Hotel al Piave

The staff is super friendly! The hotel is close to everything. Thank you David for your restaurant recommendations.

Stayed Saturday 22nd September after coming off a 7 night cruise. Watched a YOUTUBE video showing exactly what vaporetto (water taxi) stop to get off at, S. zacharria, and the hotel was very easy to find, about a 10 minute walk over 2 bridges, in the other direction, the hotel was a five minute walk from Rialto bridge, but a bit windier and trickier to get to, we took a wrong turn and ended up where we started, doing a complete loop. The hotel was easy to find, and the owner who checked us in was extremely polite and friendly. We were in room 109, a room completely renovated, had beautiful furnishings, very comfortable bed, kettle with cups, and tea and sugar, no coffee, and when I went over to reception, I asked for some milk, and the owners son was very obliging. There was complimentary buffet breakfast which was plentiful and included hot scrambled eggs, sausages, toast, cereal, pastries, yoghurt, fruit, cold meats and ham, and the biggest surprise was small little freshly baked pizza dough with cheese, went down a treat, also juice, tea and coffee. The hotel is very central and we were very happy with the price paid, and we also had free WIFI. The area around the hotel was full of alleyways with shops, restaurants, ice cream parlours etc, so quaint and bustling with activity. Our room was lovely and quiet, had a very comfortable nights sleep, and a great stay overall, will definitely return for sure.

We had a great time the staff were friendly and helpfull, they assisted us with all our requests. We were upgraded to a larger room hitch was clean and comfy. Breakfast was good. Would recommend to family and friends. The hotel is a bit hard to find but I think getting lost in Venice is part of its charm.

Stayed at the Hotel al Piave for 5 nights in May 2018. I found that it was well-located with only a few minutes walk to San Marco and vaporetto, or taxi pickup at Campo St. Formosa. The front desk was very accommodating and helpful on restaurants, tours, info etc. Everyone spoke good English. We found local restaurants and café/bars that were excellent. Our room was very comfortable and nicely updated. The room was cleaned beautifully: the whole place was spotless. Great bathroom/shower, safe, teapot, heated towel bar, excellent lighting (a makeup mirror!), mini bar, hair dryer, lots of outlets, and TV. Comfortable bed and excellent remote-controlled heating/AC unit. I have never heard an AC unit that was so quiet; really nice. Straightforward Italian hotel breakfast was included with bread, meat, fruit, juice, yogurt, cereal, pastry, scrambled eggs and coffee made to order. Nice dining area (lots of interesting art!) and service. Our room was amazingly quiet, especially considering there were apartments nearby too. Nice security with two locked doors in addition to our room door. But the area felt very comfortable anyway. There are helpful video directions to hotel from vaporetto. The stairway to our room lit up when you opened the lower door. When they did renovations that they had excellent attention to detail. Wifi was free, password protected and worked as needed. Overall it was an excellent value, convenient location and comfortable room. I would stay here again!

as is typical in venice, the property was hard to find. staff was excellent. breakfast very good. rooms very comfortable.
