Unmatchable value in central Venice
You have to judge hotels on value for money. Hotel San Salvador is a quirky hotel down a narrow Venetian street, up a narrow staircase and has odd shaped rooms with small en-suites decorated in very Venetian style. We've never seen towels made out of tea towel material before, but they do the job. What you get here is a comfortable bed, a decent shower, a nice small balcony from which you can watch a boat or two drift past and, most of all,a really friendly, warm welcome with lots of advice on how to best enjoy this incredible city. You also get an almost unmatchable location, literally 2 minutes walk from Rialto Bridge. There is a huge number of cafes, restaurants and bars on the doorstep and within a few minutes walk. You can walk to Piazza San Marco in 5 minutes or so. All of this comes at a price that you won't find anywhere else outside of the peripheral, secondary areas of the city. Why look elsewhere? Fantastic value and very nice owners.

Rooms had excellent shower facilities and the air conditioning was a relief! Due to the location being so central (close to Rialto) we were able to quickly pop back to freshen up before heading out in the evening. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful, and have good tips! The rooms are on the smaller side, but this was not a problem..they were cleaned and freshened everyday, beds made, towels changed and bins emptied. Would 100% return here if we chose to visit Venice again. Thank you for our lovely stay.

We loved our stay. The room was charming. Ambra was so nice. She gave us great suggestions on places to see and food to try. We had a flickering light in the bathroom, and as soon as we told Ambra about it, she changed the bulb. Ambra needs a raise!!! The hotel is very close to the Rialto Bridge. We would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Excellent location, clean, no-frills room
The room was very clean and well kept up. Ambra and her staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and provided excellent service and tips about the best places to eat and how to maximize our time spent in Venice. It wasn't the fanciest room, but the price was unbeatable for the location, which was about as good of a spot as you could be in.

One of the best experiences for a hotel...
The best experience I have ever had in Venezia / Venice. Ambra, who runs the hotel is so helpful with everything and extremely friendly. She first gave me directions to the hotel and I never got lost. Gave me pointers where to go and those places where amazing. Gave food places, one of the best breakfast & pizza, I have ever had... The hotel is between two streets and very quiet and safe. This is a must place to go...

The property was about 20 min walk from train station but felt like 10-15 cause of the views along the way, you could also take a boat from train station and drop off close to hotel, and walk about 5 min. The staff is great and very helpful. If your looking for good location, nice and clean room, something simple, but meets all your needs, this place is perfect!

Perfect Hotel for Venice.
Such a wonderful place! Right near the Rialto Bridge. Centrally located and just a quick walk to San Marco Square. The room is small but comfortable. Perfect for Venice as you want to be out and about. The Innkeeper was incredibly nice. I believe her name is Ambra. So helpful. So pleasant. I will stay there again when I go back. Make sure you save directions when they email you. Tough to find. Located down a small alley way next to the (ugh) Disney Store. Ring the bell, up one flight of stairs. No real sign except for the one at the beginning of the alley.

Great Location!
I spent 3 nights at Hotel San Salvador. The location was perfect, very close to the Rialto Bridge and Rialto Vaporetto stops. Piazza San Marco was less than a 10 minute walk too. The room was decent, the bed was my least favorite part, the mattress was not the most comfortable I slept on in Europe, but not the least either. I was concerned about noise from the restaurant below the room, but that ended up not being a problem. The staff was great! The desk is manned 24/7 and everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful. I was very glad I booked my Venice stay at Hotel San Salvador!!

The area where we are located is very noisy and busy, but since that we are few steps from Rialto it is normal. We are sorry for the bed comfort, unfortunately bed is a very personal choice, and our beds are all fireproof (everything must be fireproof in Venezia, fire is our worst enemy). Grazie! Ambra

Five stars for the excellent service and property location. The facilities are clean (my room was cleaned everyday) and as described in website with prices suitable for solo travellers. I usually prefer Airbnbs close to lively neighbourhoods but this hotel is an exemption. Ambra was fabuluous with her local recommendations too! I love how you can leave the keys at the counter and don’t have to worry about losing it. The location is brilliant as its close to Rialto bridge - maps don’t work very well in Venice as the streets are alike but there are useful signs to San Marco and Rialto, so you can go back & forth to hotel without getting lost! It’s close to alilaguna rialto stop to/from airport and a good 15-20min walk to san marco. It’s cold mornings and nights in April but pretty warm during the rest of the day so it was great to be very close to shops - I go for early morning walks, go home to lose the jumper and rest, go out again for lunch, then back for siesta (sleep) and be out again with proper oufit for dinner and late night drinks. Will def be booking here again when back in Venice! Highly recommended!

The service staff was amazing and gave so many helpful tips to make our four days in Venice perfect. The Hotel is in a great location it difficult to find. Make sure you look at the pictures and read the direction before getting to Venice. I gave the “comfort” a 3/5 because the mattresses were pretty rough. That’s my only complaint. Otherwise it was a great experience!

The location of this property was excellent with not too many stairs which was great. The only issue which was stated when I saw it on Expedia, is that it is noisy and yes it is but you are in Venice and on vacation so noise should not be a big issue. My room was #15 which was right up from the entrance stairs which was not ideal. There was also a big stair to get from the room to the bathroom which was not ideal and actually loose. I would definitely stay at this property again but would see if another room was available.

Friendly staff and great location!
Awesome location, steps from Rialto Bridge and new shopping mall in Venice. The water bus stop is really close to get you anywhere you need! The single room was small as expected, but the shower was tiny, hard to fit in. It was nice to have mini fridge stocked with cold drinks to purchase. The stairs getting into the hotel and up to my room on the second floor were not got the faint of heart! Steep and narrow!!All staff went out of there way to help my stay in Venice one to remember. The only downside is there is a restaurant next store that is open until midnight then they clean up, so it is quite loud until about 1 am. I was there over a weekend, so that probably contributed to the noise. All in all it was a great place to enjoy Venice!
