The staff was wonderful and went out of their way to accommodate our party of 8. Rooms were very nice and air-conditioning was really great! Quiet location, easy to get around. I would definitely stay here in the future.

Beautiful interiors. Murals on the walls and ceilings. Felt like spending the night inside an art museum or church. Modern bathroom with shower spacious enough for two. Amazing upstairs lobby. Good lighting. High ceiling. Palace architecture. Above average breakfast. Waitress was very nice.

The view of the Venice canal and location to popular Compos with restaurants,gelato shops and plenty of people watching was a plus. The bed was comfy prefer a top sheet though and the room a comfortable size.

One of our top picks in Venice.Once the residence of an aristocratic Venetian family this charming property is now a welcoming hotel. Enjoy breakfast out on the veranda, which overlooks the garden.

Hotel Pausania is an interesting property that dates back to the 14th century. Upstairs you will find a bright and spacious sitting room. On the ground floor you can connect to the internet for free.

Each room is complete with free WiFi, a TV and air conditioning. Outside in the garden you will find an original well and space to relax in after a busy day sightseeing in Venice.

Your room rate includes 1 free entrance to the Venice Casino and a free tour of a glass factory in Murano.

The Pausania Hotel is close to the church of San Sebastiano and to the Maritime Station. It is easily reached by Vaporetto (water bus), getting off at Ca'Rezzonico stop.

This is our guests' favorite part of Venice, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.1 for a two-person trip.

“Has lots of potential but still needs to work hard to get there, especially some of the staff.”

Freshly painted, both the reception and breakfast room and the sleeping levels smelled of paint. Very mixed staff. Some at the reception were very helpful, while others were very rude. The breakfast area was too small, There were no tables free to sit down. The breakfast lady is also very impolite.
Charming old architectural building, well located, for an easy access to Venice per foot. Very comfortable beds.

“Ruined our break ”

Returned from our stay on Thursday and it wasn’t a pleasant one to say the least. We arrived on the Monday and found it difficult to sleep with strong paint fumes. We moved rooms the next day, returned on the evening and the door locked was jammed! We slept in the room next door without any of our belongings, including my partners medication/contact lenses etc. We had a paid excursion booked for the following morning. We continued to go ahead in last nights clothes etc other than waiting around for the door to be unlocked! When we returned, we where told that they managed to get into our room and moved all our belongings into new room. A tiny bottle of Prosecco was left on the side for us with a note saying ‘sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding’! Somehow I managed to stay pretty calm until this moment, so I returned the gesture and said I felt it was an insult. Basically the whole stay was a shambles! It shadowed our stay in such a beautiful city. No compensation or nothing. I’m absolutely gutted!!
The location was superb!

Disappointed with the size of the bedroom, especially the bathroom, my partner couldn't even stand up in the shower as the ceiling was so low. Disappointed as we paid for a superior room.
The staff was helpful, when I reported that my silk night dress went missing, probably by mistake lost in the dirty towels.......

“Perfect place to spend a few days exploring Venice.”
- • Leisure trip

The shower was a challenge! Not a lot of headroom for a 6'2" person, but not the end of the world. Whilst completely out of the hotel's control, the mosquitoes were terrible (end October) so I would recommend insect repellent and plenty of anti-histamine cream. We made the mistake of sleeping with the window open and were eaten alive! You don't realise they are there until you wake up during the night and hear the high-pitched buzz, by which times it's too late!
Location was brilliant. 15 minutes walk to the railway station, not much more than 20 minutes to St Mark's Square, good restaurants 2 minutes away - yet so much quieter than the other side of the canal. Staff very pleasant, room lovely (very comfortable bed) and everything spotless. Breakfast was good, with excellent coffee.

Staff were on the whole friendly-especially Mauro- but not overly forthcoming with info or details of excursions, etc. The bar literally some drinks behind a counter. As a solo 40 year old traveller I would have preferred a more lively atmosphere but that is not to say that it is a perfectly beautiful and tranquil hotel, if that takes your fancy. 😁
The bed was very comfortable and the room a good size with lovely shutters and a restricted but beautiful view. The room was traditionally and exquisitely decorated. The building is amazing. I love that area of Venice and everywhere is easily accessible by the close vaporetto stops or by foot. Breakfast isn’t exactly flash but above average for places I’ve been in Italy with a good selection of foods and friendly staff.
