I've found everything I look for in a hotel: a great location, nice and helpful staff, reasonable price and overall confort.

My husband and I stayed one night on our way to Florence. We found it a little confusing to find the first time but as soon as we asked someone and were set on the right path we saw several signs that led us right to it. The room was huge for European standards. The room was clean and quiet, but the bathroom smelled bad. The staff and service were  […] excellent. Read more

Great hotel but a little hard to find. Away from the crowds but walking distance to everything.

Good free internet. Breakfast in the room. Good location, near the Rialto market.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great location close to Rialto bridge. Challenge to find but not too hard. Near fish market. Very friendly English speaking man at front desk. He was warm and responsive. Helpful with the area. Room was well maintained , smelled nice with new bathroom. Good breakfast was delivered to room and included. I would stay here again.

It took us an hour to find the hotel, even using the directions posted on its website. It's tucked away on a TINY side street, and hauling suitcases all over Venice trying to find it wasn't the best way to start our vacation. However, once we got there, it was very nice. It was small and no-frills, but it was clean and we had access to free wi-fi and […] breakfast in our room. The air conditioning wasn't great, but our experience was that that's par for the course in Italy. It's very close to the Rialto Bridge, which puts it in the middle of everything and quite convenient. Read more

Hotel is centrally located, close to many sites. Take Alilaguna water bus from Marco Polo airport to Rialto stop. Buy round trip ticket at the airport . Our even better order online and save even more. You can smell fish market early in the morning but only outside. Breakfast is very simple but bread and croissants are freshly baked and served hot. […] Wifi is good. AC works fine. Bed and pillows are very hard. If you can bring your own travel down pillow.

Venice is a very expensive city, and you want to enjoy it by being out most of the time visiting places. Therefore, it is not worth staying at a luxiorios hotel. The Locanda Poste is very close to the market vaporetto-stop, and about 15-20 minute walk from the San Marcos plaza. The staff is very nice and very helpful. The room is basic but in good condition. […] Breakfast is good to get you going. There many trattorias close by, which are substantially less costly than those near San Marcos. Overall, it is a good value. Read more

This was an excellent retreat from which to see Venice - we were amazed at the lack of olfactory imput from the fish market! The room wasquiet, large and comfortable and it was nice to have breakfast delivered to our room. The good airconditioning was greatly appreciated.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The entrance of the hotel is situated in a very narrow dark alley way. The lobby is smaller than a (small) bathroom. But, the room was clean and all in all it was a good stay. I'm not sure I would recommend it.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We were looking for a hotel in Venice for our honeymoon. The room was clean when we entered. The bed was firm but that wasn't an issue since we were gone all day. The hotel brought breakfast to your room which was very nice. There were many available choices for breakfast. Wifi was not available in the room, it was available in the hallway. We had a […] difficult time locating the hotel. We ended up asking 2 people where the hotel was located. It is nestled in the back of a tiny side road. The road is difficult to spot given its extremely narrow passage. The staff was very friendly and curious. They did speak English well enough. Read more

Venice is a maze of narrow streets. The hotel was very difficult to find. After buying a map, then asking 3 or 4 people, we finally found the hotel. The hotel is very nice, the room and its bathroom are bigger than any European hotel room we have stayed in.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was a little hard to find but it's in a great location. The hotel was very accommodating to us.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We are an older US couple traveling in Europe independently for 5 wks. This very small hotel is located near the Rialto Fish Market. It is very difficult to find even our GPS had difficulty. When we finally located it there was a sign on the door to telephone. It was an Italian phone number of course and due to the interference from surrounding buildings […] the call would not go through. Soon a Danish couple arrived and they were able to place the call. We were staying for two nights and had 2 small bags and one duffel. We were given room 12, FOUR floors up NO LIFT and a tiny very steep stairway agonizing and we are very athletic. The host is very nice, there is no wi-fi, breakfast is good and delivered to the room. Room 12 is a tiny attic room, there is furniture in front of the AC, the bathroom is unbelievably small and the only mirror is 12x14 inches...don't even consider make-up or hair styling Read more

we would recommend this hotel - if you want a quaint, charming, quiet, no frills stay in the heart of Venice. If you take a water taxi or the vaporetta to the rialto market stop, it is a very easy, short walk to the hotel. Nice breakfast served in the room.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Loved our stay at Locanda Poste Vecie! Mauricio made sure our time on the island was worth it. Great location. Loved being by the fish market, never smelled like fish. Breakfast was brought to our room every morning. Took the water taxi to Rialto Market and was able to find it fairly easy. Ask anyone and they will point you in the right direction. Would […] recommend to everyone! Read more

