Ca' d'Oro Giorgio Franchetti Gallery

We had the good fortune of staying in room 101. Large and comfortable with multiple windows, doors and balconies on two sides of the building, including facing the grand canal, which after walking the city for three days, is a must to look out over if you can. Stay away from the smaller canals where there is no breeze, no sunshine and possibly some bad smells. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast and evening cocktails were excellent and there was even a green space, which is very rare in Venice. The only drawback is that the hotel is next to one of the water taxi stops so there is some noise, but if peace and quiet is your expectation for this city, you are at the wrong destination. We would stay here again without question.

Overall, Hotel Ca' Alvise was a good hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we had a pleasant stay. In general, I was happy with the hotel and would recommend it for a short stay in Venice.
