From May 6th to 12, 2012, my wife and I lodged at the Hotel Violino d'Oro as part of our 40th wedding anniversary celebration. The hotel is nicely set on a small square proximate to a church and a canal, less than five minutes' walk from Piazza San Marco and vaporetto transport on the Grand Canal. Hotel staff were, to...

My wife and I stayed in Violino D' Oro room 203 on May 5th, 6th and 7th. We had never been to Venice and made our reservations via the internet after which I exchanged several emails with the hotel staff who did an excellent job of addressing my many pre-travel questions. We were impressed with the hotel location and exterior.... More

This is a well located property spread over two buildings. Little pricey for what it offers and lack of elevators makes it a STRICT NO for those travelling with heavy luggage. Rooms are clean, nice and basic. It's location is the high point and staff is very friendly in a town which we found to be quite rude.

Having said that. We enjoyed the breakfast of bread and cheese, cereals... More

The walk from the San Marco terminal was less than 5 minutes. We were greeted by a friendly receptionist and check in was very fast. The... More

1. PERFECT location: close enough to Piazza San Marco w/o the noise & beautiful views of the adjacent canal from our lobby terrace. 2. AMAZING value: beautiful 3 star hotel including yummy breakfast where they will make you your own cup of espresso, cappucino, latte, etc. Yes, the rooms are smaller than we're accustomed to in other cities, but this...

We had a back room which looked onto an internal courtyard, but as we were out most of the time it really didn't matter. What did matter is that it was adjacent to what must be the main boiler flue which was surprisingly noisy. However, after walking for miles each day sleep came easily! The room was adequate and the... More
