We initially booked to stay for 4 days in a lovely hotel in Cannaregio (Al Regio Canal) but unfortunately we were transferred to this dump due to refurbishments. In order to reach the hotel, we had to pass through a damp, dark and extremely narrow alleyway which stank terribly. We were shocked at the state of the hotel on arrival.... more

Having booked the Graspo de Ua before reading the personal reviews, I was very glad I did read them because it meant that I was pleasantly surprised. My daughter and I arrived late at night and had been given a Superior room on the fifth floor (no lift): we did have to carry the luggage ourselves, but on our departure,... more

The room, "a suite junior", was very very small and very expensive, also it was dirty and old, and the staff was very unfriendly and bad-mannered. All the rooms are in the hightest floors and it hasn`t elevator and it has steep and narrow stairs, and. Also I stayed 7 days in this hotel and nobody cleaned my room (the... more

Before setting off I was a little worried about finding the hotel but is was simple enough. For those of you that have yet to experience the Graspo -get off the water bus at Realto Bridge. With your back to the Canal look left no more than a few metres and you will find next to cafe a very narrow... more

We stayed at Graspo de Ua for three nights in July 2008. The rooms are small and the hotel is very small. There is no view from the windows. The breakfast room feels like an underground bunker. All of that is tolerable, but what makes us recommend that you avoid this hotel is the staff. The staff is quite unhelpful... more

I have to say, after reading the reviews, I was a bit worried and tried not to expect too much - but I was positively surprised and definitely recommend it! The receptionists were nice and helped us whenever we had a question about Venice and transport. It's true that there is no elevator but when we arrived, a servant came... more

We booked this hotel the same day we arrived in Venice. This hotel has two parts. Some of the rooms are within the same building as the front reception and there are others adjacent to this down a slightly scary narrow street with a gate that you must get buzzed in through. The room we stayed in was next to... more

Came here for a nice, romantic, weekend summer break in 2005. The hotel was hidden down a very narrow street, exactly what I wanted and expected from Venice! We arrived very late at night and it was so surreal and fun walking through all these little streets in the dark, but we found it with no problem. The hotel was... more

I'd totally agree with KS! What a fantastic surprise after all those bad reviews. We had our fingers-crossed right until we'd got to the room. We had a wonderful time at Graspo de Ua. We went to Venice in April and it rained every single day. It was so nice to have a warm cosy room with a clean, newly... more
