This hotel is shameful for the price. We have actually had a reasonably good time here from laughing at how bad the place is. The staff really are very friendly, but they know what you are about to walk into. At reception you will be informed that there are no refunds for cancellation, so that if you flee in horror... More

From 30dec2011 - 02jan2012 @ 210€ per night = 840€. This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. How do I loathe thee. Let me count the ways. Where to start?. Bathroom: toilet lid cracked; shower leaked where head attached to hose making it impossible to keep water off floor; lid of waste bin broken. Bedroom: thermostat broken,... More

Oh the Disappointment! We had understood from earlier reviews of this establishment that the Locanda really was something very special. In addition we were under the impression that we had booked a room overlooking the Grand Canal. Instead we were given the key to a dark, gloomy room overlooking the side alley and, on asking if we had made a... More

Hotel is very close to Rialto bridge and restaurants, but the cost to stay in a tiny gotti room was not worth it. We had booked with the hotel directly and told them we were on our honeymoon hoping that we would get a better room. This did not work. Our room smelled like fish because it was located in... More

I agree with the most recent reviews posted regarding this hotel. I suppose some of the rooms must be nice, but the one we were shown to (Room 104) was dreadful. Small, sparcely furnished, overlooking the shabby side street where the entrance to the hotel is to be found. At £162.20 per night I would consider it to be expensive... More

I do not recommend this hotel. As previously noted, the photos are very well done - but not what the reality is. I thought we were going a bit upscale on this and was shocked when we turned down an alley with a rough sign Locanda Ovidius over it, and a small desk/lobby. It is a great location, and in... More

The photos of this hotel and the reality are quite two different things. The location is just wonderful as it is right near the Rialto Bridge and the Grand Canal but the room we were shown was so small we could not fit our cases inside! We had many discussions before we were shown a room that was acceptable and... More
