Great service, very clean. Provided soap, water, kettle, instant coffee and had a great view of canals. However, there were a lot of mosquitos and I’m covered in bites. We couldn’t figure out how they were getting in, but we killed A LOT. Not Locanderia’s fault though, they were all over Venice.

Nothing major wrong with the place. Large, a bit dated and dark, not as nice as the pictures but no big problems. Good heat and hot water. Quiet neighborhood. Big issue was the gate in front has a key pad or electronic card to get in. They didn’t give us a code, only an electronic fob to wave in front to unlock. Several times coming home it didn’t work and we couldn’t get into the building. The office is there but after initial Check-In we never saw anyone staffing the office. We tried knocking and calling both numbers posted but no one ever picked up, so we were stuck. Thankfully someone else was coming home and let us in. However the last night it was very cold and we were stuck for over an hour outside. They didn’t answer the phone, we texted Expedia and they tried to contact the host with no response. Finally Expedia said we should find somewhere to stay for the night, even though our luggage was stuck inside the place. Expedia said they wanted to request a refund from the host for the last night in our behalf, but also said the host would not likely ever respond or repay anything, and they were right. Finally the host answered a message through the Expedia app with a code number to get in, no explanation or apology. Overall, not a terrible apartment, we wouldn’t stay again. It’s uncomfortable to walk around the city knowing that when you get home you might not be able to get in, no one is in the office or answers the phone.

hotel was good value for money ( relative to other properties in the area - not cheap obvs!). it was spotlessly clean, spacious room, very comfy bed. Window overlooked a little canal. There was tea, coffee and biccies. There isn’t s bar or restaurant ( it’s more like an air B&B that gets cleaned every day!) but it’s a 2 min walk to a gorgeous square full of bars and cafes. Check in and out super quick and easy and staff lovely. Deffo a safe nice choice. :)

Loved the location. Room was way over priced. Nobody at the front desk at checkout. We wanted to leave our bags and explore the area a bit more before leaving. In the ad they said the reception was open from 8 am to 8 pm. The price was drastically changed while booking. They advertised rooms for $128 and I was charged over $200. I didn’t catch it til 10 minutes after booking and they refused to let me cancel. The rating is too high. The room was clean.

We arrived early in Venice and were able to stop by the hotel. It is a very short walk from the vapporetto stop. I highly suggest communicating with them your time of arrival in Venice. They will send you messages with the Expedia messaging and they will respond to your inquiries. We were able to check in our baggages well in advance while we went sight seeing. The hotel is situated in a small square where not many tourists pass through. You walk 1 or 2 minutes in any direction and you find bistros, restaurants and shops. It is very close to St. Mark Square. A 4 minutes walk to the edge of the laggon, turn right, and your'e there. The room we had is 01. Nice studio with all the amenities. You can open the window on the canal. There's even an old door that opens on the canal, giving you a unique view. The bed was clean and comfortable. There are 2 A/C units which help make the room dry and cold if you like it that way. We did. The staff is without questions the most helpful and friendly I've seen in all my travels. For example, I wet my pants, socks and boots because of the high tide. The lady at the front desk let me change my pants, socks and booths in a private room, even after I had checked out. There's Netflix, prime and more directly on the TV, you need to log into your account. There's also YouTube on the TV and free wifi. I am very happy with my choice.

Central location, super helpful staff, good value
We booked La Locandiera as a no-frills but well-located accommodation option, and it exceeded our expectations. Of course there are some small areas that could use improvement (the occasional peeling paint or shower that leaks a bit of water onto the tile floor), but overall we would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to others. The communication was great in everything from giving a dropped pin and specific directions to the hotel, to assisting us to come up with alternate ways to get back to the airport when the city water taxi service we had already paid for went on strike. The bed was firm but very comfortable, as was the bedding. The air conditioning worked really well and was a welcome relief after days out in the sun. The location is brilliant for anywhere you might want to go, but just far off the tourist squares that it's quiet and relaxing over night. While this is a no-frills accommodation, the room and bathroom were very spacious and everything worked well.

