Hotel Antico Doge - a Member of Elizabeth Hotel Group

A genuine medieval Venetian hotel, where necessary combined with modern architecture and furnishings. All the staff were very kind and helpful. We were given a room in the middle of the building (behind the reception) based on our reservation and on seeing it on the spot, we were given another one immediately on request. The hotel and our room were very clean (looking under the bed for stuff to roll under, no dust bunnies there either). All services in the room worked well, including the safe. Breakfast for us was plentiful and varied (cereals, yoghurt, juice, tea, coffee, salami, cheese, butter, jam, scrambled eggs, baked ham, fruit, cakes, pastries). What we ran out of was made up. Due to the size of the "restaurant", there are three options for breakfast. Tables are for two, but can be put together if, for example, a family needs one. The entrance to the hotel opens onto a small canal, and the pavement in front is very busy, but this is not noticeable with the window closed. Not far away (about an 8 minute walk) is the stop for boat line 1 (Vaporetto) and a gondola crossing (Traghetto) on the large canal to the market opposite. Right next to it are good restaurants in the basement of the building next door and within walking distance. At the hotel we were given a small map of Venice, and information on everything we were interested in (where to find what, how to get there, ...).

This is a very charming little hotel a little off the main tourist area, but close enough for you to explore Venice and visit the main tourist sites. Close to the main canals for transportation around the city, but closer to the lesser known part of Venice above the fish market which is exceptional. In and around there are great local restaurants and shops. The hotel is small and the people very friendly with a nice e breakfast to start the day. We loved it!

We opted for a suite which was very comfortable with a bathroom and a powder room, decorated in typical Venetian brocade and very attractive. Breakfast was good. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We liked the location, 4 minutes from a vaporetto stop, close to the Rialto bridge and Piazza San Marco. Lots of restaurants in the area.

The hotel and our room were very charming and felt like old world Venice. The location is right in the heart of so many things. Very easy to walk and see all the places in Venice. The free breakfast was delicious! The staff was friendly and helpful.

The hotel employees were very good and supportive. The housekeeping came and cleaned our room while we were taking the breakfast. Room style.
