Locanda Herion - Venice

Hotel is overrated. It is far from three stars.Services are rendered at a minimum. Heating was only available for a few hours, although outside temperature was in the twenties. We were lucky to arrive two hours ahead, at noon, as later no one was in the reception and nobody answered the emergency phones left.

I enjoyed my stay. It was cozy, nice and resonable price. It's near from the station and walkable distance.

A perfect stay for those who like small hotels with good service as well as a lot of hospitality!

Difficult to find.No name board. The worst is to get there with luggage. We are an older couple; so to have to carry suitcases to the vaporetto stops is not very pleasant, especially the one where you take the vaporetto to the airport Marco Polo, because of the bridge stairs to get at this connection.

Great stay! Very comfortable. Excellent location.

NICE LITTLE HOTEL WELL SITUATED NEAR ST LUCIA RAILWAY STATION WITH ONLY ONE BRIDGE TO CLIMB AND NOT VERY COMPLICATED!

Locanda Herion is in the perfect location if travelling into Venice by train, 10 mins walk from station with one bridge to cross with easy stairs. Hotel itself has quite steep staircase so travel light. The room was spacious and clean however there was a substantial amount of mildew in the bathroom which could become hazardous if staying long. Would recommend that they improve breakfast service - at least get decent coffee, the coffee machine did not work well and the quality of the coffee was really poor. Enrico was very friendly and most welcoming. Would recommend it!

Convenient to the train station - a leisure 10 minute walk. a bit hard to find, but due to fact the city will not allow a larger sign. Nice walk to St. Mark's Square (15 minutes), or convenient to the water taxi. Had to leave early in the morning and the staff set us up with a light continental breakfast.

This hotel is too expensive for what it offers. The rooms and bathroom were not very clean. We had ants in our room and they got into our suitcases. The air conditioning did not work properly so we had some very hot august nights. The window in the bathroom was broken and could not be opened. We asked the front desk person to send someone to fix it but never happened. The breakfast was mediocre, nothing special. The building was in need of some TLC and paint. The worst thing was the pillows: they smelled REALLY bad. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone. On top of that, the price is high compared to other 3 star hotels Staff is ok, but nothing to right home about.

NOT EASY TO FIND DUE TO LACK OF SIGN AT THE HOTEL. WE HAPPENED TO SPOT THE SIGN ON THE PATH LEADING FROM MAIN ROUTE. VERY QUIET. AIR CON A LITTLE TEMPERAMENTAL AND NOT VERY EFFICIENT. OVERALL GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY THOUGH.

Hotel was nice, hidden in a very hard to find nook. The only way we were able to find it (after passing by it about 5 times) was by a tiny sign that was probably about 12"x6" on the street that the hotel is on. So that is something to be weary of. Other than that, the interior is decent, nothing to write home about but not dreadful. The room was also nice, some paint peeling in the corner but other than that not a bad room. The restroom was surprisingly nice, nicer than everything else in the hotel I'd say. For the price, I'd probably look for cheaper places but wouldn't completely hate having to pay for the place again.

Excellent hotel,good quality and excellent service

Nice quiet(recently renovated?)hotel with clean room. In the beginning it was hard to find since it doesn't have a sign, but once there everything was perfect. Good breakfast.

Only a few minutes from train station. Wifi available in reception area. Kind of pricey for the value but I'm not sure it that's because it was on the island.

The receptionist was friendly and helpful, location excellent, 15-minute walk from Piazzale Roma. In a quiet alley off the main street in Cannaregio. Given accommodation prices in Venice, price-quality ratio was very good. Basic room but clean and air conditioned. Bathroom very spacious and luminous (missed a curtain for the shower). Basic breakfast in a nice outdoor patio.

The room was lovely, however the hotel has a problem with mold in the bathroom. When we mentioned it to them, the next day they tried to clean it, as they said they do every week. Our toilet seat was slightly broken when we arrived, as well as a window in the bathroom, and both were fixed the next morning. in addition, there is no elevator, and we received no help with our luggage. If you don't mind the sight of a little mold in the bathroom, and if you can easily carry your luggage, I would highly recommend this hotel.

Every thing went well. Bottom floor as requested, given. Breakfast ample.

We found the Herion excellent for our short stay, it was easy to find from P. Roma where the airport bus arrives and I would be very happy to return to this Locanda. Our only critcism would be there is a lack of shelf or other surfaces for your stuff in the bathroom. The breakfast and coffee were good for the price paid.

