Locanda Armizo - Venice

7.9

Excellent location, quiet but very central, with helpful staff and very spacious rooms. Stayed in the off-season, and the room was very good value for money.

7.7

Our room was fine, but the shower in the bathroom was not all that easy to use. The breakfast was a standard continental breakfast, and the only decaf coffee was instant. Our room was quite dark, even on bright days. I believe the number was 3, so avoid it if possible. The location is great, though we had to ask a couple of people where it was as the entrance is in an alley. All in all we were satisfied, but not thrilled.

8.1

Very friendly staff, spoke fluent English. Breakfast was good, served in our own room. Shower wasn't really clean, and had low water pressure. A/C worked, thankfully. No English TV channels. Very typical Venetian rooms--not the "touristy" type of big-chain hotels--but that was part of the charm!

9.6

Perfect location, nice rooms, but the bathrooms need some improvements.

2.1

Despite I booked weeks ahead, we were bumped because they were overbooked (and the woman at the front desk lied to us by saying unfixable plumbing problem with the SPECIFIC room we had booked). We were sent to their (presumably) sister hotel, Locanda Arts, which is located in the Academia area. At the first look, it looked like a 2-star hotel. The guy at the front desk speaks good English and was friendly. BUT, there were so many bed bugs in the room at night!! It's disgusting! I got bit all over my body by the time I woke up at 1am and realized that they were not mosquitos! My memory of Venice will be forever marred by the horrible experience in this hotel. BEWARE!

7.8

This boutique hotel is ideally located beside the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge, and within walking distance of all the main attractions. It offers good value for money in an expensive city.

6.4

Wonderful location on Campo San Silvestro, in the vicinity of the Rialto bridge. But too many defects for the price paid: One of the 4 beds was in very poor condition (even for a 9-year old child; one hôtel employee watching TV loudly late in the evening outside our room; bulbs missing in some lamps...

HOTEL WAS IN AN EXCELLANT LOCATION. STAFF IS FRIENDLY AND PROFESSIONAL TO THE NEEDS OF THEIR GUESTS. WE HAD A GREAT TIME IN VENICE! THANK YOU

6.7

Very good hotel,excellent location, close to Rialto Bridge (5 min), vriendly staf.Very easy to find.Room clean and facilities near perfect.Fast, easy, cheap, comfortable. Breakfast was good,we liked them...

9.2

Stay in Locanda Armizo was amazing. Maria was very welcoming and she helped us for minute details. Even though we dint know common language we managed well with sign language. We had a proper flat with cooking gas and other facilities so it was very helpful. Thanks for all the help

8.6

I will definitely stay here again if returning to Venice. The hotel is very small and the personalized service incredible. Continental breakfast was included and brought to our room personally at the exact time we indicated to them. The location is the best possible, on the water just a couple hundred meters from the Realto Bridge.

7.6

Very convenient location for exploring Venice. Friendly staff. Good facilities in room. If you don't need public facilities in hotel and don't mind getting breakfast in your room, then this is a good place to stay.

8.3

The hotel meet our expectatives. We were for leisure.

8.6

Very good position, good area and so close to the vaporetto. Noisy bar downstairs but could close windows and use air con to keep cool! Staff very understanding when my card was refused on payment, and I couldn't pay until later in the day. Lovely being able to have breakfast in bed!

10

This hotel was perfect: ideal location; very quiet; very friendly, english-speaking staff; gorgeous room and nice breakfast. We were 100% happy with our stay! Hotel requested cash payment, which is not stated on the website.

8.2

My wife and I had the room over the street. With the windows open, we could hear people late into the night talking and walking as they passed under us. One thing we enjoyed was being a short walk from the Grand Canal and vaporetto. The room was larger than we expected. The employees and owner were very accommodating. Be prepared to carry luggage up one floor.

9.1

Good price, clean modern room, good price, friendly helpful staff. Close to the vapporetto stop but hard to find.

