Does the job.
Very easy directions given by the owner and very close to a water bus stop. We had room 1 which had very few amenities but was very comfortable.

Excellent B&B
Very nice B&B in a quiet and lovely neighbourhood. It is away from the chaos of Piazza San Marco. However, the B&B is located within walking distance to many of Venice's attractions and landmarks. It is a short vaporetto trip from the train or bus station and a 5 minute walk from the vaporetto stop. The Cannaregio neighbourhood is amazing and you will enjoy how conveniently located the B&B is. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. The breakfast is fantastic (on a beautiful terrace) and Sylvia is a lovely and accommodating host. She also makes great omelettes. The extra bed we had in our room was not appropriate for my son, and Sylvia was kind enough to let my son sleep in an adjacent room. If you are looking for a special Venetian experience this B&B will not disappoint.

nice location but old room
The B&B is at a great location, a few mins walk from Riatlo.We were given a room with a kitchenette,which was a plus since we had small kids.The room was in a clean condition, but it had a lot of mosquitoes. Not sure if they were mosquitoes or bed bugs but my son slept on the twin beds in a corner and woke up with huge bumps/bites all over his face and body. The breakfast wasn't served till 8:45 which i thought was a little late. It was an assortment of packaged pastries & the owner made some good omelette and coffee. The rooms are old and it seems all the sound goes from one room to another. We have 2 little kids and they are early risers. The couple living below our room were rude about our kids and complained that they made a lot of noise and kept banging. Not that they were playing football in the room, they are kids and probably just did what little kids do. However, we were careful after that and even restricted our kids from getting down from the bed and tiptoed all the time. But the lady downstairs still complained and the next morning she was very rude and asked when we are leaving the leave and told us we are troubling them a lot.We had to catch a train and when we were bringing luggage down, she kept peeking from the door and told us she is very happy were leaving. The whole experience ruined our stay. I understand the walls were old and we were considerate when they complained but when i spend money on hotel, i don't want to keep my kids confined in a corner.

Great place to stay at a good price!
It was great! The staff was very friendly and hospitable. They offered us coffee and pastries when we first arrived and left us a map of Venice. Our breakfast was better than usual in Italy and included an omelette. We enjoyed eating on the balcony. We had our own bathroom. It was near the vaporetto stop.

Nice place to stay in Venice
We stayed at this B&B for 2 nights and got 3rd floor room. There is no elevator, so we carried our heavy bags to 3rd floor room. There are some rooms at 2nd floor, but I guess it's my luck. The husband and wife who owns the B&B are great people and treat all the guests with great care and make very tasty fresh Omelettes for all the guests. The breakfast was great and location of the hotel is very close to water taxi stop and all the food places. It's only 1 km or less from St Mark's Basilica, Doge's Palace and Rialto Bridge. The only complaint I have about my room is that it was on 3rd floor,water pressure was low in shower and free B&B wifi was not working in room. I will stay there again if I get a 2nd floor room, which will fix our wifi and water pressure issues.

Good location; B&B....not much of service.
Its B&B. Good breakfast. Courteous owner. Great location ...But there is no reception, no one to contact if you need anything. There is no sign of the hotel outside so its difficult to spot especially if you are coming in late.

Local Venice Feel
This was a very lovely place to spend a couple nights in Venice. It's right in the middle of things, but still far enough away from all the crazy June crowds. The hotel had self check-in, which was great and the breakfast in the morning (on the terrace during warm months) was varied and delicious. It's tucked away in a quiet alley where you hear the sounds of local life and get some nice warm breezes. Definitely recommend!

Well located but small
We arrived after hours but Francesco had already emailed location details, entry code & room number so we had no trouble checking in. Typically, there is no lift and we were thankful our room was oy on the first floor. Italian breakfst (coffee, bread & eggs) was served on a cramped courtyard or in a separate common room. Service was very good and the location handy to St Mark's square & the Rialto Bridge.

Al saor is a wonderful place to stay. Very close to all major places to visit in Venice while being tucked away on a side street that is quite. The place is quaint and feels like home away from home. Francesco is very nice, approachable and provides suggestions or advice on places to visit if you are interested. Breakfast is lovely.

Overrated BnB, Pricey, Not Honest
poor wifi caused problems to surf for sites in Venice; paid for a triple room, but room is just big enough for a double bed - felt short change on the room; pillows too soft; did not provide additional pillows; TV not working, no change after reporting; poor service - no body on arrival at late morning, even though they said they will be around ; staff did not deliver the breakfast items requested even though they are available; staff not honest - after paying and receiving receipt for full payment, the change was not given. After v long wait and asked, was told no change. Decided to give the change, was told I did not pay full amount. After confrontation that staff issued me receipt for full payment. Then staff return the change which earlier said was not available. Spoilt my trip to Venice.

