the main square. Very comfortable for your time in Venice.

6.1

Unlike hotels in other tourist locations we've visited, this hotel was really just a room to sleep in. There was no actual lobby, just a guy at a small desk at the entrance. Breakfast was pastries and packaged cookies that were probably purchased in local grocery stores. The night employee practically refused to give us another towel (had 3 towels for 4 people), then when I insisted, he pulled it from the closet and pitched it on the floor near me. But overall, it was a clean and comfortable room and nothing else from the hotel.

8.5

The hotel was a little basic but excellent value for money. Friendly and helpful staff

9.5

This hotel is set in a perfect central location for getting around and is absolutely charming. Finding it is a challenge but half of the fun. The hotel is situated on a quiet canal.Our room was off of the small breakfast area which was a bit noisy in the morning. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

7.8

We were brought to the other hotel which belongs to the same boss.The room was luxury and quiet.It was close to the Rialto bridge but a little far from St. Mark's square.

6.8

The hotel was hard to find and took some creative means to locate. The room was very small for 4 people. Venice is very "tight quarters" so this is probably the norm. The staff was friendly and the included breakfast was very well done.

8.9

As far the quietness issue, that was because of the noise coming from outside our window.The stret outside of our window had pallets that people had to walk over mad a clomping sound along with the windows not keeping out the noise very well at all. As far as the surounding issue, everything was great except for the same street outside of our window. I don't know who is suppose to maintain it,but it was the dirtiest street that we were on in Venice. Besides the pallets lying in the middle of it, there was trash, dog waste and a pile of dirt up against the building. Other than this, we had a very good and enjoyable experience. T he lady that took care of the breakfast bar and cleaned our room did an EXCELLENT job.

8.5

We enjoyed staying at this hotel, which is well situated near P. San Marco and offers both good and friendly service.

7.1

nice place in nice city. 2days in Venice is 2many.

6.7

1. A hotel should emphasize the fact he does not have an elevatore. 2. A hotel who demands 190 Eu per night should provide a reasonable breakfast, which is not the case in Locanda Canal.

7.0

our stay 4females , was very good, although the lack of facilites was dissapointing, thankgod the weather was good , if it hadnt been then we could not have gone back to our rooms for a hot drink as there was none whatsoever.The shower was fine for us as we are not large people, if you were you would not get in,plenty of hot water, breakfast ok,coffee terrible,location excellant,no hidden charges.All in all a good stay

8.3

I stayed at Locanda Canal in early September 2008 and I found it to be an excellent choice. The biggest plus of all is that it is only a 5 minute amble from St Mark's Square. The staff are friendly and helpful. The second biggest plus is the lovely little balcony where you can sit and hear the men talk in their gondolas, or you can stand and see a lovely view of the canal. The amenities were also very good--excellent air conditioning, and an amazing shower. The room was clean and fine, if a little small. It was very quiet there, which was a bonus. The only real downside of the hotel was its breakfast, which was mediocre at best (no cereal (besides old corn flakes), no fruit, and no hot food (not even toast, I think)), with a tiny eating area with cramped tables. Still, even there there was a good point, in that breakfast is between 8 and 10, which is good for a late riser like me! Another negative which I did not experience is that I have heard that some people can book this hotel, only to find when they get there that they have to go to another hotel-but that didn't happen to me, and I don't think it applies to that many people. Overall, a really good experience, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone without children.

8.0

Breakfast hours too late and too resricted Breakfast adequate Would stay again and recommend to friends

3 days in venice

7.2

Poco espacioso, sobre todo el area para desayuno, con las habitaciones muy cercanas al area de desayuno. Espacio para un máximo de 9 personas en el comedor.

8.9

Somewhat hard to find, but loved looking out on a canal. Easy walk to St. Mark's and Rialto. We were family of four and had very adeguate space.

4.2

There s no relation between the price and the service offered. The Hotel has no elevator and no help is offered to carry the luggage to the first floor (seems like two) where the rooms are located.

5.8

Room was cramped for four. The desk people were good and came and got us when we could not find the hotel. Breakfast was poor.