9.8

This B&B is in the oldest part of Venice, the Rialto area, near the Rialto Bridge! You feel as if you are taken back in time when you go into the walkway to the large door of the building. Stone pavement, stone/brick walls, dark, though very safe walkway that takes you, in one direction 30 seconds to the Grand Canal or in the other direction to Campo di San Silvestri which is a large ancient square. We were welcomed by staff and the owner, who were all very pleasant and who spoke English very well. We stayed in a quad room which had a double and two twin beds. The room was clean and accomodated us and our small amount of luggage very well. We were served our breakfast in our room. It was good and consisted of coffee/tea/juice, croissants/pastry and rolls with preserves and butter. We were satisfied and healthy! When I come back to Venice I will definately stay here again!

6.5

Great location, couldn't be better, handy to all attractions. Room was quiet small for a quad room but made do, excellent two day stay.

9.5

Great value- good location, helpful staff, cute breakfast nooks. We stayed three nights, and would stay here again.

8.2

great location near to the rialto bridge & vapparetto stop.Was given a nice spacious clean apartment in annex next to the hotel overlooking campo san silvestro,breakfast was very basic[only negative was that our coffee was stone cold] is brought to your room,the hotel staff also kindly let us store our luggage in the reception until we left later in the day.

9.5

Location is fantastic! Can walk everywhere. In a cute square, rooms were gorgeous. We had our luggage lost by the airline our whole 3 night stay and the staff went out of their way to assist us in following up our luggage claim with the airport - extremely helpful! Would highly reccommend.

6.9

Hotel staff nice. The location was nice, just off the Grand canal and very close to a bus stop and the Rialto Bridge. It wasn't spectacular, but good for the price and location. The room was large with an updated bathroom. One drawback, no elevator.

9.4

A very nice accomodation in a nice area

7.8

Good place to stay in Venice! Although the place is not so easy to find, the location is pretty good and quite near the Rialto bridge.

9.9

Terrific! More an apartment than a room. Gracious and professional management, great experience to view the Biennale and see Venice again. We could only stay 2 days, this place is good for 4 or 5 people. And very discreet.

10

This is an outstanding hotel, very confortable, very close to all interesting places, the service provided by hotel people is excellent, very well located, for my next trip to Venice I will stay again at this hotel.

6.0

The hotel is fine if you're only staying for a day or two. Really close to train station, as well as the taxi stop and Rialto Bridge and shopping. The hotel is really a bed & breakfast, w/no dining room or common areas. The hotel's entrance is from a not-too-lively piazza, and there's no lift. Room is clean but small; same with bathroom. Staff are okay but not really enthusiastic. Not a bad value for Venice, but you get what you pay for. I would recommend for transit tourists; not for long term stays.

8.2

A little bit difficult to find Some noise during the late evening from the bar down stairs Apart from the above, everything was very good Thank You for a nice weekend Peter Almqvist

9.5

A really good choice due to the price and the location, if you do not want a window view. Easy access, two steps from San Silvestro N° 1 bus stop, Rialto, and some excellent wine bars. We just had been surprised to be welcomed by a chinese receptionist, breaking a little the charm to come to venice.

8.3

Even though the hotel is near Rialto bridge, we had to stay at the sister hotel, which was close to the academy. Actually, our room was in sort of a normal building 1 min away from the hotel. The room itself was nice, but it was sooo cold at night, because the heating system wasn't working properly. Beside that, we enjoyed our stay.

8.8

My mother and I really enjoyed our stay at Locando Armizo. We had a large twin room with a small balcony overlooking the square and the staff were very helpful. Our room was over a small bar so it was a little noisy at night-time but it didn't keep us awake. The hotel is around the corner from a vaporetto (water bus) stop and within walking distance of the Rialto market so we were able to walk to most of the main sites. The price was excellent and I would be happy to recommend Locando Armizo.

9.9

Very good place! The hotel is really great! Good price, good location, good employees, everything is great there!

8.7

Cet hôtel est très bien situé: à proximité du pont du Rialto et à 2 minutes de l'arrêt San Silvestro (prendre la ruelle en face puis au bout tourner à droite jusqu'à la petite place; l'hôtel est au dessus du bar, son entrée est dans la ruelle sur le côté). L'hôtel est calme (le bar ferme vers 22h30). Nombreux restaurants à proximité. Accueil agréable, on y parle bien le français. La chambre pour 4 personnes est spacieuse.

