Homestays in Veneto, Italy

We’ve stayed in many hotels and apartments around the world, from tiny rooms to beautiful villas, and this was honestly our first experience like this. We arrived around 2:30 PM, right after check-in time. There is no elevator, but that’s completely understandable for an old Venetian building. We carried our luggage to the third floor, and while my wife was speaking with the host, we suddenly found out that the bathroom was shared with another room. This was a huge surprise for us because on Trip.com the booking clearly mentioned private facilities in the room and a shower. Only later did we realize that the bathroom was actually outside the room and shared between two rooms, with separate keys for the wooden bathroom door. The bathroom itself was clean and decent, but for us this completely changed the experience. We have never stayed in a place with a shared bathroom before, and finding this out only at check-in was very disappointing. Another frustrating point was the check-out policy. Check-out was at 10:00 AM, which we already knew from the booking, but honestly this was only the second time in my life I’ve seen such an early check-out time — and I’ve probably booked more than 200 hotels. I think the only earlier one I ever had was 9:30 AM. I genuinely do not understand why there needs to be a 4-hour gap between check-out and check-in for cleaning a room that does not even have a private bathroom. On top of that, the host said it was impossible to leave luggage after check-out because she had “negative experiences” before. So after an already disappointing stay, this just added another layer of inconvenience. Other downsides: * terrible pillows — sleeping felt like your head was at a 90-degree angle; * extremely poor sound insulation, you can hear literally every movement from other guests; * in the shower there was nothing except hand soap near the sink — no shampoo, no conditioner, no basic amenities. Positive points: * very good location; * the room itself was clean; * coffee was available in the room. Unfortunately, the bathroom situation completely overshadowed all the positives for us. Because of that, I would rate this place 2/5.

La ubicación es ideal, se llega rápido caminando desde el bus del aeropuerto y a todos lados caminando. Hay bares alrededor y es una zona tranquila. Lo que podría mejorar son las instrucciones del check-in, ya que les contacté con bastante anticipación por la app para hacer el check-in y aún así tuve problemas al llegar. Lo bueno es que responden y solucionan rápido, debo destacar eso. La vista desde nuestra habitación era preciosa, daba a un pequeño patio. Recomiendo sin dudas

We found the location quite easily. It’s conveniently situated within a comfortable walking distance from the bus stop where the airport buses arrive, which was a big plus after traveling. The administrator was very welcoming — we would especially like to thank her for the warm reception. We arrived before check-in time and were able to leave our bags, which was very convenient. When we returned at the scheduled time, we were able to access our room without any issues. During our stay, renovation works started in a neighboring apartment (apparently upstairs). Because of this, there was a bit less natural light in our room, and we could hear construction noise in the mornings, which started quite early. It turned out that the host was not aware that the work would begin so early either. We would like to especially highlight how the situation was handled. The host personally spoke with us, apologized, and managed to arrange for the work to start later. It was clear that our comfort truly mattered. For us, the situation was completely resolved. The room itself met our expectations. It was spacious — not one of those layouts where you walk straight into the bed with the bathroom door right there. The room was warm thanks to central heating. The water pressure was excellent, and the bathroom was simple but cozy. There was no breakfast option during our stay, but that did not significantly affect our overall experience. We had a pleasant stay and are grateful for the hospitality. It is clear that guest comfort is a priority here — if you experience any issues or need assistance, don’t hesitate to ask.

🌟 Peaceful & Convenient Stay in Venice – Highly Recommended! 🌟 We had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Locanda Herion in Venice. The hotel is located in a nice, quiet, and peaceful area, yet still very central—making it the perfect balance between relaxation and accessibility. It’s just a short walk from the bus and train terminals, as well as the ferry stops, which made getting around Venice incredibly easy. Even St. Mark’s Square is within comfortable walking distance. The hotel is secure with access control codes, which gave us peace of mind. Although there is no physical reception desk, the staff were easily reachable by phone and were extremely helpful and responsive whenever we needed assistance. The room was comfortable, clean, and well-equipped, with cozy bedding and all the necessary amenities for a relaxing stay. Overall, a great choice for anyone looking for a quiet yet central place to stay in Venice. Would definitely recommend!

We all absolutely lived it! The first impression is the super friendly staff. You have to climb quite some steps to reach the room (ard one floor of stairs? Not recommend if you have a lot of luggages) however the staff ran out and helped us to move most of the luggage's to our room. The check in time is actually quite flexible since we arrived at 1230 and the staff still allowed us to check in. The room is very spacious with clean toilets and bathroom, there are Shampoo and body washing separated and some to spare (since we ordered an extra bed in a double room) We are also very surprised about the extra bed because it is not an ordinary expandable sofa bed, but a normal bed. Apart from the nicest service we have ever received, the breakfast is also a highlight. There are tons of choices (sweets like milk pudding, croissant, fruits, normal breakfast like ham and bread) and you can order some specials from the menu. We did try their scrambled eggs and smoked salmon salad, absolutely spot on! It has to be the best breakfast I've ever had from hotel! The location of the hotel is very close to the train station, but quite some walk to piazza San Marco (ard 20 min if you didn't get lost) The hotel provide us a map so that we can find places easier, and turns out we did use this map way more than google map (Google map gets really inaccurate on the island), one service we like a lot again. Overall it's a very pleasant experience and we like the hotel very much! Definitely recommend!

Location is easy to get to and right on the Grand Canal. Perfect for exploring the beauty of Venice. Service was generally helpful. Staff could have explained some elements in the room better. The room itself was disappointing. Very old fashioned and in need of major decoration. The first night only a sheet was provided and we were cold and did not sleep well. This was rectified for the second night. Our room faced a courtyard and was quiet, but quite dark. Overall disappointing for the price

We stayed here for two nights as a couple. The white-based room was very clean, and there was no trash or items left by previous guests. The bathroom amenities were all there, so it was not a problem for a short stay. The shower had good hot water and did not get cold quickly, so even if you are used to Japanese showers, you could stay comfortably. I did not meet many staff members, but the woman at the reception was very kind and explained things to us in an easy-to-understand way, even though we do not speak much English! The location of the hotel itself is a little inconvenient, and if you do not use the water bus or gondola, you will have to walk quite a bit to get anywhere. The main tourist spot, St. Mark's Square, is particularly far away, and it took about 30 minutes for an adult to get there. However, there are many shops along the way, so if you are traveling with plenty of time, it will not be a problem. There are also restaurants and bars around the hotel, and a bakery and crepe shop about a 3-minute walk away. You will not have any trouble finding food, so I recommend not including breakfast and just strolling around. By the way, is there a police box in front of the hotel? There are also police officers watching day and night, so although it is far from the main area, the security is not bad. Overall, it was a very satisfying stay for the cost!

The hotel is located in 12-15 minutes from the main attractions. The Respeak was met by a very service administrator (Russian-speaking) who settled after 20:40 that later the Respeaking works. The room had a refrigerator with two types of water with gas and without. The teapot was not included in the room set. Excellent price-quality ratio.

The location is excellent: close to the city center and just steps away from the sea and water taxis. The service is superb – very friendly and accommodating staff. The hotel is small and set in a historic building. For this price, it’s the best you can find in the center. Thank you!
