We booked a room at the San Moise, but were moved to Ca Alvise, which was beautiful, but disappointing since it wasn't what we'd looked forward to. No view of any canal, only the back alley. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

This was our first overnight stay in Venice and our travelling friends wished to have a room with canal view. San Moise seemed to offer rooms with a quiet canal view for a very reasonable price.I booked following this advise from other reviewers. The hotel is very well located, 5 min walk from San Marco square, around a quiet corner on a canal. Our room (109) was located outside and 50m around the corner from the reception area, behind security gate, which opened onto a coutyard garden. The lower ground floor of this building houses the breakfast room. Our room, we had been told, had a larger balcony than our friends, and from reviews, it would appear the size of rooms varies dramatically at this hotel. Our room was furnished in antique Venetian style, complete with enormous venetian glass chandelier, well stocked, well priced mini-bar fridge and kettle (a first for europe, but something all Australians take for granted). The room was about 7 x 5m with enormous windows opening on to narrow balcony. We were stunned by the gorgeous room, and gobsmaked by the view, straight up this quiet canal, complete with quaint bridges and gondolas, no need to leave our room we could take all the best photos straight from here. Gondolas passed under our windows some accompanied by accordian players and classical guitarists. Our friends room, was smaller but similarly furnished and both with new bathrooms, we were both very pleased with our choice. The hotel booked us a water taxi to collect us from the front door of the hotel and take us directly to the airport where we had our car parked in the long term car park, a very satisfactory option. We felt the san moise was the best find on our trip to Italy, ignore the handbag hawkers, pay for the view and you won't be disappointed I am sure.

Not what we expected from photos. Our "triple"(really a small double) was so tiny that the wardrobe door was completely blocked by the extra bed, and we had about 18" clearance from end of beds to wall. Not even enough room to extend the folding luggage rack! Nice bathroom. Great location near St. Mark's, but tiny street leading to hotel is evidently used as an outdoor latrine by local street vendors. Guests must go outside and around the block to get to the breakfast room and salon. Breakfast large and tasty but staff had difficulty keeping it stocked. Lovely courtyard. Some rooms seem quite spacious and elegant. Be sure to confirm what kind of room you are booking! Staff was responsive and helpful, but management should be ashamed to market our room as a triple. Be aware that hotels in this area are quite expensive to reach by water taxi from the airport (around 100 euro). Water buses are cheap but crowded and awkward for luggage-burdened passengers.

We were a little appalled at the price of a room such as ours in Venice, but were very happy with it after committing to it. We probably will never return to the area, so treated it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience for 2 women from Alaska. It was perfectly lovely, and the personnel on the front desk and in service were very helpful.

very nice, we paid top dollar for a canal overlooking room and it was wonderful. Only problem was wireless Internet only worked in the lobby.

We had problems communicating with the staff at breakfast and the concierge booked a taxi for the airport that never arrived however, the excellent location near St Marks square and the beautiful room more than made up for this. Our 5 year old daughter loved every minute in the hotel and didn't want to leave.

We had a triple and a double room. While the triple was very spacious, the double was very small and cramped. Also the hotel smelled. As soon as you walked into the building there was an unpleasant smell. We had to keep our windows open.

This hotel was very easy to find, very close to everything - yet very quiet. We had a little room with a great view of the canal where you could watch the gondolas go by at night. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were modern and clean. The minibar included some wine at a good price for those "emergencies". I would absolutely stay at this hotel again.

Excelent location, step away from main square.

Our room was on the canal with 2 windows. We saw and heard the gondolas come by daily. It was wonderful. There was a beautiful private garden for the guests with tables, chairs, fountain, plants. There were tables in front of the hotel where you could sit and relax. It was better than I expected.
