Overall Ratings & Reviews Borgo ca' dei Sospiri

Hotel, hotel staff were excellent, The adjacent water-way and trail contained various forms of wildlife and was a pleasure to take a stroll on the trail to town. The hotel restaurant staff were excellent, the food quality was not commensurate with the price. I and my wife decided to splurge just once this trip on a good meal and we spent about 260.00 Euros on the dinner. My wife's lobster plate contained just a sliver of lobster. My tiramisu and coffee was a slice of cake with a splash of coffee next to the cake. I left the restaurant hungrier than when I entered. Staff indicated they had a chef, but no alterations to the meals could be made which makes me believe all meals are prepared beforehand and heated prior to serving. Breakfast is 17 Euros per person. The range of food offered at breakfast is wide and delicious. However, when asked if staff could prepare us an omelet, we were advised it could be done at an additional cost. 17 Euros per person is more than enough to avoid further costs to have a simple omelet made. To sum it up, this is a very nice hotel, but I am less enamored with the restaurant - FYI, there are restaurants in the local town and I kick myself for not seeking out this alternative.

I enjoyed my stay here. From the moment you enter the staff is amicable and help you with anything you need, e.g. taxi, bar, restaurant appointment. The room I got was on the ground floor and it had an area to go outside. The whole place was quiet and lovely. They also have bikes to rent and and an area to ride them alongside the river. They have a restaurant inside the hotel and one beside it, it is about 15 from the Venice airport but overall it was enjoyable.

Great quiet hotel with top restaurant and convenient location

Beautiful property

The best option near Venice

Quiet, beautiful stay

Great place, next to the river and a bike path. Breakfast was just right. Clean, helpful staff. Loved the location

Stayed here previously when travelling out of Venice airport in October. Really liked the stay last time, despite the distance from airport, odd industrial estate setting and getting a room impacted by the slope of the roof. It has a comfy bed, the whole property is generally quite newly fitted out and minimalist classy feel. However, we hoped to rest by the pool area, even if the pool was closed for the season, which it was. The area is being redone slightly so holes and earth around, plus no loungers to be found and no attempt to keep it looking tidy, so very, very unlike the pictures on the listing. Added to this, the room was too warm for us. Despite the listing saying AirCon, it is turned off. We queried this and weren't even offered a fan, despite the room having no standard window opening to a 'normal' outdoor area (it opens possibly to the lift shaft) and the roof light having limited opening. In order to try get some, very limited, airflow we had both open and were subject to noise from a drill being used somewhere below the window (fixed insect frames meant couldn't see out as to where) and still the room was too hot. Last time we stayed there were streaming services but this time the only English language channels were CNN Int'l and France 24, which rather limits enjoyable viewing for a vacation day! Wish we'd picked another, more conveniently located, hotel with either proper ventilation or working aircon, which were available on our dates for about the same cost.

Excellent all round

Staff was very helpful and kind. Always pleasant.

Excellent!! Except that is to far 🙄

We loved it

We are a family of five adults and we had booked three bedrooms. Pros: Clean, well maintained comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms with beautiful surroundings. Cons: very strict, unnecessary and unusual rules for a supposedly four stars hotel verging on draconian leaving us uncomfortable and not at ease which affected our enjoyment. Insect screens in our three bedrooms were damaged exposing us to severe insect bites required medical treatment. Our rooms were right above the hotel restaurant and there was always unpleasant smell particularly in the morning. Would we stay there again? No, unless we don’t have a better option !!!

This property is beautiful! My husband and I were looking last minute for a place in Venice and this was just a 25 minute drive to get a water bus to the center. This hotel is beautiful and classy. Breakfast was delicious and the grounds are well kept. Definitely recommend.

Very beautiful and well kept property with professional staff. Delicious breakfast. Dinner was exceptional.

They were so friendly and accommodating! Language barrier when trying to order food they not only showed me but they called and ordered it and had it delivered!! Shuttle to the train station every day for 5 euros round trip! They went above and beyond every time. Highly recommend staying there if you’re looking to be in Venice but not in Venice. Short train ride into the city made it so much easier on not lugging luggage through the heart of Venice!! The train is comfy has restrooms and is a cool to visit too. Can’t say enough good things about the hotel!

Great place to stay. Restaurant has good food and service. Love this place.

Lovely boutique hotel in a quiet area with an excellent restaurant. Wait staff and front desk help are top notch. Beautiful and comfortable suite room.

Super friendly, willing to help you get to where you need and arrange transportation for you. They have an onsite pool which is maintained daily and always looks brand new. It is a 5 minute car ride to the train station but they can accommodate a shuttle service for you if you are not renting, otherwise it’s about a 20 minute walk, which isn’t too difficult to navigate to.

Amazing people amazing place to stay clean pool.
