We booked San Lio through hostel world and the directions they sent us were spot on. However, when we got there, there was no one in reception, but there was a map and directions to another building, about two minutes walk away. The name outside this building was "Ca Bragadin, A Small Charming Inn". It lived up to this description.... more

This tourist house is a little gem - location was excellent - 3 mins walk from the Rialto bridge. It's very small but perfectly formed. Our room was tiny - about 2 ft each side of the bed but it had a full ensuite with a good shower, excellent fridge, free safe and TV. Not luxury but spotlessly clean and... more

Even though we booked this hotel through lastminute we were sent a very nice email and a map with directions to the hotel direct from the San Lio. They also answered my queries sent by email. When we arrived they were very pleasant and very helpful. Even though we arrived much too early, they let us choose which room we... more

Great price considering location close to Rialto, lovely staff who are very helpful and go out of their way to accommodate. Discounts on further bookings with them. Simple but great in a city like Venice where the hostel is only used as a base anyway. more

horrible small and expensive Hotel - if u don't like small rooms you should avoid staying there. Very old furnitures, dirty carpet, needs to prepaid without getting a receipt, reception closed most of the time, loud house - the only great thing was the perfect location. more

We also booked at this tourist house via hostelworld.com and was told that there were problems with the air conditioning so was shifted on to a different hotel across the piazza to a room WITHOUT air conditioning but with breakfast. We had specifically chosen air conditioning as my wife was pregnant. After some renegotiating with the new hotel it was... more

We didn't actually get to stay in this hotel!! We tried to arrange our accomodation via Hostelworld.com. Everything initially seemed ok, but then 12 hours before we were due to leave for Italy, we received an email from the hostel indicating that there was a pre-authorisation problem with our credit card. We duly contacted our credit card provider and learnt... more

This hotel has a great location, it is located very close to the Rialto bridge which once you realise the futility of having a map in Venice makes you appreciate it's location even more. The best part we found about Venice was that we could wander aimlessly for an hour or two and when we wanted to get back we... more

We actually found this place on hostel world, but it was more of a hotel than a hostel. We arrived late at night and the reception staff were so helpful - they even offered to come collect us from the boat once we arrived at the Rialto (I was very impressed). The location was excellent, perfect for siteseeing, and the... more
