Ca' Leon D'Oro - Venice

The stairs were steep, but the welcome was second to none. The room was good (by the standard of hotel rooms in Venice) Clean, comfortable, suprisingly quiet for its central location just off the Rialto bridge. A good self service continental breakfast. The staff were cheerful and very helpful, recommending restaurants, and calling shops to check they were open over Easter. And we received an unexpected chocolate egg on Easter Sunday! Recommended.

great position, very nice hotel

SUPER

We truly enjoyed our stay. It was an easy walk to St Mark's Square, and just steps from the Rialto Bridge. The staff was super helpful, friendly, and professional. We stayed in the room at the top... the steps are many, but if you don't have a problem with the climb, it was a great room with the private balcony. Francesco was very accommodating and super helpful! The breakfast was ample and tasty, and the espresso/latte machine made a delicious morning beverage.

Outstanding staff and excellent location. Only 3 minutes walk from Rialto bridge and 7 minutes from P. San Marco. Comfortable, clean and cosy accommodation. Very good breakfast. Would surely stay there again.

Very convenient location, close to Rialto and the vaporetto. Good directions given for finding the hotel and very helpful staff on the reception.

This inn only has 5 rooms but the place is so safe and quiet. The place is so clean and the staff were very helpful, friendly and hospitable.

quite expensive but the location was good for us The staff were excellent We had not been told we needed to climb 50 stairs to our room!

we enjoyed our stay, location very convenient to the Rialto Bridge, breakfast excellent in nice breakfast room, difficulty in getting suitcase upstairs, very friendly staff, we can recommend it to any traveler on a budget.

The hotel was in a very good location near Rialto bridge and St. Mark's Square if you want to be by main tourist attractions. If I return to Venice in month of July again, I actually will not stay in the main tourist area because so many tourists and crowds and less in other areas of Venice. The room (2 twin beds) that we had was smaller than what you see in the photos (rooms appear much more spacious on web photos) but clean. The guy at the desk was very helpful and friendly and gave us a great recommendation for dinner. However, the girl did not. We asked her for a restaurant that made homemade pasta and she sent us to a tourist restaurant that did not! But overall, we were happy with our stay here.

It's close to Rialto bridge and the bus ferry station, convenient to catch the next train at the central terminal station with water transport from hotel in 10 mins. Hotel room was clean. The one we paid for comes with an attached bathroom and accompanying sunroof to suntan if you wish. It was a pleasant surprise. Breakfast was below average for our standards in our country but i guess comparable to other hotels in Venice.

A small breakfast room with 5-6 small tables and the food (rolls and jam) and coffee were terrible. We ate there only once( stayed for 4 nights). " The reception" was a desk in a door opening in the middle of a VERY long and steep stairs! With a heart condition and a bad hip we both had trouble with the stairs. VERY DISSAPOINTED with the hotel. The only thing that was GREAT , was THE LOCATION near to the Rialto bridge. But we will not recommend this hotel to others.

Very good. Met interesting people from other parts of the world. Staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. Rooms small but adequate for our short stay. May not suit if you're planning to stay for a while. Loved the fact it was small we really enjoyed our stay.

Our stay here was wonderful!. The staff were very helpful upon arrival and during our stay. We had a triple room which was a good size. The location is outstanding and is only steps away from the Rialto Bridge.

We spent 4 nights and were very happy. Our host did not speak English but was very helpful non the less. The room was close to the metro, which will take you anywhere you want to go so it was very convienient. We were also given the name of a taxi driver to pick us up at the airport and he recommended a grat place for gelato and dinner - both were fantastic.

For our 25th anniversary, my husband and I brought our 3 kids to Europe. I consider it great luck that we discovered Ca' Leon D' Oro. The location was a stone's throw away from Rialto bridge and this made moving about Venice very convenient. The front desk personnel were very accommodating. Elinore in particular was very helpful.Despite being a small hotel, they provided all the essential comforts of home. I would definitely be staying at this hotel again given the opportunity.

For the money, this hotel was fine. We knew what we were getting- a very basic room in a good location in Venice- so we were prepared. Ok breakfast, nice staff. Very, very thin walls.

