I loved my stay here! The room was outstandingly clean and the location is superb since I was with my 2 elderly parents. This was definitely the cheapest hotel I could find near St Mark's square which was not a backpacker's place. The landlady was lovely and very accommodating. Location was easy to find thanks to other reviews. Just get off at Rialto Bridge, don't cross over and simply walk to the right, with your back facing the bridge. Turn left at Calle Cavalli and walk straight till you reach Campo Manin. Take the pathway on th other side of the square, just before the bridge. There is a sign pointing towards the hotel. Just follow all the way through. Would highly reccommend this gem of a place!

Good place to stay, staff had limited English but was helpful. Very difficult to find but then everything in Venice is. Take the Rialto stop, as you get off turn to your right and continue to the "Carbon" "street sign and turn left, Continue to first major opening to the Square, then follow signs.

Very close to the Centre of Venice and St Marks Square. Very quiet. We used Sat Nav walking to help us find it - without this may have been difficult. Our room for a couple and a child was divided into 2, by a sliding door, which was very nice. But hotel is unable to provide breakfast.

Fantastic! We are a family of 4 and after reading another review we requested room 5. Great advice. It was a good sized room with a gorgeous mis-match of colours and patterns that made you feel like you were staying with your nanna. Mario and his mother (I think) spoke very little english and we spoke very little Italian, but somehow we managed to work out what needed to be worked out and have a bit of a laugh doing it - they made us feel very welcome. The location was unbeatable, just a few minutes walk from San Marco square, and the price was great - we would have paid about the same to stay at the youth hostel but then would have had to fork out E26 every time we wanted to come into the centre of venice. With good airconditioning our room was a welcome retreat in the stiffling heat of Venice in July. But the best thing about this hotel (and room 5 in particular) was the serenading from the gondoliers that went past our windows at regular intervals during the day and evening (but not, thankfully, through the night). What a treat to hang out of the window and watch the the gondoliers go by, our kids got quite a kick out of shouting 'Bravo' and getting a friendly wave from the gonolieri. A wonderful memory of Venice.

This was supposed to be a bed and breakfast, but there was no breakfast to be served. The place was very hard to find (not the hotel's fault, the address was correct). The room was nice and clean, but nothing exceptional.

The woman in charge is very very unkind!! She has 2 prices scales!! one less expensive if you ask for the room directly with her by e-mail, wich makes Venere more expensive!! I found this very unfair!!! I told them that I was arriving eary in the morning with my mother age 84, and instead of advising me to get off of the vaporeto in Rialto and wait in nearby cafe, they sent us to San Marco and we had to walk a lot (4 times more!!) climbing brigets and stairs to got the allogio!!!!!!!!!!! they call the place a bed and breakfast but no breakfast at all, not even hot water foe a tea! well position; bad, very bad management.Best of all, Mario, the asistant of such an horrible woman!!

Hard to find at first. Nice people who run the inn. Limited on offering more than just a room to stay in but clean. Little english is spoken. Price is nice - no views in rooms. Good for one or two people - not for a family. Some rooms do not have AC.

The room was large, clean and well located. We followed the directions provided and had no trouble finding the hotel. The owners are very nice and although we spoke very little Italian and they spoke very little English we were able to communicated fine. It would be nice if they had soap and shampoo in the bathrooms though.

Directions were not easy to determine. In hindsight we should have disembarked from the water taxi at Rialto Bridge rather than Piazzo san Marco. Locals could not help with directions, but we eventually discovered it down a seemingly impossibly narrow alley next to a famous landmark called Scala Contarni del Bovolo, which locals did know about. The charming landlady informed us that breakfast was impossible to arrange, contrary to the information provided. However, there were ample local establishments which could oblige.

