We had a great stay here for 3 nights. The location was absolutely perfect for everything we wanted to do. Quick walk to the water taxi for train station, and short walk to San Marco square. The friendliest employees and our room was great. We stayed in the suite with two king beds, our 20 year old son was traveling with us and was perfect!

This was not what we were expecting but we still liked our stay. We arrived and there was literally no one there. We had to call the hotel reservation number and wait for someone to arrive, but luckily we could get into the place to wait. It seems to be a revised bed and breakfast place maybe. It was difficult to find. That being said, it was clean, the bed was comfortable, the room was nice, very large for a European hotel room, and refreshingly cold after long days in the heat. There was a noisy party outside our room the first night, but I think that was just bad luck and the other nights were peaceful. There is no breakfast, no concierge and no laundry service as advertised. We didn’t care too much about that, though we were counting on laundry service. The housekeeping provided was very good. There is no view. It is convenient to walk to shops, restaurants, and St. Marks. We enjoyed our stay here overall.

Beautiful suite in Venice
I was travelling with my adult son and it was a challenge to find accommodation with 2 separate rooms and beds. This fit the bill in an amazingly convenient location to all the sites but far enough away from the noise. Like all places in Venice it was a bit tricky to find and get to but not too bad as it is right in the corner of Campo Santo Stefano. I think writing the directions on the site would be helpful as even google maps gets a bit confused. Small detail as our stay was amazing! Very clean!

Located on Campo Santo Stefano. Very spacious. Only three units up one short flight of stairs. Daily housekeeping, cold ac, lots of hot water. Very centrally located - check location on map. Used Alilaguna to get to airport. Description is not entirely adequate - no washer, dryer, or kitchen. Owner very accommodating and helpful.

Fantastic first-time trip to Venice. FVS are located close to all the tourist attractions and transport is also very close by. They are situated on Campo San Stefano where a number of restaurants and coffee shops are located. The room was amazing and decorated beautifully and serviced daily. Staff were also very friendly and welcoming. Cannot recommend enough and would definitely stay here again if ever back in Venice.

The property is in a very good location. Right in the square. The owner Jacomo was very helpful, he helped us checkin even though we arrived early. He also started breakfast early specially for us because we had to leave for airport early. The venue only has 4 rooms, we had the suite. So it is very quiet and relaxing. All coded doors so not just anyone can walk in. If i ever visit Venice again, will for sure book there again.

Clean and spacious room with a very friendly owner. The location of the hotel is very good. Drinks were freely available in the fridge and the room had air conditioning. I would have preferred to have more powerful air conditioning in the room, but it was adequate as it was not too hot. Many other people may think that air conditioning was adequate enough.

Our stay in Venice
Loved it. Would recommend it to everyone. We Stayed in the Deluxe Suite which was spacious and lovely with an attached luxurious bathroom. The property was very clean and well maintained. Extremely convenient location in the center of the city. Nice cafes around. Giacomo, the owner was extremely helpful and very nice. Sent us directions and information (via WhatsApp, which apparently is very popular in Venice) along with an online map to the location which made it very easy to reach the property. Rose the receptionist was also very helpful and accommodating.

Eh, I'd give it 3 stars .....
The hotel was very clean. Breakfast was nice. I enjoyed the location because it was quiet and away from the Rialto Bridge/Market area, yet an easy and short walk to the main attractions in Venice. The location was actually in Tattiere, near the Academia bridge. The bed mattress is hard and the pillows are very flat. Good Wifi. Fridge in the room. My disappoint came when I mistakenly left a souvenir at the hotel and now I can't get anyone to answer the phone or respond to my email request.

Totally family friendly in Venice
Our host was awesome, he provided an early breakfast the day we left before it was scheduled. He was super nice and provided great recommendations for places to eat with kids. We will be back. The suite we stayed in was very spacious and a great fit for our family of four. Breakfast was delicious and the WiFi worked great.

