“Moreish ai Mori”

Beautiful hotel with friendly and extremely helpful staff. Atmospheric and pretty with its Christmas decorations it was our first stay at that hotel, though not our first trip to Venice. They offer a tasty and plentiful continental breakfast in a charming room. The hotel appeared to be fully booked for our four day stay. Guests are mainly couples of all ages though there were a few family groups with children. Bar is small and cosy, nice place to have a drink before going out for dinner. On arrival at the airport we boarded actv bus and at Venice bus station caught the vaparetto from P. le Roma to S Marcuola (about three stops).From there it is a little over a five minute walk to the hotel which is close to the historic Venician Ghetto and a good range of shops and cafes. There's a lovely bakery just over the bridge that sells gorgeous bread and pastries baked in the traditional oven there. It's only a few minutes by vaporetto to the Rialto bridge, a few stops more to Piazzo S. Marco. On a negative note, beware of booking the cheapest standard room, they are next door to the main reception entrance, plus our comfy room only had a skylight, so no view (pitch black and very quiet at night though, best nights' sleep for years) and the heating setting was stuck at much too warm, there was also a lingering odour from the bathroom drains. That said, I'd have no hesitation in staying there again, but next time I'd pay extra for a better room.

“Quality hotel in residential neighborhood”

This hotel is in a residential area of Venice, which means it was quieter than most. It is convenient to vaporetto stations, but the chose of restaurants was limited without walking. In hotel food service is limited. The breakfast bar was average.

“Classic Venice Elegance”

If you're looking for a hotel with impeccable service, attentive and helpful staff, where the barman wears a tux (and has a fine single-malt Scotch selection), and everything looks like you stepped into a movie of Venice in 1930 (except they have WiFi in the lobby), then this is the hotel for you. The front desk / reception is classic, wood-paneled with mosaic tile floor, with dashing and well-spoken clerks (excellent English, good adice) backed by a wall of mail slots for each room where they hang your key (on a big tasseled fob) each time you leave the premises. The hotel style is elegant and warm and vaguely oriental, as you also see hints of elsewhere in Venice (which, as a powerful merchant republic, had trading relationships all over the world). The included breakfast is good and plentiful (fruit, various breads and croissants, a breakfast tart, hard-boiled eggs, juices, cereals, sliced meats and cheeses, yogurt, bottled water, and a fabulous expresso/capuccino/cafe latte/hot chocolate machine), with inside seating plus outside in a spacious, pretty courtyard. There are three separate small buildings, the main one in front with multiple floors, another one on the side (also multiple floors) and another in back (with plans to expand to another building). Our room 303 was in the back first floor, smallish but tall ceilings, a huge window, quiet, nice bathroom, cable TV; although dimly lit, anemic A/C. Phone calls are expensive as is internet after a free 1/2 hour.

“Second Time Around”

We first stayed at the Ai Mori D'Oriente in Sept. 09. We found it convenient to a Grand Canal Vaporetto stop, as well as a Lido, Murano or Burano Vaporetto line. The hotel gives each guest a sense of luxury which is reinforced by attention to detail. The staff was very accommodating and communication in English was not a problem. The bed was very, very comfortable, and the room was a very good size. The bath was wonderful. The entire property is well maintained. One knock: No internet connection in the rooms. One must use a computer space located near the hotel lobby.

“Nice Venice Hotel near Ghetto”

Nice location in a quiet area... good service and very clean.

“Not bad, not great”

Breakfast was same stuff each day. Staff were fine. Had to teach them to make a Martini/Gibson. Cocktail onions are 'cipolinas' and they said they would start stocking them. Bar is nice. Location is off the beaten path; which was a plus. Explore and enjoy!

“Need better soundproofing between rooms”

The hotel staff were friendly, helpful and service oriented and the rooms were very neat and clean. The location suited our needs however it was a 30 minute walk to Piazza San Marco. With regard to our feedback, we would have liked more variety at breakfast and would have enjoyed a better night sleep had we not heard the noises coming from our neighbours television set.

“Nice quiet hotel in Venice”

This hotel was a lovely hotel in a quiet area in Venice. It was easy to access via the 41/42 or 51/52 or Airport ferries. It was approx 2 blocks from the main avenue in Venice and is near some nice restaurants and bars. The rooms are fairly small but comfortable and the staff were very helpful. Breakfast was included as was free 30mins of Internet. If you can get around on the Ferry system in Venice then this place is great as it is a little off the beaten track. Our advice is not to go to the restaurant just down from the hotel as the food is terrible and a rip off. Instead stick to the restaurants closer to the main strip in town.

“An oriental delight”

This hotel, as its name suggests, is 'oriental' in character and decor - celebrating Venezia's postion as an historical meeting point between traders from the east and the west. It is situated in a quiet area of Cannaregio - providing a haven of peace away from the often unbearable 'busyness' of the main drag from the station via Rialto to San Marco. Its situation is just one canal away from the Fondamenta della Ormesini/Misericordia, on which are situated a number of bars and restaurants, including the 'authentic' - and moderately priced - Antica Mola. Although apparently remote, the hotel can be reached by vaporetto and an eight minute walk either from San Marcuola on the Canale Grande or, from the north, the stop at Madonna del 'Orto (itself a church that should be visited). The hotel provides an excellent breakfast and has a bar area where patrons can - albeit at a price - refresh themselves after a day visiting the sights.