The first room we were given was only partially clean - there was a used bar of soap sitting on the counter and missing towels, fortunately for us the air conditioning was not working either so we were given another room that was much better in quality although the shower chair was pulled partially away from the shower wall and tiles were broken, exposing the wall to the water. Breakfast was good, many choices of good quality but there was a marked difference in the dining room staff toward the crowds of the weekend (very grouchy, unhelpful - dirty silverware, no plates) and the quieter small group of the week day (table settings present, offers to make coffees, etc.) Front desk staff at times were also very short and surly with people when they needed help. Location was great in terms of access to bus and quiet neighborhood - not many restaurants in close proximity though.

ROOMS WERE SMALL AND WE HAD SUPERIOR ROOM BREAKFAST WAS A DISATER COFFEE MACHINE WAS BROKE I GOT A HALF CUP OF STRONG COFFEE ASKED FOR HOT MILK NON AVAILABLE WENT OUT AND BOUGHT A CUP OF COFFEE BROUGHT IT BACK AND WAS HANDED A CROSSANT EXCELLENT LOCATION AND WOULD RECOMMEND IT FOR THAT

Very nice small hotel. Nice location near the train station. Very friendly and helpfull reception ladies. The room was perfect. Would certainly recommend it to friends!!!! Maria, Ekaterinburg (Russia)

A very efficiently run family business. We had a quite spacious room and the facilities were good. There is a lovely courtyard with a balcony overlooking it. A very pleasant place to relax after wandering (or getting lost) in the streets of Venice. Great breakfast - the first place so far to warm our croissants and bread for us!

Fine room and hotel for the money. One caveat - this hotel does not have a hotel sign and is hard to locate, even with the map. Look for a small Locanda Herion sign on a building about 4 blocks past the Canal Canaregio - turn right down the little street, and the hotel entrance-1697/A-is in a small alcove on your left.

LITTLE BUT NICE HOTEL. GOOD AND QUITE POSITION NOT INDICATE FOR DISABLED PERSON DUE TO THE HIGH STAIRS TO HOTEL ROOMS, ELEVATOR NOT AVAILABLE

It was very easy to find the hotel. The people was very gentle and help us with everything. The breakfast was great. It is very well located.

Good location (near to bus and train station) and friendly staff. But any sound in the hotel is inside your room. Breakfast was very poor. More apparopriate for students and single travellers.

The hotel is in a side street of the main street. There is a sign on the main street, but no sign on the hotel himself. Therefore it is difficult to find.

We had a really good time. The staff got out of their way to be helpful. It is well situated close to one of the main streets in Venice and the vaporetto.

It was a very good hotel, friendly staff, good breakfast (I only missed fresh bread, instead of biscuits), fridge and hair dryer in the room, clean bathroom, nice surroundings. So I would recommend it to everybody (or at least to those who does not care to climb up one or two floors if needed).

Our stay was very nice and the staff was helpful, informative and friendly. We would stay there again. Location was a short walk from the bus station and easy to get to. Bathroom needed to be wiped down (mildew and mold on ceiling and tiles.) We would recommend staying here.

About 5 - 10 minutes walk from the train station. It was a little difficult to find. There rooms was a good size. I would come back to this hotel.

The Locanda Herion was a great experience - we were there for 3 days before a cruise and found it to be excellent - it is close to the train station and Piazzole Roma (which makes it a bit of a ways from Piazza San Marco - and all the crowds). We bought a 3 day Vaporetto pass - IMOB Venice and used it to go everywhere. The staff were very knowledgeable and very helpful. High marks for Herion! A much more interesting and bohemian neighbourhood than than San Marco.

Excellent choice under 100 Euros. Nice, clean and confortable.

Clean,welcoming and value for money, but a little bit difficult to find with less indications or clear signs.

Staff is very friendly, competent, and eager to help. Fantastic place for the price, except that the walls in the room needed some paint, but very clean. Make sure you use the map on their web site and NOT google maps or mapquest, etc. Google maps has the entire island of Venice all wrong.

I really enjoyed my trip to Venice. Locanda Herion is a good hotel (location is excellent so close to rail station and vaporetto stop). The only one thing I didn`t like it was a little bit of mould above the shower but the overall was very good. especially very friendly staff which was waiting for me as I was arriving very late at night and also I could left my luggage in the last day before departure. So good value for money and BIG THANKS to ALL Locanda Herion Staff.

