Just a hop, skip and jump away from San Marco but so very quiet. Staff is extremely helpful and all speak excellent English. Good breakfast and the rooms, though small by US standards, are more than adequate. Good value for Venice bound travelers. A couple of Rick Steves-recommended restaurants nearby. more

We stayed at al Leon for two nights, and enjoyed it very much. Very nice rooms, good european breakfast, and a terrific staff make this place a must try. It is a very short walk from San Marco, and most of the tourist areas.Easy to find, and easy to get to. Do not let this one slip by, you will... more

We stayted for a week the last week in September. The apartment is very nice, great location, grocery store right around the corner right in the middle of things. The sitting area is very comfortable, housekeeping exceptional. We save quite a bit of money by going to the local markets and having dinner at the apartment. Also, the people at... more

Having spent hours trying to find an affordable hotel room for 6 nights in Venice, I was pleased and relieved with the pleasant experience at the Locanda Al Leon. The location was great: near a vaporetto stop (and an Alilaguna stop from the airport), near St. Mark's, yet in a narrow calle that seems much further from the noisy crowds... more

A group of 12 stayed at the Al Leon for 3 nights total. We all enjoyed our stay and the best part was leaving our car at the Tronchetto and taking the the Vaporetto down the entire Grand Canel to the San Zaccaria-Pieta stop, getting off the boat and only walking three blocks with NO steps or bridges to cross... more

As my wife and I can say on the basis of more than thirty years of frequent visits to Venice, this combination of location, price, and quality is almost impossible to find there. The hotel is about 5 minutes' easy walk from Piazza San Marco but in a relatively quiet neighborhood. The management are unusually helpful. The rooms, while not... more

This past July was my fourth stay at Locanda Al Leon and Venice is a city that is hard to describe with words. For an artist, it is more of a feeling and and there is a splendid celebration of light, its many moods and how it changes the incredible facades of this unique city. I can say with great... more

The Locanda al Leon is a clean, and friendly little hotel right in back of St. Mark's Square in Venice. It is ideally located for walking to many of the famous museums and churches. Our air-conditioned room was decorated in roccoco style with Murano glass chandeliers. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was pristine. Continental breakfast is included... more

Before going there, I had many questions about Venice which I addressed to Giuliano & Marcella, the owners. The response was very prompt and encouraging. So, I was really looking forward to my stay there. It was my first time in Venice so I had no idea how narrow the lanes could be there. I missed the narrow lane of... more
