The location was fantastic, our room was spotless, quiet and spacious (the bathroom was was heaven sent!), and the staff were so welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was delicious and the coffee was the best I had the entire trip.
No elevator but the stairs weren't bad at all.
...
All of the staff were helpful and very accommadating. Franca and Ferruccio made us feel as though we were staying in their own home - special guests who were being tenderly catered to and couldn't lift a finger!
The location of the hotel was perfect to visit all the sites easily. I will stay at Goldoni again!

We were extremely please with our accommodation all of the staff were very helpful with a good standard of English. We would recommend this location to anybody
...
The were 2 small downsides
(1) There were a couple of mosquitoes with no spray available to kill them.
(2) Concergie would only stay up until all guests were in the residenza so one would always feel a little uncomfortable coming home late at night.
...
This hotel was ideally located right between Rialto bridge and St Marks square. The rooms were clean and the staff helpful and friendly. I would stay here again.

Like the majority of Hotels in Venice, Residenza Goldoni does not have a lift, and some of the rooms are on the 4th floor, up very steep, narrow stairs. You should specify in advance if you require accomodation close to the ground floor.
Residenza Goldoni is unusual however in that it can be easily reached from the vaporetto stop at Rialto Bridge, without crossing any bridges or negotiating any steps.
...
Clean, comfortable accomodation in an excellent location, with friendly, helpful staff - reasonably priced by Venice standards.

The reservation was for a room with a terrace, but we got a room without terrace. But after discussing the problem they charged less, so it was okay, although they did not do it vountarly.
...
It was easy to find and very close to vaporetto and Rialto bridge.
...
A small private hotel, very clean and nice, but small rooms.
Located in the middle of famous places.

Nicely kept, small hotel, perfectly suited our needs, and it really is 200m from Rialto bridge!!! Had a little trouble finding it, as it is up a few side streets,but restaurant waiter directed us without fuss.
...
Although in a small room at the top of the hotel, our room was entirely satisfactory, the hotel is really superbly situated for the roving holiday maker!
...
A simple process, with no nasty suprises!
...
Maybe to state that it is a small hotel, I had more info reading about other visitors comments through weblinks than directly from main website
...
small but perfectly formed

We expected a balcony.
Our window had direct access (1 meter)to another apartment that was undergoing refurbishment and work started at 07,.00each morning.
Breakfast in the room was not so easy due to having no table. We had to eat on the bed.
...
Good old fashioned hotel.
Air conditioning was well worth it.
Central to all locations.

The owner and his son were not on duty so we were greeted by one of the other support staff who was very nice. We spoke no Italian and she spoke no English so it was a little awkward initially.
...
I would not stay there again because there were no lifts and we were on the third floor, it was like climbing a mountain. Our bags were heavy after travelling for two weeks previously. We were offered no help with our bags.
Outside my room there was the hot water cylinder that came on regularly and noisily.
...
We had an early checkout and were told a concierge would be there to let us out - which did not happen. Fortunately we could open the doors ourselves.
...
Stress no lifts and steep stairs.
...
Well furnished and appointed, quiet, central.
Too hard to access room.

My room had a terrace where I was able to sit on the first morning of my stay for taking breakfast;on the second morning it was raining and taking breakfast in the room was rather cramped. I would be interested to know if the rooms without terraces are larger , as there is not option to use a terrace for eating. The room was very clean and in good order.
...
I was freely given useful information about transport back to marco Polo.
...
No.
...
Very clean and friendly and well place for San Marco and Rialto features.

We forgot to bring the directions to the property but the owner guided us by telephone and came to meet us when we got lost!
...
We had a lovely stay. The hotel is small and cosy and is at a prime location. The family that owns the hotel is very friendly and helpful.
The only comment we have concerns breakfast: we could have done with some more bread!
(we asked for more bread the second morning and we got more without a problem!)
...
I think your web site is one of the best.
...
A small, friendly, cosy hotel in a quiet street in the center of Venice. It is tastefully decorated and very clean. The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful.

The address given was totally inadequate for

definitely include the name of the little
lane, as THAT is what appears on the tourist
maps, not 'San Marco 3542'

I'd highly recommend it.