The location was close to a lively merchant street with fresh vegetable and fruit stands as well as typical Venice souvenirs and restaurants, yet it was very quiet. The entrance to the Locanda was a bit disappointing, very plain but othervice nice and clean interior. We had a very big room (maybe because it was called double superior). Breakfast rather Italian style - fresh sweet croisants, but also some packed dark bread and cream cheese was available. The only drawback was a coffee machine with coffee quality which did not match my desire for real Italian coffee. Fiendly and polite service.

Very nice decorated, clean and quiet room. Breakfast could be better. The staff was very polite and helpful. Very nice location of the Locanda, not so hard to find it really.

Good value for money. Very friendly staff.

The brother and sister team who manage this small hotel are wonderful, competent hosts willing to provide any help/information possible to make your stay in Venice better.

One thing that was rather off putting was that the walls in the bedroom had mosquito's splattered on them. I did also suffer two bites whilst there. I realise, with so much water around they will get mosquitos but a bit of advise - wipe the walls down! We've been to Venice once before. There are so many places to stay in. For this reason I would try somewhere else next time.

Very nice resort, when visiting Venice again, we surely will return to Locanda Herion!

The hotel signage is poor, therefore very difficult to locate. In addition the google map to this location is incorrect, causing quite a bit of anguish in finding the hotel. Breakfast was good and the hotel has a nice patio location. Once you find the hotel the location is excellent for seeing Venice.

Two complaints, the location of the hotel is completely different from the google map. it took us more than 1 hour to get the hotel from the station as we went around the ghetto area. Actually the place is very near from the station and very convenient.The person in the hotel told the Google to correct it but it was not corrected. Please do not refer to the Google map. the other complaint is that there is no refergerator in the room.

I'm Italian and I went in this Hotel with my girlfriend for my 6 years anniversary. Very beautiful Hotel, Bed & Breakfast is probably more indicated for this accomodation. Great rooms and great people, only breakfast sweet and the coffee wasn't the top (american coffee instead classic italian coffee). In general the hotel is good and I probably will go again here in the future.

The hotel is in a great location not far from the train station and just behind a busy area, so it was quiet. Watch for the small sign on the side of a building that points to the hotel. The room was very large - much larger than we expected. The only problem we saw was a lot of mold/mildew in the shower and on the wall above. Otherwise, the room was very clean and nicely decorated. The check-in gentleman went above and beyond in helpfulness. He carried all of our bags up the stairs, provided us with extras, and went out of his way to offer breakfast at an earlier time as we had a very early train to catch. He gets 5 stars from us!

Owned by a brother and sister of which one was available at all times. They were extremely friendly and willing to help you find places around the area. Very clean and with real air conditioning and modern windows and facilities. We would highly recommend and would stay there again.

The frontdesk is very good. The room is nice and the location is nice as well.

It was very confortable for me to stay there.

Excellent price vs. quality. The accomodations were comfortable and clean. Location was excellent, close to train station and just off of main street. Employees were extremely helpful and very nice.

We stayed there 3 days, and the welcoming was very nice, and we feel us like at home.

The room was quiet but in one night there was a party on a balcon near our room.

We were treated great -- even let us borrow an umbrella. Great location, clean rooms. We'll stay there next time we're in Venice.

10 minutes from train station,great breakfast,very friendly family staff,good local directions,great bathroom and water pressure,look for sign in main walk way to hotel,definitely would stay here again,first time to Venice, did lots of walking. Hotel could have not been better,highly recommended

Not easy to find, but after asking by mail very good description. Mould on the walls in the bathroom, the rooms are very loud from inside the hotel. The surrounding of the hotel quiet. Breakfast is a joke. The location is very good, vaporetto, shops and sightseeing nearby.

Great little hotel, very cozy, very friendly young people (owner or employees), spacious room and bathroom, clean, quiet, very near to the attractions of the city, only 3 vaporetto stations from the tronchetto parking area. we will definitely come back!

This hotel was far enough from the train station and close enough to walk with my back pack full. The people who ran the hotel were wonderful careing and helpful. The rooms were clean and spacous. Perfect. I traveled with women three other women and we felt safe and cared for. The hotel is just off the main drag and close to the water bus and we could walk any where from there. Great hotel choice for any travelers we loved it.

This hotel is a little gem! it offers a wonderful location very near to the vaporetto, very nice room (we had garden view), and a good breakfast. there is an outdoor patio for breakfast which is quite lovely. the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. this hotel provides excellent value for the price.

This hotel is truly a find. This small hotel is on a side street in a very pleasant neighborhood. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful, and all spoke several languages. The location is between two vaparetto stops on different lines, and makes travel much easier.

