This place was great! The staff was lovely and very helpful. It’s within walking distance to the Rialto Bridge and the rooms are small but nice and has a very “Venice” feel. We would definitely stay here agin if we return to Italy!

Room was spacious and clean. Nice view of the street and surrounding restaurants. Bathroom was clean. Air conditioner worked very well over two extremely hot nights. Met two women who worked there and both were extremely pleasant and spoke perfect English. Fantastic location. Could not more highly recommend.

DEBRA

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Chose this place primarily for price. Was not looking for anything extravagant as we just needed a safe place to sleep, we travelled for 25 hours and only had one full day here. It was decent, good location and restaurants around. No front desk. We arrived at 7pm and you ring a bell and she lets you in by remote. Easy enough. She left us notes about our key in the door and that she reserved us spots/tickets for Redentore. I came to Venice 20 years ago and don’t think that mosquitos were a problem then. We all got bitten multiple times and probably killed about 40 mosquitos. Yes, Venice has mosquitos because of the canals but I felt the property didn’t do enough to combat. No notes warning the guests, she just leaves bug spray behind her table which we didn’t know about until the next day. We finally figured out they were coming thru the bottom of the door and urinal! If you stay here roll a towel at bottom of door and plug the urinal when not using. I wish I could have left a better review.

Thanks for your review, I would just like to point out that in each room we leave anti-mosquito tablets in the sockets. In Venice, there are many due to the heat and the canals, but they don't come from the toilet.then I leave both the spray to avoid bites and the mosquito spray behind my desk, it doesn't seem to me that we do nothing to avoid this discomfort.anyway I hope you had a good staybest regards elizabeth

Fantastic Value
If you're planning on spending all day walking around Venice and only plan on sleeping in the hotel, this place is perfect. Clean, fully functional, and very charming. The hotel is centrally located close to Rialto, St. Mark's Square, and Ponte dell'Accademia. Easy 5 minute walk from the San Angelo Alilaguna stop.

The staff were pleasant and very helpful. They suggested the most convenient and budget ways to reach the hotel and make it to our flight on the way back. Apart from that, there was not much to highlight. The air conditioning did not work at night for some reason. So both nights, we had to keep the windows open -- which meant a lot of noise and mosquitos and a terrible nights sleep. There was no one at the front desk to ask about this problem, no one would pick up the phone either; neither were we compensated for the inconvenience. We returned home extremely tired after our 2 nights here.

Buyer Beware
The worst. The room was cramped. Even though I had paid in advance for 3 non-refundable nights in this place, I was told on the third day that I would have to pay double for that day, or leave with no refund for that day. Manager is unethical. Inexplicably, Hotels.com did NOT back me up. We left and found a much better room for less than this place was trying to overcharge us. When I complained to the manager, I was physically threatened by an "associate" of this converted house. Not recommended. Worst experience from an otherwise delightful 30 day European vacation.

We are very sorry that your holiday was ruined in the end but everything depended on the fact that you did not show up on the reserved date but the next day without warning. this led to the no show with the application of all costs related to your booking. the final misunderstanding depended on the rather aggressive way in which you placed yourself against the girl at the reception when she told you that your no show had generated the reserve for a new guest and that if you wanted to stop you would have to pay you the rerouting of the new guest. I advise to always respect the reserved dates or at least to warn of possible delays, we are not of the visionaries !!!

Quaint authentic Venetian hotel
Quaint authentic Venetian hotel but like many places in Venice it was a little hard to find. Great location and staff! Things you should know; you will have to climb a long uneven flight of stairs to get there and make sure you get the AC remote the first night they forgot to give it to us and the room got pretty hot.

An ok place for one person.
This property is more of a bed-and--breakfast than a hotel. It is centrally located, and only a short walk from the St.Angelo vaporetto stop. The room was nice:definitely lots of character, with a beautiful Murano (?) chandelier and wall paintings. The room was clean but the bed was quite small for the two of us. It is smaller than full size but bigger than a twin size. It really is a bed for 1 person. The downside: do NOT arrive late at night because it is really hard to find this place. We were close to despair after walking maze-like streets for some twenty minutes at midnight, knowing that we were circling 180-foot radius. The is no sign for this property except for a tiny metal plaque that you can't see unless you know it's there. There is definitely a need for some sort of sign. We asked many locals who had never heard of the place because it is so obscure. There is a small restaurant directly across from Casa, and even people working there didn't know about it! Luckily for us, one of the chefs knew we were standing in front of it. Another issue is the smell in the room. I don't think it's anything in control of the owners, but there is a very unpleasant odor in the room most likely stemming from steaming pipes in the basement. The room was cold or too hot when heat came on. We didn't order breakfast. It came for an additional fee of 5 euros, and included coffee, juice and croissant. We chose to eat at a nearby cafe by the theater, which I would highly recommend.

gentilissimo cliente, mi dispiace che abbiate avuto tutti questi problemi per trovare casa fenice comunque basterebbe stampare la piantina o scriverci che arrivate di notte in modo da potervi dare tutte le informazioni necessarie, per l'odore sgradevole nella stanza purtroppo a venezia succede quando l'escursioni delle maree sono elevate.....per il costo della colazione non essendo compresa nel prezzo non ci sembra esoso c'è anche da dire che non essendo compresa nel prezzo offriamo gratuitamente ai nostri ospiti coffe ammenities in camera che ci sembra sia una ottima cosa speriamo comunque che abbia avuto un buon soggiorno grazie e speriamo alla prossima elisabetta

Casa Alla Fenice
We stayed 3 nights at Casa Alla Fenice which was a quirky little hotel in Venice. It was relatively easy to find, we walked from the train station with our backpacks in about 20 minutes. The first time seemed longer as we had to find our way through the maze of streets and bridges but once we got our bearings we were able to navigate relatively easily. The hotel has quaintly decorated rooms which are showing their age and wear but are clean and comfortable if a bit small. The bathroom was clean but the shower was quite small. There was some noise from the street and adjacent rooms but it was not bothersome for us. The air conditioning worked well. A good breakfast was delivered to our room daily - coffee, juice, various breads and packaged biscuits/sweets. The room had a small refrigerator and a floor safe but we did not use it. The WiFi and number of outlets for charging devices were adequate. A couple of things to note, there are relatively dark stairs to the rooms and the office is not occupied 24 hours and could be an issue is there are problems. Our hostesses were cheerful and helpful at all times with very good English and made sure all was well during our stay including printing boarding passes. It was good value for the money and I would recommend it to others.

Good location and wonderful hosts
The location is great and quiet. The room was a bit small, but was fine for two people. The two women who run the hotel are absolutely lovely and gave us great recommendations for where to eat, where to go, what to see, etc. Check-in and check-out were easy and the room was cleaned well each day. Breakfast was delivered to the room each morning. Because of city rules, they could only turn on the AC during specific hours, which was a bit tough since it was very hot while we were there, but was out of their control. Overall, a good stay at a quaint place. I recommend and would stay here again.
