“They over booked us!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011

We turned up, and were told that "the hot water in your room doesn't work", so the daughter (?) took us for a short 5 min walk to another place, where there was a room available for us.

This room was above a restaurant, of presumably her friend. She was very apologetic. The new room was lovely, big, great air con, mini fridge, tv, nice bathroom. Lovely! And a view of the canal.

So we can't really comment on the rooms of the Doge, because we didn't stay there. But we did go back to the hotel in the morning for breakfast. We peeked into the rooms and they were small, comfortable looking, but we definately did better in the other place.

We ended up having breakfast in their kitchenette area, not the best experience, no where to sit, but at least we got some food and coffee. The mother was very apologetic about "being fully booked" (so no problem with hot water), and didn't charge us the additional tax that we should have paid. Which was nice.

I liked the look of Doge for a short stay. Great location for the train station, pleasant walk to all the big sights.

“There has to be better places for the money!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

I stayed here for 3 nights in July 2011. Although the location is a bit out of the way for the main tourist sights it is near the main station and there are plenty of boats. It is a very quite area...

Unfortunately the staff were very abrupt. The woman at the reception desk (a counter under the stairs) took to shouting if you couldn't understand what she was saying - going on the premise that louder means clearer...

Breakfast was basic to say the least. Served in the room at a time arranged the night before (if they remember - one morning I had to go and ask) - it was a pretty poor affair. Bad coffee and 2 bits of french toast with jam if you were lucky and a stale croissant.

The room itself was fine if a little gloomy. The air-con worked great. The shower unfortunately was filthy and mouldy and the water backed up at an alarming rate. More than 4 minutes and the water was up to the lip of the shower tray!

There have got to be better places than this to stay in Venice for the price.
Very poor!

“Warning - please don't stay in this hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2011

We stayed one night in this horrible hotel. Don't get deceived by the overall reviews. Trust me, it's a starless hotel. Small, dingy and very rude daughter. They run a scam. They chrge u one price and give it for half to Europeans. This stay spoiled my Venice trip. I am literally begging people please please don't stay here. I would suggest not to stay near station. Stay in Rialto area or San Marco.

Room Tip: Dont stay

“Fantastic, wish we could have stayed longer!”

Our family of 4 arrived at the train station in Venezia with directions in hand for a short 6 minute walk to our Hotel. They led us right to the doorstep and we were immediately greeted by our lovely host. We are American and she spoke little English but she guided us to our 2 bedroom place which was perfect for the 4 of us. Bathroom was spacious, shower was a bit tight as I am a big guy but it did the job. They brought us a lovely breakfast of juices, coffee and pastries in the am and let us store our baggage until we departed for the train station later in the day. A perfect place in just an awesome part of our world. I recommend it to everyone!

“Decent spot in Venice.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2011

Spent three days here. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was huge. It was closer to an apartment than a hotel room. Very clean although the bed was a bit on the uncomfortable side. The location is great. It's far from St. Mark's and the really touristy areas. If you like to hang with the locals, the surrounding neighborhoods are where you want to be.
