We loved Hotel Becher! The location was perfect for rapid fire touring of Venice, as it was just a 5 minute walk from San Marco square. It is also steps from a quaint smaller square, but the name escapes me. It is located on a canal with a beautiful bridge adjacent to it. Our room had a small balcony to take advantage of the view. It is air conditioned, and it even kept pace with the extraordinary early August heatwave. The staff are unbelievably sweet and very attentive. Also, a delightful buffet breakfast is included in a charming little cafe on the bottom floor, with coffee drinks made to order. So pleased with our stay!

The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and the included breakfast was quite sufficient. Their fresh mixed juice was very good! Water temperature and pressure in the bathroom was decent. The rooms are decorated in an old fashioned way, which may appeal to some but not others. Our room did have some slight damage which can be fixed (hole in the arm of the arm chair, rusted towel rack) and the AC was minimal. Fortunately we were just off of the heat wave and the provided fan and whatever little AC was sufficient for us. The best part of this hotel is the canal. I wanted to get a canal view for my daughter and me, and this was the best affordable option. The higher star hotels were simply too expensive in July. Hotel Becher is exactly what the pictures show it to be - a mid range, decent but not fancy hotel, with amazing service, walkability and easy canal access in the best part of town. It is in front of a small canal but very cute. There is some noise in the mornings so I recommend ear plugs if you want to sleep in. But it’s not something the hotel can do much about. We walked from the train station and took a small 2 euro boat on the way to cross the canal since we didn’t use Rialto Bridge. We really enjoyed our exit in a private water taxi right from the water entrance of the hotel straight to the airport!

staff was so helpful with navigating water taxis and getting from place to place. they had great recommendations for restaurants and things to do and see. we loved that the water taxi came right up to the hotel and we only had to take the elevator down to the main floor to catch it. Breakfast at the hotel was delicious! Probably the freshest breakfast I've ever had. From eggs to juice to fresh honey (on the comb!)...it was memorable. We had a great time!!

I'm sorry to say but this was a BAD HOTEL STAY -- do not recommend -- go elsewhere in Venice. First, they booked a private expensive water taxi from the train station but the taxi was 25 min late and we had to stand in pouring rain. The room was old, smelled musty from hundreds of years ago . The AC did NOT WORK AT ALL -- despite the heat wave in Venice. They did have a standing fan in the room but it wasn't enough. The TV was broken - it was World Cup when we asked, they said the electrical had blown out all 12 floors and it would not turn on. The shower was no shower - just a random poor pressure hand held on a dingy tub. The balcony was quaint but only one chair, not two as shown in photos, so we could not both sit out on it. Breakfast was horrible - the room was so small they put us in overflow outside - literally a random table right by the hotel front door by the canal but it stank so bad like fish and sewage. The man on duty tried to be nice but could not make up for the shabby hotel. We could not wait to leave and went to H10 Palazzo Hotel - which was amazing in all ways. What a horrible start to our Venice trip -- Do not stay here!!!

Very friendly staff, helped arrange a private water taxi(speedboat) on arrival at the airport. Hotel perfect for what we needed. Especially loved the little patio on the decking where you could watch the gondaliers go by whilst enjoying a drink. Perfect location - approx 6-8min walk to the square in 1 direction, and the same distance to Rialto bridge in the other direction. Very nice restaurants just minutes away from hotel. We had a balcony room with a canal view. My husband loved opening the doors and hearing the sounds from the gondaliers drift up to the room. Was quite nice waking to the sounds of the serenades from the gondaliers. We had a lovely stay here and would stay again if ever returned to Venice

We had a wonderful time in Bellagio and enjoyed our stay at Hotel Centrale. Mikele was so helpful and hospitable. He gave us great suggestions and he help us reserve a private boat tour, which was a great day. Location was perfect in the heart of Bellagio, walking distance to everything.

Location is great - close to San Marco. Hotel is older, and A/C was inadequate for summer. There was an oscillating fan in the room which was the only relief from the heat and stuffiness of the hotel and room. We had the family room, which was very small for 4 people. The breakfast was pretty good - hot items including eggs, bacon, pastries, cured metas/cheese, yogurt, hard-boiled eggs, cereal, fruit, coffe/juice. The breakfast area is small, but there is also a small table outside by the canal. The staff was very friendly and communicative, but not great with follow-through. Examples - asked for a pillow, told one would be brought up - never came. On arrival they helped arranged a water taxi from the airport - with lots of messaging after landing, and through customs. But after we said we were ready, they said there would be a 40 minute wait, and not to take a different available taxi, because then we would have to pay for both. The night before we left, we asked the front desk for a water taxi to the train station for 11AM the next morning. We double checked again that morning at breakfast and everything was set. Then at 9:40 AM they said the taxi could not come at 11, would have to be 10:30. Overall OK, but will stay elsewhere when we return to Venice.

Loved the decor which looked just like the pictures. The staff were super helpful and friendly. We had an early checkout before breakfast and they made sure to give us some breakfast to take with us the night before. We had our welcome drink on the little outdoor overlook watching gondolas go by. Great central location!

Staff were amazing! The ac did not work in my room.

Very quaint and helpful staff. Thew location was great.

This hotel is a great find. It’s reasonably priced, has a wonderful staff and is located in a quiet street that somehow seems to be about 10 mins of leisurely walking to where most tours start. I really cannot overstate how helpful and friendly the staff is here. They arranged transfers and communicated the whole time to make sure we found our taxi from the airport. Very helpful.

Staff was very helpful breakfast was excellent

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION !!! Arrange the water taxi in advance drops off right at the property San Marco square 5 min walk great restaurants great shopping can’t say anything bad about this property. You will not be disappointed.

From warm welcome to last goodbye, the staff and the venue were exceptional

Marco, Francesca and all the staff there were attentive and friendly. The location is perfect, near all the major sites and across from unique shops. Beautiful to see all the gondolas pass by the hotel.

Great hotel with friendly staff in a great location.

Great location - all of the staff were very helpful

The room is distinctly Venetian and impeccably clean, providing a comfortable space. Breakfast is prepared fresh each morning, which I really appreciate. The staff is exceptionally friendly; Arsam was instrumental in assisting me with my check-in and luggage. Marco offered excellent restaurant recommendations. Overall, I had a fantastic stay at the Bacher Hotel.

Staff makes very obvious assumptions off of appearance. Breakfast women only asked me (young woman my room number) no other individuals were asked. I was the first one in the room so I had the delight to witness with my own eyes so it’s not “standard practice”. Marco specifically took it upon himself to ask if I was traveling alone. Rooms smell like mold. Don’t do it

Amazingly convenient and the staff was all more than accommodating!!! Highly recommended!!!)
