My husband and I stayed for 2 nights at Albergo Doni. The B &B was easy to find, and minutes from St.Mark's square. It has a lot of charm too. We stayed in a very romantic room that faces the canal - we could hear the gondeliers in the evening as they passed by. The room had a shared bath which was decent (the toliet was separate). The rooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was typical Italian, very plentiful, and the seating area was cute. The owner gave us a tremendous recomendation for Pizza at Antica Sacrestia - very authentic and some of the best we found in our entire 5 weeks of travel. You can't beat the price for this location.

This was a great location for exploring Venice. Room was basic but fine - and nice to hear gondoliers singing beneath the window. Staff pleasant and friendly. Don't wear socks walking in the halls or to the bathroom though as floors were pretty slippy and I managed to have a bit of a nasty fall. Pillows are hard so was glad to have taken another traveller's advice on bringing my own travel pillow. Breakfast basic - cereal and a roll - but fine to start the day... On the whole though a nice place to stay for the price and location.

Great location and that's it. If you are going to stay in Venice pay a little more and get somewhere that you will be able to get a good nights sleep. Stuffy. mosquitos. towels in need of replacing. poor service from night staff. don't try to turn a light on in the dining room at night (only wifi access area).. or an abrupt staff member will turn off the light and say 'owner only allows 1 light on and walk out again'... globe was about 5watts.

For the solo traveler who only intends to be in the room to sleep, I would recommend staying here. The single room would not fit more than 1 person if attempted. A ceiling fan kept the room at a decent temperature at night (when it was about 72-75 degrees outside) although I am not sure how adequate it would be during a heat wave. 3 single rooms shared 1 bathroom on the floor.

About a 2 minute walk to the San Zaccaria vaporetto stop. About a 5 minute walk to the Grand Canal. Not a bad price (60 Euros a night) considering the Redentore holiday weekend. Be prepared to pay in cash. Breakfast included yogurt, juice.
