Home of the Rialto Market, San Polo is the busiest 'sestiere' (district) after San Marco. For local colour, great little shops, bars and cafes, the Rialto market area is a must. Dining on the Grand Canal next to the iconic Rialto Bridge is a romantic Venetian cliché. Near the bridge, the Ca' Pesaro is home to the Museum of Modern Art while 16th-century masterpieces are on show at the Frari church and Scuola Grande di San Rocco.

We took the cheapest room and it was the cheapest of any of the hotels I could find. As expected, the room was tiny but had the amenities including a tv. Everything worked. The best part was the location only a few steps from the main canal. I would recommend this hotel based on the value.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Second time at this hotel. Perfect location within 15 minutes walking to most areas in Venice. A little noisy at times. Old Venice charm.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Hotel Locanda Ovidius - 3 Star Hotel at 5 Star $"
This was a nice hotel in a great location. Yes, Venice is expensive - however for the price we paid for this hotel, it would have been much nicer if the bathroom was more usable. There was no water pressure in the shower, which is a good thing because there was no shower curtain or even the half glass that you sometimes see in a European hotel. The […] staff was nice and friendly but not overlly helpful. However, they did let us check in a few hours before posted check-in time. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"great location! back in time experience :)"
the hotel is located next to one of the bridges over the canal , this make it easy to cross it and walk around the center of Venice. the room that we got for 250 US was the smallest one we stayed in while visiting Italy. however the room was very clean the breakfast was also very limited and from the cheapest non fresh products. they charge you if you […] want a Cappuccino or espresso .

"Hotel Locanda Ovidius - PERFECT Location"
If you are looking for a hotel that is in the center of everything, this is the place for you. Perfect location close to the Rialto Bridge overlooking the Grand Canal. Easy walk to St. Mark's Square. Loved sitting out on the balcony at night just watching the goings on outside. Our room was a good size and clean with a nice view of a side residential […] street; however, it was quite noisy in the morning from an early hour on. Staff was helpful when asked for information but not overly friendly. The hairdryer was broken in our room. We brought it to the attention of three different front desk staff but it was never fixed during our stay. The continental breakfast was not very good at all - packaged croissants, warm milk for cereal, etc. Overall though we really enjoyed our stay - the awesome location and nice, clean room made up for some of the minor issues we encountered. Would definitely recommend. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very pleased with my stay at Hotel Locanda Ovidius"
I stayed at this hotel for one evening this past June during the middle of tourist season. I greatly enjoyed the hotels staff, the hotel's location and my room's view. The lowdown: The part of the hotel where I stayed did not have an elevator. However, my stay here was at the beginning of my trip, so carrying my bags up the stairs wasn't so bad. The […] hotel did have internet but I wasn't there long enough to use it. But I think it was five Euro's for a certain amount of time. Being close to the Rialto Bridge was huge because it made finding our hotel easy after getting lost several times wandering through the streets and canal ways of Venice. My Italian was terrible, but all I had to do was ask somebody "Rialto Bridge" and I could get pointed in the right direction. This hotel took both Italian two-prong and European three-pong power adapters. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Locanda Ovidiuson theVenice Grand Canal"
What a wonderful little (18 room) hotel in a super great & central location! We were very charmed by the multi-lingual Luccia at the front desk and all the staff was nice. Our "upgrade" room (Rm 203) had a comfy bed, charming street view and traditional Venician chandelier - but a terribly tacky picture on the wall. The newly re-done all-tile bathroom […] with bidet & whirlpool tub would have been wonderful had there been some kind of shower curtain on it (I was assured it's in the plans). The included basic breakfast is nothing special (toast, ham, yogurt, juiice) but the coffee is good and breakfast room has a spectacular view of the busy Grand Canal. Definitely check out the Black Cat bar at the far end of the street with one euro glasses of wine! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