8.4

The hotel was excellent for a family. very central. Had a little trouble first founding the place. But if we know where we were going was easy. Breakfast was prompt, and lady was lovely. Area was quiet there is a small cafe/bar below hotel we didn't hear it, but we stayed the begining of thne week.

7.9

The people at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean, but had a slight odor of some sort and you could hear some of the noise outside. The breakfast was brought to our room right on time and was simple but nice.

8.6

Very well located and excellent service. Nice place to enjoy Venice.

9.6

lovely hotel, with a lovely breakfast served in our room, in the center of Venice but very quiet . The room was really clean and bright with beautiful linens etc. it was a bit difficult to find......but a perfect location in Venice!

9.5

We had an excellent room in Venice for a good price. If we ever need another room, we'll book with venere. Thank you.

6.1

I had to pay my stay TWICE! First time the ammount have blocked through venere.com, and second time from me payment on a place have demanded! I am very disappointed. The personnel is not able to work with the terminal for credit cards. There is no bathroom, only a shower.

9.0

C'est un hôtel de niveau 3 étoiles en France. la chambre triple est trés spacieuse (28 m2 !) et vraiment belle, avec une vue agréable sur une place typique. Un peu de bruit en début de soirée à cause du bar en bas, mais tout s'arrange après 23h00. L'emplacement de cet Hôtel est idéal: Tout prés d'un arrêt du vaporetto, à deux pas du Pont du Rialto, et bien centré, ce qui facilite les visites. Nous recommandons cet hôtel de trés bonne facture.

9.8

All very good

9.0

We did not stay in the hotel but in a beautiful apartment next door. We pretended to be Venetians for 4 days!!! Lovely terrazzo floors and windows looking over Piazza San Silvestro, though the high heel shoe wearer upstairs was a little noisy at times. Fantastic location 21 paces from the Grand Canal and just 4 minutes from Rialto Bridge. Lovely to have a traghetto so handy to cross the Canal too. Mediocre breakfast which was sometimes late, sometimes missing cutlery, sometimes missing cups!! The apartment had a kitchen but not well stocked with utensils or equipment, and use of it was discouraged. But with so many reasonably priced restaurants so handy why bother with a kitchen!! The Manager kindly brought our breakfast early on our last day.

9.8

Nous recommandons ce charmant petit hôtel. Notre chambre était confortable et spacieuse. Le personnel toujours très disponible. Le quartier de San Polo est très agréable et très bien situé pour qui désire explorer les différentes facettes de Venise.

9.4

Locanda Armizo was wonderful. Very conveniently located within meters of the Rialto Bridge. The staff was excellent. There is no common breakfast room, so breakfast is served to your room in the mornings, at a time specified by you, the guest. There was a disco close by, but the noise stopped at a reasonable hour. Lovely. We would definitely stay again.

9.8

I was very happy with my stay at Locanda Armizo. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. Good Service, nice employees who helped us out in every situation and the location is great... Right next to Rialto Bridge. The Price was more than cheap for this high standard hotel. I can just recommend this hotel for everyone.

8.2

un petit hotel sympa, bien placé. Le personnel est charmant et disponible 24h/24! Le petit dej' est suffisamment copieux, malgré ce que l'on peut lire! Prévoir un paiement en liquide car ils ont un problème de banque "éternel"!

9.8

We have been in your hotel during our honeymoon. It was a really unforgotten stay!

9.3

We had no trouble finding the hotel and were quite happy with the location. We were given an apartment next door to the hotel entrance and were thrilled to find that we had a kitchen with all the necessary utensils. Our room was delightful, with marble floors and more of a homey feel than a typical hotel room. It was actually better than what I was expecting based on the web pictures. There was enough space to comfortably fit the two beds for the kids as well as a dining table and chairs (plus our bed). Breakfast was served in our room -- choice of coffee, tea, or chocolate and some bread and cheese -- and was good (by Italian breakfast standards). Our only real complaint was that one of the kids' beds was a rollaway that was a bit uncomfortable. Fortunately, the thrill of Venice and other good features of the hotel helped our daughter feel great about it and sleep soundly.