8.2

Excellent staff, that went out of their way to help. I arrived during a transport strike at 10pm at night so no ferries running. Had to use a water taxi at a rip off price. Even though he had the address of the location, he needed to stop and ring the hotel 3 times for directions. When I arrived at a landing near the hotel, the night receptionst locked up and came and guided me to the hotel. I met some nice people whilst at this hotel

6.6

Too expensive. Extra beds sag down. Room has an old building smell. Need more brighter lights in the room

9.7

This is exactly the kind of place to stay in Venice. Extremely centrally located, only two - three blocks to the Marcus Square. Sercice mindet staff. Cosy, classical building. You can take a taxi boat from the airport directly into the hotel! An experience recommended to all (€95).

6.1

I'm glad that we tok a taxi boat to the hotel. I do think we would have problems finding it. But the locations is fantastic. 3 min from walk from Marcus plass.

8.7

Siamo andati per festeggiare 1 anno dal matrimonio, abbiamo raggiunto l'albergo in 1 attimo da piazza S Marco. Il signore che ci ha consegnato lastanz

The staff were helpful, courteous, well mannered and friendly. Excellent location, quiet yet very close to San Marco. It would be a pleasure to go back to the same hotel.

8.6

This rating is based on booking a room at the Locanda Canal but being redirected to and staying at the sister hotel Casa Pisani Canal.

8.0

Difficult to localise on first hand, but then a lovely place to stay in Venise. Nearby San Marco, but far enough to be a very quiet place.

9.8

A very nice romantic hotel. At first it is very clean and the romm is typical for venice but not to opulent. The hotel is located on a small canal, very quiet but only 3 minutes from St. Marco. Perfectly!!

9.1

Our Venice trip was very good specially with this hotel and the staff. I would stay in "Locanda Hotel" again. Our room was big and clean.

8.8

A comfortable basic hotel. It is very centrally located - five minutes walk, at the most, from Piazza San Marco. One unusual feature; they ask you to keep you hotel keys with you when you leave the hotel because the door is often locked even during the day. Usually there is a receptionist present but apparently not always - they sometimes have to go to another property - so don't lose your keys. There seems to be only one floor for the rooms and there is no lift. Another thing; make sure you know where the hotel is situated as it is by no means the easiest place to find.

7.6

The location is excellent, overlooking one of Venice's many beautiful canals, my room had a private balcony and terrace, however, the Hotel Locanda Canal is NOT by any means a three star hotel as advertised. They have day-old danish and lukewarm hot chocolate for breakfast, and not much else. The hotel desk staff are not very helpful, they could not even break a 50 euro bill for me. I had to request another pillow because they are so flat. They are only a short walk to the Piazza San Marco, and have a great view from the room I had, but not any other rooms. I liked my room, but did not care for the hotel itself very much.

7.6

Great for a single traveller !

8.0

This was a lovely hotel to stay in. Excellent location and lovely service. The room we had was warm, clean and well appointed. We had a private bathroom (tiny shower) and the room contained a double bed, closet, desk and tv. Not huge, but certainly big enough! The breakfasts were really simple and nice - croissants, bread, pie, biscuits, grissini, coffee (delicious!), juice and cheese/jam etc. All staff spoke Italian and some English - enough for us to be understood anyway. It was also excellent to have a free Internet computer available to hotel customers. Our only concern with this place, was that we stayed here over New Year's Eve 07/08 so had to pay significantly higher room charges than we otherwise would have in the off season. Still, in comparison to other places in Venice at that time, it was well priced- 880 euros for two people for 5 nights. I would certainly recommend this place!

8.3

Very handy for sights. Friendly, helpful staff. Good value. No frills. Next time I will ask the person putting the breakfast things out at 6am to be a little quieter, but overall I will go back again soon.

8.6

Well located hotel, small but very comfortable, pleasant staff,good value and would recomend to anyone.

8.5

very convenient for San Marco, Rialto, vaporetti - clean rooms, pleasant staff occasional wait for hot water in the mornings if everyone showered around the same time Breakfast good

7.4

We reserved two days to stay in Locanda Canal, but ended up only staying one day due to our early morning flight from the airport, and our unwillingness to pay top dollar for a water taxi at 3 in the morning. Overall, we were very happy with Locanda Canal - we stayed in a room next to the breakfast area, but it was not terribly loud. We'd hoped to have a view, but our window opened up into a narrow, dirty alley. Again, it was fine - we didn't spend a lot of time in the room. The one disappointment was in having to pay for the 2nd night even though we didn't stay there, which is somewhat understandable. The breakfast was the most generous and varied of any of our Italian hotels, and the room was bigger than we expected. As I said, overall it was a perfectly acceptable room, and not overly priced (in comparison to other Venice hotels).

