January is such a great month for a Venice trip if you catch the weather... or even if you don't. I've stayed in the American Dinesen before and it never disappoints. It is worth the extra for a canal facing room - really great value out of season. To wake up in the morning after a silent night to the... More

stayed here last year on my honeymoon and everything from the breakfast to the room facing the canal was great. we landed here straight from the airport and the staff gave us a very warm welcome More

Just returned from a fabulous 4 day trip to Venice. From start to finish we loved it and will return. The weather was thick freezing fog apart from the last day when the sun shone through. This meant by mid afternoon it was very cold and lots of layers were needed. We didn't care, we had a ball. Our hotel... More

We took three long haul planes and two long haul trains to get here - and it was the perfect place to stay, rest and recouperate. Give my regards to Marco when you stay, as I know you will wantto stay. He was an excellent trip advisor and aide to have at the hotel desk. The ambience, the rooms, the... More

It was our fourth visit to the Hotel American, and it won't be our last. Everything was terrific - especially the staff. The location is close to everything but in a quiet area. We recommend this hotel to our friends as well, who have had the same excellent experience. More

It was perfect for our needs. --Space. The apartment would be good for familes or folks traveling together. However, our apartment did not really have any view to speak of.... More

Read many reviews before choosing this hotel. Good value in low season. We stayed in Room 202 and were thrilled with it. Three balconies - two facing the small canal and one facing the grand canal! It was really lovely. The Hotel had hung Christmas lights from all the balconies so it looked magical at night. The bathroom was small... More

We stayed at this hotel from November 13 until November 16. I know there are 4* hotels in Venice cheaper, but I think this one it worth all the money. Great breakfast. My wife and I stayed in a superior room on the 1st floor, on the corner, with a view over the canal. The view was fantastic, the room... More

This was my second stay at this hotel. It's location is key: away from the crowds and yet with easy access to everything. Even though we were in Venice during a very quiet time, it was great to get away from the noise and mini crowds and enter a more serene and equally beautiful part of Venice. The people working... More
