Albergo Cavalletto & Doge Orseolo

Bar prices high

It's central location

There was canal smell in the dining room, but it is Venice.

Although close to a major tourist attraction, the room on the top floor was peaceful.

Only one lift for the clients.

Excellent breakfast. Central location.

Extremely cramped rooms. Very thin walls. Level of noise totally unacceptable for hotel in this category. No desk or table at which to work.

Ideal location - right off Piazza San Marco

Nice staff, cheap owners. Room was v poor for the price: it was clean but tired, and so small you had to navigate it sideways like a crab. Scuffed walls, flaking paint in the tiny bathroom and a tatty old shower the size of a telephone box - ideal for people with no arms but not me. And breakfast was shameless: nice fresh little croissants, but the filter coffee was badly stewed; I then asked for a cappuccino which tasted like the machine had been cleaned at about the time my room was last decorated; and the most natural thing about the fruit juice was the photo on the front of the dispenser. OK...it's unreasonable to expect fresh orange juice, but long life milk & cheap no-brand cornflakes? Cynical!

the staff helped us to arrange the water taxi which we have booked earlier to pick us up from the hotel

the deluxe rooms for which they charged more i do not know from where it looked like a deluxe room we were only given rooms around 3.00 pm and we had to wait for nearly three hours to get all our rooms the breakfast and the breakfast room was really not good at all

The location of this hotel is fabulous at the corner of St Marks Square. Our room had views over a basin in the canal where gondolas were moored overnight. Looking upwards we could see the top of the Campanille. The room was well proportioned and furnished in classic Venetian style and spotlessly clean. Overall, I would have no hesitaion recommending this hotel particularly for couples looking for a "romantic" weekend.

One particular member of the reception staff was particularly surly as we had arrived at noon but check in isn't until 2pm. His attitude improved when we explained that we understood this but just wanted to drop our bag off in advance so we could explore the city more easily. Other than that we had no complaints whatsoever about this hotel. We have stayed in Venice many times before and have always paid more for lesser standard accomodation.

The location of the hotel is excellent, the staff were fantastic always available to help and make sure all was ok. The room was clean but could have done with some modernisation especially the bathroon taht looked as it it came from the 1970, but it all worked well and was very clean.

The room was small but the view and location were fantastic. The breakfast was good but not great. The staff was very helpful and co-operative

the central position and the view at breakfast.

The room was small, badly maintained with rotting wood on the door frame to the bathroom and a facilities in the bathroom that were cramped and inadequate for the star rating of the hotel. I think the room was overpriced and inadequate.

In the very center of the city

Great location, very comfortable rooms, good value for money & it added value to our first trip to Venice.

One of the staff members was a bit abrupt. But everyone is entitled to one bad moment. Otherwise the staff were very helpful (maybe not as friendly as other places we visited but that may be cultural) and very adept in dealing with non Italian speaking guests. We had a good time.