This hotel is ideally located a few steps from the Rialto Bridge, down a quiet alley off Campo San Bartolomeo. It really could not be more central for sight-seeing in Venice. We had a triple room which was spacious, well furnished and very comfortable. The breakfast room was very cramped and breakfast was adequate, if a little eccentric - almost like being in a mobile home - but we had some good laughs with our fellow residents! Great value for money and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would go back. The hotel has steep stairs (we were lucky to be on first floor) and no lift, so would not be suitable for anyone with walking or climbing problems.

This Hotel is beautiful!Clean, warm, right next to Rialto bridge.Our room was sweet, clean, with a smell of rose, every detail was very nice.Leaving money in safe is secure and everything all.Staff is helpfull and kind.Breakfast is ok, everything sweet.Little advice is to put something salted.I will never forget this accomodation and I will recommend it to everyone!

Very good price/quality ratio; breakfast could be much much better with a little investment.

We truly enjoyed our stay in Ca' Leon D'Oro. It was conveniently located very near the Rialto Bridge. Our room was on the top floor, which had its own terrace, which we enjoyed even during winter. The room was clean and functional. Breakfast was very hearty, with a variety of croissants, rolls, yoghurt, juices, coffee (it was the best on our trip). The staff was friendly and helpful. Just an advice, you would need to climb many stairs so be prepared. All in all, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

im soooo happy with this hotel, its location is very privileged, it is wonderful, the personal is very nice and the breakfast too definitely i will come back!

A wonderful little place very close to the Rialto bridge, yet very quiet located. Room and bathroom big enough and very clean, good matress for a good night sleep. Very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast italian style, for us enough. Highlight was the coffee machine what a nice choice of coffee. Should the hotel be booked you might hear your room neighbours. Perfect location to explore Venice and we will return next year.

Very nice location and friendly staff. The building has no elevator and steep stairs. This place is not for old timers unless they travel very light. Only a strong, healthy person could lift large heavy luggage up.

Two wonderful nights in Venice. Great location near Rialto, easy to find. Biggest room we had during our entire stay in Italy (including 4 star hotel in Rome) and in-room bathroom nice after shared hall bathrooms. Friendly staff recommended a good place for lunch a ten minute walk away.

People very friendly. They can improve the breakfast. Quiet and calm. 5 minutes walking from Piazza San Marco. I enjoy very much it.

Very good location (just 1 minute to Rialto Bridge). Very kind staffs. Nice breakfast.

We started our Italy vacation in Venice. The location of the B&B is more than perfect, the room was very clean, the breakfast was good and the staff was excellent.

The hotel was great, staff very helpful since I made the reservation they contacted me via email. I would recommend it to others.

The room was very spacious, especially for Venice. The location was perfect, between the Rialto Bridge and Saint Mark's Square. The breakfast was average for Venice. The only down side was the steep, narrow staircase leading to the main floor where the rooms are located. But I would stay here again.

This was our first experience of Italy, and Venice, and we could not have found better accommodation. Friendly, efficient, welcoming and informative service, and excellent location.

Charming and clean hotel Reception of very good quality Very good geographical location

Every thing was perfect. Thanks again to the staff.

Great place to stay, we would definitly go back there next time. It was a great price for the location it was in. Clean and big room. Great location too, right next to the Realto bridge, so anytime you get lost, just look for Realto signs and you'll easily find your way back from anywhere. Breakfast is fresh bread and croissants, yogurt, coffe and juices. Great light breakfast to start the day.

clean room staff very good;; it was for our 34anniversary wedding;; so we received small attention;; very kind action if i can given note;; ot ll be closer 16 on 20 i recommend this hotel;; good situation closer rialto and not so far from st marco and as during our stay; one week ;; visiting only by walking;; never lost because rialto

The staff was very friendly and knowledgable. The breakfast was adequate but marginal compared to other Italian B&B's/hotels. The room was vary noisy at night and had an sewer type odor in the bathroom. Not as clean as some we stayed in.

excellent location lovely, clean and quiet staff very helpful would recommend to friends. Breakfast room small but adequate. An enlish channel on tv would be nice.

