The best part about this place is the location, in my opinion. Within comfortable walking distance to the Rialto Bridge, the train station, and St Mark's square, through a very pictaresque route (although it's hard to find otherwise in Venice), but far enough away from them so as not to be swamped by tacky souvenir shops, overpriced restaurants and hordes...

I can highly recommend the little hotel "Antico Capon" on Piazza Santa Margerita, in the vicinity of Venice University. The hotel is small (which is typical for Venice), but very cosy. The owner is very helpfull and friendly. The hotel is situated in an area which is definately less touristic, with a true local atmosphere. There is a fish and... More

The Goods: It has a great location, ´cause you can go walking to everywhere (Accademia, Guggenheim, San Marcos, etc.). The Bads: The organization of the owner is awful (he decided to book an individual bed for two diferent individuals on my last night, and on my first he changed me of room without asking).

Stayed here with my class (12 students) in the end of March. This was our last stop on our interrail trip, and it was the best hostel on our journey. The hostel was clean and a big PLUS that each bedroom had its own bathroom! They had made a mistake with the rooms, so in one of our 5 people... More

The hotel was near a nice location in Campo Santa Margerita..It was not very clean but really good enough.Staff was helpfull also..

The hostel was great. The staff was very friendly and let us use their hair dryer to dry our clothes when it flooded in Venice. The room was clean and the door locked.

We stayed at Antico Capon for two nights in Sept 2009. The place was centrally located hence it wasn't too hard to find it. Upon arrival we were met by a man who seemed to exude an aura of creepiness, but friendly enough nonetheless. We were surprised to find that our room was actually in a separate ancient and crumbling... More
