Very quick check in on an extremely hot day arrived early an hour early as advertised check at 1pm to be told 3pm happy to leave my luggage and go out to explore I checked struggled to get up the first flight of stairs narrow stair case to be greeted by a young male, he was just there doing his job and that was it My room was clean bed ok but the room looked nothing like the photo of the room I booked lucky I’m just 5foot but still had to bed over to make a cup of tea same I’m the bathroom no room to move around in the shower get in and stand still If you are a large tall person this room is not for you As for the hotel I really wouldn’t call it a hotel it was more like renting a room I saw nobody once I was given my keys one for my room and one for the front door it was rather unusual, my room was cleaned each day while I was out Overall it’s a budget accommodation you get what you pay for a clean room and bed

We had a nice stay at the Locanda Antico Fiore. It was conveniently located; very close to the Sant Angelo water bus stop. It was also walking distance (under 1KM) to St. Mark's Square. Room/suite was dated, but clean and big enough for the 4 of us. Breakfast in the AM was fantastic. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Would stay there again.

Don't late check in here
Agreed by phone for a late check-in , and was received by a ghost reception , having no indications on how to check in other than the front door code. No one was at the hotel and didnt answer any phone calls. Had to call hotels.com for a solution

Good choice!
Nice and clean room, kind staff, quiet area, convenient for your stay. The only thing, the shower is a bit small for big people. Good choice anyway.

A little hard to find. Had to take bus twice because Expedia directions didn’t give water bus stop station to get off at. But that was Expedia’s fault not hotel. Cost an extra 24 Euro’s. Also Expedia should have noticed bus passes are available which would make the Venetian experience better for travelers on a budget

Great hotel but lack of elevator is annoying
We had a great experience. The room was beautiful, old fashioned design and the bathroom was nice. The only issues was the very steep staircase leading to the rooms that was very difficult to go up and down especially with suitcases. However it was only one level, so this is fine. Other than this, reception staff was lovely and the room was great.

Dissatisfied and disappointed
Was more like a bed and breakfast than a hotel. We were not informed of a charge for bringing our luggage up very steep stairs in the hotel. They even wanted to charge us more to take the luggage downstairs after we checked out. So we did it ourselves. It was difficult rolling our bags over cobble stones over a block and a half, and up and down a set of stairs, just to get there. They also charged us a local tax which we were not informed of, until after two days of staying there. Very old, cramped conditions especially the shower stall. The front of the building was very unassuming and had no signs. Fortunately, we hired a private guide and shuttle service to get us there or we would never have found it. We expected more for paying around $200 per night and would gladly pay more, next time, to stay at another nicer place.

Ideal location
We stayed here whilst visiting Venice for 3 days. The hotel is ideally located near to the water bus stop and central to the sights and attractions, Overall the hotel was clean and tidy and ideal for a short break when you're out and about all day. Staff were pleasant and helpful and we would stay here again.

This is a very small (5 rooms) hotel which is located in an excellent location. Other than that the bathroom and shower are very small ending up with water all over the floor when you shower. The T. V in the room didn't work and if you are carrying luggage get ready to climb 3 flights of narrow stairs with your bags.

Small 2 bedroom apartment, good position
Cute apartment, with comy beds. Very clean and well presented in venician style. The kitchen was tiny and no room to eat except in the hallway.it was a little noisy as a street on both sides and people would walk past throughout the night. Minimal kitchen appliances- ok for a cup of tea.

Nice Little B&B for the Price. Good Location
First trip to Venice so I decided to stay central to the San Marco area. This place is a good compromise between having a great location and paying a high price. It's pretty close to the water taxi stop at St. Angelo so that's a plus. It's run by very nice people and they offer breakfast included each morning, although I never woke up early enough to try it. This place is quite old inside and the decor is a little gaudy but they keep it really clean. Has a small fridge you can store you drinks in the room but it didn't get very cold. Went during the summer so it was hot outside, AC in the room was very welcome. This place is about a 7 minute walk to St. Marks and all the other touristy areas but far away enough that you're not overrun by tourists. They have wifi but it is so slow it's almost unusable.

3 stars because of local area
Very warm welcome and great location. Unit is very small, no living area just 2 bedrooms, tiny bathroom and compact kitchenette. Air conditioner worked for a few minutes and turned to heat. Opened windows which was nice but lots of foot traffic outside of window and mosquitoes were a problem. If you don't plan on being in the room much it's ok. Nice restaurants in the area.

nice staff good locale but stairs could be issue.
Staff were nice, clean room, and close to main boat stop (important when hauling luggage up and down stairs/walkways). No lift in hotel, which wasn't a problem for me but the stairs were VERY steep so could be issue for some and not easy with luggage (although staff helped). My room at very top floor was under sloping roof, minor inconvenience as not in the room a lot but not great if you are tallish. Despite this I thought it was nice, had character, well located and quiet.

