La Locandiera

The staff were so helpful, the check-in was hard though. Had very little information but once we found a worker there she was great. Our room was nice, the walls were thin though. For a 2 star hotel, it was nice. It came with complimentary items in the bathroom, hot water. There were a lot of mosquitos, again that’s Venice, but we kept our windows shut and weren’t sure how they were getting in. Good location too. But all in all, enjoyed it.

Nothing major wrong with the place. Large, a bit dated and dark, not as nice as the pictures but no big problems. Good heat and hot water. Quiet neighborhood. Big issue was the gate in front has a key pad or electronic card to get in. They didn’t give us a code, only an electronic fob to wave in front to unlock. Several times coming home it didn’t work and we couldn’t get into the building. The office is there but after initial Check-In we never saw anyone staffing the office. We tried knocking and calling both numbers posted but no one ever picked up, so we were stuck. Thankfully someone else was coming home and let us in. However the last night it was very cold and we were stuck for over an hour outside. They didn’t answer the phone, we texted ******* and they tried to contact the host with no response. Finally ******* said we should find somewhere to stay for the night, even though our luggage was stuck inside the place. ******* said they wanted to request a refund from the host for the last night in our behalf, but also said the host would not likely ever respond or repay anything, and they were right. Finally the host answered a message through the ******* app with a code number to get in, no explanation or apology. Overall, not a terrible apartment, we wouldn’t stay again. It’s uncomfortable to walk around the city knowing that when you get home you might not be able to get in, no one is in the office or answers the phone.

It was a little hard to find since our phones weren’t working very well but the locals helped us to find it. It a beautiful place to stay at, very clean and easy to check in.

hotel was good value for money ( relative to other properties in the area - not cheap obvs!). it was spotlessly clean, spacious room, very comfy bed. Window overlooked a little canal. There was tea, coffee and biccies. There isn’t s bar or restaurant ( it’s more like an air B&B that gets cleaned every day!) but it’s a 2 min walk to a gorgeous square full of bars and cafes. Check in and out super quick and easy and staff lovely. Deffo a safe nice choice. :)

Loved the location. Room was way over priced. Nobody at the front desk at checkout. We wanted to leave our bags and explore the area a bit more before leaving. In the ad they said the reception was open from 8 am to 8 pm. The price was drastically changed while booking. They advertised rooms for $128 and I was charged over $200. I didn’t catch it til 10 minutes after booking and they refused to let me cancel. The rating is too high. The room was clean.

We arrived early in Venice and were able to stop by the hotel. It is a very short walk from the vapporetto stop. I highly suggest communicating with them your time of arrival in Venice. They will send you messages with the ******* messaging and they will respond to your inquiries. We were able to check in our baggages well in advance while we went sight seeing. The hotel is situated in a small square where not many tourists pass through. You walk 1 or 2 minutes in any direction and you find bistros, restaurants and shops. It is very close to St. Mark Square. A 4 minutes walk to the edge of the laggon, turn right, and your'e there. The room we had is 01. Nice studio with all the amenities. You can open the window on the canal. There's even an old door that opens on the canal, giving you a unique view. The bed was clean and comfortable. There are 2 A/C units which help make the room dry and cold if you like it that way. We did. The staff is without questions the most helpful and friendly I've seen in all my travels. For example, I wet my pants, socks and boots because of the high tide. The lady at the front desk let me change my pants, socks and booths in a private room, even after I had checked out. There's Netflix, prime and more directly on the TV, you need to log into your account. There's also YouTube on the TV and free wifi. I am very happy with my choice.

We booked La Locandiera as a no-frills but well-located accommodation option, and it exceeded our expectations. Of course there are some small areas that could use improvement (the occasional peeling paint or shower that leaks a bit of water onto the tile floor), but overall we would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to others. The communication was great in everything from giving a dropped pin and specific directions to the hotel, to assisting us to come up with alternate ways to get back to the airport when the city water taxi service we had already paid for went on strike. The bed was firm but very comfortable, as was the bedding. The air conditioning worked really well and was a welcome relief after days out in the sun. The location is brilliant for anywhere you might want to go, but just far off the tourist squares that it's quiet and relaxing over night. While this is a no-frills accommodation, the room and bathroom were very spacious and everything worked well.

The moment we arrived , the staff guide us starting from arrival from the airport , what to take to go there, which transportation ( blue line) . She waited for us until we arrived in the port area. The place is convenient to places like San Marco square, the Rialto , Doge’s Palace. Gondola pass by at the back of the room where in you will hear either someone is singing or just passing by. The room is clean , you can cook it has kitchen. Overall I was happy and pleased to La Locandiera, I would recommend.
