Locanda Herion - Venice

We stayed in mid-October of this year (2012). The temp was cool, and the room comfortable. The air condition worked well on the one warmer day. Owners are very nice, and run a smooth business. It's a friendly hotel with a nice breakfast of coffees, teas, fruits, rolls, croissants, jams, yogurt, cereal, and little breakfast cookies. Our room faced inside […] as we had requested, so it was quiet, over- looking a small terrace patio. As I recall, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom small, but clean and very adequate. Again, the owners were very kind and friendly, which always makes a stay so much more pleasant.I've stayed in Venice in other locations. Locanda Herion is relatively close to the train station, within very easy walking distance. With smaller bags, it is simple to walk to and from the station on arrival and departing. Also, the city is not large, so walking anywhere else is also easy and delightful. We would recommend the hotel for its amenities, kind owners, breakfasts, comfort, price and location. Read more

Hotel was convenient to train station, although a bit hard to find unless you ask for directions. Easy walking distance to everywhere else. Wifi only worked in the main lobby. Breakfast was typical Italian hotel breakfast. Found it odd that there were so many locked doors to go through, made us a little suspicious of the area.

Very nice hotel in a great neighborhood. Little hard to find as there is no sign out front. It doesn't look like much from the outside but was very pleasant inside. The staff was very friendly and very helpful!!! The breakfast was simple, but plentiful. They had a nice little garden courtyard where you could eat outside. Enjoyed our stay and would definitely […] stay there again if in Venice. Read more

We were only in Venice a short time but the hotel lent to the experience. Good location, walking distance to the train station, just off the main street and near a boat-bus (Vaperetto) landing. Walked to non-tourist area for dinner which was nice. We would definately stay here again.

The staff is friendly and very helpful. Rooms are big and comfy, and the hotel is very clean. Located in a busy area near the train station, but it is off the busy street and very quiet and easy to get to. We loved staying here.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

There is no sign on the street even after you turn to the correct street by accident there is to hotel sign on the building or even at the door, good luck finding this hotel. Staff is helpful, break fast compare to other hotels that I stayed in Italy it is just okay. Room location was not good nest to breakfast area lots on noise in the morning and […] no window it was dark. Read more

Had a wonderful stay here sept 8th 2012 thru sept 12th 2012. The staff was very friendly and spoke english which is great since me and my girlfriend do not speak Italian. Our rooms were clean and the a/c worked great. Our bed was consisted of two twin beds put together but it was comfortable none the less. the room is not very large but that is the […] standard in italy. The bathroom and shower are small but do the job. It is in a great location that is very close to a waterbus stop and is within close walking distance to the train station. I would absolutely stay here again if we visit venice in the future. Read more

The manager was friendly and helpful in directing us to local places to eat. The breakfast was basic but it suited our needs. The hotel location was convenient - a 5-10 minute walk from the train station and just off a main street. Our room just off the lobby and we could clearly hear people coming and going, which woke us up at night.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We chose the hotel based on customer reviews, price, and walking distance from the Piazzale Roma. The walk was about 10-15 minutes, but there's not sign at the hotel's entrance, so be sure to have the address on your walking directions! The staff was friendly and helpful, as other reviews stated, and the location, off the main street was great. Our […] disappointment was in the size of the room. It was literally barely larger than the size of the bed. I know that rooms in Venice tend to be small, but this was ridiculous. We were there for only one night before a cruise or we would have asked to be moved. Read more

The hotel and staff were delightful. My room was pretty and quiet & looked over the breakfast atrium. Check-in was smooth and quick.....really great after a trans-Atlantic flight. The continental breakfast was adequate and the atmosphere cheerful and sunny. Hotel.com was a great help in finding such a conveniently located haven. Thanks!

