Great location. We had a canal view suite. We stayed during the heat wave and unfortunately our aircon didn’t work the best but I guess it’s not normally that hot either. Staff were very accommodating. The breakfast was great.

We had the room that was literally on the Grand Canal, open the window and the Grand Canal waters are lapping below the window...you just can't get better than that.
Breakfast was wonderful and filling , kept us going for most of the day. Any employee that was at the front desk ....were a copy of the owners pride and service to you as their customer.
Our room oozed with Character of the 14th Century ...was an absolute delight .
The room was was not 5 star type room....but it does not matter...

My wife and I stayed at this hotel during our visit to Venezia, a short train trip away from Venezia Mestre. Venezia Mestre provides a cheaper and arguably more authentic Italian experience away from the hoards of tourists visiting and staying in Venezia. Al Vivit is very clean, comfortable, affordable hotel that is easy walking distance from everything. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to visit Venezia.

Location was excellent within walking distance of both the train station and St Marks Square. The room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. Staff were fantastic and extremely helpful. Highly recommend the Antigo Doge hotel.

Great boutique hotel in a great location with friendly staff. The room was very comfortable, and ours had great views to the canals. After the hustle and bustle of San Marco, it was great to be able to sit quietly in their courtyard and have an aperitif and watch some gondolas go by.

Amazing location and great hotel. Staff were always friendly and helpful. Albert from the kitchen and breakfast staff was particularly helpful and always friendly and cheerful.

It has the delightful decadence of a grand palazzo including the large Murano glass chandelier in our room. Spacious and reasonably modern bathroom. Pretty much as in the pictures, although the rooms connect by winding corridors. A good breakfast selection. Very quiet location, just the odd boat on the canal outside the window. Near the Accademia bridge so easy to go places either side, lots of very good restaurants within 10min walk. Stayed 4 nights for my birthday, enjoyed the stay.

Perfect property in Venice.
Only a short walk from the rialto vaporetto station and within walking distance to major attractions including the Doge’s palace. Room size was good. Great facilities, air con helped in the heat. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.
