We reviewed several hotels and since we had a budget and the US Dollar was weak against the Euro we decided on this one based on our budget. Once we arrived in Venice we were delighted to see that the hotel was away from the masses of tourists, yet close enough to everything. Rooms are small (very small), bathrooms are... more

Last hotel of our stay and the worst. Requested not to stay in apartment, but hotel desk manager paid no attention. Dark, dingy and needs lots of TLC. Plaster was coming off ceiling onto the bed and furniture. No phone. TV did not work even after reporting it to manager. Windows looked out into alley way; very dark and dreary.... more

We have just returned from a two night stay at the Corte Contarina in Venice. We travelled to Venice from Treviso, the easiest and cheapest way to get there is to take the connecting ATVO Eurobus service. Bus times coincide with Ryanair arrivals and departures, and the fare is much cheaper than a taxi, only €5 one-way or €9 return.... more

Was told initially 5* by booking company - it most certainly is not. First room we had was at the top of 4 very steep flights of stairs, chair lift to first two. Shower so small if you weigh over 12 stone you literally wouldn't get in it.( door only slides half way) Bed right against wall and light switch,... more

This hotel is in a residential area of Venice, a nice change after spending all day in this tourist filled city. We stayed in an apartment across the street from the hotel, but after seeing pictures of the hotel rooms, we would have preferred to stay in those. It was clean and the AC was wonderful. Bathrooms were small, but... more

Havin stayed at this hotel in june can highly recommend it ,but make sure you write down directions to get to hotel when you get off vaporetta cos it can be tricky to find. The day receptionist was fantastic & couldnt do enough for us, i was traveling with my mother so he put us in an apartment connected to... more

We have just returned from a 3 night trip to Venice. We stayed at the Corte Cantarina Hotel. We travelled with our 2 children aged 10 and 7 years. We were given an apartment, around the corner from the hotel, which provided us with a great deal more space than we would ordinarily have been allocated (1 bedroom, living room/bedroom... more

This would have been terrible to find without having taken notice of other reviews directions. It's about a 10 minute walk to St Mark's but only two vaporetto stops. The alilaguna bus from the airport stops at the Arsenale - get off here - turn right cross two bridges and walk about two hundred yards up the Via Garibaldi. Turn... more

We stayed at an off site apartment that accomodated our family. It was clean yet the air conditioner was not adequate. We slept with the windows open which resulted in multiple insect bites. Also, the night staff was not helpful. The location is interesting in that it is away from the hordes of tourists in Venice. Be aware that Venice... more
