Lovely Hotel with a terrific location just 5 minutes walk from St Marks Square. Superior rooms are very comfortable and spacious with a wonderful view of the Lagoon. San Giorgio Maggiore island is right opposite. The waterbus stop right outside can get noisy with boat horns, but it's worth it for the view. Hotel has it's own jetty for water taxi, which is very useful. Staff very competent. Breakfast was very nice with a good range of items. We would certainly stay here again.

Cant fault the hotel in any way, it was all the reviews good points combined. I do think that guides to Venice should point out the high probablity (2-3 days a week)of very cold fog from Nov through to February. But the hotel was so warm it wasnt a problem, lots to do but no views!

This was our first time in Venice, so first time at the Hotel. Brilliant stay. We did our research before we went, as it was our First Anniversary and we wanted to stay somewhere really nice. Locanda Vivaldi was perfect and the location was brilliant, right near St Mark's Sq. but just far enough so it feels like you have space with the Lagoon right outside our window and the canal to the side. All the staff were excellent, thank you. They looked after everything and anything and booked us a table, at late notice; for the Venice Jazz Club. (Which was one of the highlights of the trip) Breakfast was good with big choice of cereals, pastries and more. Will stay there again when we next visit Venice, no question. There is a small bit of noise in the morning because the front of the hotel is on the promenade, but this wasn't a problem at all, just trying to make the review complete! I wouldn't have changed it at all though because it meant we had a great view, with space, so you didn't feel anyway claustrophobic, having to look at an alley like in some other hotels; as lots of others that we saw during walks around had a "view" across a 2 metre alley. Don't hesitate just book it!

I visited Venice with my husband and our teenage grandaughter in June; we stayed three nights at the Locanda Vivaldi. Our rooms were beautifully decorated and furnished, as is the hotel as a whole. My huband and I had a room overlooking the lagoon which was lovely, our grandaughter was a little dissapointed that her room overlooked a bit of garden. This hotel is ideally situated to visit St Marks and most of the essential sights of Venice; I would have no hesitation in recommending it. We especially enjoyed being able to arrive and leave the hotel by water taxi, the turn down service and the breakfasts.
