Ca' Rialto House

Absolutely perfect location … a few steps from the vaparetto stop, with the Rialto Bridge in front of you. Check in is in the hotel and then a lovely porter took us to the house behind and carried our luggage up the stairs. The room was just lovely and quite spacious and the bathroom (which due to a virus we got to know well) perfect. We were all sick but could sleep on and off for 24 hours, as our room was the quietest hotel room we have had. If we come back to Venice, we would stay at this hotel again - no doubt about it.

We flew into Venice and came to Ca’ Rialto from 12 hours in the air. The warmth and welcome we received was indescribable. Our honeymoon trip began with a gorgeous room with a view and a complimentary bottle of champagne! The hotel location was front-and-center to so many local niches with food, residents (not tourists!) and cultural eye candy like the Rialto Bridge! Dinner at the hotel restaurant was delicious and the beauty of the City of Venice was all around us! We could not have had a more perfect introduction to the Italian experience and we credit much of that to Ca’Rialto, truly an Italian “home” away from home.

This was a nice room in quick walking distance of some of the best sites in Venice. However, there were steep stairs to climb to our room/floor, so it might not be for everyone.

I would have loved to have given a higher rating for this hotel, because my initial impression was very positive. However, a couple things tipped the scales at the end. Value: This hotel is very conveniently located and easy to find as far as Venice goes. You check in at the Hotel Rialto front desk which is right beside the Rialto bridge. We chose this hotel for the location and relative price in this very touristy area. However, once we arrived, we realized that nothing is far away in Venice. To reach better quality and better priced restaurants and to avoid the crowds, we would walk 5-10 minutes away from the hotel anyway. So in hindsight, we could have gotten a nicer hotel in the type of neighborhood where we actually ended up spending our time. Breakfast here was also not included, but you could get it for 20 euros each. While convenient, you can get a coffee and pastry at most caffes in Venice for under 10 euros (usually only 10 euros for two). I found the quality and selection at the hotel breakfast also sub-par. Cleanliness: One big thing was wrong here, the bottles and cans in the mini bar clearly aren't changed regularly, because there was mold on them... We weren't planning on eating or drinking anything anyway, but this really should never happen. It brought into question everything else. Overall, very prompt and friendly staff, centrally located, and reasonably equipped room. But you will find better value outside of the St. Marks district for a lower cost.

Great location! Staff was very friendly! Nice size room.

Wonderful location and amazing staff — highly recommend!

Just go to Rome guys.

I presume because we booked with ******* we were not treated as a “real guest” we checked in at the Hotel Rialto but were walked out the side door made a couple turns in an alley to a different building where we walked up a bunch of stairs (no elevator in this building) and we stayed in a room as pictured. The tone was definitely different you could tell after watching a few regular guests check in and out. I would not stay there again.

Location is good
