Luxury on the canal by ncoutroulis Written Thu, Oct 23, 2003 Description: Step outside the hotel, and you're right on the canal. This is 5 star luxury all the way. Every part of this hotel is just beautiful, from the lobby, to the rooms, to the facade. It's not cheap, but it's worth the splerge. Customer Satisfaction Index:

Read More This is it- you have found THE place to stay while in Venice, Locanda Orseolo is perfect. The locanda itself is both charming and beautifully appointed, in rich shades of red and exposed wood. Beautifully lit with traditional Venetian glass fixtures and such. The locanda staff is so friendly, so helpful, you'll leave feeling like you've made new friends. The breakfast each morning is delectable... made to order crepes and omlettes, a buffet of cheeses, meats and fruit, freshly made cappucinos and espressos. The rooms are extremely spacious, especially by Venetial standards... and so elegantly decorated. Ours had a view of a canal...heaven. And the bath is the most modern I've encountered in Europe. I highly highly recommend this place to you... We will ONLY stay here upon our returns to Venezia. A double room is priced between 140 euro to 240 euro depending on the time of year. Close Unique Qualities: Located just a minute's walk off the San Marco arcade.. within a little iron gate- a very discreet location... EVERYthing about this place is outstanding... location, rooms, staff, breakfast, decor, coziness, elegance.... Barbara & Matteo- truly outstanding owners and friends Customer Satisfaction Index:

Read More We have just returned from Venice and stayed at the L O for 2 nights after finding the hotel on this site. You may find plusher hotels, you may find hotels with bigger rooms but I guarantee you will not find a hotel where you will feel more comfortable. Matteo, Barbara, Bruno and Francesco are so warm and welcoming even as you first set foot through the door that within minutes you will feel as if you have known them for a lifetime and you are returning to visit old friends. No other hotel can match this. If you are thinking of visiting Venice this is THE ONLY HOTEL TO BOOK-unless of course my wife and I need your room for our next visit - and we will be returning. Best wishes to Matteo and Barbara for their wedding in January. Close Unique Qualities: Warmth of welcome, excellent service, central location. Climbing out of the window if you decide to get a taxi ;) If you get lost Matteo will come and find YOU! With the Basillica BEHIND YOU walk to FAR END of St Marks Square and walk through the archway Pauly glass will be on your LEFT. ... Read More Warmth of welcome, excellent service, central location.

They made us feel very welcome and at home, greeting us by name when we left or came back. The room was comfortable and clean. There is no better breakfast around. As part of our tour package we received a free night's stay and breakfast at the Cipriani. Barbara's breakfast was by far the best. The staff is very helpful. GiGi (sorry, not sure of spelling) offered to get our luggage from our previous hotel. Next time I go to Venice, this is where I will stay. Close Unique Qualities: Best breakfast. Out of the way location but very close to Piazza San Marco. Friendly, helpful staff. Customer Satisfaction Index:

Read More We stayed here for two nights in the Spring of 2004. Amazing location, just steps from St. Marks. The owners, Barbara and Matteo, besdies having just stepped off the pages of GQ, are the nicest folks you will meet anywhere in the World. They are perfect concierges to the city. They are also impeccable operators. Matteo made us breakfast at 6 in the morning beacuse of an early flight. They make the place. I'm exacting about accomodations and this place is terrific! The rooms are new, clean, and nice. Like most things in Venice, space is a bit tight. Also, be sure to ask for directions. The place is literally a one minute walk to St. Marks, but it's a little confusing. Without a doubt, this is the place to stay. They will make it so. Close Customer Satisfaction Index:

Following smooth arrangements, the welcome was very friendly and our en-suite third-floor room was immaculate, with temperature control, comfortable bed, and a view of a canal. The buffet breakfast was very good. What is widely recognised as outstanding about this place though is the quality of service and in particular, a genuine friendliness on the part of the owners. Apart from helping one get the best value from one's stay, they can be relied on to help out if there are any problems. My only minor criticisms were the lack of a kettle/cups in the room and a decent English-language non-news channel on the TV! Otherwise very highly recommended and deservedly made it to #1 Close Unique Qualities: Friendliness, helpfulness and flexibility of service. Immaculate condition of premises.
