We booked the hotel Fontana based on tripadvisor reviews and we were not disappointed. This charming Venetian style hotel is well situated within 5 minute walk of St Marks Square and 2-3. Minutes from water bus stop San Zaccaria. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Our room was simply furnished, clean and functional with a small bathroom. The shower... More

This was a great hotel - right in the middle of Venice. Easy to get to (5 mins walk from the San Zaccaria vaporetto stop) and only a short walk to St Mark's Square. The hotel owners were extremely friendly and easy going, very chatty and welcoming. Breakfast was simple but exactly what was needed to kick start each day... More

Myself and my husband stayed here on our trip to Italy in April. The hotel's location was excellent. We got off the waterbus at St Mark's Square and walked up the canal for what felt like ages. We then realised we had gone way too far and noticed the hotel was really near to St Mark's Square. We walked all... More

When we arrived at the hotel we were greeted by Diego who was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is really close to the water taxi stop of San Zaccaria and no more than a 5 minute walk to St Marks Square. The location is fantastic with a cracking little bar right next to the hotel selling lovely cheap wine... More

This is a charming family run hotel in a great location. Our room was huge by European standards. We were pleasantly surprised. Front desk staff provided directions and excellent restaurant recommendations. The second restaurant recommendation had the best pasta we've ever had! Only downside is we had a room facing the courtyard which was very noisy. I'm a heavy sleeper... More

The hotel staff was charming and very helpful. The hotel is ideally located near by but not too nearby to Piazza San Marco. Our room worked perfect for our needs, and we thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast service. Its a great family run operation that we hope stays in business for a very long time.

We felt like we were invited into their home and treated like family. Gabrieli and Diego were helpful in every aspect - even helping to book our next stop in Florence when the language barrier prevented us from booking a hotel. It was clean with a perfect location and nice continental breakfast.

Friendliest Hotel we have stayed in. Only minutes from the ferries and St Marks square. Good selection of restaurants and bars right on the doorstep. We had a lovely big room and cannot find anything we did not like.

The hotel is in a great location and we stayed in a nice clean room with a very comfortable bed. The bathtub/shower took a little getting used to. It was essentially a bathtub with a shower attachment that made for a pretty wet and messy shower if you weren't careful. But, in the end, we were able to shower every... More
