Cà Rialto

the hotel smells like dump and both me and my wife got sick (allergies) becuase the smell of cigarette are sipping in our room

Excellent hotel, great service, no better location The hotel was incredibly easy to find, check-in was smooth and the bell-boy was lovely. The room view was not as expected, but the fact that we were so incredibly close to the Rialto bridge made up for it. The location was very advantageous. Excellent room, in antiquity-style. Very Venice, very lovely.

For the new traveller the term "Ca' " maybe confusing . The Ca' for Italy is a classification that denotes "house or residence", owned by the 'Main Hotel', not the hotel proper. In North American terms we would note it as "other or adjacent" building. In review of the travel website we used this was definitely not made clear in the promotion of the hotel. Upon arrival at the Rialto Hotel we were informed we were in the 'other' building and were escorted into two back alley ways (comically 'streets' in Venice) and then taken to a non-descript door and let inside. We entered a converted home or apartment from earlier times. We first noted that there was no elevator, our room was on the second floor. We had to climb a single stair of 33 steps, then a winding small hallway to our room. The room was a good size, very clean and fitted out in a classical renaissance style, very quaint. But the curtains did not allow you to open the windows to open the shutters, so basically the room was windowless. The bathroom was large but had a very percarious tub/shower combo, that respectfully, would challenge the elderly, disabled or large traveller.There is no on-site security only an intercom to the front desk in the other building. We are very well healed, physically fit, backpacking early 60's travellers, who have experience in these situations and we were very fine with our stay. But this is not the Holiday Inn/Best Western model of stay. So do your homework re 'Ca'. Hope this helped.

Recommended It is definitely in a very good location. Fun stay, clean, and accessible to practically everything you need. The one and only problem is your access to room. Not the easiest task but staff will be there to help.

Wunderbarer zweitägiger Aufenthalt im Ca Rialto House während eines Venedig-Besuchs zum 40. Geburtstag eines Freundes. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und nichts war zu viel Mühe. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig, sauber und sehr ruhig. Es liegt perfekt neben der Rialtobrücke und der Wassertaxi-Haltestelle zum Flughafen. Viele nette Cafés und Supermärkte in der Nähe, wo man frühstücken und alles andere kaufen kann, was man braucht. Wir kauften Champagner und kühlten ihn in unserem Minikühlschrank, um ihn auf unsere Gondelfahrt mitzunehmen. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder hier übernachten, da die Preise für die Lage sehr vernünftig sind.

We had 2 rooms booked. Both rooms are very elegant and stylish in Venice theme. Each room had a mini bar, bathtub, large bathroom, and windows. The rooms were soundproof and right near the Canal, shops, eateries and public ferry at the Rialto stop. We would stay here again if back in Venice.