8.6

Get SPECIFIC directions! You cannot simply exit the vaporetto and stumble into the hotel. We wandered for nearly two hours in the rain, so irritated with each other that we finally split up on the bet that the last one to the hotel had to buy dinner that night....the kids and I won! Also, do not visit Venice without a compass and a very good map! All that said, the hotel was a good value and in a convenient central location. While the room was a little snug for four it met our needs, and the bathroom was downright spacious (see photo) which helped with changing clothes, etc. We didn't have a view as we were directly across and 8' away from a home, but it was nice to open the (two) windows and shutters over the road/alley below and still have privacy. The ceiling was very hight, and the furniture had a bit of character and style. Be sure to visit the Rialto Bridge, San Marcos, and the Grand Canal. DO NOT plan to visit Venice in a mere 24 hours, unless you are on a tour....especially if you are going to spend several hours lost in the rain with your luggage! Ciao.

7.6

Hard to find but worth it when you got there. Good central location. Staff very accommodating. Only complaint - showers too small.

8.8

General experience was good

8.4

Holiday to Venice, room excellent with my own little terrace, quiet and great internet access, breakfast good and helpful lady.

6.8

Séjour de deux nuits dans cet hotel. Parfait pour un court séjour. Pas évident à trouver sans carte mais le personnel est compétent français/anglais/italien. Zone très calme au bord d'un canal, endroit très. Assez central pour un petit hotel.

9.9

My room was beautiful and very spacious. The bathroom is on the small size though. The staff, Claudio, Tuffik and Renato were very nice. The location is perfect, a couple of blocks away from St. Mark's Square. This was my first time in Venice, and looking forward to go back again. One tip: I had a very hard time trying to exchange traveller's checks. The exchange houses charge a very high percentage on the total amount, and not all of the banks take them, they only charge a one time fee that can go up to 15 euros. Most businessess would not take them. So do some research about using your own ATM card and what fees will be added every time you get money. The most important thing: Travel Light! As you are going to be doing a lot of walking to get to the hotel. Also, there is no elevator, and you will have to take your own bags to the 2nd floor.

8.7

We were moved to the sister hotel cause he was booked and the other hotel was beatiful. The only problem is when we got home and checked our charge card they charged us 3 times for the room cause there visa machine did not have paper in and the clerk kept swippin the card. But the up gradeed room for the same price was much nicer.

9.9

excellent interior of rooms - you feel like in Medieval Venice; convenient location in the very center (3-4 minutes to S.Marco); nice surroundings (quite canal and typical houses); more than excellent selection of TV programs; small bathroom; breakfast is rather limited. generally, the hotel is really splendid; shortcomings are fully compensated by its advantages; when I come to Venice next time, I will stay in this hotel again. Price always seems too high, but compared to the market level and other hotel prices, Locanda Canal offers quite adequate rates

9.2

Map and directions were good. However, we missed the last turn on our first attempt because we didn't walk far enough into the little courtyard to see the small passageway on the right to the hotel. (We came from the San Zaccharia vaporetto stop.) But as getting lost in Venice is part of the fun, we didn't mind retracing our steps a few times until we saw a kind gentleman pointing towards the little passageway opening. Apparently this happens a good bit of the time.

5.4

Hotel was well situated, steps from Piazza San Marco, walk up one floor. Our room was right outside hallway and breakfast area, so was noisy in the early AM. Room was small, bath was nice size, shower was tiny. Overall was adequate for our needs. Location made up for size of room.

9.9

I stayed in a single room at the Hotel Locanda Canal in Venice for four nights in April 2007, after booking it on Venere.com. The Locanda Canal is a three-star hotel, and the rate quoted was 120 euros a night. As things turned out, the hotel was perfectly suited to my needs. It was a five-minute walk from the San Zaccaria vaporetto stop, and the walk was entirely level (with no ups and downs over canals) so that I could wheel my luggage all the way there. It was my first visit to Venice, and the map provided at the hotel's own website was a godsend. (This matters. During my four days in Venice, everywhere I looked I saw lost tourists, toting huge amounts of baggage, searching in vain for their hotels.) As well, the hotel was only about a two-minute walk from Saint Mark's Square. The room was a typical size for a three-star hotel in Europe (and considerably smaller than a typical North American or Australian hotel room, of course). It even had a small terrace, with a table and two chairs, overlooking the canal below. It had a full tile bathroom which was a bit cramped, particularly to access the shower stall, but spotlessly clean. The room was elegantly furnished, as were the public spaces including the breakfast room. Breakfast was a perfect start to the day, consisting of croissants, fruit, yogourt, and coffee, served on small tables with linen tablecloths. There was also a computer station provided, at which hotel guests could check their e-mail. At check-out, the price I was charged for the four nights was exactly 480 euros. There were no surprise last-minute charges of any kind. Without question, I would stay there again and would recommend it to others.