Near Venice waterway, San Marcuola Centre stop. Near fruits market stalls and small tourist shops. Very easy and short distance to catch the #1 Water Shuttle Bus (7 euros) to Bus Station, where guests could catch Airport Shuttle Bus (7 euros) to Tresvio and Marco Polo airports. Short distance to wheel suitcases from/to hotel on lined copperstone streets. […] Hotel managed by Andrea who is extremely friendly, helpful with sightseeing and transportation information, and runs hotel operation, 24/7. Small hotel, with 3 levels, no elevator. Just handicapped chair lift on side of wall... don't know if workable, or not. Andrea said he buys fresh pastries daily before 8:15AM at local bakeries. Set patio tables & chairs with cups and saucers. Nicely done in relaxing atmosphere in patio. Coffee, cereals, crackers, tea, fresh fruits, juice for 8:30AM breakfast. Nicely set Excellent service. I had a room on top level with air conditioning, over looking into patio from atop. Very roomy with private shower. No soap, or shampoo, just towels. Read more

Clean, spacious room with a comfortable bed and a relatively large bathroom with shower, tasty breakfast including cereal, fruit, yoghurts, croissants,... but most of all very friendly and welcoming staff, eager to help with directions or keeping our luggage safe during a long walk after check-out. Would definitely not hesitate to stay there again and […] already have recommended to friends! Positives: - Very friendly and welcoming staff speaking fluent English - Tasty breakfast on the terrace - Spacious room with comfortable bed, cleaned and towels changed every day - Convenient location (walking distance to the railway station or the Rialto Bridge and a few steps away from the S. Marcuola waterbus stop) - Powerful, adjustable air-conditioning Negatives: - Little mold on the walls of the shower box - No WiFi reception (anyway, it would have not been free of charge - few restaurants nearby with free WiFi though) Read more

Great value for the room price. We added an extra person in our room for no extra charge. Very friendly staff, decent breakfast. Excellent location for going out, close to vaporetto stop, 10-min walk to train station.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Off the busy street but very quiet, peaceful little hotel in historical building, very much fits the image of Venezia. Staff very pleasant and helpful. So sorry for us to stay there only 2 nights. Very easy walk from train station, just a few minute to vaporetto. It was a perfect stay!

Nice hotel, good location close to Santa Lucia train station, room very clean, larger than expect it, friendly staff, small hotel in good condition. My only complain is that I booked this hotel also for free internet access but it was not free.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was clean and the staff were very nice. There were a lot of good restaurants and shops nearby, but the area was much less crowded than some parts of Venice. The only problem with the room was that our King-sized bed was really two twins pushed together so the middle wasn't very comfortable

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was easy to find and navigate to and from. Within walking distance of all of Venice. A great place to stay if you're going on or coming back from a cruise. It's a little bit of a walk, but the hotel rooms are nice. Staff and breakfast was wonderful. The air conditioned room was clean and a good size.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Location was perfect,not to far from train and bus station.Staff was great and very helpful.The hotel needs to do a better job with the cleaning of the rooms.Overall we had a great stay.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Breakfast was to included in the price of the hotel, but we left early and they were gracious to give us a little take away meal. It was not much but it was probably as good as what we would get if we ate at the hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is close to the train station in quietest neiborhood of Venice. The room was decent in size, the bathroom was clean and well provisioned with a nice shower. The bed was excellent, firm yet soft top, which is big in Italy. The Hotel staff was excellent and very helpful and the breakfast had many choices. This is a highly recommended small Hotel. […] There was no elevator to the second floor for those with huge suitcases. Read more

To begin this rating is compared to a 5-star hotel room. For the price, it was a nice place to stay. Compared to most other European hotels, the rooms were quite large and plenty of room for baggage. The location of the hotel was nice as well, being on the "main street" that loops around Venice made things easy. The staff working there were all very […] nice helped out a lot. The only downfalls were no hot water on our second morning, first morning was fine. This lasted for at least 2 hours then we had to leave (no idea when it came back on), we had to checkout without taking a shower. Also, the wi-fi only worked downstairs in the lobby and you are only allowed 2 hours free, anything after that is 5 euro per hour. Breakfast was small, breads, jam, cereal, and yougurt, but a good coffee machine! All in all, nice place at a decent price during Carnivale. Read more

Great location! We felt our room was large by Europeon standards and again the location was perfect. We were able to walk to everything...nothing was more than a 10 to 20 minute walk. There were restaurants, grocery stores and everything you might need within a block of the hotel. The staff was great and very helpful with all of our questions. I would […] definitely stay here again. Read more

It was a lovely small hotel with a very helpful gentleman at the front desk. The proximity to all shops and restaurants was outstanding. It was an ideal location for our one night stay.