Nice rooms, but if you have to leave the hotel early, there is no breakfeast available.

Great location even though the front door is on a side street and a bit difficult to find. Very clean, friendly staff.

Just one word: EXCELLENT

Great hotel in venice for the price. Really good hotel and realy good value in a lovely part of venice away from all the hustle and bustle but not very far away!

Our stay was excellent. We arrived at 730am and were warmly greeted by the staff. They checked our booking and looked after our bags until we checked in properly later that morning. We were given a free upgrade on our room and the staff provided us with an excellent map that had every street and canal marked. Our room was clean and warm and the bed very comfy.We stayed for 2 nights in mid January 2010 and would recommend Locanda Herion to anybody looking for accomidation in Venice. All the bad stories about accomidation in Venice do not apply to this place it is really good!!!

This was a welcoming, well-priced, clean hotel and well-situated hotel. Our room was big and well-heated. Breakfast was typical Italian style ie lots of unhealthy chocolately stuff, but we were pleased that there was also a museli and fruit puree (packaged) option. We would return to this hotel.

If you want only to sleep then this hotel is the right place and located not far awag from rail way station. The hotel is given as 3 Stars, but the room is very small, no minibar in the room (no refrigerator), one chair for two people, the TV is 14" and about 20 years old. The breakfast is very simple (croissant and coffee from machine). However, the price is low.

1) the map with indications to find the hotel was wrong. inquiry at the hotel desk showed the problem had already been solved. 2) we would liked fresh bread at the breakfast buffet: everything else was absolutely ok.

Very very expensive for young couple like us. But considering its location was in main island of Venice, we regarded the expenditures worthwhile. The best hotel we stayed during our 22 days trip in Europe. Next time I shall not squeeze with other travellers in September and get a good bargain to stay in this hotel again.

The room we selected had a downstairs bathroom so every time we used bathroom we had to walk down a flight of stairs. Not good for ages 80 and 82,but we were given a choice between 2nd floor with bathroom on same floor, and we selected this one. Otherwise no complaints and staff very friendly and helpful. Neighborhood interesting.

Everything was perfect, the staff go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Will definitely recommend this hotel for all. Perfect location ,quite , deserves more than a 3 star rating , Excellent. We enjoyed 2 lovely days in Venice The only hick up was that we had trouble finding the hotel as google maps gives an entirely different location. This feedback was given to the hotel & we weren't the 1st to encounter this problem. It's worth clarifying how to get there before you leave. The map was corrected.

Entirely satisfied with Hotel Locanda Herion. Friendly and efficiently family-run, quietly positioned in good area, near shops,restaurants and vaporetto stations San Marcuola and Guglie, not far from Piazza de Roma. Excellent value.

The hotel is very well situated. Our room was very quiet, in the back of the hotel, and very clean. The employees are competent and charmant. The breakfast is quite complete and sufficient for this kinf of hotel.

The Herion is a small friendly hotel/guest house. It is quiet and well located, close to shops, restaurants and bars. The public areas are small and the hotel does not have a bar or serve evening meals, which was not a problem for us. It is convenient for arrival by water, bus or train and the main tourist areas are easily reached on foot or by a short water bus ride. It is ideal for a quiet short break in Venice.

The Lacanda Herion was an easy walk from the train station, and was found without difficulty. We were pleased to find the room spacious, clean, and with a comfortable bed, making it more than adequate for our one night stay. Considering that this was Venice in October, the hotel's rate was extremely reasonable. Also, the hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Venice was cold and there was no hot water or room heat. No maintenance during week ends. Hotel was very close to water bus stand. Fron Desk was excellent. Superb cordiality.

We stayed in single room with queen bed and private bath. Was a little noisy for afternoon napping. Was much further from cruise dock than we anticipated. Small front lobby but staff very friendly and helpful. We were permitted to leave luggage at front desk while we toured. Breakfast adequate. Was too cool to eat in courtyard. We stayed here at the culmination of our cruise. It was very adequate but expensive due to devalued US dollar. We walked to St. Mark's Square--5 and 1/5 miles in one day. We would recommend this place to others.

We liked our staying in this hotel very much! It’s comfortable, clean and very cosy. Definitely we will come back here.

Excellent. We enjoyed 3 lovely days in Venice and were very pleased & relieved that the hotel met our expectations.This was my 4th visit to Venice but 1st time at Herion & our room was by far the biggest & cleanest I have encountered. The staff were very freiendly & helpful. The only hick up was that we had trouble finding the hotel as google maps gives an entirely different location. This feedback was given to the hotel & we weren't the 1st to encounter this problem. It's worth clarifying how to get there before you leave.