7.4

While I agree that the hotel was difficult to find, we asked many nice people and eventually got there. To be fair, everything in Venice is hard to find! One employee in particular was extremely helpful with suggestions of where to eat and how to get water buses, etc. The rooms were nice (I was in two different ones), and the breakfast was adequate. I'd stay there again.

7.5

The Locanda Canal has a good location and close enough to St. Mark's Square and next to another good square, San Maria Fromoso?. It was hard to find as most things are in Venice. Only complaint is our room (102) was next to the public bathroom and when entering/leaving the room the smell of the sewer system would be quite strong. Also, when using the A/C the same smell would permeate the room. However, the staff were quite friendly and we'd return if ever there again. Ciao!

6.9

the hotel is not confortable because there is no elevator, and nobody help you with your luggage. the room is very very small and the extra bed is very unconfortable, the shower is extremely small, and your have to walk with your luggage in the streets to reach the hotel.

9.4

I travelled alone, so had a single room, which was tiny, but I did expect that in Venice. However, it had it's own little terrace overlooking the canal, which was lovely. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean and nicely furnished. The hotel was quiet, although only five minutes from St Mark's Square. Free internet access was important to me, as I needed to be in contact over some business. There is a lounge upstairs adjacent to the breakfast area, but no space in the tiny lobby downstairs to sit or bring guests. This didn't bother me, as I was only there for a few days, and spent most of my time out of the hotel. I do think the directions could be more specific. I was lugging a heavy suitcase and had to ask directions before I managed to find it. The breakfast is basic, but fine. The whole hotel is tiny, but well-decorated and run. Friendly staff. I would stay there again.

6.8

to get around venice note a point of interest, eg rialto bridge then follow the (mainly)yellow signs to the bridge. its much simpler than trying to locate streets on maps as they are too numerous and small. to return to locanda canal simply follow yellow signs to san marco.

7.3

On arrival we were told being put up in their other hotel which is 10 mins walk away - a nuisance if dragging/lifting luggage up and down stairs - no assistance given with this. the comments relate this hotel. this was not staffed except during breakfast/cleaning and only 5 rooms with hall area for breakfast. The room was large by italian standards, clean quiet, comfortable and the location good next to San Giovanni e Paolo and 5 mins from Rialto

7.8

We were lost for a while as we tried to locate the property. We generally liked the room. It was not that spacious, but this was expected, having been to Europe before and seen the room sizes. The shower, however, can barely fit one person! The staff was very helpful including Alex and the owner, Claudio! We would definitely stay here again.

7.9

I would highly recomend the Locanda Canal. We had the Junior Canal Suit and were very impressed. Loved the light fittings.

7.3

Hard to find the place, rooms a bit cold, breakfast poor,although the location is very close to San Marcos

8.5

Though located on a smaller canal, the Locanda Canal was not too difficult to find. The room was a little small, but not unexpected given the engineering challenge of building anything in Venice. Reception was very personal and helpful. Overall, we had a nice stay for the $$$

8.9

Extremely well located hotel with surprisingly luxuriously furnished room. Slightly cramped breakfast room but food made up for it. Would stay there again and recommend it to others.

9.0

Very pleasent, small hotel in a good location.

4.1

Bathrooms very cramped and shower did not work properly. Our other guests had same problems with "funky" shower. Hotel location excellent. Food below average, but ok.

9.5

I spend a great holiday in Venice with my husband, it is a wonderful and romantic destination, and i would like to came to visit again and to feel the amazing atmosphere. I recomend to everybody to visit Venice because is a unic and different place like anywhere.It is imposible to describe what you feel when you are in Venice. It was my dream to visit Venice and i am very happy because I visited.

8.4

very spacious and beautiful "Triple room" in Casa Pisani; beautiful view on the canal; venitian furniture. breakfast is not very good.

