Rooms are small but charming, cozy and CLEAN- decorated Venitian style with lots of details. Free breakfast and mingling with the owner and other travelers - very quaint! We paid a bit extra to have a window that opened to the canal – although you had to stick your head out and look down to see it. Still - that's... More

Nice hotel, with great location. OK breakfast and staff. Our room faced the small canal in front of the hotel and it was very nice to open our window in the morning and see the gondolas passing by . Venice is a very beautiful and romantic city; don't miss a change to visit it! More

Good location and friendly Italian staff. Rooms quite clean but cold. Overall impression was simply lovely! Would recommend for those who don't mind walking the steps since no elevator. More

Absolutely beautiful hotel with gorgeous water views. Open your windows and hear the gondola drivers singing and wake up to church bells chiming in the distance! The staff were so helpful and friendly. Great fresh breakfast every morning served with freshly brewed coffee. Loved our stay here!!! More

The hotel is located on a small back Alley in Venice , give yourself plenty of time to find it or get good directions. The best way we found was to ask at other hotels on the walk. Good breakfast but Small rooms but you do not spend a lot of time in the room. Very clean and good service.... More

It was easy to find from the directions provided, and our rooms were comfortable, and very clean. My room had a view over one of the smaller canals, and while yes, you had to... More

Spent 4 nights here. Chosen after reading a gzillion Venice hotel reviews over a period of several days until my eyes crossed! Al Gambero ticked all the boxes. Very central. Economical (in the Venetian sense perhaps!) when compared to other hotels in the immediate area. 3 minute walk from Rialto Bridge and 3 min walk from Piazza San Marco (on... More

Small and cosy hotel, very good service, small rooms, but great beds and silentc rooms. If you like to sleep late in the morning, then of course the city center is not the place for you, otherwise you will spend a great night. The best thing is the shower: a lot of water, perfect temperature, bathtube in good conditions... wonderful... More

There are unquestionably worse hotels. I've stayed in some of them, but you want to know: There is no lift. "Canal View" means that if you open the window, stick your head out and look down you will see a canal. You have to decide if that is worth the extra money to you. Had we known, we would not... More
