Hotel Ca' Formenta

The property was in a perfectly located for us! It was a short walk from the Arsenale vaporetto stop and only a bit further to Piazza San Marco. Located away from the crowds, we were able to enjoy great restaurants and the fantastic views of the water easily. The room was lovely with a comfortable bed. There were no outlets near the bed, and as I sleep with a cpap, the staff were very accommodating when we asked to borrow an extension cord. Only downside was that the shower in our room was very small and the toilet was literally right up against the wall. However, we would definitely stay there again!

Great hospitality - especially Simon at the front desk!

The location was great. Close to St Marks Square but far enough away to be further from the crowds. The hotel worker Elena was very helpful in providing information on how to get to and from the hotel. In addition we bought a bottle of wine to share with friends and she set up an ice bucket and glasses for us.

It was great experience, staff was very friendly. Hotel room was nice specially bathroom was quite good with all toiletries. Mattress was comfortable. I requested electric kettle and hotel arranged. I am quite happy with hotel room and staff.

Good value Hotel for yhe money

We overlooked a canal and could see out to one of the bridges if we put our head out the window. The service was excellent with friendly and helpful staff.

It was an annex from the hotel Where was no soap or tea or coffee and the AC was not working properly so it was hot and not clean and the most important thing the smell of rotten all over the place

The room was comfortable enough. It would have been too small for two people. Two issues: - the shower cubicle did not even allow one to turn round, scarcely deeper than a body. A large person would have found it impossible. The design of the bathroom, which included a bidet, needs consideration. - the Aircon did not work. Already a warm April, it was uncomfortable with no ability to cool the room. Thankfully outside noise was low, so the windows could be open (exposing one to the risk of mosquitos). Generally still a pleasant start and the staff welcome was warm and genuine.

Great location in a wonderful neighborhood! Breakfast eating area was a little cramped at times - had to wait for a table, but just one day out of four. Breakfast was good, staff was excellent.

Quaint little hotel right on the water, with a personal touch that feels like like you’re staying in someone’s cozy home. The location is excellent, with all sorts of restaurants and attractions within immediate walking distance, and the staff are wonderful.

Staff were very helpful and accommodating to our circumstances. I was travelling with some excess baggage ( hockey equipment) They stored in their office and staged it for an early morning checkout.. very much appreciated by us. 5 stars out of 5 😊

We loved our stay in Venice! The property was in a great location with a friendly and helpful staff! Everything was clean and nice! We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again! It’s a great place if you’re going to Venice!

False advertisement when i paid local taxes and shown my room after check in the room was totally different from the pictures. I paid $130 for a jail cell. Rude staff. It was a two twin bed room i got two single seperate wonder bread size mattress. I left the hotel.

Eligant, yet quaint. Nicely located.

This hotel is quite small and cramped. Location is nice but for the $, not a great value. They charged us for coffee in the afternoon and the complimentary breakfast was not so good. No hot items and no room to sit down to enjoy, 2 tables out front of hotel are at least with a view of the water. Would not choose to stay here again.

Frontdesk very helpfull. Help with bookings and info on the busboat. Helping us with a smile. We felt at home.

My wife & I have stayed quite a few times before at Hotel Ca’ Formenta and undoubtedly this is the best located Hotel in Venice to visit the 2 main Biennale sites which are only a few minutes walk away. The hotel is also conveniently located a short walk away from Arsenale boat stop which is reached fairly quickly by the Alilaguna red or blue lines from Marco Polo airport. Initially I was very disappointed to arrive late afternoon & be allocated an inferior ground floor dark, dingy and airless room for the first night of 3. However on request the Hotel did move us to a much nicer and airy Junior suite for the next 2 nights which more than made up for this. A big thumbs up to the Hotel management for sorting this out in a polite and efficient manner. Apart from the excellent location, the hotel is kept very clean & is run smoothly, the breakfast is more than adequate & the hot water for showers is copious. Venice hotels are not exactly cheap but Ca Formenta usually represents fair value for money relative to competitors. The only downside are that mattresses are extremely firm & unyielding. Sleep quality is something that many hotels are judged by so perhaps the hotel should review this situation. Also, I have been visiting for over 10 years now & the decor looks “tired” & has not changed at all in that time. Perhaps a refurbishment would help freshen things up. I would book again due to the great location but it would be great to see some investment.

The hotel is well localized at one end of via Garibaldi, mainly when the main intention is to see the Bienal (our case). Close to the Arsenale, it is possible to see it from the water boat coming from the airport. The room had an old decoration but wi-fi, refrigerator, TV and shower were working properly. There is a supermarket and many restaurants nearby.

The location couldn’t be better, close the everything yet not too busy
