Pros:

Our stay at the Hotel San Zaccaria was very nice overall. The hotel scored particularly well with its cleanliness, the extremely friendly and helpful staff and the great location in the immediate vicinity of St Mark's Square - perfect for exploring Venice.

However, a few points could be improved: The thin doors and walls make the hotel very noisy, making it easy to hear noise from neighbours. The furnishings are slightly old-fashioned, but still have a certain charm. As there were no vegan breakfast options, we didn't book breakfast.

Overall a nice stay - especially recommended for travellers who value a central location and friendly service.

My New Home in Venice
Pros:

We have always stayed in this area of Venice, but never at this particular hotel although we had passed it many times. It is super convenient to the vaporetto, to San Marco, and to all of our favorite restaurants. It's also quiet, well appointed, and super friendly!

Pros:

La struttura si trova in una posizione strategica a due passi da piazza San Marco e dai traghetti, ottima. Camere non tanto grandi ma pulite ..se si vuole segnalare qualcosa mancano le prese di corrente vicino ai comodini. Personale molto gentile e disponibile. zona anche se è centrale molto silenziosa. Da consigliare sicuramente.

Excellent location, romantic room
Pros:

I stayed for three nights on a two-week solo winter Interrail trip. The hotel was not close to the station but definitely within walkable distance. The room was perhaps a bit pointlessly romantic for me as a solo traveler, but I would love to come back with the wife another time. This being the low season, it was quite affordable. I did not have breakfast at the hotel, I am in general not a very breakfasty person, and I prefer to try different places for breakfast each day when travelling. The location was excellent, close to St Mark Square, if that is your thing, and thus also close to the watebus stops there, to quickly get you elsewhere in the city.

Ho soggiornato 2 gg , ho apprezzato la vicinanza ai luoghi d’interesse ma al contempo la silenziosa piazza su cui si affaccia
Camere piccole ma funzionali

Tutto perfetto

Démodé
Pros:

Très bon séjour
Un peu déçu par le côté un peu vétuste de l’hôtel - lourdes tentures dans les chambres tapisserie vieillote meubles de style rococo
Bref l’établissement aurait besoin d’un coup de jeunr

So pleasant of a surprise
Pros:

After two weeks of traveling on the North of Italy, staying at 6 different hotels, this one was the best (by far). Lovely accommodation, superb cleaningness, great amenities, perfectly located (few steps from Piazza San Marco), but the best... an extraordinary good service by all the staff.

Pros:

Very hard to find the rooms - it’s a maze. The photos online, whilst technically accurate, don’t entirely reflect the actual result. They are renovating the lobby so access is not the best and almost no space in the lift for people and luggage. Great staff who were very helpful

Pros:

The area / location was great! Close to water taxi and walkable to all attractions. Bed is comfy and bathroom is remodeled. The staff was helpful.
The rooms do not look like the pictures at all. It says they have air conditioning but they do not , staff stated it had been broken for 60 days. We did ask at booking and they stated they did have A/C. No
screens so couldn't open windows. No coffee maker
In room or in the lobby of the sister hotel.
Would not stay there again.

Pros:

The location is awesome and walkable to most attractions. Our room is very cozy and could use some updating but if you want to be in the city centre it’s a reasonable trade off. Even though we prepaid our stay (including taxes &fees), there’s additional travel tax due and only accept cash which is confusing given that we stayed in Venice not travelling into the city.

Pros:

The hotel is quiet with cleanliness, and the breakfast is good.
However, a receptionist does it at the hotel of several neighbors not the entrance of the hotel. As there was a poster, there was not the problem.

Pros:

Nice attentive staff, good breakfast. Clean but spartan rooms .... typical small European rooms, tiny difficult shower. Very good location. This was our only trip to Venice so it is difficult to compare. Felt very safe in the area. Location and helpful staff made up for other shortcomings.