You pay for the location. It is literally on the grand canal, and you can look over the famous bridge from your hotel. It is an old hotel however, and our room was on the next building without an elevator. Thankfully, our room was on the second floor, but if you book a cheapest room, be ready to carry your suitcases. Rooms were pretty nice, though again, […] it is pretty old. Some stains on the carpet and wall, but nothing we can't live with (especially for a few days of stay). Breakfast was included, but the worst coffee and croissant we've ever had (probably instant and packaged croissant.). The only thing we could tolerate eating was yogurt. Don't count on it. The owners were extremely nice, and told us about local places to eat. Surrounding area is extremely touristy, so it was hard to find places where locals eat. Very helpful. If we were ever to go back, however, we might look for somewhere not on the canal and a bit cheaper. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel Locanda Ovidius"
What a great place! Right on the Grand Canal in view of the Rialto Bridge. The internet reception was not the best, but made up for by the wonderful and helpful staff. They were the friendliest we have seen on our stay in Italy. The common rooms on each floor had great balconies with canal views and the breakfast was very good.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Hotel - Great Price"
Exactly what we needed - with a great view. The only thing that was lacking was the quality of the breakfast, but it is a 3 star hotel - if we wanted something fancier, we would have paid for a higher star rating. Employees were very nice, and always ready to help.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Beautiful hotel on the Grand Canal"
This hotel made me feel like a first class traveler on a middle class budget. The hotel room was full of antiques and the staff was wonderful. It had a balconey on the canal.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Best hotel choice I ever made"
The hotel is located on the Grand Canal, just steps away from Rialto Bridge and the market, and 5-10 minutes away from Piazza San Marco. The train station is 10 minutes away by waterbus. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, the room was a little small but beatifuly furnished, air conditioned, and the bathroom was newly renovated. The breakfast […] was plentiful and served in a salon with a view to the grand canal. If we ever go back to Venice this hotel would definitely be our first choice.

Nice hotel, not fancy but acceptable. Typical small room. Hotel has a balcony facing grand canal which is a nice ammenity. can see the rialto bridge! Also location is good. easy walk to St. marks, and vaporetto stops very close. would recommend.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Location but thats all. Should be 1 star."
The Hotel is in a fantastic location. Thats where the positives end though. Considering the price it would be one of the worst hotels I`ve seen. Old box TV, old uncomfortable bed, patched up walls, shower door fell off, shower head fell off, unhelpful staff, ordinary breakfast, very noisy. Wouldn`t stay there again and hard to recommend. Very disappointing […] but will provide a few laughs when we think back in a few years time. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"locanda oviduis-good location"
The hotel is just ok really, the location is the main plus point. Its nice that its a small more independent hotel not a chain, but i really felt that for the price, it should offer more all round. The room was fine! Although supposed to be a double superior so i wouldnt like to see a normal double. The buffet was a bit poor, but you are near a lot […] of cafes and bars, not on the water front, but some great ones around near the fish market. Its tricky as i expect that all hotels in venice are overpriced, and due to the nature of my work i am lucky enough to stay in alot of hotels in different couontries, which is why i expected more i think. Ultimately although there was nothing fundamentally wrong and the location is great, i wouldnt stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"VERY SUITABLE PLACE"
PRICE WAS NOT CHEAP, HOSPITALITY WAS NOT THAT GREAT, CLEARNESS WAS NOT THE BEST, BUT THE LOCATION CAN COVER THESE BECAUSE IT'S NEXT TO RIALTO AND AIRPORT BOART STOP. YOU CAN ALSO BE GETTING GREAT VIEW IF YOU PAY MORE.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel on the Grand Canal"
Great location within 100 meters of the Rialto Bridge. Its not a five star but for there was value for the money. Unless you're willing on spending $1,200/night you are not going to get luxury.

"Hotel Locanda Ovidius - Venice"
The Hotel is located very close to the Rialto Bridge and has a first floor lounge with a small balcony overlooking the Grand Canal. Staying at the Hotel captures the atmoshere of Venice and sitting on the balcony at night watching the water traffic is magical. The staff are very friendly and helpful. When we were there the Hotel was undertaking some […] building renovations but this did not disturb us. We didn't expect to be so close to the Grand Canal for he money we paid for the Hotel.

