Hotel Locanda Ovidius — Venice

The hotel's condition was a little bit worse than I was expecting for the ratings I had seen and the price of the hotel. But everything is more expensive in Venice, and more expensive to keep up, so I can't say it was terribly surprising. The location was great, just down the canal from the Rialto bridge. Very close to the Rialto market. The wi-fi was […] a pretty big rip-off. We had to pay 5 Euro for a wi-fi password that only worked in the common areas. So we paid 5 Euro to use wi-fi when there is a computer available anyway. The wi-fi showed up on devices in our room, but the connection was so slow I just used my 3G on my phone. Uzziniet vairāk

I've stayed in some really wonderful places in many parts of the US and Europe , New York, Barcelona, Niemes, Split, and Cancun to name a few. This place will stay in mind as one of my favorites! It was charming, the location was fantastic overlooking the grand canal and close to Rialto bridge, the staff was friendly and helpful, and service was excellent. […] We drove to venice and the hotel staff was kind of enough to walk us through the best place to park in terms of cost and how to access the city from the parking garage. ( a bit of a challenge as things are not marked the way they are in the USA and I don't speak Italian) Uzziniet vairāk

Very centrally located. View of the Rialto bridge from the hotel. Free breakfast was good but with few options. Rooms were comfortable. Very helpful staff but they charged me 5 euros for wifi. But I will help you save 5 euros for a gilato. The password is - hotelovidius

We took the cheapest room and it was the cheapest of any of the hotels I could find. As expected, the room was tiny but had the amenities including a tv. Everything worked. The best part was the location only a few steps from the main canal. I would recommend this hotel based on the value.

Fantastic location and excellent staff, who were incredibly helpful and very pleasent. Decor was in keeping with the whole Venice experience - shabby [but not too shabby] chic. Only slight downside was that our room was a tad on the 'shoebox' side, but not deal buster. One of the best aspects of the hotel were the belconies overlooking the Grand Canal […] and the Rialto Bridge. Surprised it was only 3 stars really. Uzziniet vairāk

This is a well kept and characterful hotel. If you prefer modern, spacious, glittering hotels, with restaurant and bars, this is not for you (though bars and plenty of trattoria are just round the corner). If you want a tranquil hotel with lovely rooms, good service and breakfast, this would appeal. The position is outstanding, just near the Rialto […] Bridge. Our room was overlooking the Grand Canal; the best situated room I have stayed in. Fellow guests were quiet and courteous, and the staff always helpful. Uzziniet vairāk

This hotel had the best views on the Grand canal from the terraces. The rooms were descent. The only downside was that it was a hike from the train station We walked - bad idea (take a water bus it's only 2 stops). The Hotel was great, GREAT location - close to the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Sq.

The staff at this hotel were absolutely great. We definitely received great customer service. Nothing was too much trouble. On our day of departure we were able to use the shower facilities and hotel lounge area. This was brilliant as we had a late evening flight. We were able to leave our luggage at the hotel after we checked out and this enabled us […] to explore more of Venice on our last day. Breakfast was fine. Continental breakfast, as much as you can eat. Plenty to choose from. Uzziniet vairāk

The location of this hotel was very conveniently located almost next to the Rialto Bridge where it was very easy to access vaporetto's (water bus), water taxis, gondolas, restaurants, and shopping. The room (triple) was quite tight with a cot squeezed in for my son but we didn't spend much time in the room anyway. Although the room had no view, the […] hotel did have a nice little balcony overlooking the Grand Canal and the Rialto where we could relax with a glass of wine and watch the world go by at night. The only thing that was a little awkward was that we were required to return the room key (no scan cards) to the front desk everytime we left the hotel and pick it up when we returned. There was always someone very nice at the front desk 24/7 so it became a non-issue. Uzziniet vairāk

Very disappointing! Our room was VERY DIRTY, stained carpet, chipped paint, light fixtures were bent and falling off the walls. The toilet seat was not fastened well and moved whenever anyone sat on it. Mold and water marks on the ceiling. We asked for a water view and got a view of a dark alley. The lift was not working and had to lug our luggage up […] three flights of stairs. Stairway and reception was dark and dingy. I felt like crying. On a more positive note, it was in a great location and the views from the breakfast room and sitting room were outstanding of the Grand Canal. Hotel did not have a map of the area, and most services including wifi was extra. This could be a fabulous hotel, if they would clean the place up. Uzziniet vairāk

Pros: - Great cleaning bedroom with Superb Venetian-style decoration - Room is equiped with Minibar & Small fridge, Venetian-style cupboard with cloth hangers & safe box - Big cleaning bathroom / toilet with Bidet (please google if you don't know what it is) - Jacuzzi bathtub and hair-dryer inside your bathroom. - Fantastic Location: very close to […] the Rialto Bridge (but not noisy), which is in the middle of Venezia, many choices of restaurants. - Breakfast: A proper Continental Breakfast with choices of cereal and yogurt, with salami and ham - Services are friendly and faithfully wonderful; no additional hidden charge (except the City Tax that you are supposed to pay) - You are allowed to leave luggage there; though, you've already checked out. Cons: - Breakfast: Continental Breakfast, so NO Salad and Hot food. - No shower curtain for the bathtub (leading to flooding floor when showering) - For our room, which is not on the Grand Canal side, windows are not supposed to be opened; however, the Air-conditioning unit in the room is very useful. - Our TV / remote control do not work properly; though, we did not ask for help because we're in Venice, which is not the time for watching TV.

