We stayed here for 3 nights in mid-April and were thoroughly pleased. I'm a bit of a paranoid traveler and read the TripAdvisor reviews religiously before booking a hotel. This place seemed to be in a great location and had good reviews so I decided to book it. Prior to our arrival I emailed the hotel and they were very... more

Al Piave is a small and charming Venetian-style hotel in the less touristy district of Castello. My husband and I enjoyed six happy days here. Although it’s the most expensive hotel we’ve ever stayed in, it is fairly priced in a city of exorbitant prices. Our room, a standard double, was spacious enough for us, comfortable, well decorated, and most... more

Stayed here for three nights during Carnival '08. Ultra clean - everything sparkles! Room a little small but well appointed with good sized and fully equipped bathroom. Very comfy bed. Breakfast, whilst not huge, was very good. Well positioned within 5-10 minute walk of St Marco or Rialto but a quiet little backwater - even during Carnival. Only criticism would... more

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel Piave in the fall of 2006. When I decided to return to Venice with four friends in the early November 2007, I returned to the Piave. I was now familiar with the location and knew that the staff was pleasant and helpful. We ended up with one "family suite" and an adjoining... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights after New Year. To be honest we didnt speend mcuh time there but it was fine. We had no probs and it was very cosy. The decor is very dated and breakfast didnt offer many options but apart from that it was fine. We didnt find it particularly easy... more

I enjoyed this hotel. The air conditioning saved me during an unexpected heat wave. The staff is friendly and their breakfasts are great. The location is nice and quiet off a small street. The room were of a good size; the bathroom was average but clean. Quaint decor and views. No elevator - we had to trudge our baggage up... more

Stayed here with my girlfriend over new years 07-08. We were given the "small" apartment. Although it wasn't the largest of apartments it was certainly big enough with a lot of character. The toilet was a particular adventure. The room itself was spotless throughout, cleaned every day including new years day. The linen, dishes, bathroom, kitchen were all immaculate. The... more

We stayed at the Al Piave for three nights in September 2007. The hotel is tucked away in a secluded section on of Venice, about 10 minutes to San Marco square. The isolation was a nice relief from the crowds but absolutely impossible to find the first time or after a couple of glasses of wine. Make sure you have... more

We stayed here for part of our honeymoon and loved it. It's very close to St. Mark's Square (about a 5 minute walk) and the neighborhood was very quiet at night. We rented the studio, which was very spacious. The bathroom was quite big. There was also a living area with a table and chairs, a kitchen stocked with dishes... more
