Locanda Sturion Hotel Venice

Great location. Quite a hike up to the 3rd floor of the building - 68 steps and no elevator. Overall the room was clean and neat but average. Most of the staff were friendly and most spoke english. Breakfasts were okay, but the coffee sucked (only brewed coffee - no capacinos).

I was looking for a hotel near San Marcus Square, but didn't want to pay over $300 a night. This hotel next to the Rialto Bridge was a perfect alternative. It was near a water bus station and within walking distance of a lot of the sites. We had an attic room that was long and narrow, but a great escape from the hustle and bustle of Venice. The hotel only has 11 rooms and feels like you are staying at your grandmother's house (cozy). They also offered a decent breakfast and free wifi! The only consideration would be if you can't climb stairs. It was a 88 stairs to get to my room (yes, I counted). No one occupies the first floor in Venice because of winter flooding, so I don't think the stairs are that big of a deal, just be prepared. Also, you have to ring the door bell and then someone will buzz you in. Registration is at the top of the stairs.

We stayed at the hotel which was centrally located near the realto bridge. The beds are horrible, rooms had a bad odor. most importantly if you are traveling with a senior think twice, there is no elevator, one has to climb 4 steep floors. I will never go back to this hotel

Hotel was nice, great location, it was hard to find, we walked and walked thought we will never get there. Our room had two twin beds in it, personally it was about as big as my masterbedroom closet in Houston, but hey this is Europe, The a/c could have been better, we got up every night and just couldnt get the room cooler. Breakfast was ok, they dont replenish the food right away, but again hey this is Europe.... the owners were great they had recommended several local restaurants to us, so we could avoid the crowd and have a special meal and night to ourselves. The steps? well there is 70 oops no I stand corrected there are 69 steps to climb to get to the reservations desk, and your room.. Again this Europe. We had a great time, and would go back, but would request a larger room..

Perfect location; friendly staff. We were upgraded to an apartment that the hotel owned

Probably my favorite hotel out of the 10 or so we stayed in in Europe. Great atmosphere - right on the grand canal. Fantastic breakfast buffet too. Just be aware that you will have to drag your luggage up 4 flights of stairs to the lobby.

Excellent choice for those with champagne tastes traveling on a budget. It was easy to reach by vaporetto (public boat)and located on the Grand Canal in the old market area of Venice. Make sure to call the hotel and have them advise you on where to park (if you are driving) and the best way to reach them via vaporetto. Don't bother with the very high expense of a water taxi if you have bags with wheels as it's a very short walk from the public boat stop. The hotel is small and quaint as well as very conveniently located for all activities (lots of shopping) and access to other areas of Venice. Just be prepared as it's a very crowded tourist area. The rooms are very nicely done with venetian glass chandeliers, reproduction period furniture and walls/chairs/bedding covered and coordinated with beautiful fabric - first class. The view of the Grand Canal (make sure you get a room with a view)and beautiful room made the climb up the stairs worth it! So now the stairs...the only significant negative for many travelers will be that you must climb (with your bags) up approx. 68 stairs (four flights I believe)to reach the lobby and rooms. We enjoyed the exercise since we were eating our way through Italy but it obviously may not work for some travelers. Customer service was average and their free breakfast buffet was a minimal effort lacking variety as compared to many other places we stayed in Italia throughout our travels. All in all, this hotel was a great value and we would highly recommend it to our friends that can make it up the stairs!

階段68段でエレベータなしはつらい。　荷物を上げるのはフロントが手伝ってくれるがそれにしても。　古い建物に狭い部屋で雰囲気に価値があるからしょうがないといえばそれまで。　リアルト橋から2分の好立地。　一泊で十分。

This was just how I pictured Venice! The hotel was in a great location, yet still quiet and peaceful. We explored much of the city on foot and in the Vaporettos.

Antica Locanda Sturion was a great hotel for our two night stay in Venice. The location was perfect - right in the middle of everything and easy to access by the boat taxi from the train station. Unfortunately, you do have to get off the boat taxi and haul your luggage over the Rialto Bridge (stairs) to get to the hotel, but it's not a very long walk. Getting up the stairs in the hotel is a real challenge, especially with luggage or after a long day of sight seeing. Venice was unusually hot when we were there, so that made it even worse. But, the hotel it self was perfectly comfortable and cool. We had a small room that did not have a particularly great view, but I could tell that the rooms that faced the Grand Canal must have had a wonderful view - as did the breakfast room. I was pleased by the large and comfortable bathroom. The hotel does not have many added amenities, but breakfast was pleasant and filling and the staff was very friendly.
