Santa Maria Valverde

Room was nicely decorated and attractive, but it was small. Had a hanging rod for clothes, but no drawers nor many surfaces to put things. Shower stall was very small, but the showerhead was very good so showering was not a problem and I am over 6 feet. Lighting in the bathroom was dim. Staff was nice but they were never present at night so if you didn’t get back from touring around town in the early evening, you couldn’t get any help with anything. Continental breakfast was fine but it was €12 and I believe the Expedia website had a lower price. The location was fantastic, two minutes from Saint Mark Square, there is a grocery store right around the corner to buy water and fruit and essentials. The restaurants heading north from the hotel were pretty reasonably priced and I found a good breakfast spot right around the corner. Overall, it was a great place to stay as a solo traveler and I think it would’ve been OK for two people as well.

Great location. We parked at Tronchetto and took the shuttle boat from the parking area (€10 per person) to Venice. The hotel is very close to the San Marco/San Zaccaria area, so once we arrived by boat we were immediately in the heart of Venice. St. Mark’s Square and many major attractions were just a short walk away. Family room has double bed (larger than king) and two twin beds. Expedia listing has a queen but actually it is larger. Breakfast is also worth it.

Lovely location away from the crowds but not so far from Rialto etc. Good quality hotel. Very clean!! Cleaner than many other 5 star hotels I've experienced. Some great food places nearby by the canalside too. Especially the restaurant Very Good. With another travel companion, I would have liked to have tried the hotel restaurant. Would certainly stay here again if staying in Carneggio.