"Hotel Locanda Ovidius"
I was extremely surprised about the easy of locating this hotel .Vaporetto stop San Silvestro is the closest to the hotel though Rialto was as close but a battle over the Rialto Bridge which was packed all hours of the day in August. The hotel was minutes from Rialto Bridge and on the Grand Canal. I could not have ask for a better position. The staff […] was very friendly and the room was serviced regularly if not daily. All in all I enjoyed my stay in this hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location"
This hotel was gem. Perfect location to see Venice. Room was great with very modern bathroom. Walls of room were covered in fabric and the ceiling light was murano glass. Our window looked out onto a lane. The breakfast room looked onto the grand cannal and had a veranda that you could go out onto and watch all the traffic. We came here in the evening […] with a drink and watched all the activity. We found a coop market on the way to st marks square so it was quite convient for snacks etc. Breakfasts were the norm for Italy except they did not have cheese other than those "cheese" triangles and crosiants were in plastic packaging. Coffee was drip but they would make you a cappacino if you asked. Overall i loved this hotel, as the location and services provided for the money were excellent and it enhanced our venenitan experience. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Venetian jewel"
Super little hotel overlooking the Grand Canal, a stone's throw from the Rialto Bridge. Location could not have been much better. Wonderful, friendly and always helpful reception. We checked in a bit early with no problem. Elegant bijou bedroom and compact bathroom. Not much elbow room anywhere - especially in the shower! Breakfast OK, but what a view […] - watching the fascinating canal traffic. Like everyone else I expect, we got off our vaporetto at Rialto, then had to lug our cases over the bridge. Then we discovered the Rialto Market stop, on the correct side of the canal, and just 5 minutes 'stair free' to/from the hotel. There's another useful stop, the same side but the other way, and a handy traghetto near there and another near the market, to save fighting the crowds across the bridge. Useful free luggage storage on last day. We even got back a bit early to say goodbye and thank you to our favourite receptionist. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great view of the Rialto Bridge"
This hotel was in a great location for us. Close to the S Silvestri vaporetto stop. We had trouble finding it but I think that is the way of Venice and the crap map we purchased. We had an excellent view of the Grand Canal and the Rialto bridge from our room. This is devine but noisy, especially around dawn as the restuarants below have their supplies […] delivered. Rooms at the back wouldn't have this issue but no view either. Our room was huge as was the bath room. Generally the condition was good but a little run down. The paint on the walls was quite heavily oxidised and I got this on my clothes from brushing against it...just a nuisance..not the end of the world. Breakfast was adequate, reasonable choice just not a good as others we have had. The dining room had nice views but was tiny (maybe 5 tables) meaning not everyone could be seated. Some had to come back later. I would stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is pretty good. We had a big room at the back overlooking a quiet street - staff are helpful. Very near Rialto bridge, pleasant walk to San Marco. The area outside hotel is extremely touristy (ridiculously expensive food). But it's a good base from which to move out and explore Venice's sights. Also close to boats to and from the Marco Polo […] airport. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is a fantastic location right near where you need to be with easy access from the airport. Arrive by boat and get off at Rialto. Beautiful breakfast room overlooking the Grand Canal. Really friendly staff who were very helpful. Room was a lovely Venetian style and quite adequate for what we needed. Only criticism (and I'm scraping the barrel) […] was the pillows were flat and the shower wasn't fantastic - although did the job. Breakfast was basic with croissants, toast, cereal and yoghurt but the view was amazing and lovely to sit and start the day watching the world go by. Very good value.

"Muy bien ubicado y una excelente atención."
Fuimos con mi señora, es un hotel pequeño muy cerca del puente Rialto y 5 a 10 minutos caminando de la Plaza San Marcos. El personal que atiende es muy acogedor y hay una recepcionista que habla muy bien el español. A 3 cuadras sin escaleras de la parada Rialto Mercato del Vaporetto, por lo que se puede llegar desde la estación Santa Lucía con maletas […] grandes (con ruedas). La decoración es como la muestran en las fotos, muy romántica. Hay algunas habitaciones que dan al Gran Canal. El desayuno lo tomas admirando el Gran Canal y su movimiento.Desde el hotel a la estación Santa Lucía son 30 a 45 minutos caminando. Lo recomiendo... Estuvimos una noche, sin embargo viajabamos al otro día tarde a Roma vía tren. Entregamos la habitación, nos cuidaron las maletas y nos dejaron ocupar una sala de estar, muy amplia y bonita, con servicio de baño y ducha si lo necesitabamos, antes de partir.... gente muy amable y acogedora nosotros volveremos.