This was a wonderul property to stay at where we were greeted the friendly proprietor who was like our grandma! The location was great by the Campo de Manin - good reference point when you're wandering the streets of Venice (as well as the Escala)! It is initially hard to find your way around Venice, so we were glad we paid the 25 euro to have our bags carted and our way found to the hotel. The room was nice and clean with a view out the window of the waterway! You will need to shut the window to get some sleep though but great ambiance! The bathroom was clean, but the shower itself was quite tiny. Overall, we loved our stay! Leon Bianco was a very nice restaurant that we would recommend.

First, it's really hard to find: I used directions I found in reviews of the hotel, and God bless those reviewers! My room was narrow as a corridor, but not oppressive because so much care had been devoted to making it nice (pretty colors and designs, good light). I realized at 4AM, hearing coughing in the next room, that it was once a big room that had been divided up. However I caught a glimpse of a double room and they were a much nicer size. The managers were unusually welcoming and helpful (I asked for an extra blanket and he brought me two; I arrived at 1 AM and she had waited up, smiling and very welcoming). No hot water in the morning! there was in the evening, but you had to let it run a while first. Bathroom brilliantly, sparkling clean. I wouldn't go again because the room's so small, but if I wanted a double room I might. The location is just fantastic, the managers really nice. In summer it would be important to make sure there's air conditioning. In November it didn't matter, however the heat worked and the room was nice and warm.

Enjoyed our stay is June 2010. A little difficult to find. Sit down with your maps when you first arrive at the Rialto bridge. Its not that far away from there. We would certainly stay there again. The owners are very Italian and very helpful.

We are a family of 4 and had room #5. This was one of the largest rooms we had as we toured Italy. The location was great. The A/C worked very well. Our room faced a canal that was frequented by gondolas with singers in them. We had such a great time hanging out our window waving as the gondolas went by. We were not expecting much from this facility but really enjoyed it. The price was very good as well. They did not serve breakfast but it did not matter much to us.

When I first saw the hotel,it was a bit old building but once i got in it was very classic, cozy and clean.It was such a nice classical hotel. staff is friendly and welcoming. I love the room provided which is clean, quite and convenient. It was a bit difficult to find the hotel at first, it was short walk to all amenities, though. Although, the hotel doesn't provide breakfast,the price was reasonable comparing with other things surrounded.

This hotel was in a perfect location, quiet and within easy walking distance from all of the sights we wanted to visit. The hotel staff were helpful and gracious. The room was kept clean and the air conditioning worked well. It was spacious enough for us to sleep and have access to our luggage and clothes. As there is no concierge, make sure that you call ahead to let them know of your time of arrival. There isn't an elevator, but it is only one flight of stairs up.

I stayed in a single room.The room , bed, toilets were clean. The host was very nice and courteous. Air conditioning was not very effective. very good location ( San Marco square). If you are looking around this price , this hotel offers you best choice. It was very difficult to locate the hotel for the first time, though address & location are given by a map. I think the easiest way from Lucia station (ferroviara)is to take No1 or No2 water bus to Rialto ( after Rialto Mercarto). Walk away in the opposte lane , with Rialto at your back towards San Marco Square for 100 Mts. Take right 30 mts to get a square ( Burger king) . Proceed further 30 mts to get another square with a statue. Take the passage near the left hand of the statue for 10 mts, then 5 mts to left , then 10 mts to the right. Even with a map it will be difficult to find. The hotel is next to an important building " Scala Contirini Del Bevelo. Any tour guide will be able to show direction.

We stayed in a double room with batchroom included. We really liked the old style, kind of reminded me of my grandparents place. The room was very large, I think we were given a 3 person room as there was an extra bed plus a sofa. It was very nice and quiet and the owner was very sweet. We were hoping for a view of the little tower but realized that that could have meant more noise as there were quite a few groups of tourists that came by to see it. The directions they have posted on their own website were very handy as there are no signs until you get to Campo Manin (square with lion sculpture) overall we had a great stay in Venice, it was well woth staying the night and enjoying the late night atmosphere especially at s. Marco square. There was no breakfast available but it is very easy to find food in Venice.

