Check in at Residanza was smooth, although a little hard to find. Pay in advance since there is no checkout. Just leave the keys inside.
Long steep stairs up to the room. Painful with suitcases.
Room and bathroom very neat and clean although a bit small.

The hotel is in a ideal location for sightseeing as is close to both rialto bridge and st marks and is only a few minutes walk from each. You need to check in at residenza san marco and the rooms are located in a row of shops around the corner from where you check in. Rooms are small in size but ideal as a base and somewhere to sleep. No lift so would not recomend to those struggling with chairs or couples with children. Better hotels to stay in venice i am sure but for the price its great.

My husband I I stayed here for 2 nights. Consdering how expensive Venice is this was quite well priced. The rooms are tiny and there is no elevator but they are very clean, provide all necessary facilities and breakfast is sufficient. The decor is very venetian and the location is great, just a few streets back from the Rialto bridge. Had some difficulty finding it as you have to check in through another hotel which is not too far away. They then walk you to your room. The bed and breakfast is good for those who want to discover the city and have a nice, comfortable, decent sleep. Would stay here again if visiting Venice. Note: When booking they provide you with all the directions, make sure to catch the vaporetto from the train station to the rialto bridge, from here it is only a 5 minute walk.