Everything was very good :)

nice room, very clean, very nice location, but our room was really close to the reception and the breakfast room so it was noisy

Very good Hotel, in the nearby of Rialto's Bridge. Perfect for staying in Venice

Very clean, very well placed, calm. The Rialto stop is very close. Correct value for money as for the well placed hotel in Venice (in October was about 90-100 euros per night with breakfast). Breakfast was modest but sufficient.

Excellent staff. Very welcoming and helpful. Location is good and close to Rialto Bridge. Rooms small but comfortable. Breakfast basic but sufficient.

The rooms were by Venice standards a good size. Staff were very helpful and pleasant. Bit of a trudge up two flights of stairs to the reception though and breakfast although normal in Italy was a little bland. Overall for a short break good value for money, about two minutes from the Rialto and about seven to San Marco. Ask the girls on reception to recommend a good eatery!

We very much enjoyed our stay. Quiet and peaceful atmosphere but just a few steps from the Rialto Bridge! A perfect location for travellers a little past the clubbing age who are looking for good value for money. Room was pleasant but not large. Staff helpful and friendly. The only area for improvement would be the breakfast room, which is rather cramped, and the coffee (from a vending machine) which was poor. Steep stair access might be a problem for some people although it wasn't for us. We would happily stay there again and would thoroughly recommend the hotel to friends.

Guilia and Eleanora were extremely helpful and made us feel very much at home. We stayed in a triple room. The location was very convenient, near the Rialto vaporetto stop and since we had bought a vaporetto pass, we used the water taxis quite a bit.

We stay for 3 Nights is Venice and we had room number 5 with privat balcony on the top of the building. Was very nice and romantic.But the room number 5 is smaller then another 4 rooms. We will return to this hotel. We say thank you very much for hotel staff.

Our room was behind the reception desk, it was very loud each morning. The breakfast was pretty weak. However, the service was great, the room was nice, the location was good and easy to find (easy to find in Venice terms, that is).

Everything was excellent. Eleonora ( one of the owners )was very friendly and helpful. They have no elevator, but she helped me with my bag ( I am not young ). The place is very clean and quiet, lovely furniture in the room and a very nice bathroom. I would say is a place "fatto con amore ".The location is great. We were a group of 3, and very pleased with Ca Leon d`Oro. I recommend this place to other travellers .We occupied one room. I don.t know how many rooms the place has.

we stayed there for only one night.the hotel is just on the corner of ratile ponte and very convient for tourist.the room is good ,quiet and clearness,thank for the beautiful receptionist of her enthurism and patience.

This property is very well maintained and the employees are all very competent and speak English quite well. The location is very convenient to all major sites in Venice and is very easy to find. The rooms are rather small but probably normal for Venice. There is no elevator and there are quite a few stairs to climb. This was not a problem for us, but could be for people with young children and a lot of luggage. Our room was quite quaint and small, but we had a stair up to the balcony. This was wonderful for us because it gave us a place to put out laundry to dry!

No elevator, so you had better pack lightly or be in very good shape. There are no amenities here to recommend the hotel. Location is very good and rooms are quiet. Very basic.

* We had 2 differents rooms during our stay: room 5 (5 nights) is the smallest but also very quite: we recommend. Eurosport in German available (but not in room 2!) * Room 2 was larger but noisy (1 night) * Welcoming & relations are excellent. Ready to help and with large smiles! * breakfast awful but we knew it before thanks to other comments. * location is almost unbeatable (50 meters to Rialto).

The hotel has a good location, just off the Rialto bridge...close to the vaporetto stop. The decor is old but the room itself is spacious. One of the front desks is not very nice to me (compared to when she talked to the other couple who was in line before me), but the others are. Breakfast is alright...nothing special.

We were made to feel welcome from the time we checked in. The hotel is a real find - centrally located but very quiet with a decent restaurant next door and a wonderfully helpful staff who made reservations for all tours and concerts. Would definitely stay there again.

Breakfast was adequate but not generous. The hotel staff was helpful but their suggestion of a restaurant was not good. There was a lot of noise from the street at night and if the shutters and windows were closed, the room was very stuffy. The room was small but extremely clean. I would recommend the hotel as an excellent value for the money in overpriced Venice. We stayed in Venice for three nights.

