Charming hotel, great location, and very comfortable beds
I had a lovely stay at Hotel Centauro in Venice and would happily stay here again. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the breakfast was very good, with a nice selection and made-to-order cappuccinos, which was a great way to start the day.
The hotel is very centrally located near St. Mark’s Square, but just far enough off the main paths that it stayed relatively quiet. I visited during Venice Carnival, and it was nice to return to a calmer street after the crowds.
I stayed in two different rooms during my trip. Part of my visit was solo, so I booked the single room, which is small but workable for one person. It has a private bathroom located down the hall (not shared) with a toilet and shower. Just note that it’s quite compact — if you’re tall, the toilet may feel a bit tight (I could practically rest my elbow on the sink while sitting!).
One of the other rooms I stayed in had a small balcony, which I really enjoyed.
A couple helpful things to know: like many historic buildings in Venice, there is no elevator, and the city tax is collected on arrival.
As a solo traveler, I felt very comfortable staying here. The location, comfortable rooms, and good breakfast made it a great base for exploring Venice, and I would definitely stay here again.
