Hotel Dell' Opera

We've got a free upgrade to the superior room with the balcony overlooking the canal - lovely room, great bed, not too 'royal' as they like to make them in Venice. Nice combination of ancient and modern, great feeling being over the canal!

I took us quite some time to find it, as Venice lacks clear displays of directions - so get a map! It is a city to be lost in, so apart from being late for opera, it did not bother us much. The superior room surprisingly does not have a bath ( I wonder if a standard one does?), which is a drawback if you are there for romantic weekend.

breakfast

Spacious comfortable room in old building with antique furniture. Helpful staff. Broadband access in room. Balcony overlooked a canal! Good breakfast choice & quality. Excellent restaurants nearby, fantastic location a few minutes from Piazza San Marco.

WiFi was too weak in the rooms to work (but staff supplied a cable which worked fine).

Small quiet centrally located hotel. The staff was very attentive to all our needs and was eager to accomodate any situations. As a physically impaired traveler, the hotel staff went out of their way to help us. We feel that it is an excellent value.

The location was excellent. There are many good restaurants within a10 minute walk although some are expensive. The staff especially at reception were informative and polite. The breakfast provided was also good with a selection of cold meats, boiled eggs,croissant, bread rolls, cereal and fruit juice. The building is beautiful as are the rooms. To be recommended.

A wonderful experience. Giovanni was very helpful and informative. Room was very comfortable and clean.

What a wonderful hotel! I fell in love with it just after seeing its photos in the Internet and I was even more impressed when I came there for 4 nights in the middle of September. Fantastic location in San Marco area, but in a very quiet place near a lovely canal (Rio delle Veste) where the loudest "noise" comes from singing gondoliers! And if you love opera, like me, who came to Venice for La Traviata, you must stay here! The La Fenice opera house is just a few meters away. The main feature of the decor is elegance. This hotel has it's own style with soft colours and gentle light. And what is very important - the staff is great! I felt as if I was in the company of my friends. I'll certainly be back!

I've got a suggestion to Booking.com: could you please allow more space to write in the previous section :)

The convenient location close to all he sites we wanted to see and very close to the Grand Canal transportation. Good restaurants very near by. The complimentary breakfast was quite good.

Staff and location were amazing!

The rating of the hotel was accurate. The location, the room, the bathroom, the service etc. excellent. They were very helpful with the sight seeing and directions. The lady at breakfast remembered that I wanted hot water for my tea the next morning and every morning, the service was truly excellent. The location was good because we could keep popping in to the hotel and leaving our shopping or just having a rest.

Location was perfect. The staff were very helpful. The room was great.

We were on our Honeymoon and I can say that the Hotel Dell Opera was great hotel to start off our honeymoon. Hotel upgraded us to a Superior room with canal view...very spacious w/ a great size bathroom. Jason the hotel staff that checked us in was awesome. He told us about the area and sites to visit, plus the places to eat. He also told us about going out to Lido to enjoy the beaches while we were there. The continental breakfast was good and the breakfast staff was nice. Location was great b/c it was close to a lot of the major attractions without all the people traffic and noise. It is about 5 minutes to St. Marks Basilica, 15-20 minute walk to the Rialto Bridge for shopping.

Floors - could of been swept more often. First night we were there a light bulb broke all over the floor, not sure how it happened. We didn't find out about until later that night after a long day out and about. Hotel took care of it once we told them. After that, I just noticed more things on the floor, like dust, lint and stuff. Not sure if the hotel had slippers, we never asked but they could of provided them to guest by placing it in the closet.

The Hotel was very friendly , clean and central - I would defiantly go back again. We enjoyed our 3 night stay.
