Hotel Cavalletto e Doge Orseolo

Hotel Cavalletto e Doge Orseolo

8/10 Good
"The hotel was in a good location, the staff was friendly and they had a good breakfast. However the breakfast room was full of mosquitoes and the entire floor we stayed in smelled strongly like cigarettes even though it’s non-smoking and my wife had trouble sleeping due to the noise outside."

"Hotel was very nice, great buffet breakfast. It is not in the popular San Marco area but in a quieter area. Still convenient to walk or take public water bus to other areas, if needed. Hotel staff is very friendly & lots of local restaurants in area close to hotel. Highly recommend!!"

Hotel Abbazia

Hotel Abbazia

10/10 Excellent
"Great stay. From the baggage storage from an early arrival, to checkout, it was a wonderful experience. The room was bigger than expected. The room darkening shades and comfortable bed made for a few nights of good sleep. The bartender Bane makes a tasty spritz. He helped us choose a place for dinner for our 25th wedding anniversary. Bane even called and made a reservation for us. The table was right on the canal and his recommendation did not disappoint. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Venice in the future."
