Hotel La Calcina

A wonderful hotel that fronts the Giudecca Canal. I’ve been a guest three times and the staff and hotel have never disappointed me. The rooms are charmingly appointed, super clean and spacious by European standards. ||And the restaurant, be it for the complimentary buffet breakfast, lunch or dinner has excellent offerings. We happily dined there both of our nights at the hotel this visit. ||The area is walking distance of all of Venice’s sites yet removed from the overcrowding of St. Mark’s Square, Rialto Bridge, etc. ||It is a very short walk to the 5.2 vaporetto that takes you either to the bus to the airport or the Santa Lucia railroad station in only about 15-20 minutes and is only a 5 minute walk to the all important #1 vaporetto line near the Accademia Bridge. ||Every staff member, from the front desk, the bellhop, the cleaning staff to the waitstaff was professional, friendly and helpful. ||When you chose your room, realize there is no elevator, so if you have any mobility issues, reserve a room on the first (second American) floor. ||We will definitely stay there when our travels return us to La Serenissima.

So sad to have left this wonderful place! 🥰 There aren’t enough words to describe the magic I experienced here. You can really feel how well the team works together - always going above and beyond in the most relaxed, genuine way. They’re some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet! I was welcomed with a drink and even able to check in a couple hours earlier than expected. The privacy policy for the Wi-Fi was great, vanity pack adorable, bathroom spotless. Loved having cozy breakfasts on the promenade and their restaurant on the water offers stunning Giudecca views! What touched me too was how the receptionist gave me a private room to change into my departure outfit after I’d already checked out. Such thoughtful service! I’ll miss you all loads and can’t wait to come back.

Convenient but quiet location on the Zattere with good sized rooms for Venice (I didn't feel the need for a canal view) and immaculately clean. Decent restaurant and friendly and efficient staff. Great value and would stay again.

What an absolute gem!! I travelled solo to Venice and stayed for four nights. The hotel is ideally located on the water right by a Vaporetto stop as well as an Alilaguna stop which goes to the airport so it was super easy to get there. The hotel was clean and charming. The staff was so incredibly kind and friendly. I felt like I was so well cared for being there alone. Breakfast was great and varied, and at night it was so peaceful after a busy day of sight seeing to sit outside in front of the hotel with a glass of wine looking at the water. The staff always welcomed me back in with a smile. I absolutely loved the Dorsoduro neighborhood. It was close enough to everything without being in the center of hordes of tourists. There were plenty of restaurants and things to do there, yet an easy walk or Vaporetto ride to any other part of Venice. I had a twin room with a bathroom. It came with a mini fridge and a small terrace, and most importantly, some excellent air conditioning. I highly recommend this hotel. If I return to Venice this is exactly where I'm staying again.

La Calcina... what makes this hotel wonderful is its people!! The employees are all lovely, welcoming, fun and concerned that you have the best time!! They were thrilled to speak with me in Italian, which was such a pleasure! I heard them speaking multiple languages with their wordly guests. It is an absolutely gorgeous hotel with plush old-world decor that feels luxurious! The inside dining area feels like living in a mansion. The waterfront setting with the incomparable blue colors was a punctuation mark! It was our second time at La Calcina and we will be going back again!

We had dinner at the restaurant. It was overall not a good experience. While the staff was friendly, the food was uninspired, not made to bring a taste experience to the guest. The prices however, even for Venice standards, were just over the top. No problem to pay extra in Venice, but then the quality should follow, and that is not the case here.

I was there and asked a nice lady at the bar to open a bottle of wine, because I didn’t have an opener. Then the manager lady engaged and was very rude with me, either because I look young or what, I don’t understand (although it is not an excuse). She said that if the boss of the hotel knows about what I asked for, he would charge me to pay…. If you position as a nice hotel and at the same time you are rude to people and ask money for such things as a bottle opener, then it is just about stealing money Would not stay there ever

My wife and I spent three nights at the hotel in mid June. Not your Hilton, Hyatt or Marriott but a GREAT European/Venetian style hotel with all the feeling of old Europe. The staff were the friendliest I have ever encountered at any hotel. They went over and above to help us navigate Venice and make our stay most pleasant. The lobby and the garden were exceptional for its it old world charm and warmth. The rooms were a bit old fashion and a bit small for our liking but clean and comfortable with updated bathroom. There was no elevator which requires climbing stairs so be aware if your room is not on the ground floor. The location is superb situated on a large canal and board walk surrounded by very nice restaurants. We found the food at the hotel restaurant to be very good and not too expensive. A very nice breakfast with a hot breakfast choice is included with your stay. Thank you Lorella, Martine, Samuel and Johann for making our stay a memorable one. We hope to visit you again one day. Ciao

Quite good with a vegan risotto option. Make a reservation and eat right on the edge of the water. All allergens clearly marked and prices weren't bad!

We had a very nice lunch inside the restaurant. The gnocchi with three shrimp and mushrooms was one of the best I've had. The Antoniana Marec beer I had was a a good IPA style. My wife and daughter had salads which they enjoyed. The staff was attentive and friendly. I wish we had tried a desert. was very

Leisure stay over four days in September. Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Public area decor is comfortable. Restaurant service and food was very good. We had double bed room with a view of the canal. It's noisy at night, so prepare with ear plugs. The room was small but comfortable and could use a decor freshening. Given location, view and overall experience a very good experience.

I stayed at this hotel this past weekend for 3 nights with my boyfriend. The hotel was offering a deal for half off due to the winter season. Upon our late 1am arrival, we were greeted at the front desk and checked in right away. The lobby is absolutely beautiful and decorated in a very classy Venetian way. Our room was comfortable and had character. We also had a gorgeous balcony with a lovely view of the water. Breakfast was served 7:30-10 daily and featured some nice pastries, fruits, and even some hot food which wasn't advertised. The staff was pleasant and helpful at all times. Location was fantastic- 7 min walk to San Marco, the touristy area. It was the perfect distance to have a nice quieter experience but still be close to the action. Also a 2 min walk to the Zattere water bus station which makes transportation very convenient to and from the airport as well as around Venice. Definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking to explore Venice!

Beautiful restaurant and location but terrible service. Brought out my main and appetizer when everyone else just received an appetizer. My friend ordered a sea bass that did not come out until 40 minutes after we had all finished our meals. The waitress said "it's coming out" three times and it still never came out. Also I tried to call the waiter over and he looked at me and looked away.

Beautiful location, excellent food! The gnocchi was superb, tagliolini pesto as well. A bit pricy but that's pretty much what you'd expect from this kind of place. Friendly and smiley service
