Hotel Pausania

Location was good that’s the only good thing I have to say. The staff was nice too. However, This room is for people who don’t mind small spaces/imperfections. The shower door was messed up and falling off. The bed was so uncomfortable. I could hear seagulls making noise all day and night. The TV had no channels in English..

Comfortable bed and bedding. I slept well every night of my stay. Very friendly, helpful staff. Clean throughout. Small breakfast selection, but I’m not a fussy eater. I thought it was great. Lovely breakfast room. Great value for money. I’d definitely stay again!

WiFi signal was choppy in our room, but otherwise was a nice stay. Accommodating staff, nice breakfast, and walkable to everything.

Hotel was very nice and professional. Front desk was helpful, room was clean and quiet. Great area in Venice as well! Definitely recommended.

Staff were super friendly, the area was quieter than the main touristy spots and the room was clean and comfortable. Overall a quality experience at the Pausania hotel!

The staff was very helpful and friendly!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Pausania. It is a modest hotel with a warm friendly atmosphere in a building characterized by the history and classic architecture of old Venice. Upon arrival guests enter the hotel through a historic stone courtyard that makes you feel like you have traveled back in time. The room was comfortable, clean and spacious enough to accommodate four of us, including our two children with separate beds. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us when we accidentally dropped a ring down the sink drain. They were miraculously able to retrieve it for us! And the location!! I can't say enough about the location. Dorsoduro has none of the hordes of tourists and daytrippers that San Marco and San Polo have but all of the charm! There are plenty of restaurants, shops and picturesque piazzas surrounding the hotel and all within walking distance of the more famous attractions such as St. Mark's, etc. I can't recommend Hotel Pausania enough!

We loved the location & the staff ws so friendly and helpful. it made for a magical trip!

No shower in room - only bathtub which was disappointing and not made clear on Expedia app. Breakfast choices were mediocre and limited compared to hotels in Florence and Rome which we stayed at after Venice. They also gave only one complimentary bottle of water for tea and coffee which was cheap. Unlimited water should be available for price of room. Location of hotel was good and quiet.

We stayed with our 1-year old

Great service and attention to requests.

The hotel staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. I would recommend this hotel to everyone!

Loved the history of the architecture. One wish would be brighter lighting in room and a mirror in the room in addition to the vanity mirror in the bathroom. The staff were amazing and the hotel breakfast really, really good.

Very pleasant for a stay in Venice. Convenient access to transport around city and to/from airport.

The hotel was in a good location. It was pretty quiet the staff was helpful and friendly.

Good location, good service but overpriced for a tiny room with very dated interiors.

cozy hotel. wonderful breakfast. extremely helpful staff

Great, quiet location. Air con not great and a little noisy (on the top floor) but staff friendly, breakfast good and overall convenient and comfortable.

First, the positives: Hotel Pausania is located in a convenient location. It's a short walk from the hotel to the Ca' Rezzonico water bus stop, two plazas with plenty of dining options, and a bridge that crosses the Grand Canal, which leads to the main tourist area. The bathroom in our room was spotless and modern; the bedroom featured a beautiful ceiling mural and glass chandelier. The hotel also has a lovely breakfast room that overlooks a grassy courtyard. The buffet-style breakfast was a hit with our American teens. Now the negatives...My family had booked two rooms through Hotels.com, one in my name, the other in my adult son's name. At check-in, the desk clerk accepted my name and our passports to check into the first room, but asked my son to produce additional proof of his reservation. Next we encountered a foul odor in the family room, which I brought to the attention of hotel staff. To their credit, they promptly sent someone to investigate and it seemed better when we returned from dinner. Before dinner, I saw an employee standing by a bar in the lobby area. I inquired about a drink and was advised to make one in my room with the minibar. Finally, there was maintenance work going on in the narrow hallway at the top of the steps just outside our room door the morning that we checked out.

Very pleasant and helpful staff. good value for money. excellent location with a variety of good local restaurants