I made a mistake on the booking and the staff were very helpful there was not a problem. It was the first time I had stayed at this hotel and found it to be very central to everything. I liked the idea of having a key to the front door. Maybe the only problem was the stairs and no lift.

Fabulous location close to rialto bridge and st Marks Square. Friendly staff, spotlessly clean rooms. Breakfast provision adequate but dining room was a little busy when full. Tea and Coffee making facilities during the day would have been really useful!

Me and my husband we liked this hotel very much and we shall stay in Ca' Leon D'Oro again. Staff is very kind and helpful. Breakfast is good. I recomend to visit the taverna Da Mamo nearby hotel - they serve tasty meals!

it's a tipical little hotel of venise there is onely 5 rooms we are very happy to have choice this hotel

Friendly staff, easy access, good location, great value for money.

My husband and I were in Italy for our first time. Venezia was our first "get away" trip from the business issues he'd been dealing with in Torino. The staff at the Ca' Leon D'Oro was wonderful. Both were pleasant and even wished my husband a happy birthday the day before and the day of his birthday. We had the smaller room on the top floor, but had no arguments about anything. We knew there were no lifts and that didn't bother us. The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was small but modern, and had everything a person needed. We were just a few minutes from the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Square, but the hotel was very quiet. The staff gave very good directions to us over the phone as to how to find them. The English spoken was very good. We truly preferred this cozy hotel over the 4 star hotel we'd been staying at in Torino. If we ever get another chance to visit Venezia, we'll stay at the Ca' Leon D'Oro again in a heartbeat. I do have to stress that if you're not in good health, that this probably isn't the hotel for you. There are several stairs to climb including one flight of stairs before you reach the reception desk.

Ideal location only 2 minutes from Rialto. Very quiet.

The reception personnel is friendly, the room is clean, the location is excellent, very close to Rialto Bridge and San Marco, and the price is unbelievable.

Nice hotel, with a perfect location and very friendly and helpful staff. I would recommend it to everybody who wants to visit Venice for 2-3 days.

Excellent relation quality-price. We enjoy our stay in Venice. The situation is perfect: just 5 minutes walking from Pz.San Marco. Staff really kind and polite.

The best thing about Ca' Leon D'Oro is the location. Located practically off the steps of the Rialto Bridge. This allowed us to "get lost" in Venice w/out worries, as anytime we'd want to get back home, we'd just follow the many signs pointed to the Rialto Bridge..and our hotel was right there. We stayed on the 2nd floor of the hotel (no elevator). Very clean and spacious...surprisingly bigger than our B&B in Rome. Beds are not the best..very springy. Staff is very warm and welcoming. Also left the breakfast room open for us, as we had to check out earlier that 8:15am. We were given a set of keys..so no checking in/out all the time. Internet was 5 euros for unlimited usage. Would definitely stay here again.

Very close to Rialto Bridge so very convenient. Rooms nice. Worlds heaviest hotel front door. Room wasn't ready although we arrived exactly when we said we would in the confirmation email. Although the sign on the front door stated reception available from 8am to 8pm, the receptionist left at 7pm leaving us with no way to pay at 7:10pm (6am departure the next morning)After a frustrating cell phone call with somebody at the other end of a cell number on a card at the desk, the receptionist came back and scolded us for being mistaken-the reception closing time is 7pm she said. When I pointed out the sign downstairs on the front door says 8pm, she replied, "Well that is an old sign" and proceeded to show me a "new" sign in the reception area behind luggage, behind a curtain. She didn't seem to take the logical suggestion to edit the sign below on the entry door (you know the one everybody can see...) very well, so I doubt it has been changed.

I would definitely recommend this hotel. It is literally just feet away from the Rialto-great location in the heart of the action, yet quiet. The front desk staff is great. They speak very good English which is so helpful. The breakfast was the best we had in Italy (where breakfast usually isn't much). It was a couple pastry options, coffee, juice yogurt and cereal. The room was clean, spacious, comfortable beds, very reasonably priced mini bar. There is a super market close by which we always use to keep our beverage cost down. Make sure you take the directions on your confirmation from Venere, they are excellent and you'll need that level of detail. The only caution is steps...lots of them, steep and narrow. Get a Donna Leon novel for your trip to Venice. She's an American author who lives in Venice and uses it as the setting for her books. The best tip we got was the ramp at the train station if you are wheeling luggage. As soon as you get off the train, just off the front of the tracks, go left. There is a door to a ramp so you can avoid the steps. Murano was the only site we took in that wasn't worth our time.

