Hotel San Giorgio

Half of the lights were burnt out and most the outlets didn’t work except for one. The bed was very stiff and heavily leaning to one side, it felt more like a hammock and I had to keep myself from falling off the bed multiple times throughout the night. No heat or AC makes it either extremely cold or very hot. We were there in January and were forced to hide under the covers of the stiffest bed I’ve ever felt. Even the staff was wearing winter coats in the lobby. Shower was broken, couldnt raise the height but it was still usable, the water temperature wasn’t really hot and got cold rather quickly. There is a very weird smell in the bathroom and it didn’t help that the shower gets water all over the bathroom floor. There’s no elevator but that’s not a huge deal. The breakfast….. maybe we got there late but unless you wanted dry cereal or an old croissant it most certainly was worth any extra money if you have the option. We went out to look for breakfast both times. The staff seemed very lovely and friendly but I personally wouldn’t ever stay here again.

The hotel can only be described as decaying grandeur. Clean and served the purpose for a brief 2 night stay. Bed was comfy but be prepared for an outdated decor and broken air con, although it was winter when we stay so not a problem. Quirky and we enjoyed our time in Venice but wouldn’t choose to stay in this hotel again. In its day, sure it was very grand and it still has a huge amount of charm but needs updating.

I felt like I went back in time with the theme of the hotel. It was nice. I absolutely loved the location! There were a lot of great restaurants minutes away and it was easy to het around to the touristy areas.

Clean place, friendly staff. My room tiny and dated (why it was relatively cheap). Had decent AC in my room. Couldn't figure out TV! Had staff to explain it. Traveling alone, so size was ok, not sure couples offered my room, but too small for two. No elevator (like so many older Venice places). Not super great location, but walk to San Marco sqr not bad, and useful stuff in immediate area (resteraunts, convenience shop, Italian fast food place, misc other shops.

Easy check in, simple accomodation for exactly what I needed it for. Comfortable and typical venice decor and style. A little overpriced but then it was over the film festival so to be expected.
