La Locanda di Orsaria

Great Location for Venice Travelers I stayed at A La Locanda di Orsaria for a quick trip to Venice and overall, it met my needs very well. The biggest highlight is definitely the location—super close to both the train station and water bus stops, which made getting around the city a breeze. If proximity to transport is important to you, this place can’t be beat.The check-in process is a bit unique—the reception is across the alley from the main hotel, but it was no problem. The staff member who checked me in was super friendly and helpful; she even walked me over personally, gave a tour and explained everything, which I really appreciated.My single room was quite small, but honestly, that’s all I needed—who spends time in their room when you’re in Venice anyway? Just a heads up: the shower is extremely tight. I’m around 6 feet tall and 250 pounds, and I just about squeezed in. If you’re much bigger, especially if you value your space in the bathroom, you might find it uncomfortable.The check-out experience was less warm—the staff member seemed a bit annoyed, but given the amount of tourists they see daily, it’s somewhat understandable. I was able to leave my bag at the hotel after check-out, but it was just placed in the lobby area, and when I returned, there was no one at reception so I just grabbed my own bag. Nothing was missing but it did feel a bit odd and less secure than I’m used to. Still, the hotel overall felt safe during my stay.They do ask you to sign up for a breakfast time when you check in. I didn’t get to try it since my visit to the Doge’s Palace ran long, so I can’t speak to the quality of the food.All in all, this is a solid choice for solo travelers or anyone wanting a simple, functional hotel with a fantastic location. It’s not luxury, but it gets the job done and lets you focus on enjoying Venice

Excellent hotel, the building is old and has no elevator, but it is all renovated, the room is clean, airy, has a comfortable bed, white bedding and bathrobes, of cotton and clean, room with classic and beautiful decor, with useful furniture. We couldn't connect the frigobar, but it wasn't an obstacle. Excellent location, less than 5 minutes walking from the train station. Breakfast has scheduled time, could have more variety, but is standard Europe and was satisfactory. We recommend!

The hotel is located within easy walking distance to both the Santa Lucia train station and the bus terminal for a quick 20 minute bus ride to the airport and vaporetto stops are located right in front of the train station which will take you to Piazza S. Marco & the Rialto. The Superior room and bath were very clean and spacious and a great selection of toiliteries were provided. Amenities also included A/C, room safe, mini fridge and a hair dryer. Although the hotel is located less than a 1/2 minute walk from the Grand Canal and the Ponte dei Scalzi bridge, the street is very quiet. Breakfast was very good with an assortment of hot and cold items. The breakfast room is small, so you are requested to book a breakfast time at check-in. The only reason I didn't give the hotel 5 stars was due to the lack of an elevator which we discovered upon check in. Our "second floor" room was actually on the 3rd floor by North American standards - 44 steps! I would definitely return, but would ask for a room on the ground or second floors.