MY HUSBAND AND I RECENTLY SPENT 5 DAYS IN VENICE AT THE LOCANDA HERION. ANNA, HER BROTHER AND STAFF MADE OUR STAY IN VENICE FABULOUS. WE FELT WE WERE VISITING FAMILY. ANNA HELPED US WITH RECOMMENDATIONS OF PLACES NOT TO MISS AND RESTAURANTS THAT WERE AFFORDABLE WITH DELICIOUS FOOD. SHE PRINTED OUR AIRLINE PASSES FOR US AND WE ENJOYED THE DAILY CONVERSATIONS […] WE HAD WITH HER. THE HOTEL IS HARD TO FIND DUE TO SIGN RESTRICTIONS IN VENICE, BUT SO WORTH THE EFFORT. IT IS CHARMING AND QUIET AND VERY CLOSE TO A VAPERETTO STOP ON THE GRAND CANAL. IT IS LITERALLY A 10 MINUTE WALK FROM ST. LUCIA TRAIN STATION. THE CANNAREGIO IS GREAT LOCATION AND YOU ARE NOT BOMBARDED WITH CROWDS LIKE IN OTHER PLACES. WE LOOK FORWARD TO RETURNING TO VENICE AND STAYING LONGER WITH ANNA. Read more

Room was fine, but the hotel was difficult to locate: only a small name plate on the front door. The TV in the room was not connected properly and it took some effort to reconnect it so that it would work. The location was fine. The price seemed high, but reasonable for other prices in Venice this year.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

You can't tell a thing about the hotel from the outside. Including where it is at! It's stuck in the corner in a building behind one of the main streets. The address is no help & the little bitty sign on the door is not helpful either. But once inside we found the hotel to be nice & the staff helpful. Our room had a balcony and was a really good size. […] The bed was really comfortable. The breakfast was a slim selection but we found it to be sufficient. It was weird there is no hotel staff at night. The only bad thing was there was mold in the shower. Perhaps a tough problem for the humid climate? Read more

This is never a 3* hotel but having said that it appears hotels in Venice are of similar standard. Room very small and dingy but clean. You get what you pay for!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

From the outside, it simply looks like another house, wouldn't have guessed there was a hotel there without the signs. However, its what is on the inside that counts. The hotel owner was extremely friendly and accommodating, and helped point out the main attractions of venice as well as the more hidden venice locations. The rooms were very spacious […] and well kept, and the location of the hotel is excellent, just off the main road and about 3 minutes walk from a water taxi stop. I would totally recommend staying here, and if i should ever return to Venice i will most certainly be booking here again! Read more

We really enjoyed our visit to Venice - before the high tides - and a great deal of that was due to the wonderful people who took care of us at Locanda Herion. If we ever return to Venice we will want to stay there again.

Pretty good overall but didn't get the double twin bed I specified. Breakfast was free and pretty decent. Has an overhead terrace to use which is a nice touch. It was hard to find but there is a small sign to it.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed here for 2 nights at the end of a cruise. The owner was extremely helpful and accommodating. He gave us suggestions on the best things to see with just a couple of days in Venice, even telling us what were "tourist traps". The location is great; basically central Venice, but just a 2 minute walk to a water bus stop. It is just short distance […] from a main tourist walk so there is lots of stores and restaurants near by. A continental breakfast was provided in the outdoor courtyard. There was also a private terrace with a bench and a couple of café tables for an evening drink. Overall it was very quiet and pleasant. Read more

The room was large and clean. fairly narrow Staircase that might be a problem for some guests. Double bed was 2 single beds put together so a little separation in the middle. Staff was very helpful and reponsive to any requests. Only 10 minute walk to the train station. Very good value.

The Locanda Herion is a home away from home! Very well managed by an Italian husband and Russian wife. They are a very helpful and charming couple who make your stay an extremely pleasant one. Difficult to surpass this venue if staying in Venice!!