We were greated and shown to our room in a friendly manner.
...
Our room was spotlessly clean and this was maintained throughout our stay.
...
We were very pleased by the way in which staff organised our departure by water taxi.
...
We had a rather poor view over what appeared to be the back yard of a cafe or restaurant but this was outweighed by the well appointed room. Some clients, however, might be disappointed by this.
...
I have already recommended the hotel to two friends who have booked with you. We described the hotel as very well located, very good value for money and rooms which are of a good size, very clean with an excellent bathroom and with very friendly staff.

It would appear from the map sent that the hotel was in a street a couple away from where the hotel was located. It would be best to tell visitors to Venice to look for the house number, this is how we fianlly found the hotel.
...
It was a great visit and the hotel was in a great position for site seeing.
...
As previosly mentioned better directions would be great.
The only disappointment at the hotel was the breakfast, which was served in your room. It was very basic.
...
Great position, clean and very well decorated. At little on the expensive side but was worth it for the location.

The location of Residenza Goldoni is very good to experience Venice. We were surpised how well located it is. Everything is clean, the staff are very friendly and there is a very relaxed atmosphere. The rooms are beautiful and it is definitely worth money spent.

Prompt and efficient

This was a very nice property. The rooms were new and clean. The only disappointment was that the room looked over a small courtyard that was used for storage and it was extremely unattractive.
...
My children arrived the night before I did and I had booked a double room for them and expected them to change to the triple room the night I arrived. Instead, the hotel placed them in the triple room the first night and only charged for the double. We were pleasantly surprised by this and it made our stay easier since the children didn't have to change rooms.
...
A small, quiet, friendly hotel that serves the customer very well. We enjoyed having breakfast brought to the room.

We arrived after midnight and were concerned the hotel would be difficult to find and nobody would be there to greet us. We needn't have worried at all. It was very easy to find the hotel and indeed a great welcome awaited us.
...
Only one criticism. We were out very late on the Saturday night (12.15pm) and felt we had annoyed the hotel staff as it was all locked up when we arrived back and they looked as thoughwe had got them out of bed.
...
Venice is very expensive, anywhere else I would have expected more for what we paid, but as it was Venice I felt we got good value.
...
Warn of no lifts so 4th floor quite a walk.
...
Warm, friendly and very convenient for all attractions.

From the Airport, we took the ACTV bus to Palazzo Roma, and then a water taxi to the Rialto stop and walked. Taking the taxi was fun and scenic, and the short walk to the inn was easy!
...
Our stay was really great. Everything as promised on the website. The only thing that would have improved our stay would have been air conditioning. It was unseasonably warm during our stay and the a/c was not turned on yet, so we had to sleep with the windows open. This wasn't a big problem, but we did encounter a few pesky mosquitos.
...
We thought the Residenza Goldini was a very good value for the money. Staff was great, facility clean and comfortable. Owner went out of his way to help us arrange a taxi to transport our huge luggage from hotel to cruise ship.
...
The Rezidenza Goldini is a charming little hotel, located just blocks from the Rialto bridge and minutes from San Marco Square. The father/son owners were also charming, and very attentive to our every need. The hotel is decorated tastefully and is very clean. (Looks just like website). A lovely continental breakfast is served each morning in your room. This hotel delivers what it promises and is a good value for the money. We highly recommend it to other travelers.

The accommodation provided could not have been better for my brief visit to Venice. It was ideal as a central base and the staff could not have been more helpful. If there was a slight downside - my room was a little noisy being situated by a air ventilator, but was not the end of the world especially as there are not many single rooms available in Venice at such a reasonable rate. I would be happy to return.

A friendly, efficient service all round.

We arrived very early, and were able to stow our luggage their while waiting to check into the room. The staff was incredible helpful and accomodating. They even printed out an email that had been sent to the hotel's email address for us, and it was in our room when we checked in.
...
The room and entire hotel was very clean and decorated nicely. Our room was a decent size, and bathroom fixtures seemed brand new.
...
It's a very clean and spacious hotel in a fabulous location, with an incredibly friendly and helpful staff.

We were very happy with our accomodations and the service of the staff. The location of the Goldini is perfect for exploring all of Venice. We arrived very late (after 11 p.m.)but received a warm reception nevertheless. We also arrived without our baggage (lost in transit)and received great help from the staff in tracking it down.
...
We would happily return for another stay at this place. We were in the room at the very top where there is no place for eating breakfast except on the bed, a bit of a tradeoff for the view out the windows of the tiled rooftops.
...
No
...
This is a good choice for Venice, close to everything, but not in the thick of tourist traffic. Everything worked well and the bed was comfortable. If you stay in the room at the top, be prepared for a climb.

