This is a beautiful, authentic Venetian property overlooking the canal. It is in a great location 5 minutes' walk from the Piazzale Roma - so convenient if you are arriving by bus. Bed was comfortable. Friendly, helpful owner. Everything was fabulous.

Lots of space in Venice
Amazing large apartment in the middle of Venice and a wonderful place to escape the crowds. Very easy to get to with luggage from Piazalle Roma and excellent communication with the owner. Highly highly recommend!

We have stayed at Palazzo Odoni before (but in the hotel, which is part of the same building). The palazzo is beautiful and in a perfect location. We liked our apartment, but there was a little confusion over the hotel and apartments being separate and it was not always easy to communicate with our host as (unlike the hotel hosts) he was not always around. It was possible to message him, but on our last day, we wanted to pay our city taxes and were unable to pay him in person. This was a small concern, and otherwise our stay was wonderful. The location is quiet, safe, convenient and very beautiful. I would recommend the palazzo (both hotel and residence) highly. One consideration though, is that there are a lot of steps followed by stairs at the entry, so guests need to be mobile.

Spacious apartment, up a couple long flights of stairs. The location is good and the space has good quiet a/c. The only suggestion I would make is to replace the mattress and pillows which have all lost their springiness.

Great room, spacious and classic building. Convenient location. TV did not get major channels. Owner was nonresponsive to email questions including check out coordination. Awkward sharing of entrance with hotel under same name but with clearly separate management, but they were very nice and responsive.

Amazing, luxurious, decorated
What an amazing property! Beautifully decorated and so much space for such a good price! We booked the family room and were emailed prior to arrival multiple times to ensure that we were met when we arrived. Very friendly and speedy in check-in, then we entered our apartment - true luxury! Both a formal and informal lounge, a beautiful kitchen with everything we needed to cook our own meals, two separate dining rooms, couches galore, beautiful views from the windows. Loved it! Will definitely be staying here on our next visit.

From the moment you enter its majestic doors to see the chandeliered entry, then walk up the steps to its grand foyer, Palazzo Odoni is something special. The apartment is spacious, elegant, and lovely in every way. The air conditioning was perfect. Whirlpool tub in the marbled bath was delightful. At night it was so dark and quiet in the comfortable beds. Although we had heard hotel rooms are very small in Italy, this provided all the space needed for a family of four adults with one extra bed. Refrigerator was helpful. We also liked that it is located a short distance from the train station so you don’t need to drag suitcases across Venice as so many were doing. This quieter neighborhood was a good place to relax. Several restaurants were nearby. We were so pleased with this beautiful apartment!

This is a very nice property, in a nice part of Venice, a little further away from the crowd, but still in walking distance to attractions. The stairs to the room could be an issue if you have difficulty moving around. Other than that it is excellent.

Great location - close to Venezia S. Lucia train station and the bus station, so you don't have to travel too far into the island if you have luggage. Received very detailed directions from the owner, which was helpful, and he was there to meet us and help carry our bags up (note: there is a staircase to climb up). Our place was really a home away from home, with lovely Venetian decor, and a small kitchen so we could have a quick bite for breakfast. Although there are really lovely bakeries in restaurants in the area, so those are worth checking out. Also very quiet at night. Overall, really enjoyed staying here and would recommend it!

Dear Mr. Anonymous (your name hidden by "Anonymous), my name is Michele and I am the owner of the Palace. Yes, you booked an independent apartment and you don't have 24 hours reception service.and, of course, breakfast. You had the privilege to stay in a luxury suite/apartment, in a 15th century palace.

Our stay at the Odoni Residence
We spent 3 wonderful days at Residence Odoni over the Easter weekend. We were greeted by the owner who accommodated our last minute requests with great kindness and professionalism. The apartment was very nice and the location just great. It's walking distance from the main sites, yet it's quite apart from the noise of the city center. I couldnt recommend it more strongly.

Dirty linens, plastic lights, no check in staff
Good location close to the train station. No shower, only tub. Stained/soiled linens kept us from using one of the beds. Check in kind of messy (no on site staff). No luggage storage (host let us put bags in a public un-monitored hallway). Host was nice, but stopped responding after a few email exchanges regarding issues mentioned above. Plastic and cheap light fixtures (not a huge deal there).

Dear Anonymous, you booked an independent apartment in my Palace and not a room in an Hotel. This is a 15th century Palace with original 2alla veneziana" floors, original Murano glass chandeliers, original tapestries and high quality linens. I apologize but we don't have dirty linens, we don't have plastic lights and, of course, there is non 24 hours reception service.

