Great location (our room overlooked the Grand Canal and the Rialto Bridge) and wonderful service! The best service we had in Italy in fact! Rooms were charming and full of historical character. Continental breakfast was fresh and delicious! more

Good for the price but be careful when you book your room. I specifically paid more for a room with a "canal view" (the only canal next to the building is the grand canal). But on arrival they gave me a room with a view of a back-alley street. The difference is a canal has water. When I spoke to... more

The Hotel Locanda Sturion is a small but a very nice hotel. Extremly friendly staff (contrary to other hotels in venice). The view from the breakfast room is great. You see the rialto bridge and the "canal grande". And this view also can be seen on the television (live!! :-)) in the particular rooms. I'm looking forward to visiting this... more

After a 9 1/2 hour flight, 2 1/2 hour train ride & a 1/2 hour water taxi we finally arrived at our destination with our luggage only to ring the doorbell for access to the hotel. The 1st set of stairs where we thought reception would be was not bad at all then we turned the corner only to be... more

Having been a repeat visitor to this hotel, it is sad to have to write this review. We booked a five day stay in room 1 for a canal view. The air conditioning in the room was inadequate which required keeping the windows and shutters closed in order to maintain limited comfort. Our last day, we returned in the afternoon... more

the room wasn't even close to what we saw pictures of on the website. When I asked at the desk about the room quality, I was told that the room I saw pictures of was only for people who booked directly thru the hotel, not online services. The lobby of the hotel is on the 4th or 5th floor. Get... more

Stayed at the Locanda Sturion in July 09. We had a suite overlooking the Grand Canal and stone's throw away from Rialto Bridge - two double windows overlooking the Grand Canal - quite breathtaking! The 69 stairs allows you to indulge a little throughout your stay! The room itself was clean & comfortable. Breakfast was adequate and there was a... more

Just a few steps from the bridge, up a tall flight of steps to reception lay Locanda Sturion. A quiet street, beautiful decor, adequate breakfast with a courteous and friendly staff made our stay quite pleasant. Stairs may be a problem for older or disabled travelers. Non-canal view room was somewhat small, but well lit with two great windows overlooking... more

The Sturion was our first stop on our Italian itinerary. It is a lovely hotel but we were not prepared for the 64 stairs we had to climb carrying our bags to get to the lobby area. There is no lift to put bags on so "travel light"! The staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and very... more