cozy. like a b&b. a little annoying that there's no elevator bc it was hard to carry luggage upstairs.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It is right in the center of Venice next to the Rialto Markets and the hotel itself is beautiful. The rooms were warm and cozy and I can't speak for the other rooms but mine was quite large. They also bring your breakfast to your door so that is quite nice if you want to ease into the day. No complaints whatsoever. A lot of people have said it was difficult […] to find but I didn't think so. I did make one wrong turn on the way there but where is the fun in traveling if you don't make a wrong turn here and there. Do yourself a favor and go to Venice and stay here. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A typical for Italy, clean, modest, SMALL room in a good location. Short walk from Rialto Bridge. Rm # 1 is very small, with about 10" between bed and wall to walk around. No counter space in bathrooms in any of the 3 hotels we stayed, and very firm mattresses with flat pillows in all 3 as well. Staff was very warm and welcoming. Manager spoke little […] English, but housekeeper spoke more which helped, and she was wonderful. Good breakfast brought to our room each morning. A/C worked but hard time keeping up with hot temps early Sept. Read more

I had a great experience here, great customer service and advice on how to get places etc he really made me and my dad feel welcome and everything was really clean. It was really close to the bridge but like everyone else said hard to find, we just asked people on the street and got there without a map! Only downside was the breakfast area outside in […] the pictures wasn't in use by this was fine since we fit breakfast delivered to the door instead. I would definitely recommend this place if you're not made I'd money. Very down to earth people not rude at all. Read more

We stayed here for two nights in August. It was one of the only affordable hotels we could find in a good location that could accommodate four people. Our room was large and comfortable, with a view of the fish market - which was closed during our time there so the room didn't smell of fish, as it might have if the market had been open. The air conditioner […] kept the room comfortably warm rather than hot. The staff were friendly and helpful and the included breakfast was very nice. The only small complaint was the shower, which tended to spray water all over the floor if it wasn't aimed the right way. The location couldn't be beat, within an easy walk to the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Square. Overall a positive experience. Read more

As others have noted, this hotel is tucked away from a main street, but having noted this, in advance we spent time with a map and found it without problems. The location is great. Breakfast was in adjoining restaurant and a very nice buffet. I would definitely stay here again!

Locanda Poste Vecie was a good choice. Pros include: 1. Excellent serice - Mauricio and his wife Papa do a great job. 2. Excellent in room breakfast 3. Clean room. The only negative we can think of was the small room we stayed in. Mauricio showed concern about that since we were a family of 4.

My friend and I checked into Laconda and were told we were going to be put into a "very nice" room, complete with laundry and kitchen. Silly us, we thought we had been upgraded. Turns out, the hotel had overbooked, and they sent us to an empty apartment down the street. This wouldnt have been so bad had the apartment been in good condition. However, […] the apartment was extremely basic, and was in no way ready for guests. There were old, used soaps in the shower from previous guests, and no hot water. We asked to be moved to the original hotel after the first night, but were told that the hotel was full. Unfortunately, we had prepaid and with tourist season in full swing (July) we had no other option but to stay. The gentleman running the place was apologetic and very nice to us, but in reality we would have preferred to just get our money back! Read more

Hotel was easy to find (as long as you print directions from the website) and our room was a decent size (although we were told we got a free upgrade). BUT... the worse smelling hotel EVER! I woke up at night and felt sick to my stomach. I never figured out what it was but our room faced the fish market, which is right around the corner... so maybe […] the smell just stayed around? Not really sure but it was terrible. The bathroom was dirty as well. Not happy with our stay but have read other reviews and we thought the staff was very friendly and nice... just not sure how they stand the terrible smell. Read more

This hotel is located in a square and is very easy to locate. They have a local garage that they park your car in (for a fee) and retrieve when you need it. The staff was great, they even waited outside for my car when the garage was running late. Room was clean and breakfast was very nice. Location is 5 minutes from David, 5 minutes from train, and […] 10 minutes from town center. Everything was very close and easy to find. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Read more