Choice of foods for breakfast was poor. As the room was closed to the Patio, we had noise the morning at breakfast time.

For Venice, quite a good deal. Convenient to the train station and bus terminal. Room a bit dark with only one small window, but for the price I can't complain. Did get a shock from a faulty fixture, but presumably that was a one time fluke.

Excellent value for the price. Clean, spacious rooms with spacious bathrooms, nice furniture, competent and friendly personnel. Neat breakfast served in the little cosy inner yard. Location is not too far from anywhere, and, at the same time, far enough from most crowded tourist places to be quiet.

Not told that the air-con was down, we were up the whole night with the fan on. There were several dead flies and mosquitoes lying in the bathtub. The good thing is we got changed to another room with COOL AC. Otherwise I would say OK.

Location of the hotel was very convenient - 10 minute walk to the railway station, very close to restaurants and shops. Hotel staff was helpful and friendly.

We very much enjoyed our stay and the area in which the hotel is located.

It is very spacious. we had nice stay in the hotel

Too many mosquitos in the room, but it is Venice and Mosquitos are everywhere. People at the reception were friendly and the hotel is perfect for a couple of days in the Lagoon...

I stayed 4 nights with my partner and it was exactly as I had expected. I paid 80 € per night and I sincerely think that the services provided by the hotel are really over of this price. I would like to point the great kindness and hospitality of the hotel staff. They are all young relatives of the owners of the hotel.

This is a fantastic small hotel. Well situated near the railway station, and within walking distance with suitcases. You have to be alert to spot the sign on the wall at the laneway that takes you to Locanda Herion which is just off the main thoroughfare. Its a good walk to Rialto and St Marks Square but pleasant and relatively easy to find. We were very well looked after and our room was clean, comfortable and spacious (premium)and the ensuite bathroom more than adequate. The service was good and the staff very helpful and welcoming. I would highly recommend it.

The service was great but the hotel was hard to find. It is in a great location for getting around Venice and close to the train which was important for us.

The service at this hotel was unbelievable, the guys couldn't do enough for us. I would definitely recommend a stay here for service, price and location. The room was really nice, clean and a good size. Would definitely stay here again!

Breakfast could be better

Nos gustó mucho éste hotel, el personal es muy amable y profesional. La habitación es espaciosa y el ambiente agradable . Es un poco caro, pero vale la pena.

3 noches estuvimos y realmente estabamos muy cerca del tren y de donde dejamos el coche. la zona es muy centrica y llena de lugares para todo. Super, tiendas, etc. Cerca vaporeto y para recorrer la ciudad. Realmente recomendable y de gran calidad humana todos los que nos atendieron. Incluso nos compensaron por un desayuno que no llegamos a tomar por salir muy temprano de viaje. Agradecidisimos.

This hotel is located at 5-7 minutes' walk from railway station. It took us a little longer when we first arrived there because there was no walking instruction on the website. The room is very spacious, especially the bathroom. We were almost thrilled when first seeing it after staying in hotels in Rome, Florence and Bologna. Waiters were very friendly. When we arrived the room was not ready, but waiters offered to bring our luggage to the room on 2nd floor once the room was ready, so that we could start touring right away.

Spacious and very clean room, updated decor, high quality double-pane windows kept out the noise, efficient air conditioner (that was NOT turned off at night, unlike other hotels in Italy), and convenient to the train station. Although there was no in-room refrigerator, we were allowed to use the hotel's. Would return in a heartbeat.

He estado 3 veces en el hotel locanda herion y cada vez que vamos a venecia procuramos que sea nuestro hotel, centrico, bien comunicado y la atencion excelente. Hotel muy recomendado. gracias.

Having had a bad experience a week earlier of a checking into another hotel in Venice, also reserved through Venere, this was a most pleasant experience. The staff were very friendly and helpful and willingly answered any questions we had about getting around Venice. The rooms were clean and spacious. We had a very good breakfast outside in a small courtyard. The location was excellent. would definitely recommend this hotel and would certainly return

Very closeto the train station but no noise from the trains. Very nice, clean room. The hotel staff were very helpful. They all spoke english well and helped us find train schedules and recommended restaurants that we liked.

The room was a nice size nice and clean, the 2 people working there that we met Nassar and the girl there were very helpful and took a lot of time to look things up on the computer for us, they were very friendly

Spacious room and very convenient location. The hosts are very nice and helpful!
