Cozy, family-run hotel just five minutes from St. Mark’s Square that has nicely decorated rooms.
Hotel Al Piave is a cozy, family-run hotel located equal distance between Piazza San Marco and Ponte di Rialto, both a 5-minute walk away. The nearest Vaporetto water bus station is San Zaccaria via which you can explore Venice through the waterways and reach farther locations including the bus and train stations.
The hotel is directly managed by its owners, so you get a unique homely atmosphere. The hotel rooms are all recently renovated to feel and look new. They are nicely decorated, albeit a bit small, which is a standard occurrence in Venice. Some have found the lack of space cozy, though others may think it's claustrophobic, even if the rooms are bright and colorful. The beds are comfortable and well-sized. The bathrooms are modern but also suffer from insufficient space. The rooms have all the amenities expected from a midrange accommodation. The higher floor rooms have small patios which are perfect for late afternoon unwinding.
A complimentary breakfast buffet of scrambled eggs, granola, pastries, fruits, coffee, and juices is served daily with gluten-free options also available. Unique selections like the fruit salad will surprise even the most frequent of travelers.
Hotel Al Piave wins on location, room quality, and personalized service. If the room size is not a dealbreaker, you won't go wrong when booking there.