We chose this property because it is close to the railroad station and Piazzale Roma and the Campo Santa Margherita. It is also close to most of the sights we were in Venice to see. The apartment is conveniently laid out. The bathroom is spacious; it's only drawback is the steep sided tub that requires caution entering and leaving. There is no maid service on Sundays, but that was not a problem for us. The kitchen is small but certainly usable. The proprietor is a nice man who was helpful at every turn. He gave us a great map of the city, a true necessity in this wonderful place of waterways and narrow streets, some barely wide enough for one person to pass another. The property is approximately 10 minutes from the two major transportation hubs and about 15 minutes from the Academia and the Rialto bridges. We used the boat system to get to San Marco. We found lots of good places to eat nearby.

Great location but...
Great location and helpful staff! The couch bed was very uncomfortable and the regular bed seemed to be slightly slanted. I found it hard to get a good night’s sleep. It was basically clean, but a few ants in the bathroom and the tub didn’t work to give kids a bath. Overall, it wasn’t a bad place to stay and for the price we paid, it was a great deal!

The Property is at a very good place. Highly accessable from the main car and bus stand of Venice city. Only a 3-4 minutes walk from the Palazzo Roma Staion and bus stop. The view is very nice and apartment is very good too. The dineware is also beautiful and everything of need is present in the apartment. Moreover you can walk to St Marks Square and Doges Palace from the apartment it may take 20-30 minutes but you will see the true venice in the way as you pass through lanes and cross bridges.

Well kept place in good neighbourhood. Owners obviously are proud about the apartment that has been around for 5 generations. Keep up the good work. The only down side is that you have to cross a bridge with many steps from the railroad station to get to the island. We had to hire “the people mover” to help us with 4 large luggage. Only 10 min walk, but not an easy task in 35C weather and many steps to pull the luggage. Extra cost of 30 Euros one way.

Venice stay
Stayed in the appartment with a family of 5 for 4 nights. Great location, near all transport links but quiet at night. Effective air con in July, comes with a fridge and a small safe, plenty of places to eat and drink nearby, also next to park. Had a double bed upstairs, 3 single beds downstairs and a table for eating. Wifi supported 3 youtube streams which kept the kids happy. Plenty towels and hot water.

Beautiful suite rooms in peaceful Venice location
Our suite room was huge! The decor felt like being in an actual palazzo. Location was amazing. We got to really feel like locals (a rare thing in Venice!) in this area that’s a little off the main beaten track. Very easy to navigate to though (again a rare thing in Venice!) given the proximity to the train station. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring all of Venice during the day, and then coming back to soak up the peaceful local atmosphere for aperitivo or after dinner drinks.

Nice & quiet property close to train station
Venice is small so there is no need to stay next to tourist attractions where everywhere is crowded. This location is 5 min walk to train station and yet very quiet, even at day time. Coming out of the property and the quiet part of the canal is next to it is a plus. Walk to St Marco takes about 30 min, which is a nice walk. Property is clean and comfortable. Property management is professional and kind. The only con is that there isn't much room for hanging clothes. Overall, it is good for a 4 person family.

The photo of the guest room on Expedia was misleading- it does exist in one of the apartments, NOT ours. The good: great location- very close to the bus, car, taxi stand to enter/exit Venice. Fairly close to train station as well. Interesting architecture- high beamed ceilings on main floor of unit- antique furniture. Perfect for 5 people, a bedroom for two, 3 daybeds in living room. The bad- Walk up- you and your luggage will need to navigate two flights of steep stairs. The inside our unit ANOTHER FLIGHT OF STAIRS FOR BATHROOM. The bedroom and the only bathroom for our unit was located up a spiral type staircase in the attic. This was very challenging for my 80 year old mother in law in the middle of the night. Seperate hotel in building- yummy smell of fresh coffee and bread each morning wafting into unit, but NOT for you! The residence guests are not invited to breakfast and the owner of the hotel is firm (and rude) about this fact. Old carpets - while the apartment itself is fairly clean, there is a musty/smokey/animal urine smell that permeates the hall and main floor. Carpet needs to be changed (especially in hallway) asap. Everything high appears to need dusting too.

Great apartment for your stay in Venice. Has a nice view out your windows of the canals as stated. There are no lifts at this apt. You will have to carry bags up stairs to get to room. No problem. Just open a bottle of wine. Nice places to eat within walking distance. Getting around Venice is a little challenging, everyone very helpful. We were only in Venice for a full day, stopover on our way to Florence. Would definitely return here if we get back to Venice.
