Location was good that’s the only good thing I have to say. The staff was nice too. However, This room is for people who don’t mind small spaces/imperfections. The shower door was messed up and falling off. The bed was so uncomfortable. I could hear seagulls making noise all day and night. The TV had no channels in English..

Lovely situation in the less touristy area of Venice, in the university area where lots of local people live. Close to the Grand Canal for water transport. Lots of good sensibly priced places to eat and drink. Brilliant breakfasts and staff all friendly and helpful. We had a lovely short break and if we visit Venice again we will come back here.

Excellent service plus beautiful peace in Venice

I can highly recommend Hotel Pausania, it is a beautiful place to stay while in Venice, located just off a quiet square with many lovely neighbourhoods to explore & have meals in. It is within walking distance to the Peggy Guggenheim Museum, Academy Bridge, also the water taxi can drop and pick you up nearby. Thanks to Hotel Pausania for a peaceful & delightful stay in Venice, my room had a beautiful view over the garden from big double windows that opened for the morning sun.

No shower in room - only bathtub which was disappointing and not made clear on Expedia app. Breakfast choices were mediocre and limited compared to hotels in Florence and Rome which we stayed at after Venice. They also gave only one complimentary bottle of water for tea and coffee which was cheap. Unlimited water should be available for price of room. Location of hotel was good and quiet.

Good location, very clean

I liked the location, it was a little further from the craziness of the St Marc Square area but it gave the full Venice experience, and it was about 10-12 minutes walk from vaporetto stops. Message the hotel in advance if you'd like a room like on the pictures and say you want a 'Fresco room' and they will try to accommodate you. Breakfast was tasty but not exactly abundant. Only cold food. The place is very clean and the inner patio is a good place to relax after a long day of walking.

Very good hotel!

The room was spacious and comfortable but the bathroom was a bit cramped because of the bidet. Overall it felt clean but the water kettle seemed a bit dusty so I didn't use it (it would have been nice to make myself some coffee though). There was an AC and a mini bar which was very nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I needed to leave at night when it was dark outisde and the man who worked in the reception was very helpful, he told me which way was the fastest and safest to the bus station and also gave me some cookies. The location is very good and felt very safe. It's close to Piazzale Roma where the buses, trains and boats are.

Wonderful Hotel in a Wonderful Location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Pausania. It is a modest hotel with a warm friendly atmosphere in a building characterized by the history and classic architecture of old Venice. Upon arrival guests enter the hotel through a historic stone courtyard that makes you feel like you have traveled back in time. The room was comfortable, clean and spacious enough to accommodate four of us, including our two children with separate beds. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us when we accidentally dropped a ring down the sink drain. They were miraculously able to retrieve it for us! And the location!! I can't say enough about the location. Dorsoduro has none of the hordes of tourists and daytrippers that San Marco and San Polo have but all of the charm! There are plenty of restaurants, shops and picturesque piazzas surrounding the hotel and all within walking distance of the more famous attractions such as St. Mark's, etc. I can't recommend Hotel Pausania enough!

Liked: Cleanliness

Loved the location

First, the positives: Hotel Pausania is located in a convenient location. It's a short walk from the hotel to the Ca' Rezzonico water bus stop, two plazas with plenty of dining options, and a bridge that crosses the Grand Canal, which leads to the main tourist area. The bathroom in our room was spotless and modern; the bedroom featured a beautiful ceiling mural and glass chandelier. The hotel also has a lovely breakfast room that overlooks a grassy courtyard. The buffet-style breakfast was a hit with our American teens. Now the negatives...My family had booked two rooms through Hotels.com, one in my name, the other in my adult son's name. At check-in, the desk clerk accepted my name and our passports to check into the first room, but asked my son to produce additional proof of his reservation. Next we encountered a foul odor in the family room, which I brought to the attention of hotel staff. To their credit, they promptly sent someone to investigate and it seemed better when we returned from dinner. Before dinner, I saw an employee standing by a bar in the lobby area. I inquired about a drink and was advised to make one in my room with the minibar. Finally, there was maintenance work going on in the narrow hallway at the top of the steps just outside our room door the morning that we checked out.