The location of this hotel is excellent, although it was extremely dificult to find at first. Rooms are too small for the all the old fasioned furniture cramped into it.

The place is very well located but there were some difficulties: - no possibility of breakfast - some strange (but not really unpleasant) smell in the room - real troubles will shower - no really hot water and water pressure was very poor The place is more bad a breakfast type but the owner is a very nice lady, unfortunately, with not too good English. Rooms are done in vintage style that`s rather nice

The hotel can be a little challenging to find but just ask and follow signs to the Scala Contarini del Bovolo - a Venice landmark. Room was good sized and windows looked onto canals - charming...except for the mosquitos. Advertised air conditioning wasn't available nor was breakfast. The proprietress was lovely.

This hotel was everything we expected (it really helped to read previous comments on the site - get your bearings online first before going). The lady that greeted us was very nice and led us to our rooms. Everything was tidy and clean. We were right in the heart of Venice and we loved it. I would absolutely recommend this place and would stay there again. The only downside was there was no air conditioning (and bring your own soap) we were there Sept 3 - 5th it was quite humid. We had no trouble with noise at night (I think we were in the back near the courtyard. Our travel companions were in the front next to the Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo (tourist attraction) but they only mentioned hearing a few people passing at night. The best directions are take the No. 5 city bus from the airport, if you plan to stay 24 - 72 hours get the vaporetto pass for the time period you will use it (the pass also includes the cost of the No. 5 city bus - purchase it at the Kiosk in airport). ages up to 29 yrs can purchase this pass for 1/2 price but it's also only $33 Euro full price for 72 hours and we used it several times a day definitely getting our moneys worth at $6.50 Euro per trip single fare. Taking the bus from the airport was easy. Once you get off the bus at Palazza Roma (sorry if I'm not spelling everything 100%) take the Vaporetto going to Rialto Bridge you can tell on the signs It's closest to the Ticket centre at Piazzale Roma once you get off the bus. Some Vaporettos are express and will miss certain stops so be sure to read. Once you get off the Vaporetto at the Rialto bridge walk in the same direction as the Vaporetto travels do not cross the Rialto Bridge (the water should be on your right and the bridge will be behind you). Turn left at Calle Cavalli and follow into a large square/courtyard with a statue (area known as Campo Manin). Once in the square go to the right towards the statue and you will see a yellow arrow to the Palazzo Contarini del Bovol

I am a single traveler exploring Venice. I found that Town House Suite Alloggi alla Scala is very good located - in the heart of Venice very close main attractions - 10-15 min on foot to San Marco, Realto bridge and Academia Bridge. Everything is within walk distance. Owner was very welcoming. No good English, but it didn`t seem to be a problem. My room was small but very clean. I saw other rooms - they are bigger. AC is working good. One little problem - there is no lift, so you need to carry luggage to the second floor. So probably no good for people with disabilities or who can not carry heavy things. Price was very good for this location. I would recommend this hotel and happili stop there again!

We arrived in Venice at night by boat from the airport, provided with a little map that we got from mapquest. Nobody knew the hotel and therefore, the indications we received didn't work very well. After sometime looking for the property, I decided to call the madam in the hotel and she gave us exactly the location. I was surprised with her attention since it was late night (even though I have informed what time we were estimating to arrive). The lady was very gentle and the room was perfect: clean, big and the property was very well located (between San Marco and Rialto). I definitely recommend this property to other people.

I had a great stay. The location is out of the way. The room was small but well suited to the low price, given being there in high season. The alloggi is next door to the Scala Contarini del Bovolo, a Venice landmark, and the only downside was the frequent visits outside my window by tourists. The upside of that was that I became quite familiar with the history of the Scala!

Great location but the rooms are terribly small. I think this place is okay to stay in for 1 night, but by the second night, the small size was a bit annoying. Also, squeezing two people onto the small double bed was a challenge. Overall, I am satisfied with our stay as it was only a couple of nights, but there are lots of other hotels in Venice so I would recommend that you check around a bit more.

