Ca' dei Conti

"Had a four night stay at the Ca Dei Conti, tagged onto the end of another holiday. The location is very good, with easy access to St Mark's Square (5 minute walk). I have not stayed in other Venice hotels to compare, but found that there was surprisingly little storage space for clothing, with only very small antique furniture in the rooms we stayed in. The rooms and bathrooms were also very small, but this may well be because of the historical nature of Venice and the building in general. The breakfast was a buffet style and we only had it on one day out of four, as it was very basic and not to the liking of our children (they are 22 and 20) and it had very poor gluten-free options. Whilst the rooms were very clean, the carpets and curtains (plus pelmets) were not and I think the whole place would benefit from a really good, deep clean when time permits. Reception staff were fantastic and overall, I suspect this offers good value and is in a great location. I would however advise not to imagine a hotel in Venice which is similar to the modern hotels we are used to in other areas. The building and part of its charm is the history of Venice and this affords a good base to explore the city."

"This was the worst experience ever. We stayed at this hotel 15 years ago after it was renovated and it was good. It was so disappointing this time as the air conditioning didn’t work, the breakfast was so bad that it was inedible and the room was mouldy and dank. Don’t waste your time or money here !"

"Fabulous location and great little hotel. Had a surprise upgrade to canal view suite, which was very spacious. Continental Breakfast with reasonable choices. Air-conditioning not very strong and was difficult to change the temperature in the room."
