Hotel Fontana

Traditional, family-run Venice hotel ideally located in the heart of the Castello near San Marco. The hotel is modest, with smallish rooms, but it is impeccably clean and run by an incredibly warm and helpful staff, likely reflective that this is a family-owned establish and the owners are regularly onsite working the front desk and making sure things run smoothly. I come to Venice every year for work and this has been the best value for money of all my trips so far. I will definitely be back.

Excellent location, close to everything, including the boats to the airport. We get a super nice bedroom with terrasse (with sofas and table, room number 11) and views to S. Zaccaria church. Very clean, towels were changed every day. The minor inconvenient was the shower, that is a small bathtube but manageable after some 'training' :-). BIG ADVANTAGE: this hotel has a lift!!!. Staff was smiling and welcoming, they provided us with some hints to visit and move around. I recommend the breakfast buffet, good coffee and pastries. We would stay there again.

The location was excellent to see all that Venice has to offer. We took the Alilaguna water transportation from the airport to the San Zaccaria stop. From there it was a 4-5 minute walk that was fairly easy pulling our luggage as it was flat with no canals to cross. The hotel is family owned and operated. They spoke English and were very accommodating and helpful with directions. Saint Marks plaza, basilica, Doge’s palace, and the canals are a short 5-10 minute walk.

The location was great, just behind San Zachariah water shuttle stop and very close to San Marco square. The breakfast was good too, there were varieties of tea coffee and some fruits. It was OK.

Location 10/10 and the room we got was 10/10. I travell a lot, asked for top floor room with a good view and they gave me room with terrace to inside yard with a view to a church. Quiet place full with restaurants and bars around. Enjoyed every minute in that place, It was real Venice I felt in that hotel. The staff itself were very helpfull, especially Diego, who gave us direction were to go and what to visit. The room itself was good, i Wouldn say it was superb but it was good for the value we paid. Always stay in this hotel, because comfortable bed, good wifi, cheap breakfast for 9€ (cheaper then outside hotel) and most of all its staff. Surely comeback with my childrens and ask for the same room :)
