Hotel Antigo Trovatore

Convenient location for public transport & plenty of shops & restaurants. Good access to the hotel as the nearby water bus stops are convenient for the water buses to and from the train station & airport. Very clean & comfortable room & bathroom. The room & bathroom were on the small side but manageable and functional and having the balcony added to our comfort. The shower area was big but the shower head was very high up on the wall though it was detachable for those of us that are short and there were also good toiletries provided. Good tea/coffee making facilities & the bed was very comfortable & the location quiet so we slept well. The staff were friendly & helpful - providing info about the water bus strike & we also needed information about the French air traffic control strike & our flight situation that the receptionist helped us with. On the day of departure there was heavy rain and the receptionist kindly gave us an umbrella which we greatly appreciated (we passed it on to an arriving passenger at the airport to use for their stay in Venice!). We liked the hotel & the location and we had a very enjoyable stay in Venice.

A great place to stay. Very friendly staff. Superbly located on a quiet street just behind plaza san marcos. A short walk to the vaporettos, the Venetian aquabus system. Lots of great restaurants nearby. Of course , that is not surprising in venice, but there were some nice local coffee shops and places to get snacks as well as gelato within 10 meters....and that's not always the case. It makes for great base to explore venice. Walk half a block and turn to your right and go see san marco and all the tourists and craziness. Turn to your left and explore a quieter venice.

No need to think twice—just choose this hotel! It was the most impressive choice during my trip to Italy. After taking the 5.1 or 4.1 boat from Santa Lucia station, it's less than a five-minute walk to the hotel, located right next to the Doge's Palace, in an impeccable spot. There are also delicious gelato and Italian restaurants nearby. All the staff members were extremely friendly, and the lady serving breakfast was warm and attentive, checking on how you were enjoying your meal. The front desk also proactively asked if you needed assistance. The room was unbeatable, with views of the Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Campanile while enjoying the sea breeze. Yes, I have arrived in Venice! Thank you to this hotel for the wonderful memories!

Excellent location. Great bakeries, bacaros, and restaurants right there. Close to the Vaparetto stops, Ali Laguna blue line to the airport and San Marco! The staff - Florence, Isabel and the two gentlemen at the front desk whose names I can’t recall were perfection. Thank you so much. The lady who cleans the room was fantastic. The perfect hotel experience. So clean and quiet. Great rain head showers. Stay here if you can!

The location was excellent. Vaporetto stop at the end of the street, restaurants across and at the other end of the street. Easy few blocks walk to San Marco, about 10 min walk to the theater La Fenice. The place was clean, and it has an elevator from the first floor up. You have to walk 19 steps from the street level to come to the reception. The breakfast was good and the staff in the dining room lovely.