This was a great hotel. I stayed in the Quadruple with my family. It was very affordable and great location. Very clean and quiet and working AC was key. Was able to fit all 4 suitcases with room to walk around the room. The closest Vaparetto stop is called Rialto (linea 1)...there is another stop called rialto mercato. We took the mercato stop by mistake when taking the vapertto and got lost. This is only a big deal when carrying your luggage around venice since its all narrow streets and small bridges. Just expect to get lost and you will be okay :)

We had the quad room, it was clean and the cheapest in Venice by far. 130 Euros per night with a 6% discount for cash. The bathroom had a shower and was a room inside the bedroom so there was complete privacy. The landlady was friendly and she spoke English well enough to communicate what we needed. Use a good map and look for the Contarini del bavolo, it's in the same courtyard. There is no air conditioning and we made the mistake of opening the windows and ended up with mosquito bites.

A quaint hotel, basic but clean and comfortable. No TV, no breakfast, but I didn't find this a problem as Venice is full of restaurants. Finding the hotel is easy - walk along the Grand Canal side from the vaporetto stop at Rialto Bridge, (don't cross the bridge) in same direction as the vaporetto, turn left at Cavalli into Campo Manin and look for the signs to Bovolo on the far side of Campo Manin.

The location is excellent and quite easy to find if you have a good map, the room was very comfortable, the bathroom was tiny, if you are a tall person you would have trouble, the nicest thing about the room that we had was that the window overlooked a canal so there were boats and gondalas passing all the time which was really nice. It would be nice to have tea making facilities in the room.

I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel. They had recently split from the unit in the picture with the spirial staircase, and put a private bathroom with shower in the single room. It was very quiet. Venice is always difficult to find anything as no street goes more than a short block or two. I'd suggest buying a map as soon as you get to Venice (2.5 euros) from one of the street vendor carts, that lists every street, which will make finding the hotel much easier. Once I checked in, I never saw anyone again, but I was rarely in the room until early evening. My room was always clean. Only problem, no hot water in the bathroom. It wasn't an issue for me, but I assume they are working on the problem. Wandering around Venice is wonderful. I enjoyed the quietness of the city, esp after going on to Florence & Rome.

The owner was a sweet lady but does not speak English. They keep the rooms very clean. Our room was facing the courtyard and we had to deal with tourists outside for most of the day. The spiral tower is not the hotel but next to it and no one can access it. That does not stop leagues of tourists to stop by to photograph it (overrated) but they stop coming by around 9:30 PM or so. My wife loved it which counts. It was very convenient for our three night stay. If you are looking for it first try to find Campo Manin then see the little yellow signs for the tower. P.S. 3 days in Venice is enough time to do everything you want.

Good directions were provided - just don't cross the bridge after getting off the vaporetto. The staff don't speak English, but were very helpful. The room was smaller than we'd expected and was not actually in the "palace" as we'd been led to believe. Overall though, the lodgings were clean and convenient.

The bed was very comfortable---the gondolas passing by the window...including the serenading..could not have been a better gift for a visit to Venice! The location was very nice..and I enjoyed the privacy I was given. I really didn't see any public areas, but that was just fine with me! I could come and go as I wished. AND I was in Room 6, with no stairs to maneuver. It could not have been better;l it was WONDERFUL! I so enjoy the movies I took with my camera, from my window, of the passing gondoliers...

