Antica Locanda Sturion  

The breakfast room has an excelent view to the Venice Grand Channel, the same is valid for two rooms on the both sides next to the breakfast room. The staff was very nice and correct. Very pleasantly surprised with a bottle of champaigne and small pandoro on 31th december 2011.

After 30 minute walk from Piazzale Roma (Railway station) you have to climb a long staircase up to the 4th floor - But this is Venice, you have to live with this as we did and enjoyed our stay very much.

Location is excellent and value was good given the location. Close to dining, shopping and the Rialto Bridge, the main pedestrian thoroughfare between the two sides of the city. Very convenient location, and not too difficult to walk to from the Bus (Piazzale Roma) or Train station. Nice breakfast in the morning, though the hours are short (8:00-9:30 only). They held our bag after checkout time (11:00 am) until later when we were ready to leave the city at 3pm. Great view of Grand Canal and Rialto from the window in the dining area. There is a 1.5 Euro city tax per person that you must pay in cash upon checkout. They take credit cards for the room rate.

There are 69 steps up to the lobby. Then there were another 17 up to the main floor of our room (#10). It seems there were two rooms on the higher level, and eight rooms on the lobby level. So one needs to be ready to make the climb - initially with any luggage you have, and when coming and going throughout the stay.

Best location for sightseeing. Nice breakfast service.

No lift to 4th floor, only steps. It may be tough to bring heavy baggages.

The location of this hotel is superb. A short walk to the major attractions in Venice, on the grand canal with several excellent eateries nearby. Don't under estimate the value of location in this city. The water taxis are expensive.

The steps. 65 steps straight up and no lift. If you are in bad physical condition, pass on this hotel.

great location.

69 steps to the lobby and room. Ugh. Air conditioning was poor at best.

Excellent hotel : professional, customer-focused, super location, exquisite decoration!

Hotel is situated at 3rd floor: the view is fantastic but the stairs are a good exercise

nice location facing Grand Canal; cosy and quite; atmosphere; breakfast room with fantastic views

very long staircase (though, it was not a problem for us)

Excelent location on the Grand Chanal.

The hotel staff was helpful and the room was beautiful. The location is jaw dropping gorgious.

view and location very good breakfast ok a lot of stairs so only for fit people :-)

The hotel has a perfect city centre location, is quiet with friendly and helpful staff (especially when booking concerts).

staff, location, room excellent

only drawback 70 stairs up to hotel and no lift

Местоположение. В двух шагах от моста Риальто. Очень удобно для совершения прогулок по городу - до всех главных достопримечательностей близко! Отель хороший, хоть и вход через какую-то подворотню. Есть номера с видом на Риальто и Гранд канал. Дороже, но красиво же! Обстановка уютная, номера чистые, отделаны под старинный дизайн. Для декора использована местами настоящая антикварная мебель. Кровати хорошие - спина не болела. Однако, при исполнении произвольной программы в паре разъезжаются. Это не двуспальная кровать, а вплотную составленные две односпальные!... Персонал очень приветливый, всегда можно поговорить (и даже понять) по-английски, даже с нашими зачаточными знаниями

Не могу сказать "не понравилось", но удивило - входная лестница: весьма длинный подъем (третий этаж) сплошная лестница без поворотов. Особенно впечатляет, когда "лезешь" вверх с чемоданами. Завтраки. Нет, мы не уходили голодными, но выбор... Выбора не было даже по сравнению с традиционно скромными европейскими завтраками... Хотя, при этом круассаны были божественно вкусны! (1 штука на лицо - строго!!!). Ну и..... Италия пока не готова к суровым зимам. Мы попали на февральский минимум температуры. Холодно. В номерах холодно. Не спасает кондиционер, установленный на +27. Отопление-то не предусмотрено!!! Холодно на улице и невозможно согреться в номере....... Понтяно, отель не виноват, наверное летом в жару там очень хорошо - прохладный пол, тенистый номер..... Короче, отель хороший!
