Two friends and I stayed here in June 2008, when we arrived we were faced with 3 flights of stairs to climb, theres no lift and we had been traveling around Italy so we had heavy baggage. It was a right struggle to get theses up the stairs after a day traveling there. We got to our room on the... more

San Samuele was easy to find and in a good location (convenient to San Marco and Rialto area without being in the midst of it). We checked in with ease for two nights. The first night, a man there told us there was a mistake and that we were in the wrong room. He wanted us to move--even though we... more

The location is great close to the main square but not to close, room was simple but clean and tidy. For Venice good value as well. I would not bother with the breakfast in there sister hotel there is a cafe just a few doors down which was very good. more

This was a pensione with the very basics, but at a decent price in a good location. We weren't expecting anything fancy like A/C, but a small fan would have been nice. We had to keep the windows open to get any air circulation and the restaurant just next to the hotel stays busy and loud until 1 am. Then... more

Lets get the bad out of the way. The front door to the hotel was only closed and locked one night the week I was there and it is very true about the keys anyone could have gone in with no one noticing. The good. It was spotless, a very clean and quiet hotel. It was close to the water... more

I stayed here Apr. 25 to 30, 2007. This is clean, budget accommodation. However, I won't be returning. We had a reservation arrangement that I felt had been clearly confirmed by the hotel. When I asked about whether we had been given the room upgrade, the office staff checked and said we had not. They arranged for us to move... more

one of the best feature of the hotel is its location - the hotel is just a minute from san samuele water bus station (line 2) or a few minutes from san angelo (line 1), and 10 mins away from the san mark's square. just one little reminder: the hotel's website is a little bit outdated, no.82 bus has been... more

I read all of the reviews prior to staying at the hotel. Everyone says to keep your expectations low. I thought the hotel was very comfortable and in a great location close to St. Mark's Square. The beds we stayed in were the softest beds we had the entire trip in Italy. The rooms were basic, no TV, just bed/bathroom... more

Our stay at San Samuele was nice, and just what we needed it to be -- a basic clean, room for a GREAT price. We were in a double w/ bath but it was nowhere near as nice the one in the picture w/ the tiled bath! That was my only issue, I had hoped for a more spacious or... more
