Locanda La Corte Hotel Venice

My husband and I (both in early 30s) had a great stay at Laconda (2 nts, Dec 2012). The picture in this listing does not look like the hotel that I remember, but may be from another angle. It's was very easy to walk from the Fondamente Nove stop w/ luggage. Upon check-in, we did not get any type of orientation or info re: logistics, so we ended up missing the included breakfast the first day. Even on the second day, we did not know where to go for BF - we stood around waiting a bit while the staff had a discussion, then when we asked, they just pointed us to a corner in the back of the courtyard (there is a small room behind a black metal gate door). You can grab a drink or a fresh macchiato at the bar in the warm lobby at any time, which was a nice touch. Other than some of the less-than-friendly staff, we had a wonderful stay. The room was very large and accommodating. Shower quite quite tiny, but I learned this is generally the case in Italian hotels. Would def recommend this hotel.

We had a awesome experience. The hotel is close to forte nuove boat station. And you can take the public boats to the hotel from the airport which is a lot cheaper than a watertaxi. We loved having our own full kitchen, washing machine and dishwasher which ment we didn't have to eat out everyday. Staff was very friendly and helpfull. We had 2 aircons, one in room and one in tv room, they helped alot with the heat after exploring the island.

The hotel is in a nice, quiet location about a 10 minute walk to St Marks Square and 5-8 minute walk to the Rialto Bridge. The rooms were comfortable and clean although a bit small. The staff was friendly and accomodating. A small continetal breakfest was served each day and allowed you to sit in a small center courtyard which made for a great start of the day. Excellent value for the money!

Centrally located it is ideal to visit Venice on foot: no need to take the vaporetto [local ferry] as you can walk to many places. The breakfast buffet includes ham, cheese, yogurt, croissants and everything is very fresh. Take advantage of the beautiful "corte" if the weather allows! At walking distance there are two (small) restaurants: Mascaron and the Mascareta, worthy a visit!

The hotel was out of the busy tourist areas of the city to give a quiet, relaxed environment. That meant a short walk to many sights and the nearest Vaporetto stop at C'dOro, but we would consider a return there, but certainly would search out a more friendly hotel. There appears to be about 3 rooms that have a view of the small canal going by the hotel, so as it turned out we did not have a canal view which was unfortunate for a long planned, highly anticipated trip of a lifetime. When I asked about the canal rooms I was met with the usual detached attitude that was expressed by the staff. I think it might be a cultural difference or a Venice thing, but the staff was never warm and inviting. They smiled and greeted you, but were never engaging and willing to step over the line to make a visit special. The most friendly staff was the breakfast waitress. She was the perfect hostess and was most kind and joyful and maids were always more friendly than the desk staff. Breakfast was good, but not eventful and was exactly the same everyday, which could be fine, but after 10 days it was enough of that. Rolls were not fresh and delicous, but meats and cheeses were very good and it was always a simple meal. The actual building and the decor was lovely and the courtyard (not able to be used at breakfast because of cooler, very early spring weather) was great. It was usuable a couple of afternoons. I would suggest Venice in April, since March is not quite warm and in bloom.

Hotel parfait, joliment décoré - très bon accueil et personnel agréable - bien situé à 5 mn de la Place St Marc et du Rialto - Hôtel situé dans un endroit très calme. nous avons passé un excellent séjour.

Nous avons passé un superbe WE en amoureux sans enfants. Même s'il a plu toute la journée de samedi, notre séjour fût magnifique. Le personnel de l'hôtel est très serviable et toujours souriant. Nous étions 2 mais logions dans une chambre où l'on aurait pu dormir à 5! L'emplacement est idéal à 5min à pied de la place St-Marc ou du Rialto, mais en dehors du passage des hordes de touristes. Endroit idéale pour se reposer.

Accueil très chaleureux. Hôtel très propre, petit déjeuner très correcte. Un havre de paix.

Nos avons séjourné 2 jours dans cet hôtel L'accueil a été formidable Le patron parle parfaitement français, très à l'écoute de nos demandes le personnel est charmant Nous étions installés dans une chambre donnant dans la cour intérieure de l'hôtel Très calme et confortable l'hôtel est idéalement situé tout près du rialto et de la place saint marc le déjeuner à volonté presque parfait En effet le café est un peu plat à mon goût en résumé je vous recommande cet hôtel

Trois nuits passées dans cet hôtel agréable, une chambre spacieuse et propre (avec lit Queen size), une grande salle de bain avec baignoire. Un personnel souriant, un petit déjeuner très correct et à l’accueil 4 jours par semaine, il y à Abdel.....Polyglotte, souriant, plein d'esprit et de bonne volonté, serviable, une mine d'information. En bref un homme adorable que nous avons eu grand plaisir à rencontrer. PS: Attention La photo que l'on voit sur le sur la page du site ne correspond pas du tout à l'hôtel mais à un hôpital 300 mètres plus loin. Imaginez ma surprise!!!!!!
