Gem of a hotel near San Marco
Hotel Fontana is a gem run by 2 cousins who understand customer service. You can not ask for a better location and the breakfast, which you have to buy, is well worth the €11 charged. And they have an elevator that works! I expect a hotel in Venice to be a bit dated, it's part of the charm, but my parents stayed in a room that smelt bad. Not sure what it was but we had to keep the windows open at all times. If they get that fixed, 10/10.

The staff was courteous and friendly. They agreed to move us out of our original room due to an odor in the bathroom overnight. They claimed nothing was wrong but when we checked it out again the odor was there. No coffeemaker in room. No coffee until 7:30 and only if you have free breakfast as part of your stay. Now that I have a better idea about Venice I would look at other options.

The hotel was was clean and in a very convenient location. The Fontana is a 5 minute walk from the San Marco vaporetto (water taxi) stop, so transportation to anywhere in Venice is quite easy. The staff is very friendly and quite helpful. Would definitely recommend it.

Perfect little hotel 5 mins from St Mark’s Square
A true gem in the heart of Venice, 5 mins from St Mark's Square. What an absolutely perfect hotel! Loved everything about it, from the location: five minutes on foot from St Mark's Square (and far enough from the throngs of tourists), right next to a fantastic Bacaro and the beautiful San Zaccaria church, to the interior - my spotless single room with its super comfortable bed and good sized bathroom, the lift and air con in the room, plus the wonderful friendly and professional staff, ready to give tips and advice even when checking in at 0100! Great continental breakfast, kept me going long into the day. I hope to return and soon. Super easy to get to from the airport: get the Alilaguna Line B to San Zaccaria. Or if you prefer a private transfer the hotel can sort this out for you.

Great people and place!
This is a small place in a great location run by three of the friendliest, best hoteliers I’ve ever seen. The “clerks” behind the desk are concierges of the highest order. Two of them, cousins Gabrielle and Diego, run the place. The night “clerk”/concierge was especially helpful and friendly. I cannot recommend them enough. The breakfast was good too.