A place we could recomend to everyone!Lovely owner, beatiful sorrounding, quiet, clean, nice price. Not so hard to find. "From the bus terminal P.le Roma, catch the waterbus (pretty expensive) line 2 to Rialto bridge stop and walk to the hotel for 10 minuts, direction "Campo Manin". Then follow signs to "Bovolo Palace". Note, very narrow allys. The high tower on photo is Bovolo Palace, next door to the hotel, which is markt on map. If you don´t carry a lot of luggage you can walk from P. le Roma to Rialto. Venice is small. F.Y.I. the owner only speak italian and there is no breakfast served at hotel. You can buy tasty bread, yougurt, ham etc. in nearby "minimarkets". If you need cheap, fast food, you find a Big Burger (aug 2008) at Campo Manin. A good map is very useful in Venice since a street suddenly ends in a canal.

EXTREMELY hard to find this place. It took me a good bloody 4 hours of walking thru Venice. I'm not exaggerating either. Ignore that address of "Corte Contarini", its not near that at all. Get a phone number of this place as well. Need better directions. Seriously, it was ridiculous. Aside that, I was pretty happy for the price I paid. It was a nice place to stay, Venice is beautiful. I will come back now that I know exactly where it is.

What a lovely place. the best clue to how to find it was given by a consumer on venere (close to escala) because everyone knows how to find the sites. centrally located, on quiet street, sweet decorations, private space for our 12 year old daughter.

Fantastic location - quicker to get to it from Rialto than San Marco - there should be better location information on the website (perhaps a link to google maps) so you can find your way there a bit easier. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Could hear the people in the next room talking but really for Venice it was very good price for the location.

Triple room was quite spacious, great location near Rialto bridge. Unfortunately no hot water for shower both days we were there, not sure why.

Excellent value for a property so close to San Marco and very quiet. The owner was very friendly and welcoming and the room was spotless. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable but watching the gondolas go past our window was an unforgettable experience.

Our stay was wonderful. The woman who runs the place was lovely and very attentive to our 2 yr old. We got a little lost finding the hotel based on the directions given but as long as you ask, you'll find the place. Lovely, clean - no breakfast but there are lots of places nearby. Highly recommend.

Location was excellent - walking distance to San Marcos Square and Rialto Bridge. Owner was very nice and helpful. There were four in our group, and the room was more ideal for two or three persons. Room was clean and nicely decorated. We would highly recommend this room.

Single room was a bathroom with a teenage (eg shorter than standard length) bed crammed in. Photos on website misleading. Avoid booking this room! However, other rooms perfectly good for price charged. Also, website gave impression price includes breakfast - it doesn't.

The owner is a really friendly and welcoming person. She was very nice. It is an ancient family house, and it is a simple, nice bed and breakfast (but without breakfast). I stayed for just one night at an excellent price for Venice. Other guests arrived during the night and so I could not sleep because of them (there's no actual isolation between rooms so you can hear everything!)

It's a great value in Venice. Rooms are clean, bathroom not bad for a budget hotel, and it's located in a quiet courtyard. Location is fine.

We stayed in the "triple room" shown on the Venere website. The location of this hotel was quite good as it was back in a quiet section, off the beaten path, yet basically right in the middle of Venice. However, though it was quiet most of the night, it does get a fair amount of tourists looking at the Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo, which is located right next to the hotel. It is very quiet when no one is there, but when tourists arrive, it can suddenly get quite noisy. Fortunately, it didn't seem to get that many, but they can arrive at any hour (we had some noisy people arrive at around 2:00 in the morning). Ear plugs are a good solution. It is a fair hike from the train station, so some may want to take the water transportation (it took us over an hour walking, mostly due to crowds/narrow streets). Also, it is rather difficult to find, so make sure you get one of the good maps at the train station when you arrive. Walking through Venice is like walking through a labyrinth, and it is hard to get your bearings. The room was comfortable and spacious, and the bed had good pillows and good mattresses. There was no television, if that is important. Bear in mind, that most programs are in Italian, so I found most TVs to be of little use anyway since I don't speak very good Italian. I don't recall there being any soap, so make sure you pack your own. I liked the surroundings because we were close to Piazza San Marco and other services, such as food. Overall, it was a decent bargain for the price, considering it was in Venice (Venice is very expensive).

