Ca' Dogaressa

We booked the room with canal view. The room was great, very big. Good amenities, service, nearby cafes and restaurants all while being in walking distance to/from the train station. My only complaint is that from our room on the 2nd floor (Room 5) the lights shining in the Ca Dogaressa sign on the outside of the building make the room very bright at night. The curtains are in a fixed position and cannot be drawn shut. The lights do not dim or turn off until 11:52 PM (I was still awake when it happened). Attached are photos of how bright the room is prior to then. You really should turn the light off sooner, or allow the curtains to be drawn shut.

Fantastic stay right on the canal! This hotel is intimate, clean, with spacious rooms and a great location. It’s just enough off of the beaten path where you feel you are secluded, but the main areas of Venice are still very accessible/walkable. Check in is located at the Hotel Leone just down the street as the Hotel Ca’ Dogaressa does not have its own reception area. The hotel is in the same neighborhood as many great restaurants, which is incredibly convenient. Would absolutely stay here again!

The hotel is one kilometre from the Santa Lucia station and the bus stop for the Ali laguna airport water bus is a stone’s throw away. This hotel has such unique interiors-very “Venetian”. The room was neat and clean. Good location at a great price point. Definite recommend

We stayed 3 nights in this lovely hotel on the edge of the Jewish quarter and within easy walking distance to the train station as well as an easy 30min walk to Piazza San Marco. The canal at which the hotel is located looks very nice and it is not as busy and crowded as many other canals in Venice. As we were in Venice mainly for the Biennale, we did not spend a lot of time in the hotel itself, but the time we spent there was very pleasant and comfortable.||We had a nice, spacious, double room on the first floor without canal view but we didn't really miss that. Also the bathroom was well equipped and spacious and nicely decorated, just like the room itself, in a traditional style. The bed was pretty comfortable. All the windows could be opened but there was also airco, which was working well and pretty quiet. There was just a small TV, but we didn't use that. We sure did enjoy the coffee and tea facilities in the room.||The hotel does not offer breakfast, but there are several good breakfast cafes in the area. Check-in and -out for the hotel is actually in another hotel along the same canal, closer to the street from/to the train station.||One of the best things about this hotel was the staff, which were all very friendly, professional and helpful. This applies to reception as well as housekeeping. We also much appreciated the early check-in.||We would definitely consider staying here again when next in Venice.

The room was very authentic and fun. The hotel has no elevator, but I knew beforehand. The service was excellent. You have to check in at the hotel down the street, and they were very nice. Bed was a bit hard, but not unbearable. The bathroom was very good. Something the room could use is new pillows. You can buy great pillows on Amazon that are inexpensive. The pillows in the room are rock hard. It would change the experience for the better with little investment.

Very disappointed in the superior double room. The shower head does not have a clip to hold it in place, nor is there a shower curtain. In order to shower, you have to hold the shower head with one hand, and will inevitably spray the whole bathroom with water. (See picture attached.) We were placed on the highest floor, there is no elevator, and the view from our window is of the neighbor's roof. This does not feel like a "superior" room. Additionally, the bed is very hard and the pillows feel like rocks! Not a comfortable stay :(

This is such a lovely hotel and I can’t say a bad thing about it. I picked it because of its proximity to the train station (10 minute walk) and water taxi (3 minute walk). The room we stayed in was spacious, comfortable, and overlooked the canal. Check in and check out were both quick and easy. It was a 30 minute walk to the main attractions but only 10-20 for the restaurants I wanted to eat at. I would absolutely stay again!

We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights with our small children and had a fantastic time. The hotel is located in an area not flooded by tourists and there are a handful of small restaurant and bars within seconds. We walked easily to San Marco and back. Our room had 3 windows overlooking a canal, which was a big plus. The room was spacious for all of us and the bathroom was also roomy and very clean. The hotel does not do breakfast, but you will not suffer this as there are plenty of places around..! The staff was very attentive and responsive, we will be back..!

Great location. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. We took the night train and they made a special effort to have our room prepared for free early check in. Clean beautiful room with a large bathroom and cute little bathroom products. PS Best tiramisu I've ever had in the cafe downstairs

Pro: Cheap rate Free wifi Has A/C Free breakfast (options to have breakfast in bed or outside next to the canal) Beautiful decorated rooms Has TV&fridge Provide shampoo, soap, toothbrush and toothpaste as well as towels Front desk is 24hrs Free map of Venice You can borrow books (regular reading to Rick Steves) Con: No shower curtain Shower head is weak Our bed seems like two twin beds put together Every time you leave your room you are supposed to give your key to the front desk.

Somehow I accidentally booked the junior suite when I thought I was booking a standard double. So, imagine my surprise when the door was opened and I found myself with a gorgeous room with windows looking out onto the Cannaregio canal. The room was beautiful with what I assume is traditional Venetian decorating. Our room had green accents. The Murano glass chandelier was stunning. It was an awesome experience to hang out of the window and take pictures up and down the canal. Oh, and wave to the people on the vaporetto, of course! The mattress was a little harder than I prefer, but my bf had no issue. I'd say the only real downside was the tub with a hand-held sprayer and no shower curtain around the tub. I can't remember ever taking such a well-calculated shower as I labored not to soak the entire bathroom with one swing of the nozzle. But the water pressure was good and the water was hot. I originally chose this hotel based on it's location. It's very easy to find from the train station and it's just far enough off the beaten path to be in a quiet area that makes you feel like you're in Venice, not just in tourist-land. There are vaporetto stops that are very close to the hotel. They came in handy as we wanted to go to Burano and the 4.2 which takes you to Fond Nove so you can catch the #12 is in easy walking distance. We loved our stay. If I ever find myself traveling back to Venice, and I hope I do, I would definitely book a room.

Loved everything about this hotel. Convenient location, beautiful brand new looking bathrooms, and nice owners. Will give you a deal if you pay cash. Beds were more comfortable than most in Europe but no pillow top like in the US. Would definitely stay here again if we come back!
