There are 2 restaurants across the street from the hotel. Patrons can be loud when drinking at night so be aware of this. Room 2 urgently needs one chair reupholstered and is not useable. Room was very clean and the hot shower was good. Staff are very friendly and recommended Nevodi restaurant (15 minutes walk from hotel) for dinner. The food was very good but if you sit outdoors, be sure to use bug spray since the mosquitoes will bite. I recommend this small hotel with its close location to the center of town! 👍👍

Small family run hotel. Staff are friendly and helpful with eating/activity suggestions. Great location - close to restaurants and vaporetto stop. Close enough to San Marco, but without the crowds. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Bed was comfortable, shower worked well, as did the air conditioner. Hotel has a lift, which is a bonus in Venice. Would recommend.

It’s a small old boutique type of hotel owned by a family. The staff are the owners and they are delightful.. their recommendations were excellent. We had such a lovely time. The rooms are simple but very clean. The shower works very well with great water pressure and the air conditioner was excellent.

Our room wasn't nice. It was sparsely furnished and resembled a college dormitory room. However, if you're just looking for a clean place to sleep, the location is great!

Gem of a hotel near San Marco

Hotel Fontana is a gem run by 2 cousins who understand customer service. You can not ask for a better location and the breakfast, which you have to buy, is well worth the €11 charged. And they have an elevator that works! I expect a hotel in Venice to be a bit dated, it's part of the charm, but my parents stayed in a room that smelt bad. Not sure what it was but we had to keep the windows open at all times. If they get that fixed, 10/10.

We got a friendly welcome both when we arrived and each time we came back. The room was big and clean. It was very convenient for public transport and in walking distance of many attractions of the city, yet it was in a slightly quieter area of the city. It was a shame that the terrace was closed for the autumn and winter as it looked attractive. The room overlooked a small square with restaurants. We enjoyed the street noise in the morning and evening but if you are not used to city life you might find it a bit annoying.

This hotel is in the BEST location for exploring Venice. Just 3 minutes away from the ferry terminals in the south, less than 10 minute walk to St. Mark's square, dining and bars right outside the doors, amazing!! As a solo female traveller, I felt super safe in this hotel. The only thing is that the bed was so small and super uncomfortable. The pillows are flat and they only provide 2. The ceiling in the tub/shower was low (I'm only 5' 3") and there was always a sewage-y smell coming from the bathroom pipes. There was also no refrigerator in the room. However, the AC works super well, there is an elevator for accessing the upper floors and the front desk staff was sooo helpful and sweet. Definitely a good value for the location alone!

This Hotel is situated perfectly for enjoying Venice. It is just a short walk from the Grande Canal. The manager Gabriel was very helpful and the room with a view of San Zaccharia church was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast at 12EU was a great bargain. Everything you could expect in Italy and more. The restaurant (Roberto) across the street is excellent as well. Book it directly with the hotel for the best price.
