Hotel Ovidius

The staff were friendly and helpful; the room was lovely (even though Venetian decor is not our style, we liked the room very much); the breakfast room overlooking the canal was excellent; the lounge, also overlooking the canal, was also very good.

Location.

Being woken up @ 07.30 by road works outside our room. Poor choice @ breakfast

The staff welcomed us with open arms and everyone was really pleaqsant during our stay. It was unfortunate that I wasn't able to stay at the start of our Italy trip. The rooms were a good size and the lounge on the third floor was beautiful.

Location

very small

The location of the hotel was perfect, beautiful view and friendly staffs.

The hotel staff did not agree with the hotel contidition that was public on the confirmation. Unfortunately we had a little confrontation on arrival.

The hotel is on the Grand Canal in Venice which made it ideal for visiting the city and visiting restaurants. When we were there the festival was on and we were able to see (with great views) the gondalla races from the 2nd floor lounge or the 3rd floor brewakfast area.

Mosquitos. At other places we stayed in Italy we were given plug in devices similar to the plug in air fresheners we see here in Canada that emmitted some sort of orour (undetectable by us) that keppt the mosquios at bay. The hotel should look into providing these as I recieved over 8 bites (I usually never get bitten) and my wife and daughter recieved 10 to 20.

Great location, value, and staff. Because of a breakdown in the air conditioning unit, we were upgraded upon our arrival to gorgeous rooms, overlooking the Grand canal and were treated tremendously well by the staff. Room 202 was my junior suite, amazing and 201 was a beautiful double superior. Breakfast was well above adequate, service was impeccable and there are 2 lovely terraces where one can have an apperitivo, a smoke, a cappucino and watch the traffic on the canal. There are comp snacks upon arrival and a well stocked minibar. Lovely. I just wish we could have stayed more days. Plus the hotel has a lift/elevator, a huge plus in Venice. I will definitely return.

Nothing negative due to the hotel, but having slept with the windows wide open, we were awakened a tad early by the morning canal traffic. An easily adjusted issue with either earplugs or shutting the windows before bed.

Not too hard to find, being its Venice. Near Rialto. Quiet location. Pleasant room decor. Clean.

Easy to find, which is no mean thing in Venice. Knowledgeable and helpful reception staff, prepared to go out of their way to meet guests' needs; personally serving drinks on the terrace is in no receptionists' job description. Great little terrace where one can have a puff - worth advertising since rooms are non-smoking - and watch the gondolas go by.

Fantastic location, great for couples and families. Breakfast room and food were lovely. Great balcony to sit on and eat snacks and wine bought from the market (cheaper than a bar!!!), overlooks grand canal and rialto bridge.

The location was fantastic - only a few metres from the Rialto Bridge and easy to find. Hotel reception staff were very friendly. Excellent view over the Grand Canal from the breakfast room.

Rather expensive but then again so is everything in Venice, particularly in the summer! At the time of booking it was certainly the best value for money I could find considering its location and 3* rating. Only negative point about the rooms were that the walls are rather thin.

Nice room decoration, close to the Rialto bridge and not difficult to find.

The price, but other hotels are pricey too in Venice. The bath tub could have been cleaner.
