My husband expected a musty churchy establishment, but he was pleasantly surprised to find this monestary fully modernized, almost to the point of sterility. It was very clean, the AC worked beautifully, and the elevator worked fine. No TV but who needs it. The reception was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a bit spartan: no fruit, eggs or meat. It...

We stayed for two nights in this peaceful place in Venice during the Biennale. It was a very warm period and the center of Venice was crowded, so it was a pleasure to return to this quiet, simple but very nice haven. I would stay here again on a next visit to Venice. More

We found a room at Don Orione at the last minute when we fled our original hotel with no hot water. The kind staff, the spacious and spotlessly clean room and the low price made us wish we'd stayed here in the first place. Note: Don Orione does not accept walk-ins typically, so if you are thinking of staying here,... More

We stayed here for three nights in Oct 2010 and were very pleased with the entire experience. The front desk people were very friendly and helpful. The whole place was absolutely spotless. This included our room, the hallways and public areas. Breakfast was typical European Continental which suited us fine as it was pretty much like we have at home.... More

Best location ever...minutes to either Accademia or Zattere vapporetto stops which together offer options to cover just about all major spots and sights. Good eateries nearby, including a branch of Pizzeria Oche and range of choices in Campo Santa Margherita and Barnabas. On the Zattere, several choices for leisurely coffee and ice cream (Da Nico) indulgences. Great for jogging and... More

My wife and I stayed two nights in Venice at this cultural center which previously was used as an orphanage. It was clean, quiet and affordable. Breakfast was more than ample and tasty. Service at the front desk was pleasant and competent. More

This hotel is a very spacous hotel with large, clean rooms,modern bathrooms and shining floors and hallways. It is very peaceful and quiet ,a place you can meditate in. The staff is great and helpful and professional. The breakfast is more than adequate and tasteful; but most of all, it has the best location in Venice. Only a walking distance... More

Don’t let the “monastery” tag fool you. Once you get into the building you would think you are in any modern hotel. The rooms are well appointed. Very clean and spacious. The check-in & checkout procedure was efficient, the staff very friendly and helpful. The location may not be what a honeymoon couple would look for as there is no... More
