Hotel Antica Casa Carettoni is located in a busy pedestrian street just five minutes flat walk from the Santa Lucia station. On arrival we immediately felt like we were in the thick of Venice. Our room looked out over the street, but with the shutters closed it was quiet and peaceful. and we slept well. Our room was nice - however, both room and bathroom were on the "tight" side. This did not overly concern us as we were out and about most of the time. Breakfast was adequate - and served in "slight chaos" with the woman in charge running between the coffee machine and the reception desk; and the food was set out in different parts of the room. Not a massive issue - but could be improved with a little more order, and maybe someone to mind the desk during breakfast time. Hotel foyer needed a bit of re-organisation also. The Grand Canal and ferry ticket booths are just two minutes away. Pleasant - and certainly very handy!

“Good location”

Good location, very near to Venezia Santa Lucia station and ferry points from where you can plan your trip well. The rooms were clean and spacious with cupboards and table/chair. The breakfast was so limited in options. The buffet spread ended almost as soon as when it began, no brown bread options and no scrambled eggs as well. Also the person at the reception continuously runs to the breakfast room to make tea/coffee for you personally. Its tiring for him to manage and does not feel good to see a person like that. The temperature in the room was not comfortable. When getting in touch with the reception, they said they cannot help with the ac since its winter season. Well its theoretically winter, whereas it incredibly hot practically. The street is full of crowd and restaurants and tourists walking while dragging their suitcases on the road, so if the rooms are towards the street, you can say bye bye to sleep as its very noisy till late.

“A gem of a little dates”

Perfectly located near the train station, hotel is far enough away from the main tourist sights that it isn’t noisy at nights but is at the end of a large shopping street in Venice which means the street outside is never too quiet. Very friendly manager on the desk . . he never seemed to leave the desk during our entire stay. Decor is a little dated but warm and comfortable.

Our flight was delayed and we did not arrive at the hotel until after 1am however they were kind enough to let us check in even though we had passed the check in time. The room was lovely, not too small but big enough for two people. It included a small mini fridge and a safe that I believe you could ask reception for the keys to. The bathroom was a modern bathroom however the showers are quite small. I am not exaggerating it was like you are in a coffin and you cannot turn around. Even though it was a small shower it had great water pressure and it did the job. The location of the hotel is fantastic and you are right next to the train station. In the morning you can hear some of the bustle going on in the streets but it is a great view and motivates you to start your day. The staff were fantastic and the lady at the front who served us breakfast was so kind and enthusiastic. Breakfast didn't have many options. You could pick from cereal, pastries, toast and assorted meats and cheese. They offered you a hot drink as well on arrival in the mornings. One thing that I would suggest taking into consideration is how much luggage you are bringing as there are no lifts and you need to carry your bags to your floor. Overall a fantastic stay!