The location of the hotel was very good, easy to get to from the Rialto Bridge and other attractions. The price is good for Venice. The drawback is walking up several flights of stairs with luggage (no elevator).

I like this hotel very much. The room is spacious and very clean. The hotel is lacated at very attractive and convenient place(very close to the Rialto bridge). I definately choose this hotel again if I have a chance to go to venice again.

The room was very big, good, excellent free internet. The only thing very poor is the breakfast is nothing just sweet bread, yogurt, milk, coffee, chocolate or tea. No fruits, no cheese, no ham, no eggs.. nothing salty. This bed and breakfast has 30 stairss before arriving the first floor were the reception and two rooms are.. so it is not good for mature people. Location is good but I like better close to San Marcos.

Good and friendly hotel. The staff are friendly. Breakfast is good. I recommend to others. Stairs is quite a lot, but you have to just keep climbing.

Rooms were small but very clean. When in Venice who cares about the size of the room as long as you have a bed and a shower!! Girls at the desk were very friendly and helpful, great location, easy to find, would definitly stay again!

The location was great

For Venice, the rooms were quite spacious and comfortable, particularly considering the modest price. There's no lift and our rooms were on the second floor, so one has to be reasonably fit. Reception personnel were very nice, friendly, and spoke excellent English. We enjoyed our stay very much and the locations is ideal—one block to the Rialto Bridge and a short walk to St. Mark's Piazza.

Formidable petit hôtel car idéalement situé, en plein coeur de la ville mais dans une ruelle très calme ce qui permet de passer des nuits bien reposantes ! Seulement 5 chambres dans l'hôtel donc très calme grâce à cela aussi. Accueil ultra sympathique. Petit bémol pour le petit déj copieux mais peu savoureux. Chambre et sdb ultra propres et rénovées.

Breakfast was a little bit disappointing. It would have been nice to have a bit better coffee and bread. I worried about noise from the streets because the hotel is located in a busy area, but, it was very quiet, which, I think, is because the hotel is just one block behind that busy area. However, at night, there was unidentifiable noise about every 40 minutes, similar to air-conditioning or heating system noise, none of which was actually on, when we were staying. Other than these minor things, spacious rooms are just like the photos on the web, everything was clean, all the employee were very nice to accommodate our needs, and the location was fantastic.I would recommend this hotel to other travelers, particularly who do not have good sense of direction and worry about coming back to the hotel late at night as it is located in busy area and so easy to find.

We liked our stay Ca'Leon D'Oro.

This hotel has a perfect location, just a minute from the Rialto Bridge. The staff, Julia especially, was very nice and helpful. Our room was quite large and as there was a heat wave, we wecomed the air conditioning. There is no elevator and only a narrow staicase which would have to be a consideration for some people. The breakfasts were of a more continental variety, but quite good. We were there for four days and loved every minute.

Our stay at Ca' Leon D'Oro was great! The owners were really nice and helpful. Breakfast was ok. We didnt find it hard to look for the hotel. It is very close to the Rialto Bridge. I can say it is an excellent location.. lots of restaurants and stores around the area. Overall, the hotel is highly recommended.. will definetely go back there in the future.

superbe séjour de 4 jours. Hotel situé aux pieds du pont Rialto, à 3 min de la place st marc. Elisa et Eleonora sont très accueillantes, souriantes, disponibles et de très bons conseils. Ambiance très familiale.Nous recommandons vivement cet hotel.

The Ca' Leon D'Oro is well located, about 50 yards from the Rialto Bridge. Restaurants, shops and the farmer's market are nearby. The hotel only has five rooms. There is no elevator. Venice is very expensive, so it was a relatively good value.