Love the location. This was our second stay here. First time we accidentally picked this hotel. Second time we KNEW this was where we wanted to be. Staff friendly great breakfast. Hopefully there will be a third stay!Beds are a little too firm, but this is a minor detail since we were worn out sightseeing.

I did not stay at this hotel - I booked it for my daughter who is backpacking around Europe this summer and staying at hostels. I wanted to surprise her when she got to Venice give her place to stay in the center of action with a feeling of safety and comfort. She emailed me it was perfect! She was beyond delighted with where it was, how nice it was […] and how much she enjoyed her stay. It was a true treat! Uzziniet vairāk

Fantastic location and a true Ventian hotel, steeped in history. Our room was spacious and immaculately clean with good quality snow white linen. The air conditioning was very efficient which was fantastic, as it was very hot during our stay. A modern bathroom with super shower and whirl pool bath and complimentary toileteries. The breakfast was simple […] but more than adequate. The staff were very friendly and could not have been more helpful or accommodating. Verdict: Super stay for a 3* hotel in an ideal location for seeing the magical sights of Venice. Excellent value for money and flying with a proper airline made this a memorable trip! Tips: No kettle in the room, so we were pleased we had taken our own! Uzziniet vairāk

Hotel advantages are it's location to the Grand Canal in Venice ... and it includes breakfast. The room was not great ... small, no working air condition. The safe was too small. The beds were ok, but not great. But was always clean. Not much interaction with the staff.

For a three star hotel my stay was very nice. Were I to rate it very nice however someone will wonder why they didn't get a mint on their pillow. This is an entirely European hotel with an elevator and a shower stall each about 2 1/2 feet square. As of May 2012 The Hotel Ovidius is in two side by side parts. One part has no elevator and residents in […] that part, to reach the breakfast room, must go outside and back in. This might be considered a great inconvenience for many. To join the two parts of the hotel, all that has to happen is for a false wall to be removed, for which the Ovidius is trying to get a permit. The day staff, typically Lucia, was simply delightful; informed and helpful and fluent. (Should you stay tell her Paul says "hi".) The evening and night staffs were equally friendly but appeared less knowledgeable and certainly less fluent in my native language, English. A few of the rooms front on the Grand Canal overlooking the Rialto. Occasionally however the Rialto area gets noisy in the evening so if you're an early-to-bed type like me you might be happier in a less scenic interior room. Views of the Rialto are however available from the small terrace off the breakfast room (on one side of the hotel) or from the veranda (on the other side). Wifi is available in the second floor breakfast room and (so I hear) the first floor sitting room below it. It might stretch to the rooms on either side of these but you probably won't get a decent signal in your room. Uzziniet vairāk

The Hotel is in a fantastic location. Thats where the positives end though. Considering the price it would be one of the worst hotels I`ve seen. Old box TV, old uncomfortable bed, patched up walls, shower door fell off, shower head fell off, unhelpful staff, ordinary breakfast, very noisy. Wouldn`t stay there again and hard to recommend. Very disappointing […] but will provide a few laughs when we think back in a few years time. Uzziniet vairāk

We stayed at this hotel for its central location. We were able to quickly get to the hotel via waterbus and as an added bonus saw the Rialto bridge just steps away. The staff was friendly and wifi worked well for the reasonable one time charge. We stayed in room 103 which was a bit rough. The tile was in need of repair and regrouting, the shower small […] and hot water came only if you beat the other guests. The room was cold and we required extra blankets which they happily provided. The bed was not comfortable as the springs were clearly felt. However the location can't be beat, staff was more than accommodating, and the room had all the essentials. If you are willing to forgo some comfort for an unbeatable location this is a good bet. Uzziniet vairāk

The rooms were super small, and it's very hard to locate. Breakfast was crappy. To get here from the train station you take water bus #1 going left (not right) and get on the S.silverstrone something stop, than you walk thru the tiny streets to the hotel.

It's nice and quiet hotel with nice interior. The exterior is a bit worse. Location is great just a moment from a vaporetto stops and Rialto bridge is few steps away. The staff is nice and helpfull. The room we had was quite small but it's not realy important. The "worst" suprise was breakfast which was only white tost bread, there was no vegetables […] at all (tomatoes or something would be nice) but if you not fussy then it was OK-lots of prepackaged food.

The hotel is just ok really, the location is the main plus point. Its nice that its a small more independent hotel not a chain, but i really felt that for the price, it should offer more all round. The room was fine! Although supposed to be a double superior so i wouldnt like to see a normal double. The buffet was a bit poor, but you are near a lot […] of cafes and bars, not on the water front, but some great ones around near the fish market. Its tricky as i expect that all hotels in venice are overpriced, and due to the nature of my work i am lucky enough to stay in alot of hotels in different couontries, which is why i expected more i think. Ultimately although there was nothing fundamentally wrong and the location is great, i wouldnt stay there again. Uzziniet vairāk

The hotel is right on the Grand Canal and less than a 100 yars from the Rialto bridge. The view from the cafeteria is very good. I noticed that I could hear everything from outside my room window, but fortunately, it was very quiet the night we were there.
