If you're looking for a beautifully decorated, comfortable room in a great location, the Centauro could be for you. Apart from a small reception area and a very pleasant breakfast room overlooking a lovely canal, the hotel has few other facilities. That said, it's location would be hard to beat. All we wanted was an operating base on our first... More

Be sure to follow the hotel's directions carefully because Venice's alleyways can be confusing. Make your way to Campo Manin (5 min. walking from Rialto Bridge) - the hotel can be found down a narrow alleyway from there. Rates are much lower if you get a room without bathroom - there is a sink/mirror though, which is very convenient. I... More

I will second the good location remark, but only after explaining this detail first... No one in S. Marco knows where it is! A word of advice if you are staying at Centauro, ask for Campo Manin first. From there it is an alleyway [much less shady than it sounds] just off of the square. But this is an inherent... More

Finding the hotel in the dark was a challenge but it is in a tiny alleyway off the Piazza Mannin. Close to the Rialto bridge which gives you easy access to both sides of the Grande Canal. Quiet comfortable room, although the pillows need replacing, good modern bathroom. Woken with smell of baking bread and cake each morning, continental breakfast... More

It was our first time in Venice and we stayed here for 2 nights. We stayed in a room with a canal view which was really fun to see how venice works. It was a very convenient spot-5min walk to Rialto and 15min or less to San Marcos square. The room was very clean, the bathroom was spacious. The breakfast... More

Its sometimes expensive travelling alone and I was pleased to get a comfortable room in this friendly, quiet, traditional hotel so close to the centre at a good price. Room just like the photo .. striped brocade walls and bedcover, comfortable single bed and adequate furniture with wash basin in the room and shower room just outside for my sole... More

Hotel is in a very good and relatively quiet location down a quiet street within an easy 5 minute walk of the Rialto Bridge. Plenty of stores and restaurants nearby. There is a great street called Calle de Fabbri that leads straignt from the nearby Pz. S. Lucas to S. Marco, with many trattori, gelateri, boutiques, and theaters. See directions... More

We stayed in a superior double with terrace [which we didn't use] for 3 nights at the centauro hotel on our third trip to Venice. Not as good as the usual hotel we stay at but you get what you pay for and this was cheaper by over £150. Hotel was clean, room was small and although myself and my... More

We stayed at the Centauro for three nights on a short trip to Venice. Great location in the centre of San Marco. The rooms looked just like the website pictures and very clean and serviced daily. Our superior double room with terrace was a little compact but adequate. Very comfy bed and we slept like logs, the hotel is very... More