Elisa and Eleonora were two of the most helpful and friendly people I have ever encountered at a hotel reception. They went way out of their way to make sure every need I had was met, and even needs I didn't know I had. They made concert reservations, figured out a very complicated transportation question, and even left the breakfast room open overnight with a breakfast packed for us since we were leaving at 3am! The location was great. Being so close to the Rialto bridge, it is easy to wander and not even need a map to get home because of signs for the Rialto. Very spacious rooms. I would highly recommend this place and will come back again.

My husband and I have been to Venice many times and this was a great hotel for location, easy arrival with bags, and nice service. For the price, you should know you do not get a huge room and that's not what we were after. We wanted to be able to get the St Marks Square and Campo Santa Margarita for Franco's pizza and pasta. I would definitely stay here again as the reception personnel were nice as well.

eviter la chambre N3 car il y fait plus de 25°C en debut avril

Superbe expérience d'un séjour super agréable pour le voyage des 60 ans de mon épouse avec une petite attention toute particulière pour elle de la part des deux charmantes jeunes gestionnaires de cet hôtel qui parlaient un français ( et anglais )très utile pour nous. Pour notre premier séjour de 3 nuits, nous nous sommes retrouvés en plein centre de Venise, situation géographique stratégique au pied du pont du Rialto et à un petit 10min à pied de la splendide Piazza San Marco. Petit hôtel très symphatique avec un rapport Qualité/Prix imbattable vu sa situation. Hautement et chaudement recommandé. Nous savons déjà où aller pour notre prochain séjour.

i was very happy with services of this hotel.

beware of stairs - some could find it to difficult to use

The directions to get to the hotel were absolutely perfect! We had such an enjoyable stay and we were extremely impressed with the services that the young ladies provided at the front desk. I would only suggest that you might have some fruit in the morning for gluten free needs. The young ladies were very helpful in telling us where to go for dinner, giving out excellent directions. Great place and terrific value! Rosemary & Mike Chupik Welland Ontario Canada!

Great location, service and assistance from staff - definitely a go back to place.

Everything was perfect! Rooms are beautiful, spacious, clean and well situated. Receptionists are very nice. Our stay was perfect and thanks a lot to Ca' Leon D'Oro !

This hotel has a wonderful location in the middle of Venice. We came into Venice by train, and took a water taxi to the Rialto Bridge. The hotel is only about 1.5 blocks away from the bridge, and roughly 10 minutes away from Piazza San Marco. But since the hotel is on a smaller street, it's actually very quiet and peaceful inside. Our room was very large, with two beds, a wardrobe, a desk, TV and one of the larger bathrooms we had in Italy. The only downside was that the room was dark, but it's hard to find bright rooms in Venice where the streets are narrow and other buildings block the sun. The hotel managers (Elisa and Eleonora, I think) spoke excellent English and were very kind and helpful. This is definitely our first choice hotel when we return to Venice!

Hotel Ca Leon D'Oro very conveniently located next to The Rialto and with walking distance (5 mins) to San Marco. Also, next many souvenirs and gifts shops.

Good hotel, good location. Nice breakfast comparing to the other b&b's and hotels in Italy. Very helpful staff. Phone in the room. Satellite TV with international channels. Maps provided. Just a warning for somebody who can't carry they luggage up steep stairs: no elevator (lift) and nobody to help you. Our room was on the third floor, so, dragging our suitcases up and down was not fun. Other than that - no complains.

Excellent , clean and very central. Staff friendly and most helpfull, went out of their way to check train timetables etc and gave great tips on visiting the locality. would definately recommend this hotel

Very nice hotel indeed. Elisa and Eleonora (the owners) were very kind and helpful and responded very quick to my Emails sent in advance. The room no. 5 is on the top floor and very neat. And I've never been on such a romantic balcony in Venice before!

Excellent deal

Pequeno hotel, com poucos quartos, mas muito bem localizado e com otima recepção. Fomos muito bem recebidos e atendidos e todas as nossas necessidades. O Cafe da manha poderia ser um pouco mais sortido, mas estava bastante razoavel.

PLUS: The hotel is perfect for a short stay, rooms are spacious, people are very kind and the location is in the very center of the city. MINUS: Breakfast, quitness during the night, no elevator
