Hotel Santo Stefano

The hotel was in a great location in Venice - very near the Accademia and a Vaporetto (bus) stop. The rooms were Hotel Employee and the staff were very helpful and responsive.

Great locate, helpful front desk

Tiny room, even smaller bathroom. Had to step over the toilet to enter shower.

The location was excellent; the room was nicely decorated and very comfortable. The staff were helpful and the breakfast offered outside on the square in the morning was wonderful. Perhaps best of all was the fancy shower.

Location and friendly staff

Ac not working

Excellent location, a few minutes walk to all the important tourist attractions, impeccably decorated room, Venetian style, view of the square, safe location, very good breakfast, with everything you could want, very friendly staff.

The location was excellent as it was on a calm and quiet square but in easy walking distance to San Marco and vaporetto stops. The staff was also vetted accommodating and helpful.

Great location, friendly front desk, good breakfast for value.

Excellent location, nicely furnished room, well functioning bathroom.

The location was perfect. It was well appointed, clean and quiet. Staff were incredibly helpful!

The up and over the steps for the bathroom was not ideal for a senior woman.

Our stay at Hotel Santo Stefano in Venice was wonderful once we settled in. The location is incredible — right in the middle of a lively piazza with multiple restaurants and cafés, and perfectly situated between two ferry stops. This made exploring the city so convenient once we figured things out.Getting there, however, was a bit tricky. Directions weren’t very clear, and since we arrived in summer when ferries run less frequently in the evenings, navigating from the Ferrovia stations (with heavy luggage on cobblestones!) was a challenge. A clearer explanation of ferry routes would have made arrival much smoother.That said, once we arrived, the staff was fantastic. They immediately recommended a restaurant in the piazza where we had one of our best meals in Venice. The hotel itself was very comfortable: zero steps to the elevator (a blessing after our trek), strong AC, a cozy bed, and clever storage solutions that made the compact room feel functional even with lots of luggage. The bathroom was small but well-appointed, with hot water that came on quickly and a great shower.Overall, a perfect place to stay if you want a central location, great staff, and comfort after days spent exploring Venice.

It was honestly hard to find many negatives about Hotel Santo Stefano. Arrival was a bit confusing with unclear directions and ferry routes. Few nearby breakfast spots or bars, but the area was quiet, felt safe for two women walking, and only about 15 minutes from St. Mark’s Basilica.

Charming and so Venetian in decor. The location was ideal and only 7 minute walk to major sights. The breakfast was substantial and beautifully presented with care. Claudia at the desk was ever so helpful with booking water taxis and making our stay delightful.

I wouldn’t change a thing.

Elegant heritage hotel with elevator and gorgeous breakfast!

Everything! They were so kind from the beginning till end. Let us check in earlier, accepted our service dog as part of the family and made us feel comfortable. Breakfast was unexpectedly amazing. Will definitely recommend to everyone!

We loved the room decor, the location and the friendly staff

The rooms are tiny for the price and breakfast was subpar

Very friendly staff. Breakfast was lovely, sitting out in the square. Hotel was small and cozy, room had everything we needed. Location was perfect - less than 5 mins to the vaporetto and 10 minutes to San Marco square.

the location was great and the room was comfortable, clean and super cute! the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly!

The location was fantastic. The room was small but charming and had a view of the square. The staff were very friendly.

Helpful staff and good location

Very small room with small amount of room to navigate around the beds or put our suitcases. Very small bathroom.

Quaint boutique hotel in a relatively peaceful square close to all the historic sites of Venice. The rooms are unsurprisingly small but beautifully appointed, and the reliable lift avoids the marble winding staircase. The staff was super helpful, especially Analisa and Claudia, who care very much about the comfort of every guest. Excellent breakfast with egg dishes made to order. Highly recommended in every way!

We stayed just one night, location is great and hotel very cute. Fantastic breakfast! Very quiet at night. Staff is friendly and welcoming.

We don't have any major complaints; however, the pillows could be improved.