Fantastic location.
Perfect location, very easy to walk to all the main attractions. Canal right outside our window so we spent ages watching the boats. Hotel is quirky and very Venetian and when we asked for breakfast we were told no we couldn't have it! As cafes were only a short stroll away this wasn't a problem.

Simple, old world charm.
We loved our hostess Lia! She was very sweet and very accommodating. The guest house was in a nice location and very clean. Nothing fancy. The simple decor was old world Italian and very charming. We had trouble getting good wi-fi, but that could be the case in general in Venice, not sure. The steps up to the guest house can be troublesome if you are elderly or not in good shape. Overall experience was very good and I would recommend staying here.

Nice Little Place
The Antico Fiore is more a pensione than a hotel proper - it's pretty small and only has four rooms. These are clean and attractive, and while my bathroom smelled of damp, that's hardly unusual in Venice. Everything worked perfectly well, and the faux 18th century décor was rather charming. The staff were helpful and friendly. My one criticism concerns the breakfasts I paid for. Even allowing for cultural difference, they are pretty random: a hard boiled egg, nasty machine-made coffee, various stale breads and pastries, a bit of salami, a bowl of cornflakes, a glass of cranberry juice and few slices of peach. You might want to start your day with that...I wasn't so sure. Certainly not worth paying the extra for. On the whole though, a nice little place and an enjoyable stay. One Venetian tip - keep your windows shut if you can, because there are a lot of mosquitos around and they are rather fond of biting!

Adequate but Awkward
Oye, where to begin: We wanted a "Venetian" feeling hotel and this hotel definitely had all the decor to fit the bill. The problem was it wasn't a real "hotel". There was rarely an attendant/employee at the front desk and we had no way of getting in touch with someone if needed. At all! The phone even went unanswered! And when we found someone the NEXT day, there was almost never someone who spoke passable English. (In the 3 employees we spent time with, only 1 spoke conversational English and she was the person who had the least interaction with the guests.) It's definitely an awkward B&B - our room was located directly next to the dining room - so even if we wanted to sleep in, they started serving breakfast at 8am literally 4 feet from us. The locking system for the doors were very awkward (double door, never explained how to use) - and we'd often exit hitting someone sitting directly in front of our door. Overall the rooms themselves were decent - we had a spacious suite (worth the extra money) and clean. A/c good, but the wifi was unprotected (anyone can log on; no password needed) which can be worrisome. The breakfast was decent - but they never prepared enough food, so who ever ate last got the crumbs, so to speak. The real issue we had: we wanted to arrange a tour to a Murano factory we had previously purchased from. In the past, other hotel concierges arrange a private transfer to & from the Island for a tour and purchasing time. What happened with us you may a

Power plugs protruding from the walls- had to bring it to owner's attention due to safety issues.. Steep stairs we had trouble climbing up with all the luggage. Note: (they have notice saying they encourage guests to re use their towels) . Ask for new one if u want it changed. It was bit noisy due to poor sound proof and rooms are very close to each other.

Great location in Venice
Other than being a little difficult to find (which is common in Venice), the hotel was great. The staff were helpful and friendly. They sent an e-mail asking for an approximate arrival time so that someone was available at check-in. The complimentary continental breakfast was excellent and plenty of food. The only down side is the lack of an elevator.

Nice Hotel
Reasonably priced hotel, with enough Venetian decor to satisfy my "I-want-to-feel-like-I'm-in-Venice" feeling. The room was quite nice, although it definitely tilted (we tested with a can that rolled to the corner of the room). We were checked in courteously and promptly. The host who checked us in had a large personality, and was pretty hilarious. Her directions to reach the hotel from the train station were easy to follow (she told us which waterbus to take and which stop), we had to figure out how to reach her from there, but it was simple enough (as simple as it can get in Venice). The check in desk is one flight of stairs up - the stairs are narrow and steep. Extremely tall people beware, the ceilings are short by the stairs, and we had 2 tall men in our group and one of them got a pretty good bump on the head! We definitely took the advice of previous travelers, and left our luggage at the left baggage service (train station). Overall, this hotel was great for the value (free wifi too). I definitely recommend for first timers - it's conveniently located and close to so many places. Food Tip: There's a great little sandwich shop about a 2-3 minute walk from the hotel as you are walking towards Campo S. Stefano. Their paninis were excellent!!!
