Lovely situation in the less touristy area of Venice, in the university area where lots of local people live. Close to the Grand Canal for water transport. Lots of good sensibly priced places to eat and drink. Brilliant breakfasts and staff all friendly and helpful. We had a lovely short break and if we visit Venice again we will come back here.

It's good to stay.

Very lovely

Had a great stay for 2 nights in Venice. Very good service from all the staff. Well done - I would definitely recommend this hotel. The location is perfectly located in the Dorsoduro.

I liked the location, it was a little further from the craziness of the St Marc Square area but it gave the full Venice experience, and it was about 10-12 minutes walk from vaporetto stops. Message the hotel in advance if you'd like a room like on the pictures and say you want a 'Fresco room' and they will try to accommodate you. Breakfast was tasty but not exactly abundant. Only cold food. The place is very clean and the inner patio is a good place to relax after a long day of walking.

The room was spacious and comfortable but the bathroom was a bit cramped because of the bidet. Overall it felt clean but the water kettle seemed a bit dusty so I didn't use it (it would have been nice to make myself some coffee though). There was an AC and a mini bar which was very nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I needed to leave at night when it was dark outisde and the man who worked in the reception was very helpful, he told me which way was the fastest and safest to the bus station and also gave me some cookies. The location is very good and felt very safe. It's close to Piazzale Roma where the buses, trains and boats are.

Extremely cute room, just a TINY shower though

Friendly and helpful staff. Great location- walkable to all sites.

Great hotel in a great neighborhood. Staff was wonderful and super helpful. Great breakfast. Location is quiet and away from all of the busiest areas.

Perfection.

Great unique stay. Super close to everything and great staff members. We checked in when Carlos was at the reception and he was amazing, answering all our questions and giving the best advices.

Pretty room. Classic. Not too contemporary. Clean.

Hotel Pausania is a very well kept 3* hotel in the charming quarter of Dorsoduro, where some of the best museums and galleries are located. The vaporetto stop is Ca' Rezzonico, where the Alilaguna airport boat can be reached. Don't miss the opportunity to visit Ca' Rezzonico, an 18th century noble palace where you can have a glimpse of the richness of the Republic in elaborate carvngs, paintings and authentic furnishings. Brocaded walls, silken coverings, a walk-in closet with delicately hand painted doors can be seen up close. There is a cafe where you can enjoy a reasonably priced sandwich and drink overlooking the Grand Canal, a premium in Venice. The front desk manager was genteel and helpful in all matters, including help with luggage, as there is no elevator in this authentic Venetian former residence. Restaurants are plentiful a short walk away on Piazza San Barnaba. Ristoteca Oniga was my favorite, with delicious Venetian specialties, friendly service and rustic ambience. Or, turn left as you exit the hotel, cross the little bridge and head to Piazza San Margarita, a huge square lined with good, affordable restaurants, gelaterias and several ATMs. The hotel serves a good breakfast overlooking a pleasant garden. The cold cuts are above average. I would return in a heartbeat, but bring a wash cloth because they are rarely supplied in this category hotel. The towels, mattress and bedding were excellent, however. A great choice in the quiet heart of Venice.

Helpful staff. Very nice room. Pretty entryway to the lobby and the upstairs entry way was extra pretty with ceiling murals and chandeliers. A few sets of stairs to climb to our room, but there was a porter for suitcases if needed. Good breakfast choices and yummy cappuccinos. A bit further away from main areas. I would stay here again.

Overall a nice hotel with very friendly staff. They were very helpful. The hotel location was great.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. Hotel was very clean. Bathroom was a bit awkward.

All ok, except it was almost impossible to find electricity in my room for charging my phone. Ended up charging it in the bathroom.

The peaceful and beautiful location, very kind staff, the unforgettable charm of this hotel made our stay one of the best trips we've experienced. The old-fashioned style of the hotel perfectly reflects the character of Venice blending this place with its surroundings.

Overall we had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was clean and in an excellenet location. Only a ten minute walk from the airport bus and train station. The only downside was a few mosquitoes in the room and poor shower pressure. But, overall a good stay.

A really lovely old hotel in a great location. Very close to one of the best squares in Vence, Campo Santa Margherita. There are quite a few steps up to the rooms so that may not suit some people. The staff were very helpful especially as my booking had come through wrongly (probably my fault) but was sorted out without any drama.

Nice hotel in a local area of Venice. Friendly staff and comfy beds. Me and my son had a little problem stading upright when showering since the shower area was so cramped but not a big deal.

that it was near of every places to see. the consierges were very helpful. the rooms were small but very clean and confertable

The hotel was very far from any of the main attractions we wanted to see. The room was nice, but the bathroom was not in great condition. There were cracked tiles, rust stains, and build-up around the fixtures. The staff was cold and not very helpful. It was okay for the price, but I would not stay again.

Beautiful hotel, very close to the main bus station of Venice. San Marco Sq and all the main attractions can be reached on foot. Suggested

A nice pleasant place nicely situated. The room was cute as was the property. Breakfast was adequate. Overall pleasant

One of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The rooms are typical Venetian style and were warm and cozy for our winter holiday. I would definitely recommend staying here!

The old building is lovely and very well located. We were not very pleased with the service. The gentleman who did our check-in was formal and correct. The lady who attended the night shift was openly rude. When my husband asked her if she could confirm the boat schedule for us she reluctantly went to check it out for us while she said that we could just "check it online ourselves". We did not feel very welcome in general while we interacted with her.

Lovely hotel. Excellent staff. Beautiful location. So nice not to be in a chain.

A fabulous, authentic Venetian Hotel situated in an ideal location for exploring Venice. Friendly and helpful staff and to arrive by boat from the airport was sheer magic. We will definitely be back to stay in this lovely hotel again.

It was ok. Nothing special though it did have s wide variety of food for breakfast. Unusual compared to many b&b’s.

Staff was very nice and helpful with anything we needed, navigating the city etc. hotel was clean and charming. Breakfast was great and the location was perfect. About the same distance to st. Marks, train station, or Rialto bridge. Really loved our stay here and plan to return.

Low water pressure in shower. Dirty toilet on arrival.Air-conditioning worked very well. Bed comfortable Great local bar down the streetFantastic buffet breakfast Decor felt very Venice. Glass chandelier and fresco ceiling Close to ferry (academia)Would have appreciated a map from reception
