We stayed at the Pausania for 3 nights in February. I could not imagine a better location. It is on a quiet canal in Dorsoduro - I would always prefer this area or San Polo rather than the noisy and crowded San Marco area. However it is also five minutes FLAT walk (no bridges!) from Ca Rezzonico pier which has a direct boat service to the airport. At the same time, there are plenty of local cafes, restaurants and shops and it is a short walk to the centre. The hotel is in an ancient building and you enter through a small attractive courtyard (currently under refurbishment). All the rooms and the public areas are exquisitely decorated and furnished. The welcome was warm and the service impeccable at all times. The breakfast has everything you can ask for although some eggs would have been nice. Our room was attractive, clean and comfortable - however it had no window (just a skylight) and minimal storage - just one wardrobe and the bathroom also very cramped. This is the only reason for not giving an Excellent rating. For what we paid however this was incredibly good value and we would stay there again.
Excellent hotel in an old palazzo, retaining all of its historic charm, but clean, comfortable, with friendly staff and good value for money in a charming quarter of Venice. The rooms have period features, painted ceilings with cherubs, Venetian glass chandeliers, but modern facilities. Near San Barnaba, and San Margherita, both lively squares, full of bars and restaurants, and also within easy walking distance of the Rialto and the Accademia. It is in a quiet location, has a breakfast room next to the garden, offering a very good buffet breakfast, and a small cosy bar.
In the middle of one of the Venetian residential neighbourhoods, in a C14th Palazzo. Well located for San Marco and the Rialto and near many local gems. Nice service, not modern which is a plus - thank you, would certainly return.
This is a 3 star Hotel, but has the comfort, cleanliness and friendliness far in excess of some hotels with a higher rating. We were on a 3 night package with BA flights at a very good rate, but believe the Pausania to be excellent value if booked directly. It is located in a quiet spot, but only 25 mins from St Marco, 20 mins from Rialto. Good quality linen, towels and in room facilities, and a very nice continental breakfast served in pleasant surroundings.
A great small hotel in a very interesting area of Venice. Within walking distance of many attractions and close to a variety of places to eat and drink the wine. The hotel is in a converted ‘villa’ Old and overlooking one of the smaller canals.
I stayed at the Hotel Pausania first for a business meeting, then my family joined me for a three-plus-day vacation. My single room on the ground floor was comfortable. Our family room on the first floor had sufficient space for three adults and one teenager. Both rooms were comfortable, but I advise asking for one of the rooms in the 200 range, since they are adjacent to a lovely lounge area. The neighbourhood is a quiet one (for being in Venice), and the hotel is close to the Ca' Rezzonico stop on the Alilaguna Orange line from the airport. It is walking distance to several nice restaurants, shops and even a small supermarket for the items you may have forgotten. Breakfast is pretty typical, with rolls, fruit, yogurt, cereal, cheese and meats. The staff serving breakfast was always very friendly. The hotel has a three-star rating, which is about where I would put it. This is not the poshest hotel around, but comfortable and worth the price. Being in a palazzo gives it a lot of charm compared with a generic 4 star hotel. I would stay there again.
We have just got back from a short break in Venice. We were lucky with the weather. This is a charming, great value hotel in a very interesting part of Venice. The room was large and quiet with a great view out of the one window. The staff were helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was a typical continental style. Lots of choice. They let us check in early, but if the room had not been ready we could have left our bags to start exploring. Good location. A genuine neighborhood with lots of students and late night bars and restaurants, but still just a short walk to all the main sites. The bed was very comfortable. I would happily return to this hotel.
We stayed there for three nights; expensive, as most hotels in Venice, a very small room. No drawers, just a small wardrobe, had to keep everything in the luggage. Didn't get fresh soap, shampoo or shower gel after the first night. Queued up in the morning for a scarce breakfast.
Staff is friendly and approachable but the room average condition but small. The location is good and can reach boat jetty easily and place of interest was within walking distance. Overall stay is average.
nice little hotel in a back water from ca'rezzonicca lots of bars and restaurants and great walking access into central Venice as required. good breakfast and very helpful staff. wifi access reasonable on the whole. good air-conditioning. could be a little more generous with the toiletries.
