We spent a weekend in this lovely small hotel, a completely restored 15th century house. The location is great (only a short walk from the St Mark's Square and from the boat station), owners are very friendly and ready to help, the cleanness of the room and the bathroom was impeccable. A warm recommendation. You can feel the spirit of... More

The location was perfect -so easy to find and only 5 minutes from the vaperetto stop. We had ordered a bottle of prosecco for the room so was very happy to arrive and 'Salute' Venice. Guilano and Red were so helpful - the restaurant recommendations fabulous - in particular we loved La Rivetta just minutes from the hotel. Our room... More

Great location behind the Doges Palace and just a short walk from the Grand Canal. Our room (I think the entire hotel) had been renovated and everything was new and modern. We were on the top floor and had a limited view of the rear of the Doges and nearby rooftops. The bathroom was small but newly remodeled, with sink,... More

The hotel was in an excellent location very close to Piazza San Marco. We stayed for a weekend and the hotel contacted me before my arrival to inform me that I would be staying in two different rooms (which I agreed to). The staff moved all the luggage, so there was no hassle to us. The first room was a... More

We stayed 3 nights at Locanda al Leon and could not have been happier with our choice. The room was charming, spacious, and immaculately clean. The staff is wonderful. Red is especially helpful and friendly - he gave us specific directions (including vaporetto lines) to get to the main train station in time for our train to Florence and even... More

Venice was the 1st stop on our honeymoon and we arrived disoriented and exhausted after a long flight. We were greeted warmly by Giuliano who helped us bring our luggage up 2 flights of stairs to our room. Inside a bottle of prosecco and two champagne flutes greeted us, instantly lifting our spirits (literally and figuratively!) We stayed for 4... More

My wife and I recently spent 7 nights at the Locanda al Leon in Venice and enjoyed every moment there. The location is excellent - close to St Mark's Square and about a city block and 1/2 from the boat/bus stop at San Zaccaria/San Marco stop on the Grand Canal - makes it easy to get to the hotel and...

We stayed 4 nights and were very happy. Great location near San Marco, easy to find, and still quiet at night. Giuliano the owner was great! The airline lost our luggage and he kept calling them for us. Room was spacious, airy, bright, clean and beautiful. Breakfast room was small but we never had trouble getting a table. Nice selection... More

We didn't stay in the hotel but in the apartment. The staff at the hotel was very friendly and helpful. They even walked us to the apartment which was very helpful because I'm sure we would have gotten lost! The apartment is in a good location near St. Maria Formosa so we were always able to get back to it... More
