Stayed 4 nights in September at Hotel Fontana. The location is great, close to the water taxis, shops, and gorgeous cafes. The hotel is quiet, clean and the staff are amazing, so friendly, and helpful in arranging a variety of tours for us during our stay. The breakfast is included and they have a selection of cheeses, yogurts, breads and... more

Spent 4 nights in Hotel Fontana in July, and can't fault it too much. The rooms are basic but spacious, and look exactly like the photos. The location was the winner for us as its just minutes walk everywhere, and right beside the main vaporetto stop to travel the islands. Was a perfect base for us, especially for dropping back... more

We were pleased with our stay at Hotel Fontana. Before our trip we read reviews saying that there was no elevator in this hotel, so we were prepared to walk stairs with our luggage, but they had an elevator(we stayed on the third floor). We also got a free upgrade of our room without us asking. The room had a... more

Traveling with my wife and 10 yr old son. Given the choices available in such a tourist mecca with high priced lodging, this is a real find with good value, very little in the way of compromises. Our room for 3 was plenty big, good A/C, elevator relatively new. Bathroom by European standards was average size, small shower, but otherwise... more

We stayed at the hotel fontana for 4 nights in July, our party included myself my husband and teenage daughter, we arrived very late but had advised the hotel of this. After ringing the doorbell we were left standing outside for at least 10 minutes, once inside we were given keys to our rooms (a double on the 2nd floor... more

The location couldn't be better...a very short walk from the main St. Mark vaporetto stop. VERY important in a town without taxis. The hotel is more than OK for the price. The single room was tiny but impeccably clean. There was an elevator, and had no problems with the air conditioning. Also, the staff couldn't have been friendlier. Only faults:... more

We stayed at Hotel Fontana one each end of a Med Cruise in August. We took the express bus from the Airport to P. Roma, then a vaparetto to San Zaccaria stop. With bags on wheels it was a quick walk to the Hotel, which was easy to find. This was an easy trip and much less expensive than other... more

The Fontana Hotel by far exceeded our expectations for the price we paid and its location. Sure the room wasn't huge, but we got two ensuite doubles for the price of a triple. It was the perfect setup for us and our 8 yr old son. When my husband started snoring, I even had a spare bed to crawl into!... more

Awesome location, brilliant staff. The furniture is very "classic" and rooms have NOT been recently updated but the location and staff make up for the slightly tired decor. Well worth a visit but dont expect smart rooms, you can expect a great location and prices were very reasonable especially for summer. more
