This is a great hotel in a really good location,on a quiet road and close to lots of cafes, trattorias and bars. It’s short walking distance to the Basilica and the Doges Palace. Easy to get to from the airport also, as Lorenzo had very kindly  messaged the exact way to get there,which was incredibly helpful. There are no lifts, but there are only three floors so not really a problem. Our room had a good sized balcony which was lovely to go onto in the morning .The owners  were very good about us checking in late also,our flight didn’t come in until after the latest check in time , but Elena waited for us. They also provided us with a front door key after we’d checked out so we were able to leave our luggage there until closer to our flight time. It is not a 24 hr manned reception but you have a front door key so you come and go as you please. There was no kettle in the room but on request Lorenzo provided one. I’ve already booked my next stay here. 

Great location.

This was a great hotel for the price we paid, great room with a big balcony and air con. The hotel is located down a tiny little street, an alley really and is so charming. I was worried about firstly locating the hotel and secondly, getting to the airport two days later in a city I presumed was like a maze in terms of streets and roads!! However, Lorenzo sent an email with exact, easy to follow instructions on how to get there from the train station and then explained exactly how to get the water bus to the airport - I was so grateful for the help!! And the water bus stops are literally minutes from the hotel! The reception is not manned 24 hours but you're given a key to the front door and can come and go as you please. Only downside is there is no lifts but as there are only three floors, you'd get over this and get a bit of exercise in while on holidays :) I'd happily stay here again next time I visit this amazing city.

Excellent value

It's the third time we book Ca del Dose, this time for the Retendore.Located near to historic centre,in a local neighborhood with cafes,trattorias,local shops.
We feel as if we have a home in Venice!
Lorenzo, thanks for everything!

Third time!!

Very friendly staff! Everything worked well, very clean, we appriciated everyday cleaning. Nothing special, not the best bed ever but not the worst either. Very good location regarding everything in venice. Surrounding streets were quiet in the night and nothing distrupted our nights. 

Hairdryer was included but no water kettle, ability to make own coffee in the morning would have been a nice plus. 4 stars because of superb price and friendly staff

Quiet and decent

Clean, comfortable and convenient rooming house. Reasonable price - for Venice anyway! Some nice cafés for breakfast nearby. Ditto restaurants like Trattoria Al Scalinetto next door and Al Covo just 150 metres away. 

Clean and comfortable

Great location  and very close to water taxi. Great restaurants in the area. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable and on the firmer side.Our room had a large terrace.
Ok for a 2 night stay. Many stairs.
Good value for money for Venice. .

Great Location

Stay at ca del dose Tuesday 8th -11th May friendly ppl they allowed us our room earlier as we arrived at 9.20am but it wasn’t 100% so she said we could leave our bags and come back later and it would have had maid service ..which we did spent whole day sightseeing Venice side streets very easy to get lost as we did twice in one day lol .. our room was the apartment very old but it was clean but it fitted in with the area ... only down fall was we didn’t have clean towels daily every 2 days wasn’t happy on that one we arrived Tuesday and by Thursday morning we wanted a shower no fresh towels we already used our 3 times as was so hot we was showering twice a day Tuesday Wednesday so on Thursday morning I walked to the main reception about 3 mins walk away to ask for clean towels the man on reception was great it was the cleaner she was rude and said we only do towel every 2 days so if u like me and shower twice a day u won’t be happy ... best breakfast was at prebateo bacon was lovely omelettes reasonable price too .. we also did the 3 island tour which was fab last island we visited we just had a drink and went back on boat .. side streets are amazing for Italy local bars and they are cheaper priced ... it’s clean not smelly like sea air but it’s very crowded in main areas defo go again as it was beautiful and loved every minute 
 

More than happy 

We visited at the end of April and with temperatures in the high 20s we couldn't believe it when we found out the air conditioning wasn't on. It really ruined our stay as we were unable to sleep & didnt enjoy our time in our room at all. The rooms are really small as are the bathrooms. 

Rooms wers too hot

This is the 2nd worst hotel I have ever stayed in, and I'm 61!
I wouldn't bother to write this review at all if booking.com hadn't advertised the property as having working air conditioning, but two nights without sleep tends to ruin a holiday. 
I will, however, start with the positives. The location of Ca del Dose is excellent - halfway between Arsonale and St Mark's Square could not be better, even though it is in dingy side street, up 5 flights of stairs, overlooking lots of other rundown properties, all with the faded shutters closed. The price was also very reasonable, comparative to accommodation costs in the UK. 
The negatives, however, outweigh the positives.  The noisy, rattling and dirty air con unit in the small room failed to get the temperature inside below 27C, even though the outside temperature never exceeded 30C, (and we tried every setting available on the unit.) Perhaps you can sleep in that, but we couldn't. The advertised fridge would be best described as a chiller unit, as the drinks we kept in it never felt much cooler than the room.  One handle was missing from the mdf wardrobe, (if you can call it that), making it very difficult to open and breaking my wife's nails. The toilet was brown below the water line - why couldn't they use limescale remover?  The sealant in the shower unit was also mouldy, and it should have been changed years ago. The fixings for the shower head were so loose that we could only shower by holding the shower head in one hand and trying to wash with the other. 
This list is not exhaustive, as this poor standard of maintenance makes cleaning to a reasonable standard almost impossible and, to be be fair, we only complained to the hotelier about the air conditioning unit.  She berated us for leaving the unit on when we went out, and pointed to the target temperature saying "see, it is 16C in here, this is cold!" What could we say in the light of such ignorance?  I just showed her my own thermometer and explained that we could not sleep in such conditions. 
I just hope that booking.com take this property off their listing as the facilities that Ca del Dose advertise have clearly not been maintained and are no longer functioning. 
To end on a good note, we are now in Lake Garda in excellent accommodation and a positive review will follow.

The 2nd Worst Hotel in Europe

After looking at some pictures on Ca del Dose web site, we made reservations for 3 nights, via Booking.com. We requested that we would like a Double or Twin Room on an upper-storey floor and we were informed from Booking.com via email that the accommodation has confirmed they will be able to arrange this for us at no extra charge for this request.
We arrived at the hotel earlier than we thought, and there was no one at the hotel to meet us, as the door was locked, so after a phone call via What’s App to a member of the hotel staff, we were shown to our room which was not in the hotel and later described as depandance nearby the hotel. An old building that looked nice from the outside, but not so nice on the inside.
The room given us upon arrival was fusty, stark, dirty with a broken shutter in the bedroom that we had to hang some of clothes to prevent people looking in on us from a back alley. We did not feel safe, comfortable and secure.
The bathroom area that comprised of a toilet, bidet, hand-basin and shower unit, was very small, the shower unit was not ideal, too small and the shower curtain was dirty and did not prevent water escaping out onto the bathroom floor, there was nowhere to place soap, shampoo and no hooks to even hang a towel to dry, so we had to use on of the dining chair in the lounge area. 
When you entered the room No 3533 you are greeted with a step that is 12” high, so you need your wits about you when entering and leaving the room.
There was no coffee and tea making facilities, not even a kettle.
As we were on our honeymoon, we did stay the 3days, but we did stay out late and only returned to sleep. Although Venice is beautiful, in which we will return, but not to this establishment, who seem just interested in taking the money and not investing into the comfort of their paying guests.



Ca del Dose. An unfortunate choice of accommodation that we chose via Booking.com.
