Alla Corte Rossa  

We stayed in the Alla Corte Rossa for three nights in April 2011. I've never met such a nice and helpful hotel owner in my life. We had never been to Venice before and knew very little about the city. The owner of the hotel immediately took out our map and suggested how we might best spend our few days there. This was brilliant as I think we may have wasted lots of time otherwise. Thanks a million for that. The location is superb. It's on a really quiet canal but only two mins walk to a really lively square, Piazzo Margarita, this was the most lively place we found in Venice on our stay, lots of restaurants and bars.Also the hotel less than ten mins walk from the train station and about 20mins from st Mark's Square. Good location. We stayed on the third floor. The room was nice and clean and the bathroom was fine, shower was lovely.

The main issues we had with the Hotel was the awful breakfast. Breakfast is served in your room as they don't have a breakfast room. You'll find your breakfast already in the room when you arrive! It consists of a tray with packaged croissants, packaged biscuits and packaged toast! The staff do however serve coffee with bread and cheese in the morning at your room at your preferred time but after 8.30. The coffee was okay but everything else was pretty awful to be honest. Expect to have to feed yourself once you get out of the hotel. The air-conditioner in the room didn't really cool the air, it just blew it around so we found ourselves having to leave the windows open a lot which resulted in me getting 12 mosquito bites during the night!

Great, simple hotel in the less touristy student neighbourhood. Extremely friendly staff and good value.

Very small room and no public area.

Excellent location- walking distance to everything and some amazing restaurants but far enough away from the overcrowded and overhyped tourist areas. Staff were extremely welcoming and helpful, great local insight which made our trip! Would recommend this place to everyone and definately stay here if in Venice again.

The location is good. Near the roma piazzale.

Room was too small. A bit noisy between room and inside. Shower is very small.

Very friendly staff , cute nice room, very clean , ac. ,

They charged extra 2.5 Euro per person per night for citytax which was not mentioned in the booking , breakfast very ordinary,

Alla Corte Rossa is situated in close proximity to the railway station (with straight forward directions), alongside a canal that is not very busy with boat traffic in a fairly quiet part of Venice, but still within easy reach of its main sights. We were given a great orientation by Paolo when we arrived and were able to explore Venice armed with a map provided by him and lots of advice. The room and bathroom were comfortable. Breakfast, served in the room at a specified time the day before, is basic but adequate by Italian standards.

The beautiful view from the terrace and the friendly staff.

Double bed in fact were two single beds put together.

kindness of the employees

Everything was bad: breakfast was a joke (you can choose do you want to eat coffee or tea :) and bring only 2 slices of bread with 1 slice of cheese), they don't change towels, they don't tide the room, a/c worked not good, shower wasn't confortabile and etc etc etc. not recommended.

The owner is simply fantastic and know how to make you feel at home. Good location and quiet place. Nice view to a canal.

The breakfast, although served in the room (very romantic), it could have fresh croissants and nice italian cheese.

We stayed for two nights on a break to Venice and it was beautiful. We were close enough to be hopping on a vaporetto in less than 10 minutes or, walk the other way and we were tucking into delicious late-night gelato and enjoying vino in the student area. The hotel itself faces onto a bustling little canal and is an easy walk from the train station or Piazzale Roma. Rooms are well furnished with an en suite bath and shower. You get a simple breakfast brought to your room in the morning and the keys so you come and go as you please. It's staffed from 8am until 8pm but the staff go out of their way to tell you great places to see and things to do. They also provide you with a map so don't bother shelling out on expensive ones at the airport! Lovely. Would recommend it to anyone.

Notre chambre correspondait bien à la proposition du site, vaste, lumineuse avec vue sur le rio et typiquement vénitienne. Le petit déjeuner était bien fourni et copieux selon notre demande et servi en chambre. La situation géographique est excellente pour visiter Venise et dans un quartier calme et chaleureux à proximité ds services, Cet hotel est de petite taille et l'accueil est chaleureux, A10mn à pied de la piazzale Roma et du pont de l'académie,il est facile à trouver et c'est un départ idéal de balades.
