Hotel Ai Cavalieri

We stayed at the Hotel Ai Cavalieri from November 30th to December 4th, 2025, and we have nothing but high praise for the staff, the location, the breakfast, and the comfort - a real gem!||The hotel has 33 rooms or so, and is built for servicing a small number of guests, which we appreciate. It's location is near the hustle and bustle of the city (maybe a 5 minute walk), but practically hidden away from it all as it's positioned in a building (a former nobleman's house, we were told) on an oh-so-quiet narrow street. A small supermarket is perhaps 75 meters from the street entrance, which we used more than once to pick up snacks and beverage. ||The breakfast was buffet style, and worked perfectly for us, with a variety of juices, breads, fruits, yoghurt, delicious fresh cakes and savories, and warm foods (scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, mixed vegetables). We had daily cappuccinos with our breakfast, but all manners of warm drinks were available. The staff were attentive and friendly, definitely adding to the pleasantness of the surroundings.||One evening we visited the Hotel's BAT Bar, and had lovely cocktails in an absolutely gorgeous setting to background music of Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and other easy jazz from the that period. Wonderful - not inexpensive, but worth it. Our bartender was splendid and engaging. ||The reception staff were knowledgeable and helpful on all matters, always with a smile :-)||The building itself was a period piece of Venetian style and grace. ||For those who want an intimate, warm and pleasant stay, this is a strong option. As you can tell, we really, really liked it and felt right at home there. It was a wonderful launch point for a magical visit to Venice.

We had a great experience at this hotel. Wonderful location - super close to all of the main sights, great and safe area around it, and very convenient since it has its own dock! ||The rooms were very classic Venetian style but also very well maintained and clean. The huge marble bathroom was definitely a highlight and made the stay feel super luxe. Special shoutout to the shower because the water pressure was insane and made it feel like I was in a spa. Definitely great when coming back from a long day of walking / sightseeing. ||Also the included breakfast was awesome. Good spread, solid options, great juices, and nice service. Overall highly recommend. ||One tip for taking advantage of the dock - it's cheaper to book transport via private water taxi on your own than going through the hotel. We used Consorzio Motoscafi Venezia.

We stayed 1 night and first just love the decoration vibe of the room. But except curtains can’t close due to missing a curtain track and to fix this took the reception a longtime… in the end, nothing is fixed. They offer to change room and snacks from mini bar. This management is really poor especially compared to our stay in a much much nicer 5 star hotel!

We would like to share our heartfelt Thank you! We had the privilege of staying at Ai Cavalieri hotel last week. Our Suite #204 was immaculate, clean and service was amazing. We greatly appreciate Sam and the crew for taking care of us including taxi service with guide to the Island of Murano and factory and shop visit. Thank you for the complimentary champagne and great stay. Respectfully, Ani Yeremyan and Family

Perfect location! Only a few minutes to walk just about anywhere. Beautiful facility with clean, spacious, elegant rooms. The staff were very pleasant and gave great recommendations for food … which was only moments away down beautiful walkways and alleys. This was our first trip to Venice and I can’t imagine a more perfect location. Out water taxi was only a 15 minute ride from the train station. Wonderful experience.

Lovely hotel with beautiful Venetian decor. Very comfortable room, fabulous bathroom!! Breakfast buffet was amazing. Staff exceedingly helpful and friendly. Would definitely stay again.

I absolutely can’t imagine anyone rating the hotel less than five stars. The rooms are lovely, the housekeeping perfect and the wonderful breakfast staff without compare. This was our second stay. We hope for more.

This was the second time for us to spend a week in Venice at Hotel Ai Cavelieri. What a treat! The hotel is just an easy 10 minute walk away from St. Mark’s piazza or the Rialto bridge, but far enough away to be away from the tourist traffic. This converted palace is just so beautiful. The rooms are appointed elegantly. (Check out their website) It has water access for private water taxis which makes getting there from the airport, a breeze. (The hotel can set that up for you.)||All of the staff at Ai Cavelieri are just great. Every one of them. They are true professionals at their job. Knowledgeable and engaging to the guests. I feel it necessary to mention Antonio, Valeriu, and Alvice at the front desk and Enrico in the dining room. They truly made our stay very, very enjoyable and memorable!||We hope to return to Venice someday, and I’m sure we will once again stay at the Ai Cavelieri!