There was some confusion as they had 2 reservations with my name, and with 2 other people with similar last names. But it was cleared up before the rooms were allocated.
...
We stayed on the fifth floor with a terrace overlooking the roof tops. It was fine for us but for anyone older or with leg problems it would be too many stairs. This should probably be more clearly stated on the website.

Clean, quiet, very well located, with a lovely terrace overlooking the venetian rooftops, but a lot of stairs.

My difficulty in finding the hotel was most likely due to my unfamiliarity with Venice, and in Venice most things were hard to find even with a detailed map. Upon my arrival my only difficulty was in language, as the receptionist was not able to speak English. I quickly pulled out my printed voucher and the process was expedited. All the other receptionists were noteably polite and warm.
...
The property was very conveniently located and I felt very safe walking to and from the facility.
...
Great place to stay due to the location, the rate, the hospitality and comfort of room.

Extraordinarily well-kept facilities; my single room with bath was beautifully and recently renovated. Utterly no street noise, despite the location.
...
I had to leave at 4:50 a.m. to catch the vaporetto for Piazzale Roma for the airport shuttle. The front desk was not manned when I came down from my room and the street door was locked. There was also no obvious sign or bell to summon the night concierge, though I succeeded in making enough noise that finally the young woman arrived. I am fluent in Italian and was able to explain my need to leave, but this kind of situation might panic someone who didn't speak the language--since her English was very rudimentary.
...
Immaculate, extraordinarily comfortable, completely renovated with very modern facilities. Far above the level I have often found in its price range in Venice. The proprietor was charming and very helpful. I was there on business and he recommended a moderate and top-notch Trattoria around the corner where I felt very at ease dining solo. Despite its proximity to the Rialto Bridge, the hotel still feels removed from the worst of the touristic excess.

We could not benefit from the free taxi ride to Murano, and had to take the Vaporetto.
Apart from that, which is not essential, the hotel was very charming and clean. The room, although not spacious, was also full of charm.

Accomodation is expensive in Venice.
So it was rather expensive, although the hotel was nice.

Venice is Venice ... navigating the side streets is difficult and in general the people in the area were not that helpful and not willing to call to help us find the place ... it is actually very easy to get to from the Rialto bridge!!!
...
Cash only ... but was stated on the voucher - but then again a lot of Venice only wants to deal in cash
...
comfortable and quiet - not a lot of opportunity to interact with other guests (only in a happenstance meeting in a corridor) - pack light no lift/elevator and a lot of stairs.

Breakfast was very basic and was only available between 8am - 9:30am which makes it difficult if you need to depart earlier. The language barrier was challenging at times, but we managed to get by. Note the hotel requests payment by cash or travellers cheque, however if you clarify at the time of booking, credit cards are accepted.
...
The web site should note there is no lift. We identified this prior to our arrival, however some guests may have trouble negotiating the stairs to the higher floors, particularly the third and fourth!
...
This centrally located hotel offers very compact rooms which are clean & cosy. If you can climb 4 flights of stairs with your bags make sure you confirm you get the terrace room and remember the mosquito spray! (Enjoy a pizza & Vino out there!) You'll need to get confirmation in writing at time of booking to make final payment by credit card.

We could not find the hotel, we asked in several shops and then phoned the hotel, the receptionist could not speak any English and I could not explain in my limited Italian, in the end we asked a shop assistant who did speak English to phone the hotel and translate directions
...
The rooms looked a lot bigger on the web site, but the hotel was clean and comfy. We were not very happy at having to pay in cash as the web site stated payment by credit card was acceptable. Also the price included air conditioning, but this is not on 'cool' until June, the room was very hot at night, and if we opened the windows, we were bitten by mosquitos.
...
Only the lack of air conditioning, the payment by cash or traveller's cheque only, and the fact that it is along a small alley to the right of the Disney store, then first left (this is much clearer than giving street names, since none of these are displayed)
...
Very convenient, very quiet, very clean, breakfast not really worth having, better to stock up the mini-bar with yoghurt and juice and go out for fresh italian coffee rather than instant

towels every day and to throw away every
piece of soap that has been used only once.