8.6

It was quite difficult to find this hotel without firm directions from someone before you go - get them to write it out exactly. It was a bit concerning when we took a wrong turn when tryng to find the hotel and then were confronted with graffitti on wall that said "kill tourists" and when we wanted to ask locals for directions we were treated like "dumb aliens". When we finally found the hotel (just around corner from where we were looking all along) the staff were very friendly and we were given our own private apartment about four blocks away from main hotel - the apartment was excellent, a home away from home with lots of extras you dont usually get at a hotel such as a washing machine. The area was good away from most of the 'touristy' bits of venice yet close nough to walk - if you can wind your way through the labyrinth of canal laneways etc that make Venice so unique. Overall we had a great stay at Venice. By the way we would like to warn you that the ferry service to the hotel and back was quite expensive and you should consider this in your costs.

9.9

We travelled as a family with 3 kids and stayed at Locanda Armizo in August 2004. It was an excellent experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone going to Venice.

9.9

my main concern was that they never accepted visa for check out whick clearly proved difficult as they were suppose to according to your service and even reserved the room this way. So it took rather a huge chuck of our spening money which we hadn't budgeted for and was left with not a lot to spend in Venice! Other than that i cannot fault the hotel but was annoyed at this.

8.8

This place really is only a few steps from the Grand Canal, and about a block and a half from the Rialto Bridge. Great location, good rooms, helpful staff - we plan to return!

9.8

An excellently located hotel very close to Rialto bridge which enabled a use to explore Venice with ease. The staff where very friendly and we could not have wished for better service over our visit

8.5

We enjoyed our stay at Locanda Armizo. Courteous, friendly and helpful staff. Room was nice, location perfect. Only 2 concerns: 1) hard to locate- on a small back alley, directions were poor. 2)The hotel recommended a free trip to the Murano Glass Factory- forget it. It was a rip-off. One person meets you at the hotel and takes you to the boat, the boat driver takes you to Murano, another person is a salesman who tries to sell you everything, starting with items in the thousands and insisting it's glassware of the 1st quality. They are mostly seconds. We found better glassware for less price at glass shops on the island and we had to pay for our return trip home.

9.6

excellent facility where you can also trust in the restaurant-recommondations of the personal

9.5

Wooow!Venice at X-Mas is a dream and in this superb hotel it is even more enjoyable. Good Service, nice employees who helped us out in every situation and the location is great... Right next to Rialto Bridge (less than 2 min). The Price was more than cheap for this high standard hotel. I can just recommend this hotel for everyone who wants to explore Venice without staying too much in the hotel (because it's not very spacious, but sufficient)!

9.7

I was very happy with my stay at Locanda Armizo. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. Very reasonable and in a good location.

8.4

Very comfortable apartment, good value,convenient location and I would have no hesistation in recommending Locanda Armizo to friends. We will go again if we return to Venice.

8.4

The room was clean and spacious, air-conditioned, in a quiet location but at the same time less than five minutes from the Rialto Bridge. The prices are very reasonable for Venice and I would certainly consider booking with this hotel again.

9.6

Having traveled during which must have been the steamiest summer ever, the inn was most welcomed. We were greeted very pleasantly and and knowing that it was very hot outside, the staff directed us to our room, even before checking in. This allowed the four of us to relax, freshen up and enjoy the airconditioning. This empathy towards guest is commendable and very appreciated. We will likely be return guests. Property location is convenient to everything but very quiet. Although the room was small for four adults (one male,three females)we never felt cramped. Most comfortable. If there is one thing we'd like to see improved is the breakfast. Charge a few euros more, add some delectable brioches and have a cappucino/espresso machine. When we ordered breakfast (in room, nice touch), I guess it was taken for granted we preferred caffe americano. (YUK! not even here at home!)Looking forward to see that change next year!

