Gorizia A La Valigia

"We recently stayed 3 nights in this hotel & loved it, we will definitely return. The staff are very friendly & helpful indeed, with numerous language skills. The rooms are traditional in decor, but ample for what you need & serviced every day if you wish. Our only very minor complaint would be how warm the rooms are at night, even with heating off & windows open, as air con is only on certain times of the year, but this was a very minor matter for us. The hotel is 4 floors, but the lift only goes as high as the 3rd floor, but again, absolutely fine if you have no mobility issues. Breakfast was plentiful (continuously replenished) with hot & cold options, also sweet pastries, fruit, unlimited juices, yogurts & tea & coffee etc. This hotel is perfectly situated, several mins walk from the Rialto Bridge & the airport drop-off platform for the water bus to & from Marco Polo Airport. Going in the opposite direction from the hotel, St Mark’s Square is also only several minutes walk. The hotel is in the centre of San Marco & it’s wonderful getting lost down all of the little streets & being able to enjoy everything there is to offer down those lanes, from designer stores, cafes, restaurants & all kinds of shops. Venice, is was a joy to visit you & all you have to offer, we will return. Rooms: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Location: 5/5 Rooms Very traditional, but missing nothing you need. Very clean with plenty of storage & coat hangers. Bed a bit firmer than we’re used to, but absolutely fine. Plenty of towels in our spacious bathroom & complimentary toiletries available, along with spare toilet roll. Mini bar also available. Nearby activities Rialto Bridge, St Mark’s Square, Bridge of Sighs, along with numerous variety of shops, stalls, cafes & restaurants. Safety Not once were we worried or felt in danger, even in the dark down the narrow alleys as everything is pretty well lit. Saying that, pretty much anything we carried outside of the hotel was contained by myself in a small zipped cross body bag, my Husband only ever carried anything in his front pockets. You are bumped into with people passing down narrow alleys, so be on your guard. Walkability San Marco is the perfect area to walk everywhere & get lost down the numerous streets & alleys, perusing the multitude of shops, cafes & restaurants. It’s refreshing that cars/vehicles are not around. Food and drinks Plenty of choice of food & drink outlets from cafes, bars & restaurants. Trying the ice cream is also a must. Noteworthy details The area of San Marco is a delight, we loved our stay. Everything you need is within several minutes walk. The Orange Line water bus travels to & from Marco Polo airport, it takes roughly an hour & drops you/picks up minutes from this hotel. Hotel highlights Romantic, Quiet, Great value"

"Hotel Gorizia la Valigia is ideally located in Central Venice. It's a few minutes walk from the Rialto after getting the water taxi direct from marco polo Airport. 5 minute walk will get you to St Mark's square and the grand canal to soak up thd atmosphere, while having a drink and food from one of the many cafes and restaurants. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. Large Spotlessly clean room with authentic decor. Breakfast is lovely with ample of choices. The Breakfast room is quite small, so would recommend getting the 7-30 slot! My daughter and I had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it! Overall a great little hotel and great value!"

"Big thankyou to all the staff at this lovely little hotel, everyone was so friendly and helpful from reception to the lovely ladies in the breakfast room. We stayed for 12 nights and found the hotel had everything we needed. It is a three minute walk from the Rialto boat stop so getting from the airport to hotel is so easy and at 18euros each a bargain. There are no bridges to negotiate on the short walk from the water to hotel along a narrow alleyway/street and it’s so straightforward don’t hesitate to use the public waterbus. We borrowed a kettle on arrival which is a big plus for us. There are basic toiletries provided and a free safe. The room has a minibar which you can use as a fridge. The room was a little hot but we switched the heating off from the start but was glad of the heated towel rail in the bathroom… as bathrooms in hotels can often be chilly in winter. The breakfast room although small was well organised and there is a good variety of food..with scrambled eggs and bacon on offer as well as plenty of cold choices and good selection of pastries and cakes. Have to say the coffee is one of the best I’ve tasted anywhere and the coffee machine so easy to operate. There are two supermarkets next to the Rialto and both were well stocked and reasonably priced. St Marc’s is also a three minute walk and it’s probably only 10 minutes to the academia bridge. We were so close to everything we spent our days wandering the little canals and discovering so many unexpected views. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel, it is a gem of a find."
