Oceano Mare

The B&B is nice and unpretentious and has a very good quality/price ratio. The negative element for us was the truly disappointing breakfast which forced us to leave: as an Italian, the coffee from that machine is absolutely undrinkable, there is no yoghurt, cereals but only white bread and packaged snacks of dubious quality. Cleanliness very good

My friends and I stayed here for 3 nights. The location is convenient - just 5 minutes walk from Arsenale so very easy to access from Marco Polo airport or Santa Lucia train station. The area is great - Castello is a much quieter area than San Marco and much more residential. It still has plenty of restaurants but fewer crowds and you have much less trouble finding peaceful spots to sit and watch the world go by. The B&B itself is clean, comfortable and welcoming. Our triple suite was surprisingly big and we had a lovely view onto the street below. Breakfast is generous. Nicola (the owner) was available and generous with tips and recommendations. Would definitely stay again. For the money, you really can't go wrong with this place.

Perfect stay, nice location, good beds, all clean. Last but not least, the owner is great. Nicola, very humble and friendly guy. He was even waiting for us at the dock before our ship/water bus from the airport arrived. Then he explained perfectly the route to our stay (you will find this very important later, after you get lost few times, haha). He helped us with route planning, food/restaurant/bar recommendation... I can only recommend to everyone, who is not looking for a posh place with gold lining and silver spoons. I know for sure that when I am back at Venice, I will be back at Oceano Mare B&B. Cheers, Nicola, thank you again! Vaclav
