Ca' Amadi

What a lovely place in Cannaregio, just steps from the Rialto Bridge. Room 105 has a comfortable king bed, a nice bathroom, and a window that's so close to the canal that you can actually high-five a gondolier. Breakfast is served at 9am, which was too late for us (we had scheduled early tours every day), so each day Svetlana made sure to leave us a breakfast tray in our room: cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, milk, and more. The hotel is far enough from the crowd that it's quiet, but close enough that it's easy to get to places like the Piazza, Strada Nova, and Rialto Bridge. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

I have only posted about twenty reviews over the years, all being of 4 or 5 stars. It is not in my nature to complain and damage someone's business on a whim. So this review is not about location, the firmness of the bed or the quality of the breakfast but something far more important; the safety of this accommodations guests, particularly room 106 It is clear that there has been a history of water overflow from the bathroom shower tray. Why else would there be a secondary drain on the opposite side of the bathroom from the shower? Notwithstanding this the bathroom still gets flooded. There are no warning signs in the shower. Almost two weeks ago I had the unfortunate stay in this room. There are steps down from the bathroom into the bedroom which had become soaked, causing me to fall into my bank. The resulting pain was considerable and it took a long time to get to my feet. We made it to the breakfast room and came across on of the maids. She immediately knew which room we were in and said she would clean up the mess. There was no-one else about to discuss my fall with. By the next day the pain and bruising were horrendous. There was a lady in reception when we were going out. She said she couldn't discuss the issue, that the owner would not take calls and only turned up unannounced once a month. We should send an email which would be dealt with. After a painful journey home I was eventually persuaded by my family to go to hospital two days after getting home. An x-ray showed two broken ribs. I then sent an email to Ca amadi last Friday. I have not had the courtesy of a reply. If you book this accommodation be aware of the risks. Although it's own website claims to provide all the services of a hotel, it clearly doesn't and they could not care less about your health and safety.

The room was clean and comfortable. There is no staff at night, which is fine, but they left a letter for us stating breakfast went until 10:30, but when we arrived at 10, they said breakfast is over at 10, and checkout is at 10 too! Checkout time is not posted anywhere and I couldn’t even find it on google so that was an unpleasant surprise!

Beautiful rooms with modern bathroom. Lack communication and there were none present. No information on breakfast times, had to call and was told someone was on their way. Lack of empathy and basic customer service skills .

Beautiful building, wonderful canal views. Staff was not always present, but helpful when there.

We had a great stay at Ca Amadi. it's right on a canal, overlooking a popular gondola route. Loved staying in this historical but nicely restored building (we were told that it belonged to the family of Marco Polo long time ago). Our room was very large, had good AC and nice conveniences. The area is in close walking distance to many places of interest, and to public boats. The area is very busy with tourists, but our room was relatively quiet. We had a hard time finding the location when we first arrived; Google map just gave up at some point and we had to get a local to help us. Overall, it was a great place to stay for a couple of days of sightseeing, i would definitely recommend.

Our room was really spacious and nice! The neighboring apartment was super loud late at night, and we got very little information on check-in, so we had to figure some things out on our own. There were some water bottles under our bed, but the place was pretty clean. Amazing location and overall a good place!

hotel went down since last time I stayed some 4 years ago; I would now call it a three star guesthouse at most. I booked a superior room, which was nicely furnished but the only window went onto some sort of open corridor, like a loggia; this wouldn't have been a problem if this hadn't been the smokers corner of russian sounding guests, who refused to budge even after explaining that the smoke was drifting into our room. reception was no help, because it is only occasionally staffed, and calling them is difficult. when finally reached, the grudgy person on the other said she would try to do something but didn't. breakfast is sp**** and employees are a sourly lot.
