Hotel Cavalletto e Doge Orseolo

Best location, delicious breakfast, and amazing staff. Would be happy to stay again.

Hotel Cavalletto e Doge is in an excellent location, close to Piazza San Marco, and looking over a basin or parking area for Gondolas. One of my highlights was gazing out from my breakfast table to watch the Gondolieri come to work, and get ready for the day and start leading tourists out along the canals. The hotel staff were all friendly and helpful. The hotel is in need of an upgrade, and is rather faded, and the room itself looked like it could use a makeover. Somehow, this made it very like the faded glory of Venice, so we got used to it.

We wanted a canal view rom which we really enjoyed, but if you’re a light sleeper it’s very noisy. The gondoliers keep there gondolas there. They start getting them ready at 6:30 am and you hear people until midnight. Although we Ike’s watching them it was hard to sleep. Hotel had great service and was clean. The breakfast was very good, a lot of selections.

Nice place. Was worth the extra to get the room facing the Canal. It is one of the big points people catch gondola's from. There is a little Italian place to eat just in the same alley that was really good food. The breakfast was ok. Overall it was a nice place and fun stay!

On arrival we were allocated a room which was dark and dIsmal. I alerted reception and we were shown a brighter more inviting room which suited us fine. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. We had a great stay at hotel.