8.3

Hotel location is very close to San Marco, but at the arraival time, bit hard to find it. On the other hand, quiet in the night and easy to access to the main public area of the town. People in the hotel are very warm, and help anything if I asked any questions or requests. Every time they think for the secure of the entrance of hotel, it feels very safe to stay. It is nice idea for you to stay this hotel when you are at Venice.

8.5

this hotel is very good placed. behind the San Marco place, but in a very quite place. too clean, good breaksfast and good attention of the employees.

8.2

The only problem we had was finding the hotel. The reason for this was that the street plan in our Venice guidebook spelt the street name differently to on the hotel details. In our map the street is spelt Calle d Rimedio, instead of Fondamenta del Remedio as written on the hotel details. Hopefully this information will help others find the hotel easily. Apart from this we were very happy with our choice of hotel.

8.2

Overall, we were pleased with our short stay here. Nice sitting area with internet access. Breakfast is just basic, but okay. Room size and ambiance excellent for the pricing. In a pretty setting. Neighborhood is a little farther from the vaporetto than we expected. If you're walking with heavy luggage from the vaporetto it can be a little hard. Location is good for getting to main places in Venice.

8.8

When I arrived at the hotel, the person at the desk told me my single room was not available, but they had a room for me at their sister hotel. Since I had read about this common occurance on other Venere rated hotels, I wasn't totally surprised to hear this. The person at the desk walked me to the other hotel, which was smaller and not quite as nice as this one. However, the room was extremely quiet, clean and I was satisfied with the place overall.

9.1

for some reason we do not stay in the Locanda Canal Hotel and they gave as in some other hotel that they have.9Junior Suite in the same prices).

9.1

Good localization, near from "Piazza San Marco". The breakfast is very good and the rooms are clean.

5.9

This hotel is a good choice if all you want is a room in Venice. There is no lobby to speak of and the breakfast was so so at best. Our room was nice but the bath room was extremely small. The shower was so small we couldn't bend down to wash our feet! The location is great but hard to find. Once you get aclimated to Venice it's OK. The hotel bosts a canal view. It's a small canal that we discovered was used to unload supplies in the morning. At 7:00 am in the morning we were awoken by the sound of beer kegs being unloaded from the boat. Overall it's an integral part of Venice, if you want to be in the middle of things, this is a good place to be. The desk clerk was very pushy about a certain restuarant he wanted us to use as well as a boat trip to an island to buy Venician glass. It made us feel like he was benefiting from it.

5.2

El hotel se encuentra en la isla principal, cerca de la plaza de san marcos, por lo que no está mal situado. La vistas son nulas. En general no está mal para pasar solamente una noche en venecia. Tiene minibar y las botellas pequeñas de agua cuestan 2€ (bastante caras, ¿no creeis?). No volvería a este hotel.

7.8

I chose this hotel as I particularly wanted to be close to S. Marco. It was a couple of minutes walk away and not too difficult to find. However, we had booked a Junior suite and were not told until we arrived that this was in the second hotel, some five to ten minutes walk away and not where we wanted to be. Apart from this everything else was very good. The room was small but beautiful, very clean and comfortable with two balconies overlooking the canal (a bit noisy during the night). We were given a very warm welcome and had nothing to complain about. Staff were very friendly and helpful and we were able to leave our luggage all day after we had checked out as we had an evening flight. The price represented very good value for money and I would definitely use it again. Very charming.

wonderful hotel, friendly staff, room was lovely.very good value for money.location was great as was very near to san marco square yet in a quiet location, i would reccommend this hotel to anyone going to venice.

8.5

Excellent location but need a good street map of Venice to find.

7.8

We were initially very disappointed as when we arrived after a long day's travelling we were checked in and then told that the hotel was full and we were to be put in the annex. We had booked three months in advance and could not understand any reason for the overbooking. We felt, although we were not told this, that we might have been singled out for this as we had already booked and at 7.30pm after a long days tavelling we would just accept it rather than start looking for an alternative hotel. We agreed to stay for one night and review the situation in the morning. At this one of our two booked rooms was immediately upgraded to a junior suite, and the folowing morning our second room was also upgraded (we subsequently discovered that the second suite had been avaialbale the first night as well). We therefore agreed to stay for the remaining three nights. All other aspects of our stay were excellent, and if indeed we had been offered the upgrades on arrival without having to demand tem we would have little to complain about at all.

9.6

We liked very much the Locanda Canal,its personal and its surroundings. We will come back.

