To have a good restaurant on the roof would be superb.

The location could not be better on the lagoon front. The hotel is a little faded, but the location and delightful staff make for a very 'homely' stay. The hotel does not have a restaurant despite the view of one on the website. Breakfast is served on the roof top which obviously was the restaurant previously, lovely views over the lagoon and towards the Grand canal. Plenty of croissants, pastries and an option of cooked eggs etc is available. Coffee is good. Our room was spotless, good bathroom and great view.

While the hotel is conveniently placed for St Marks Square, unfortunately outside the hotel there are many tourists in large groups and a lot of street vendors trying to sell souvenirs. Our bedroom and bathroom were cramped and the shower cabinet was not user-friendly. Boat traffic on the canal outside our window was noisy. At over 400 euros per night, it is not good value for money.

A copious breakfast in a rooftop restaurant with good views. The staff at reception were friendly and helpful.

Weather was poor so I was cold in the room on the first night… this was remedied once reported .Bar on third floor was disappointing… it was a type of conservatory..and appeared to be leaking water. It was quirky and did not spoil the experience

Staff friendly and competent….

It was cold when we were there due to heavy rain but there was no heating in the room. So after getting wet no warmth. Extra blankets and kind staff but surely just turn on heating and off again if it warms up. Lounge could use a make over to be more inviting and comfortable. It should be a pleasant place to have a hit drink or cocktail when it’s wet as obviously the terrace not possible.

Location excellent Enjoyed arriving and departing the hotel by boat Staff attentive

The mattress and sheets were a little too hard.

Fatima was great! We arrived like 10 minutes late for breakfast and she went and served us.

A few things not working, such as the main lift, the bar terrace closed. Wifi was a little patchy. Only big grumble was no complimentary drinking water in the room. But nothing major. It was rather expensive, a five star price in any other city - paying for location no doubt.

The locanda has a spectacular location facing San Giorgio Maggiore and the entrance to the Grand Canal next door to the Vivaldi church of the Pieta. I was given possibly the best room in the place, a corner room looking out onto the whole lagoon vista. The interior is in a plush classic style, typically Venetian. The room itself was beautifully decorated in a sort of Baroque style and had electric blinds for privacy. The bathroom was beautiful too. Breakfast was very simple in a cramped room down below. There is a bar terrace but that was closed for renovation of some kind. Staff were young and helpful throughout. Loved the Vivaldi themed soaps in the bathroom.

Excellent location. We paid extra for a lagoon view and it was worth it!….The room was lovely, the staff friendly and the breakfast was varied and prepared to order and the servers were lovely. We could not have wished for a better hotel.

Location was good and the breakfast was nice.

Normally hotels keep a complimentary bottle of water in the rooms which were not kept & a hot kettle to make tea/coffee would be much appreciated. Also, the hotel didn’t have a kitchen so no room service was available.

The view ofcourse. It was phenomenal to wake up to the wonderful views of the canal. This is the biggest plus point of the property.

it was not stated at the hotel info ( booking.com) that after 17.00 there is extra charge on arrival for moving over from Santa Chiara hotel to Locanda Vivaldi (70 e ). The info were not mentioning about it.The hotel was included to those with parking space !!!

Breakfast quite basic but good. Polite and helpful staff. Excellent Location. Limited but sufficient space in the room - recommended for short stay only.

Fantastic location, close to Piazza San Marco, but not too close, lovely big rooms, good bathrooms, little balcony overlooking canal, with side views of lagoon. Easy strolls to San Marco, Rialto, L'Accademia etc, loads of restaurants, shops, churchs, sites etc. Staff very friendly and helpful, recommended a great restaurant, got a water taxi straight to/from the steps of the hotel.

Location is just perfect, just across the ferry to take you to the other islands. St Mark square is pretty much close aswell. It's easy to get lost around the labyrinth style of little alleys around Venice, which that's what makes it special. So having your hotel close to St Mark square is a bonus, cause all streets lead to it.

Very dark room overlooking building work. Non of the reception staff were particularly friendly or welcoming. Porter was always cheerful. Overpriced for what it was. A reasonable 3 star rather than the 4 stars it is accredited with.

Good location.

Loved this little hotel, the location is a very short walk from St. Mark's Square & overlooking St. Mark's basin. The room was clean, and service exceptional (call out to restaurant staff as nothing was too much trouble). The rooftop terrace is lovely for drinks, with the perfect view & people watching.

The location was perfect overlooking the water, the rooftop restaurant had amazing views and the food was divine
