Hotel Cavalletto e Doge Orseolo

10/10 Excellent
"We have stayed many times in Venice and can say that this is probably the best hotel we have stayed in. We were met with a very warm welcome at reception by very friendly staff who picked up that it was my birthday and wished me a happy birthday!! Thank you for the complimentary taxi ride to Murano and private tour of one of the main glass factories. Our room can only be described as beautiful and was spotlessly clean with very efficient air conditioning. The view from the room overlooked the canal where many gondolas departed from and was a sight to see them manoeuvring in & out. The bathroom had obviously been recently refurbished as it looked brand new. Only a couple of points, there was a film of tile grout on the tiles by the toilet, a hook needed on the door and a tray for toiletries in the shower would be nice. Breakfast was very busy but service was very smooth and the food selection was huge & catered for all tastes. We didn't get to use the bar facilities but it did very nice with reasonably priced drinks. When we return to Venice, this will be out hotel of choice. 10/10 Thank you."

"Highly recommend staying here. The location is perfect distance to everything. Staff was incredibly kind and helpful. We were a group of 7 and they helped in setting up private transport to/from the airport, plus transport to the train station when we were catching a 5am train. They even had to-go breakfast boxes prepared for us since we’d be missing the included breakfast that morning. Everything was wonderful!"