The moment we arrived , the staff guide us starting from arrival from the airport , what to take to go there, which transportation ( blue line) . She waited for us until we arrived in the port area. The place is convenient to places like San Marco square, the Rialto , Doge’s Palace. Gondola pass by at the back of the room where in you will hear either someone is singing or just passing by. The room is clean , you can cook it has kitchen. Overall I was happy and pleased to La Locandiera, I would recommend.

La Locandiera was the best place for us in Venice. So very close to St. Mark's square yet far enough off the beaten path to be very quiet and comfortable. The staff are friendly and so helpful. Would definitely recommend and would stay again if we were ever back.

The location of this hotel is wonderful, it is close to the water bus stop at the Palazzo Ducale (S. Zaccharia), just a 5 minute walk with your luggage. It faces a very quiet courtyard around a well, so away from crowds and noise, but is just a few steps from many dining and shopping places. We loved staying here. There is no dining at the hotel, but why would you want to with everything so close by. The rooms were large and very clean, and there is a full-size fridge shared by the 1st floor we were on. There is an elevator that we only used to move our luggage upstairs. Everything was very well maintained, great place.

Lovely large comfortable room with a bathroom, private kitchen and dining area overlooking a small canal. The kitchen was well equipped for small a meal preparation and fresh coffee. Fantastic location. A few minutes from San Marco Square with transport hubs. From the airport the easiest and most efficient method of transport is a water bus. We arrived via the train station which was a difficult walk to the hotel.The hotel was very clean and in a peaceful location. We were contacted ahead of arrival by Gina (hostess). Would definitely stay here again.

Great location. small & Not properly cleaned
The location is great, and we got there from the boat (with the baggage) without going over any bridge. They also kept our baggage after check-out time, but the room was very small (superior double or twin room) - not nearly as big or bright as the pictures. Inside the room, there was a connecting door to another room. There were a few stairs after the elevator, but I think it's a miracle that they managed to put in an elevator into this old building. We didn't find any common area - like a lobby. Unfortunately, we did find small hairs in the bidet - really disgusting. We didn't use the bidet, but that told us about the level of cleaning.

It is a smaller room, but thats really all you need. It is a very good location and within quick walking distance of both the Rialto and San Marco. There was soap and shower gel and towels provided. All the linen was nice and crisp. And the window looked out onto a canal. What else could you ask for? The one odd thing was to turn on the lights you put the key card into this slot. It took quite a bit of fumbling around since we got in late.

Three things are good about this property: (1) location (2) great A/C, and (3) it's clean. What didn't like was there is one on-site except for cleaning. I sent $$ calling internationally for check in. The place is a two-star hotel for a reason - it's plain and simple. Not one piece of artwork anywhere in the building. It is a place to sleep and nothing more. The rooms are very small as well. Not worth paying $300/night....ever. There are much better hotels all around. Additionally, when I asked the owner to reduce my total stay by one night so I could stay nearer to the airport, she refused. I do not recommend this property.

La Locandiera is a nice place to stay for those visiting Venice for a short stay. It is generally well-situated around Venice's major tourist attractions with most being accessible within a 10-12 minute walk from the hotel. However, Venice is a maze of paths, corridors, and alleys and finding La Locandiera was challenging at times (Google maps was always a big help!). We were fortunate enough to arrive during regular business hours and could check-in at La Locandiera itself as opposed to having to reach out for assistance, which was good because the lady who checked us in was on her first day and wasn't all that familiar with the process. All in all, it is a secure, quiet, and peaceful hotel that allowed us to visit Venice at our own pace.

Wasn’t the easiest place to find, tucked away in a corner; however, had I done my homework I could have taken a water bus to San Marco or San Zaccio and it was only a five minute walk from there. Staff were very helpful and friendly and gave great directions. Very close to St Marks Square and the water buses, so convenient. Local restaurants were excellent especially with the local dishes.

So so
The location where you check in and out from the hotel is in a completely different location across a bridge that goes over a canal. My initial impression was that this place was very unorganized. The room had no air conditioning and there was no shower curtain. The cleaning lady did a good job. At checkout I had to pay an additional fee for city tax. I have never heard of this. The hotel is in a great area and within walking distance to anything you need to see.

This is a great hotel. It looked like what I think a Venetian hotel should be. Nice accommodations, comfortable beds, very clean, close to St. Marks square.
