Nice room but older. Served our needs. Walk away from town about 300 meters to a local grocery store. (However, no microwave and you share the refrigerator with two other rooms outside in the hall.)

That the number of my room should have been on the middle floor, went from medium on bottom, high on second floor and low numbers on third floor. It was exceeding hot, AC was not cleaned in what seemed years and just pushed the air around. There wasn't anyone around to talk to after 1230. Finding the hotel doesn't work.with any kind of mapping app. It gets you to the general area but then we still has to call to find exact location.

This was my first visit to this hotel and i hope to return! It occupies the upper stories of an old building on a main thoroughfare in Venice's Cannaregio district, just 6 or 7 minutes' walking distance to the main railway station and the bus station. My very spacious and comfortable room looked out onto the main street and its shops, markets, cafés and bars. This is very busy and hence noisy, and even in that cold winter's week, it was also quite noisy late at night . This did not trouble me, but it might be less pleasant in summer, when you keep windows wide open. The hosts were very friendly and welcomng and also very helpful with advice. From here , most of Central Venice is easily accessible on foot. The vaporetto (water bus) stops nearby.

Amazing location, clean and comfortable room, owner was very kind and friendly, self check in was easy, air con worked great, nice and quiet. There are so many great restaurants and cichetti bars nearby. Only 10min walk to the train station.

We were welcomed with exceptional friendliness and could check in right away. The staff was in such a good mood it was the perfect start to our journey. We have been coming to the Biennale for several years now and we have to say that this was the nicest hotel we booked so far!! It is very clean and the location is perfect, since it is close to the train station and it is not necessary to carry your luggage through all of Venice. At the end of our stay we could leave our luggage after check out and the very friendly staff let us stay in our room an hour longer, since I was unlucky and caught a virus that was going round in Venice at the time.

Everything perfect - maybe if you have a lot of hair and you know you need an extra strong hair dryer, bring your own. But that is something you should know about your hair anyway ;)

Nice room, very quiet Good housekeeping everyday with free toiletries. Alberto, the owner, was very nice and helpful. Close to the train station, bus station and landmarks

There was a mini fridge in the hallway for all the guests but it was full and I wouldn’t leave my food or drinks in there anyway. I would prefer to have a mini fridge in our room. There was a bathroom in the hallway right by our room that other guests used, it was annoying at times because we could hear the toilet flushing in our room. No elevators, our room was on the third floor, going up and down the stairs and with our luggage was tough for us. But the owner helped us carry the luggage down the stairs for us. That’s appreciated

Conveniently located near the railway station.

The staircase is narrow and stiff. Going to the top floor with a 20 kg suitcase is a performance !

This is a gem of a property. The room was spacious and charming. The location is perfect - quiet location and yet close to everything. Good restaurants close by. The staff are extremely helpful and breakfast each morning was delicious. I would wholeheartedly recommend this property!

We are not small people and found the shower to be quite small. It was however clean and hot so this was a minor problem. Guests need to be aware that the entrance is down an Alley, not directly onto the Main Street - although this is not a problem.

Very convenient location, even if on a main road the room was quiet. Everything was clean and the late check in easy thanks to a door code. The room was comfortable and the staff very kind and helpful.

This boutique hotel, is so cute. I can't say enough about the uniqueness, of this property. Where do I start... firstly, coming in the door, you're met with a rustic vibe. The entryway, and up the stairway to the lobby, is a light brick. Once up the stairs, you land in the lobby. The wallpaper! The chandeliers! I love it. The ceilings had wooden beams, for that Old World feeling. The flooring had the established date of the hotel (late 1800's), embellished in center, and the modern furniture fit the look. The pictures don't do this place justice. I stayed twice, and each room, #12 & #15, was just as quaint. These updated rooms had their own cooling/heating system, and were big enough for me & another traveler, to open our big luggage, without feeling cramped. The beds & bedding, were so comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised by the modern bathroom. It was so clean, and big, for European hotel standards. The shower was also a great size. We both took showers, back-to-back, and both had plenty of hot water. The hotel is a short distance from the Santa Lucia train station, about 5-7 minutes walking... about 8-10 minutes if you're lugging baggage. No waterboat needed to reach the hotel. You get out the train station, down the stairs, and start walking to the left. The main walkway will lead you over a bridge. Continue walking for 20 seconds, and make a left at the 1st alley, on the side of a restaurant, with outdoor seating. (I truly believe it was the 1st alley, but no more than the 2nd.) You will know you arrived, because there is a lighted sign above the door, with Casa Martini's name on it. You can see the sign from the main walkway. You should have been in touch with the hotel, prior to your arrival, to receive the entry code, to get in. This is very handy, if you're arriving after the host leaves for the day.

That I couldn't stay longer. There was nothing, at all, that I did not like.

The best thing about this place for me was the location. It's a super easy 4 minute walk from the boat that I took from the airport, which was about a 30 minute ride (it was the 2nd stop). Very friendly reception, great room, super clean, hot, powerful shower, super clean and I loved the neighborhood.

The only negative thing I can think of is the stairs. I was on the first floor and there was a fairly large flight of stairs to get there. And there were 2 floors above me. I had a large suitcase so that would've been rough if I'd been on a higher floor.
