Hotels near Handmade Children Bookshop, Venice

I was a bit apprehensive given the other reviews but we wanted to be close to Piazza San Marco at a reasonable price. This was a great choice! Room in the main building was quiet with great air conditioning and wifi. Bathroom was large and bed was ok. No view out the window, but I’m not sure that’s really an option in Venice. Staff were very nice and would stay there again.

I have lived in Europe the best, most cost-effective Youth Hostel, 177 nights in a two-person room, hotel-level environment, will also provide you with bath towels, each bed has a charging plug, as well as tables, chairs and cabinets, also There are several people in the common kitchen. The entire hotel is large and full of the charm of old European architecture. It is a youth hostel that allows people to stay for another night.

Everything was great. We took a water taxi from the airport to the hotel, the dock was right in front of the hotel which was very nice since we arrived late at night. The only thing can get improved was wifi, sometimes it was hard to get the signal in the room.

I received a message from the store in advance, explaining the route in detail. Take bus No. 2 from the train station and get off at the stop before the Riya Tow Bridge. After getting off the bus, follow the instructions and walk for 5 minutes to the hotel. Go to the second floor to complete the check-in formalities and then work. Staff took 10 minutes to walk to the apartment. Our room is on the second floor, with 2 bedrooms, 1 living room, 2 bathrooms and a kitchen. The kitchen is fully stocked with seasonings and a washing machine. The apartment is not in a busy area and is very quiet. It's a few minutes' walk to the river, very convenient. There is a market by the river in the morning where you can buy ingredients, and the seafood is fresh and cheap. Although prices are high in Venice, it is very cheap to buy water and food from supermarkets and markets.

My husband and I enjoyed a remand UC stay in this exquisite hotel steps away from St Marks square. We booked this hotel through Inspirato and we’re in the penthouse terrace suite. Words cannot describe the attention to detail in every corner of our suite. We were luxuriously pampered with in room breakfast, unpacking and packing of our bags, convenience of booking opera tickets and shopping service. One afternoon we invited a friend to join us on the large terrace as we basked in the sun, a rare treat in Venice. Wonderful memories were made at this beautiful hotel.

We stayed here for 3 nights and couldn’t fault the hotel. It has its own water taxi stop so we were dropped off right at the hotel which in itself is a big win in Venice. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. We had upgraded our room for an extra €40 a night and it really was worth it. A large room with two huge windows looking onto the grand canal the views were beautiful. The location is fantastic just a short easy walk to the nearest vaparetto stop of San Stae (highly recommend the vaparetto pass get it from any stop with a kiosk we got ours at Rialto bridge) and an easy stroll to Rialto market, bridge and then a further short walk to St Marks Square. There are lots of lovely little cafe bars and restaurants on the way where the drinks are so reasonable (€6 an apperol compared to €20 in St Marks square). The hotel recommended a few restaurants to us but only got chance to eat in one (as we had other plans) Regina Sconta which was really nearby and really good. The hotel is signposted for the last few alleyways so easy to find in the dark and there are also signs directing you to the main sites. The breakfast had a good selection of hot cold and sweet and we enjoyed it everyday sometimes getting there early at 7.30 and other days turning up at 9.55!! Service was great every day and one day we got to sit out on the balcony. Every night when we got back we would sit in the jetty and have a drink from the bar and watch the world go by! There was maid service every day everything was topped up and fresh towels given. The mini bar was very reasonable and the air con worked like a dream which was such a relief after 32 degree heat outside. Such friendly helpful staff. We felt safe and everything was so easy at this hotel. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again next time in Venice.

I would definitely recommend this ho(s)tel to young people. All the team was kind and helpful, although a very few of them spoke italian. The location is amazing, San Marco and its beautiful surroundings easy to reach by vaporetto number 2 - by the way.. if you are planning to spend at least 2-3 days it‘s worth buying a Venice card. Our bedroom was absolutely clean and the mattress comfortable. Still I would have appreciated one more towel pro person… by the high rate we paid.

We were quoted by the hostel website a €66 per night stay excluding the city tax but the final price was just worked out to favour the hotel. We had payed a €15 deposit prior to the stay and after checking reviews upon arrival we decided it was best to get a firm idea of the price right away. At this time I was quoted a price of €141 for 2 nights including the city tax (€4) and I decided to double check that this was taking into account the deposit. The manager (I think) got very short and explained he had already said this but I was just unable to decipher his grumbles and had asked for clarification. So I accepted that after adding the deposit it was going to be €76 euro instead of €66 but for 2 nights I was just going to accept this as we didn’t have much other choice and just wanted to enjoy Venice and if we decided to we [could discuss the bill at the end of the stay. Skip to check out time and we were told the the price was €141 and that he had to now add on the city tax of €4 (different to what he had said before of 141 including the tax) another small increase but we had a bus to catch so didn’t have much choice but to pay. So ending up paying €78 per night ex. tax which is okay if the hotel is of good quality, it was not. The manager was smoking at the reception desk but not a huge deal as we were staying across the street. Got into our building and it had a very unusual not that pleasant smell but we got used to it. Went to use our shared toilet (booked a shared toilet) and stepped on the open drain which was covered by a bath mat. The shower has really great pressure though so that’s a plus. The room had no air con as expected but somehow was hotter than outside. If you book a 1 star hotel you get a 1 star room and we weren’t surprised in that respect but we were supplied with an anti mosquito plug-in with enough tablets to last our stay. A very out dated room but again a 1 star hotel so we weren’t surprised. Not made to feel welcome by the man behind the desk (maybe manager) but he was in a very good mood when receiving payment. The experience start to finish made us feel that the hotel was run without a care for the quality and just a transaction (maybe a bit of a con with the price bumps).

Consigliato vivamente, Abbiamo soggiornato in questo albergo e siamo stati benissimo, a due passi dal canal grande a 20 minuti a piedi da piazza san marco . Vicinissima alla stazione e dal punto di di partenza degli autobus per l'aeroporto, le stanze molto pulite il personale attento e gentile e premuroso, la colazione abbondante e variegata.

We stay in the junior suite for 2 nights. The room was spacious and well appointed with all essential amenities. The downsides were not having good view (facing the other building’s rooftop) and water pressure was weak and not hot enough. The bed and pillows were clean and comfortable. The reception staff were always friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good. Appreciated the covid preventative measures that the foods were served in the individual containers.