7.8

Nous avons réservé la junior suite de l'hôtel. Mais il y a une erreur sur le site Venere : la photo très alléchante ne correspond pas à la "suite" du Locanda Canal (en fait, une chambre plus grande que les autres). En effet, la photo de votre site présente la junior suite (une vraie suite celle-là) de l'hôtel associé du Locanda Canal (le Casa Pisani Canal). Nous avons donc été assez déçu de ne pas trouver ce que nous avions réservé. Autre point décevant pour le prix, une salle de bains minuscule. Cependant, la chambre était agréable, avec vue sur un joli et très calme canal. Service correct et aimable. Attention en hiver : la "junior suite" est mal chauffée, elle peut (comme pour nous) être assez froide !

Because of odd scheduling, I was only in Venice from 9pm Sunday through 8am Tuesday. The Locanda was a great base from which to begin/end walks of the city. I covered a lot of ground and always had a good place to come "home" to. The single room was small, but clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good and the staff all friendly and helpful. I plan to return to Venice and the Locanda in 2006.

joli petit hôtel à la décoration très romantique. Idéal pour un séjour en couple. Notions d'anglais obligatoires pour se faire comprendre. REMARQUE : nous étions à Venise le jour d'une "aqua alta" ; si l'hôtel avait pu nous procurer les pratiques bottes d'un jour!!! cela aurait été formidable.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was a bit dark and not as spacious as it looked from the pictures on the web. Breakfast was very basic but very good value for money and the location is fantastic.

Was a little hard to find. Can be scary at night to walk thru the alleys to the main square, especially if you arrive for the first time at night. Also long flight of stairs up. The room was nice though and well kept and had satelite TV. Nice quaint antique furniture. Price could have been lower.

We spend with my wife a lovely week end in Locanda Canal. This hotel is very quietand a few steps to the center or Venice, we had a little junior suite very space, but the bathroom wasn't (too little for us); But no problem to stay 3 days. The welcoming was very cordial, and without any problem it was possible to leave our luggages in the room the last day up to the end of the afternoon. The breakfast good (excellent coffe) It's a charming hotel to stay 2 or 3 days for people who want to be quiet

We couldnt have asked for a better hotel, the location was great, once we eventually found it!

8.2

Generally a good place to stay for the proximity to St Mark Sq. Unless you opt for the "suite", the other rooms are really small but that's quite the norm in Venice. The suite however has some problems with the heater and can be fairly cold at night. Breakfast is not fantastic but the fact of its location still makes up for its inadequacies. Late checkout is not possible though. Would i stay there again??? Maybe I'll try another place along the grand canal

We - my daughter and me - stayed at Locanda Canal in October 05 and we were pleased to have choosen this place. The people were very friendly and helpful. But the most helpful was a perfect description how to find the place starting with a vaporetto at Piazzale Roma. I've received this discription on demand and I recommend everybody to do so, otherwise it is really difficult to find this little nice hotel. I wouldn't hesitate to choose this hotel once again.

Although in a nice location, we found this hotel a disappointment. The photos indicated that the rooms would be far larger (we needed an extra bed and had to change rooms as the first was so cramped). Both times our rooms lead straight into the breakfast area - we heard the tables being laid around 2.30 am every morning! Also, wasn't great having the staff loo next to our second room (used before or after the table laying). Other qualm was breakfast tables scarcely big enough for one person, let alone three, and breakfast itself wasn't that good. Front of house staff were very nice, but think we'd go elsewhere next time, it was expensive for what we got.

WE STAYED AT THIS CHARMING HOTEL FOR 3 NIGHTS AND LOVED IT. THE STAFF ARE VERY FRIENDLY, KNOWLEDGABLE AND HELPFUL. THE BREAKFAST ROOM IS VERY SMALL, OTHERWISE, IT IS A PERFECT PLACE TO STAY IN VENICE. WE HAD THE JUNIOR SUITE (FOR LESS THAN MANY OF THE VENICE HOTELS CHARGE FOR A SINGLE ROOM) AND IT WAS SPACIOUS AND LOVELY. THE HOTEL IS CONVENIENTLY LOCATED, THERE IS A WATER TAXI STOP VERY CLOSE BY AND THE STAFF MADE DINNER AND TOUR RESERVATIONS FOR US. WE WOULD DEFINITELY STAY HERE AGAIN AND YOU SHOULD TOO.