A Mediocre stay in Venice
We had a few days in Venice and did not find it particularly attractive. The churches there are of mediocre quality, when compared to those in Spain. Some museums are nice though. The numerous "canals" in Venice are indeed characteristic of the place. We did not find the food to be of high quality. The Suite we were in was in my opinion value for money. The Suite was an ordinary B&B.

Not sure if I want to tell anybody else about how lovely this place was...there might not be availabilty for our return journey!!! Excellent location - especially if you enjoy walking around the intricacies that are the Venice streets. Really warm welcome by the Totally Friendly host. Lots to choose from for breakfast. MOST enjoyable.

Good B & B in an ideal location
Friendly Venice Suits was easy to get to from Marco Polo airport. It's tucked away in the a corner of Campo Santo Stefano square which is an ideal location. Approx 12 min walk to St Marks Square and Basilica di San Marco and 15 mins away from Basilica di Santa Marie della Salute. The room was very clean and spacious. Bed was comfortable and doctorated differently than your average hotel. Minimal options for breakfast but with so many lovely cafes around it didn't matter. Me and my partner had no issues with the accommodation and recommend it.

Nice 3 day stay...
The owner was very nice and welcoming. This is not a traditional US hotel. It has only 6 rooms and concisrge/owner is there only for the limited time during the day but lives nearby and can be there within 5 minutes. Rooms were very nice and half the price for the same type room at the actual traditional type hotel and service. Coffee machine with 10 types of coffee is a very nice touch. Breakfast is very limited due to the size of the hotel but there are plenty of places right next to the hotel where you can buy traditional Italian sandwiches for 2 euros. It's a 5 min walk to St. Marco square and frankly Venice can be walked arpund in half a day unless you don't like walking. Our room was overlooking square so it felt like we were real venitians, observing tourists through the Windows. The amount of tourist starts to decline after 7 pm and there is hardly anyone on the square after 1am as I was concerned whether it will be noisy or not - it was not noisy. You will have to call phone number at the front door when you arrive and the owner shows up within 5 min. We used navigation to find a hotel so we didn't have a problem. The tips and service provided by the owner were exceptional. He was very helpful and pleasant. Same as the cleaning lady that works there part time. It felt more like apartment rather than hotel.

Best located pensione
Yes, a true pensione like in the old days in Italy. A grand 3 bedroom apartment with a separate bathroom assigned to each of the 3 bedrooms. 2 are in the hall, but 1 is ensuite. Impeccably clean, warm and hospitable welcome, comfortable traditional furnishings, and one the ultimate locations in Venice.

Kan varmt anbefales!
Lækre værelser, bløde senge og den venligste husvært man kan tænke sig. Morgenmadsbuffeten er stor, og der bliver lavet røræg til dig i køkkenet, hvis du ønsker det. Ejendommen er stille, og beliggenheden er perfekt med skønne restauranter på pladsen nedenfor, og alting er i gåafstand, da du bor i hjertet af Venedig her. Vi havde de bedste dage her og kommer meget gerne igen. Jeg rejser ofte til Venedig, og dette er et af de bedste steder, jeg har boet. Kan varmt anbefales!

很有 heart 的民宿
房間很漂亮、很大、乾淨,早餐非常豐富,很讚!我們入住三天,每天都會為我們收拾房間、更換毛巾、添置沐浴露。 房東很 nice、很斯文有禮,我們第一天晚上 10 時才到民宿,房東雖然等了很久,但仍很親切地接待我們,還主動給我們拿行李。我們因爲趕火車還沒吃晚飯,房東還細心介紹這麼晚附近有甚麼好吃。我們離開的前一天,房東也主動問我們第二天早上要坐幾點火車離開,需要幾點吃早餐,很貼心!:) 民宿跟主要景點很近,步行 10 分鐘之內便可到達聖馬可廣場、總督宮、碼頭等等。 美中不足的是,沐浴間去水較慢,沐浴後會有積水,而且房間常有像發動機的響聲,但不會很吵。
