Badia Calavena Holidays from NZ$5,794

Its central location was a delight and ease of making it to Saint Mark’s Square, the water taxis and gondolas. While not an issue for some, be prepared to lug your luggage to the first floor via the stairs as it has no elevators. Rooms are small, but well appointed, and hopefully you’re not in Venice to spend all day in your hotel room.

We loved our stay here. It’s the perfect location, the rooms are really clean and the breakfast was wonderful. We would definitely stay here when visiting Venice next time.

This is a great hotel at the wrong side of the canal. Going from one side to the other is only a nuisance but it makes a difference. Having said that, we still like the hotel given the cost value relationship

Okay, I’ve been to a lot of foreign hotels, some high end, others, not so much. What I liked was the character of the hotel. It wasn’t in an area that was where everyone off the street would go to, but to me was a hidden jewel of a place. It was clean and very well kept. It wasn’t overly modern, but had a charm that said to me, come try me out. The staff at the desk was very helpful and knew what I might need to know ahead of time. I was even given specific direction of some of the local eateries with the help of a map, marked where I could easily find them. I’d rate the breakfast as a clean, well kept area with trained courteous wait staff, though it was a buffet style breakfast. All in all, I could easily find myself looking to book myself easily to enjoy a peaceful restful stay. Caution though, if your looking for a noisy hotel, this is not the place to.
