They took us in when the Galleria, just down the street, would not honor our reservation. The rooms were simple but spacious, with bathrooms en suite. There is wi-fi when it works, for a fee. Breakfasts were just fine, and you can take your food into the courtyard and enjoy the morning light. Transportation from the airport is easy via... more

We loved Venice and stayed at the Don Orione after coming off the Queen Victoria cruise ship. I was looking for cheaper accommodation and checked our the monastery / convent options. Was delighted to come across this one and was sold on it as it looked so clean (and dust-free - important as my daughter has dustmite allergy), without being... more

Don't let the category religious place fool you - this is one modern hotel! They had completely renovated the place that it contains state-of-the-art lighting, fixtures, etc. I liked that the hotel is located away from the hub of things. It was quiet, very clean, and spacious. The room that was given to us (there were 3 of us) was... more

Excellent location and stay at Don Orione. The rooms are large sized and clean. No TV but this does not seem necessary in Venice! We were only two but they do seem to have a number of other size rooms - singles and family size with four beds. The location is excellent and the easiest way to arrive is from... more

It is true that the rooms are 'minimalist' - no TV, radio or other unnecessary fripperies of any kind here! - but they are spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We were with a group of friends and were probably, therefore, in the room less than usual - going out at 0930 and often not back before 2330. Breakfast was more... more

Booked based on tripadvisor and travelguide reviews and was very happy. My husband and I stayed for 2 nights in April 2008. Very clean, recently updated with simple decor. Great location, staff and price. If you are looking for simple, safe and affordable accomodations I would recommend. more

I highly recommend this centre. As a single female traveler who is transitioning from her hosteling days, I felt very fortunate to have happened upon such excellent accommodation. The centre is a clean, modern facility with a very welcoming staff and a social conscience. It is conveniently located by the Academia Bridge and is steps from the canal. I would... more

I recently stayed at this establishment for 3 nights. The room, and the entire center, was immaculate. Breakfast was provided each morning and was more than sufficient to start the day in Venezia. One outstanding feature of this religious guesthouse is its location. It is a very short walk to two vaporetto stops, Academia on the Grand Canal and Zattere.... more

In July 2007, I stayed at the Centro Culturale Don Orione Artigianelli. It was wonderful. The staff was friendly, breakfast was hearty and the location is excellent. more