My opinion is extremely negative, I am sorry not to have taken any picture to give an more precise idea of the situation I have found, believe absolutely unworthy. In detail: Bathroom if it can be called a water at the foot of the bed separated by a plastic wall and without fan ventilation. The shower is a flat, always in the same room near the bed, surrounded by a plastic tent. In concrete doing a shower means completely flood the room. Bed was a camp-bed whose length was more suitable for a child not for an adult person. No place to put clothes In conclusion it has been a theft!

I'm afraid of writing a real review of this place because I may only ruin it for myself the next time I try to book here. Andrienne, the owner is a lovely woman and her accomodations were absolutely quaint and comfy. I'm only writing this because she was so nice to us and deserves all the business she can get. Otherwise, I admit, I'd keep this little gem of a place to myself

We stayed for 3 nights in Venice. The hotel was a little difficult to find. It is situated right next to a major tourist sight... building with the spiral staicase( not sure what the name is). Eventhough the tourist sight is under renovation now, there are still many visitors, so it can get very noisy at all times of the day. The room is rather dusty as it has lots of fabric ornamentation that is probably hardly cleaned.

This is a great hotel for this price. It is located between Rialto Bridge and San Marco square which is great for tourists. Room was great, as seen on the picture. The only problem we had is a laundry smell when entering the hotel, but it's just for the couple seconds untill you reach the room. I would highly recommend this place.

This is a great little place providing basic, clean, comfortable accommodation in a quiet central location at reasonable cost. It offers simple accommodation and does NOT offer luxuries or extras so if that's what you're lookng for, stay somewhere else. However, having stayed in several places in Venice in recent years (towards the budget end of the market) I will definitely return here. It is five minutes walk from both the Rialto and St Mark's Square yet, being at the end of a dead-end alley-way, is completely quiet. It doesn't offer breakfast but there are plenty of cafes within easy walking distance where you can have a better breakfast than the standard Venetian B&B offering. It has some three/four bed rooms so is good for groups on a budget.

No es "de lujo" como dice en la web. Las fotos publicadas son de una habitación muchisiiiimo mas linda que la nuestra. Limpieza? Habia ropa interior de algun huesped anterior a nosotros debajo de la cama, mucho polvo en el suelo. Muy viejo. Lo bueno...da al canal y te cantan gratis los gondoleros y la ubicación. es muy dificil de llegar, mirar bien el mapa antes.

The price is very good for an expensive city like Venice, I got a clean and silent quadruple room. Very clean towels too. You can go to San Marco in only 4 minutes walking. If you pay with cash you can get a little discount from the price of reservation (6%). The madame was very kind with us. I absolutely recommend this place. Remember to take with you shampoo and soap and hair dryer.

This B&B is a bit tricky to find but so is everything else in Venice! The location is excellent! Not far from Piazza San Marco and the Rialto water bus stop it is very handy for getting around. The rooms were part of an old church or house, were very basic but suited our needs. Great budget accommodation in an otherwise very expensive area. The host was lovely as well.

Eine gute Alternative, um im Zentrum von Venedig halbwegs preiswert zu Übernachten. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber, gepflegt und bieten auch ausreichend Platz. Das Cityquartier befindet sich etwas versteckt aber dennoch sehr zentral ca. 600-800 Meter vom Markusplatz. Wir waren für zweit Tage dort und würden diese Unterkunft wieder auswählen.

If all you want from a Hotel is a bed to sleep in then this Hotel is the place for you. For the price in Venice the room is staggering. Very clean on suite with shower, air conditioning and an extremely comfy bed for what must be the cheapest price in the city. For me it was perfect as that's all I want from a hotel. Don't expect any extras for that price (take your own soap) but I can't recommend this hotel highly enough for what it is.

Once you get over with the fact that the place looks very different from the pictures shown in web, it's ok. But not really a nice place to stay and enjoy a holiday, it's a room with a bed, nothing else.
