Casa Accademia

I arrived in Venice by train, and transit to the property was direct and easy via regularly-scheduded boat service from the train station. My departure from LDaVinci Airport was simple and direct, also a shourt walk from the boat pier (but via the canal to the south) which made several stops enroute but delivered me right to the airport - complete with moving sidewalks and escalators direct to the gates! Friends stayed directly next door for THREE TIMES THE PRICE ... need I say more? Nice breakfast is available at a reasonable cost, and can carry you through to dinner.

We were surprised when we arrived that this hotel had been rated so highly. Our room was not very nice, and it was also not very clean. The shower head was spraying everywhere, there were dead bugs on the wall, and the toilet and shower were not clean. We were excited to leave.

Great hotel in general. But watch out for the bed bugs. They need to do a pest treatment asap.

This hotel is tucked away down a quiet alley so it is very easy to walk past it. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly. The lobby and lounge are open attractive spaces. Standard breakfast but staff generously restock up right until the end of breakfast. Restaurant a couple of doors down alongside the canal has good quality food. Straightforward room. They have a couple of outdoor areas with good seating for guests. Location excellent with short walks to the Guggenheim and several museums and churches Really good value hotel and I would happily stay there again.

We used a vaporetto to arrive at this hotel and their instructions were easy to follow. Our room was spacious and clean. Our air conditioning worked well, which helped in this heatwave. We ate at the breakfast buffet each morning, as we thought it was adequate food for the price of 8 euro. I was happy to enjoy as much coffee as I wanted! The staff answered all questions and were welcoming each time we saw them.

Superb location, 5 minutes walk from Accademia or Zattere vaporetto stops. Very near Santa Maria della Salute, Peggy Guggenheim gallery, and the English church. We chose Casa Accademia to be able to participate in the Redentore festival and it proved ideal, very near to the votive pontoon bridge, Redentore church, the Saturday night fireworks, and the Sunday rowing regatta. The room was very basic but with good bathroom, shower, bidet, kettle, mosquito repellent device, air conditioning. No TV (great!) but could have done with a small fridge and maybe a safe. There are a couple of covered outside terraces, one with good views to Salute. Cleaning, towels changed only on request. Electric adapters needed and reception has a drawer full to borrow. Reception only staffed during the day so don’t lose your key! Breakfasts (€8) were OK if you like croissants and ham but for us the selection of fruit was very limited and of poor quality. The takeaway breakfast we needed for our early morning start on departure was terrible, a rubber croissant, some dry biscuits and a black liquid banana which soaked everything. Several good restaurants nearby, and a Conad grocery store on the Zattere.
