Room and bathroom much better than expected from previous reviews both quite big and nicely decorated. Staff all lovely and helpful but possibly not strict enough with the engineer who was always coming tomorrow to fix the lift! We got the no 5 bus from outside the airport and then the no 1 vaporetto all the way down the Grand... More

My husband and I took a trip to Italy to celebrate my 30th birthday and our 5 year anniversary. Venice was our last stop on the trip. The Ca' Formenta hotel staff was very kind and helpful. We got a room with lagoon view, and the view from the room and bathroom windows were stunning- definitely worth the extra money.... More

We didn't have a room with a view, but the table and chairs provided in front made up for it. The Ca' Formenta was conveniently located two bridges from the Arsenal vaporetti (water taxi). While close enough to the popular sights and sounds and Venice, we found ourselves amongst a neighborhood of authentic Venetians. The friendly service and true venetian... More

Hotel staff were helpful, and well informed. Room was clean but a little compact. Bathroom had smallest shower we had ever seen! Breakfast selection was ok. No tea/coffee making facilities in room. Free wifi was fine. Lift was out of order, and appeared to have been so for some time. Location was convenient, nicely away from the main drag to... More

We enjoyed our visit to Venice seeing all the sights and enjoying some lovely meals. The hotel was lovely and the view from our room was fantastic. We paid extra for the lagoon view (room 406) which was worth every penny. The room was clean and had a mini bar fridge, but no kettle or tea and coffee making facilities... More

Fantastic location within easy reach of St Marks Square and great views over the water front. Staff were very friendly and efficient and assisted us in many ways. Breakfast was good with lots of choice even though there was no hot food. The icing on the cake for us was that they picked up on the fact that it was... More

Such a great location, and only yards from the Arsenale vaporetto and a ten minute walk to St mark's Square. It is a small hotel with really friendly staff, good rooms and a nice breakfast with lots of choice. The Arsenale area is really nice, with some good restaurants and quaint back streets to walk through to Rialto Bridge. The... More

Situated next to the waterfront, Hotel Ca' Formenta has a great location if you want to explore Venice. You can reach almost everything just by walking. The best way to get here from the airport is to take a Alilaguna boat (15 euros), which stops at Arsenale. Then, you are only two bridges away from the hotel. Extremely friendly staff... More