Very Uncomfortable
Unfortunately we were offered a 3 bed facility 50 metres from the main "hotel". There were 2 showers. The usable one had no hot water. The other is a combined shower/toilet and everything else. Not practical to use at all. The first is up a steep flight of steps that would make a ship look comfortable. There was no wifi in the unit!

Perfect location amazing service
Amazing location - dining and shopping right outside your door, 3 minutes to the canal for transit (and no bridges to cross), 5 minutes to Rialto bridge, 10 to St Marks square. The building is beautiful and our room (sun) was very large with a kitchenette. 3 of us were very comfortable. No elevator so there will be stairs to climb with your luggage (typical for Venice). beds were more firm than I like and the pillows rather flat. Small price to pay for location, amazing breakfast included, and spectacular service from your hosts.

Get lost in Venice and find yourself.
Clean, friendly and ideally located the Al Saor B&B is steps off a wide (for Venice) shopping street where you can find everything a traveler needs. Sylvia and her helpers make every effort to please and help inform you. My room had a kitchenette in which the tiny fridge came in very handy. Venice is a walking city so any place 10 mins from Piazza San Marco is a good location. My only regret was being constantly on the go and not being able to enjoy breakfast on their terrace which smelled great. Go to Venice, stay at the Al Saor, walk the streets and find yourself by getting lost in Venice.

Great little budget b&b in good location. Not fancy but does the job for a reasonable price. Bed a little too firm, shower cubicle is tiny but the room was cool and comfortable. Breakfast was simple but tasty. Service was friendly. Great little place nearby for cheap eats called Fried Land (serves low cost pastas and chicken dishes, etc).

Grazie Silvia e Francesco!
Fabulous! Communication with Francesco prior to the visit was brilliant and Silvia was so friendly when we were there. Our room was small but lovely - exactly what we needed and breakfast was served every morning on a little terrace which was super cute. Fresh coffee, omelettes and juice - what a great start to the day. The area is great with some really great restaurants and bacaris close by. Couldn't recommend this place enough!

Great hotel
Although the hotel is very difficult to find, it was one of the best hotels we stayed in during our month long trip to Europe. The directions, provided by the owner in an email, are not very good. We ended up having to call him and getting directions as we walked. The room and bathroom are small. But the breakfast, included in the price, is awesome and the location was great. The room was spotless, the bed comfortable, and the hot water, hot. Highly recommended.

Very nice stay. Small house, clean, well kept, room not big but sufficient. Very quiet, despite the relative closeness to major sights. Very short walk from the waterbus station Ca'D'Or. Breakfast OK, for people with warm breakfast desires they offer omelettes without surcharge.

We picked this B&B last minute, and I'm so glad we did. The place is gorgeous, clean, and in a great location. I usually never leave reviews for hotels but definitely had to for this place. It seems to be a home that was renovated into a B&B. It is close to the main street and pretty simple to get to from the train/bus station. Moreover, in the morning they had a gorgeous breakfast ready for us in the outside patio. Our room was right next to the kitchen and patio area and I was pretty surprised at how quiet they were setting this whole breakfast up because I did not hear a thing. I have a gluten allergy and was fine with just drinking coffee but our host made us omelets too which was a bonus! (And they were so good!) My only tips before you go: enable google maps on your phone, it's super easy to get lost in Venice with all the bridges. Wake up early one day to check out the sunrise, the colors in the sky are absolutely spectacular! & get a waterbus day pass to enable you to get around the city. Francesco (the host) sends you a map with the location of the B&B and the waterbus stops nearby which is super helpful.

This was a great hotel to stay at, the location was close to all the main sights, the ferry to St Marks square was a minute away, the breakfast was delicious and our hosts were friendly and helpful. The room was amazing, on the top floor with a kitchenette and the comfiest bed with all the utilities you need The only complaint I could make however is that you need to have a mobile phone in order to get the code into the apartment because there isn't a check in desk. It isn't a hassle if you have a phone, but if you don't you'll be in a spot of trouble..

Great stay -hard bed
Great find for central Venice . Easy to find and very central BUT beds and (single) pillows were very hard .To be fair we did not request more as we were staying only 2 nights. Breakfasts were plentiful and omelettes cooked fresh to order. Use of outside terrace was a bonus. Rooms are located on first floor and above and there is no lift but easily negotiated if you can carry own luggage. Sylvia was very considerate and even called us to assist as our flight was delayed and our arrival was late . Rooms very small but charming.

Make sure your room will be in the main building!
Our room was not in the main building, so we did NOT get the free wi-fi! Be sure to print out and take the small map from the HOTELS.COM web-site. When we arrived, no locals knew of this place or the road it was on. We even purchased a local map and the road was not on the map! We called the bed and breakfast and NO ONE answered or returned our call. Kinda scarey! Fortunately, we had this small map from the reservation and used that to locate the bed & breakfast (with all our suitcases in tow). We had to ring the bell several times before someone finally answered. Our room had not been cleaned, yet and it took significantly longer than they told us before the room was ready (not until 5 pm). Our room was not as nice as those in the main building.