8.2

Very conveniently located in quiet area close to Rialto bridge but away from crowds. Rooms and service are good value for Venice. Hotel was a bit hard to find because of very discreet signage. The pleasant accommodation contributed to our enjoyment of our 6 days in Venice

8.1

The map should be reviced, or anyone can find the hotel easily.

6.1

The Locanda Armizio is in a great location near the Rialto Bridge. However, it should not call itself a bed and breakfast as the breakfast consisted of juice OR coffee and a piece of bread. The room was tiny and the air conditioning didn't really work. Over all for the price, it was fine, but don't expect much.

8.7

Very nice for a family of 5 to stay together in one room...very good location near the Rialto bridge but not too close.

4.0

The 2 main problems for this hotel were first of all the view from our room which was ridiculous (we were almost without light from outside)and secondly the breakfast which was very light and poor in term of kind of choice (no juice, only some 'biscotte' und bread with industrial marmelade). (This is maybe explain by the fact that there is no room to take the breakfast in this hotel, you have to have it in your room): all this has to be compared to the price of 150Euros per night for a double room. The ratio price to quality is then poor according to my experience. Otherwise, the hotel is clean, the rooms are well decorated, the people are wellcoming and speak several languages. In addition, the hotel is well located in Venice(except that its entry is in a small dark street difficult to find the first time, but people know this place so it was OK to find it).

8.3

Excellent location, very kind staff, for our continental taste, the breakfast was a little bit too poor. Overall, I would recommend the hotel to a friend.

9.9

Wow! What a very nice property and the location was incredible, right around the corner from the Rialto bridge. The breakfast was a bit sparse, but as good as a continental breakfast in any chain US hotel. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Venice. The value and location are superb and the staff friendly and helpful.

8.9

The apartment is excellent, clean, quiet and well equipped. It is small but confortable for 4 people for a few days. The only trouble is that you get the key from an office which is one station away from the apartment.

7.5

There was a misunderstanding with regard to the size of room we expected (an ambiguous e mail). It didn't really spoil the stay because we weren't in the room too much. The only other suggestion would be be a better (hot) breakfast but I suppose kitchen facilities were not available.Staff were apologetic and helpful. D. Newman

9.6

The location of this hotel is fantastic, very near the Rialto bridge, so you can't get lost, but not on the beaten track, so quiet and interesting. The price can't be beaten and the staff are all welcoming and helpful. In particular, we were with a 2-year old. They not only provided a cot but were also willing to keep an eye on him (after he went to sleep) to allow us out for a couple of hours in the evening. I would definitely come here again. The only disappointment was the breakfast, served in your room, but not enough to keep us going for very long!

9.7

my stay was very pleasant, Andrea and Lucio were very friendly and operated the Locanda Armizio very professionaly. I recommend it highly to anyone wanting to spend time in Venice. The location is wonderful, minutes away from the Campo Sylvestro vaporetto stop and minutes away in walking distance to the Rialto bridge and Piazza San Marco. I don't know what else to say other than that I am glad I found it browsing the internet and I sure will stay there again. Claude Tortorelli

9.8

Once found, which wasn't too hard, this was the best accomadation of our trip. Perfect location...24 hour desk service, extrememly nice and helpful people, and the price was excellent compared to everything else in Venize. Our only disappointment was not following their advice for a dinner restaurant. Highly recommended.

9.6

The multi-lingual staff saw to our every need. The location near the Rialto Bridge was quite convenient to anyone arriving by public water transport from the railway station. It was an easy walk to all of the must see attractions of Venice. The rooms were very quiet, immaculate and tastefully decorated. By all means take in the Vivaldi concert recommended by the staff in a nearby 17th century church. While the rooms met our needs as a family of four perfectly, the Armizo would also be our first choice for a romantic getaway. We would not hesitate to return.

8.6

Nice little hotel/B&B; conveniently located in Rialto area; friendly welcome and helpfull staff; spatious and clear rooms at the side of San Silvestro-square; (continental)breakfast minimal for hungry Belgians; overall price/quality relationship OK for Venetian standards.

9.5

I was very pleased that I found Locanda Armizo on Venere.it. It is a nice and quit hotel with an excellent location. Very friendly people and a nice atmosphere.