Wonderful little hotel in the middle of not so touristy neighborhood, relatively near (8 min walk) from the Rialto bridge. The hotel includes a contiental breakfast, which was quite nice, and the hotel staff was helpful, friendly, and very accomodating. The room was quaint and very historic.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is an easy 5 minute walk from the train station. It costs 6 Euros for a round trip, 30-40 minute train ride, right into Venice. It is so much more relaxing than trying to maneuver the waterbus and luggage over bridges and cobblestones. Plus its a wonderful, beautiful little town. The hotel itself is very Italian, with a lift big enough for […] 1 person and a suitcase. The room was clean, the bathroom modern. The included breakfast buffet is amazing. Pastries, breads, tons of fresh fruit choices, Greek yogurt, a variety of cheeses, 3 or 4 Italian meats, hard boiled eggs and a variety of cereals. There is cold juices, milk, and tons of coffees and tea choices. The room has dark woods and white linens overlooking a lovely colorful little garden. There is a free internet computer up front and a lovely little restaurant that had a good selection and amazing prices. You take the number 5 bus from the airport into Venice ( 10-15 minutes) and the train station is 5 minutes to the right...so it is easy access for first time travelers who don;t know their way around. Its also good for the budget conscious. The ONLY thing I did not like had to do with walking past an African community center, between the train station and hotel as there were about 15-20 young men in mid 20's hanging out there in the early evening. I could have walked on the other side of the street had I known it was there. Read more

The only thing that was good about this hotel was the excellent location. This hotel seriously needs to give better directions from the train station. It is impossible to find. We only found the hotel after two hours of wandering around with our luggage, and asking about ten different people. Although the location is very close to the Rialto Bridge, […] it is also right next to the fish market, so it smells terrible all day long, every day. The breakfast was pretty awful. Only one croissant and some cereal. The hotel staff was not friendly at all. In fact, they were rarely ever there. Nobody was ever at the front desk, and they would simply leave all of the keys stacked on the counter for anyone in Venice to come grab if they so desired. During our stay, I had a family member urgently need to get in touch with me and he had to call the hotel more than ten times to finally have somebody answer. When he did finally receive an answer, he was hung up on. Apart from the good location and the free internet, I was not at all impressed with this hotel and I would not recommend it. Read more

the hotel is off an alley off an alley that begins off to the side of a larger alley. Everything in Venice is hard to find, but this place was well hidden. Get very good directions from the hotel. You should be ok if you start at the Fish Market.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was very convenient in Venice. things are quite expensive there so we didn't expect a lot for the money. the worst feature was noise outside the window and smoke of others drifing into our room requiring us to close window. But that is Italy. Coffee was atrocious for Italy - expected far better there. Otherwise no complaints. Convenient location […] was it's best asset and what we were looking for. It was safe and generally clean. Read more

We selected this hotel for our anniversary getaway to Venice based upon online reviews. What we expected was a basic hotel, with a clean, comfortable room in a great location. That's exactly what we got. The room was spacious by European standards (we had a double) and, thankfully, the air conditioner worked great - as we were in Venice the hottest […] few days of the year. The hotel is located within a few minutes walk from the Rialto bridge, so we were close to everything in Venice. It was hard to find the hotel because it was tucked down an alley that was about 30 inches wide. Venice is expensive, so we preferred to spend a little less on a hotel and more on food and shopping. For the money, this hotel was a fantastic find. We would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun vacation in Venice. We woudn't call it a luxury hotel, but definitely comfortable enough for a nice stay. Read more

We lost when trying to find this hotel. A local gentleman helped us locate it. We could never find it on our own because the entrance is hidden behind a narrow alley. The hotel is decent, and the room is clean. My teenage daughter liked the deco in the room. It is very close to the famous Rialto Bridge. So once you located it, you know how to get back […] to it. In the next morning, I walked to the vegetable+fruit market and fish market, by just crossing the bridge that next to the hotel. Read more

Good hotel for the price in an interesting and varied Rialto location. Maurizio was very jolly and gave us the twin room we requested with a canal view. Breakfast in the bedroom was good, much better than a 4 star hotel we stayed in in St.Marks later in the week.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was tucked away down two tiny lanes so it was difficult to find when we first arrived but it soon became a peaceful and comfortable refuge during our time in Venice. We were very close to the Rialto Market and Rialto Bridge but felt like we were a world away at the end of each hectic day. The staff were great during the challenging "Acqua […] Alta" conditions - very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and attractive with a canal view and a generous, tasty breakfast was delivered to our room each morning. Read more

Great little place, but as the rest of Europe, hard beds, hard pillows...and a long way from the Rialto bridge when dragging luggage around. Typical of Europe...poor signage. Dragged our luggage off the plane to the boat taxi, which stopped about a half a mile from the Hotel which is tucked far off the beaten path. If you want to be in the heart of […] Venice, this is the place, great breakfast, safe, clean, quiet and friendly. Loved it, but too far from the water taxi....especially after a long international flight. Have internet, but very poor service. Would be great for back packers, but way too costly.. Read more