"Superbe hôtel calme à 2 pas des lieux à visiter"
J'y retournerai sûrement. Accueil super sympa. Possibilité de laisser sa valise en arrivant et en attendant sa chambre. Si vous n'avez pas votre chambre tout de suite, ils proposent une chambre avec douche, wc, pour vous rafraichir (idem lors de votre départ). L'hôtel est idéalement situé près du pont Rialto et toute son animation. N'hésitez pas à aller […] manger sur une terrasse en face de l'hôtel. Sans doute très "touristique" mais très bon à un prix très compétitif. Sinon, plus romantique, en sortant de l'hôtel, prenez à gauche et encore à gauche. Un petit resto très sympa se trouve plus loin sur votre droite, au coin d'une petite place (génial). Allez manger un melon jambon de parme avec un petit vin blanc italien dans le quartier de l'Academia (très calme, en dehors des circuits touristiques classiques) dans la Fondamenta Bragadin au début de cette "route", à gauche en venant de la Calle de la Chiesa. En face il y 2 gondoliers. n'hésitez pas à prendre une gondole là, loin des embouteillages du pont des Soupirs !! Vous en aurez pour votre argent. Dans le même quartier, allez voir le musée Guggelheim pour ses peintures mais aussi sa terrasse le long du Grand Canal !! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Greit nok"
Hotellrommet var så lite at det føltes klaustrofobisk av å være der. Det var nesten ikke mulig å åpne vinduene, så vi fikk ikke dagslys inne på rommet slik at vi kunne "kle oss etter været." Da måtte vi først gå ut å sjekke før vi kunne gå tilbake å evt bytte klær. Det var heller ikke internett på rommet så vi måtte sitte ute i en felles stue, noe som […] er litt ubehagelig hvis en skal sjekke nettbank. Personalet var OK, men de begynte å mase på når vi skulle reise dagen før utsjekk, enda utsjekk var kl 11.00 dagen etter. Vi ble spurt 3 ganger om dette i løpet av kort tid, så vi følte oss nesten uønsket. Ellers var beligenheten veldig bra, men det lønner seg IKKE å ta et rimelig rom på dette hotellet pga størrelsen på rommet du da får. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Hotel Ovidius di Venezia - posizione OTTIMA!"
L'hotel ovidius è situato in posizione ottima. Comodissimo per spostarsi nei luoghi di interesse di tutta la laguna. Posizionato a meno di 100 metri dal ponte di Rialto, uno dei punti più belli di Venezia.Essendo situato nel cuore di venezia e in posizione centralissima, è facile raggiungere tutte le mete e le estremità in pochi minuti. Le camere sono […] bellissime, consiglio le superior molto spaziose e ben arredate. Per chi avesse qualche soldo in più le superior con vista offrono un'atmosfera molto romantica, oltre ad essere veramente belle e spaziose. Bagni bellissimi e spaziosi e vasca idromassaggio per rilassarsi dopo lunghe passeggiate. Da non trascurare l'eccellente pulizia degna veramente di un 10 e LODE. Nel complesso io e la mia ragazza siamo rimasti sbalorditi per la calda accoglienza e la gentilezza di tutto il personale. Che dire di più, siamo contenti di aver fatto una vacanza a 5 stelle in un hotel bellissimo e dai prezzi contenuti in base al servizio offerto. Rapporto qualità/ prezzo al TOP! Dimenticavo di dire che più che un 3 stelle sembrerebbe essere un eccellente 4 stelle! Penso veramente sia difficile trovare di meglio. A presto, grazie.
