Albergo San Marco

I stayed here for 2 weeks for my birthday and enjoyed my stay. I received a lovely handwritten birthday message with a bottle of prosecco...a wonderful gesture and so appreciated. Comfortable stay and a quiet room with a window overlooking the canal. You have to lean out the window and down to see the gondolas going through. The actual view is of a building on the other side of the canal. The hotel is in a great location and being central it was easy to walk everywhere. I would recommend to put down that map and casually walk around and you'll always get to a bridge or the canal...and stop into the odd cafe or restaurant enroute. There were a couple of hiccups the first couple of days but the staff really helped and sorted out the slow air-conditioning and placed a kettle in the room. Everything was comfortable afterwards. Grazie mille 😊

POSITIVE: The breakfast was really great and much better than in the 4-star hotel where we stayed afterwards. Rooms very clean. Hotel very centrally located. NEUTRAL: When we arrived in the evening and asked if drinks could be bought here, we were referred to the associated "supermarket" next door. We were in this one before and asked where the hotel was. They had NO idea!! The market was closed and so I walked a good 100m to an ice cream parlour. On the day of departure we found the minibar with drinks. So we wouldn't have had to go out to buy drinks. NEGATIVE: We had frozen at night!! The so-called blanket was just a kind of better tablecloth and clearly much too thin given the low temperatures in the morning hours. It was also unfortunate that not each of us had a "blanket", but one together. If one curls up in the "blanket" at night, the other lies there without. Rooms without air conditioning. Up to this point I was willing to give the hotel three stars. BUT: A visitor's tax of 4.50 euros per day and person is a brazen rip-off!!! In our later 4-star hotel we paid 1.50 euros. So I only give 1 star.

Great location to all Venice, friendly staff. Speaks English, Spanish and Italian of course, just noisy.

Small bathroom - specially shower (door can't be closed). Excelent location, breakfast in hotel for affordable price.

Rude staff judgemenal smile in your it says no fee breakfast yet you have to pay 8 euros I definitely recommend a professional establishment

Ideal location. 5 minutes walk from water bus drop off. Surprised the hotel doesn't have an iron for travellers. I also wouldn't pay €8 for the breakfast. There's nice cheap eateries within the streets. Around good experience
