カ ドゥ レオーニ(Ca' Dei Leoni)

Had a non-refundable (I’ll never make that mistake again) booking for two nights at this hotel in Venice in late September, 2023. We arrived on the train from Milan and checked in midafternoon. Admittedly, once we got to the room, it was not what we expected. The room was tired and dingy. Cracked and broken glass on the nightstand and peeling paint on the walls and floor among other things. Definitely NOT a three star hotel in any part of the world that we’ve traveled to. Since it was a non-refundable reservation AND we were already out over $300 USD, we figured that as long as the bed was comfortable and that the shower worked, we would stay. After heading out into Venice for the afternoon and grabbing some dinner, we eventually made it back to the room around 9pm. We climbed into bed looking forward to a good night’s sleep after a long day of travel and that’s when the mosquitoes started swarming. We got no sleep….none. We hid under the sheets whenever we weren’t trying to kill the mosquitoes. This went on all night long. I told the proprietor the following morning about the mosquitoes and he couldn’t care less. He mumbled something about putting a “machine” in our room and this would take care of our mosquito problem in an hour. We declined his very generous offer (along with his offer not to charge us a city tax), called ********** to complain about this situation then got the hell out of there. The proprietor wouldn’t refund our money for the second night. Imagine that!

Very Venetian and very comfortable. Ten minute walk from train station. Staff very helpful and informative. Easy walk to vaporettos. Daily continental breakfast. Pleasant garden area. Casa Bonita, excellent restaurant, is around the corner. Would stay here again.

Lovely little hotel, with a lot of history. Guy on reception was very friendly and helpful (told us about the €2 gondola ride you can do). Great location, easily walkable to the train station and boat stations. Nice bars round the corner as well. Lovely breakfast provided in a courtyard. Would definitely stay there again.

This is an amazing hotel! Nikola at the front desk was so helpful with knowledge of how to get around, recommendations, and a winning personality! The A/C in our room was phenomenal which was nice on such hot humid days. The breakfast was delicious and filling and all the staff was so kind. It’s not the biggest room, but we were very comfortable and would stay here again!

It was in a perfect location if you need to take the train east to get and from the station . Close to the action but just far enough away so it wasn’t noisy at night.

Room and bathroom are extremely small. A/C didn’t work, walls and outlets needed repair. Breakfast was outside surrounded by aggressive birds.
