My friend and I stayed at Ca' del Campo Hotel in September 2011. This hotel is in a perfect position. So very close to St Mark's square. Walking around Venice was wonderful and this hotel is in such a central position. The rooms were comfortable and quiet. Service was exemplary. Breakfast is served in a quaint dining room and was of excellent standard.

The hotel is conveniently located behind Piazza San Marco, and handy to most places. The hotel is on the upper floor of a renovated building, and is fully modern and tastefully decorated. A bonus was that our room overlooked the canal. There is a good continental breakfast, and the staff were very helpful with directions and with arranging water transportation to the railway station. Double glazed windows mean a quiet room, and a fully-equipped modern bathroom and central air conditioning added to the comfort.

Even with the elevator, there are a few steps (less than 5) to navigate to reach reception on the second floor - important if stairs are a problem. And be sure to have an accurate, detailed map for find the hotel if you are coming from the vaporetti stop near San Marco or on foot. The hotel isn't far, but there are a few twists and turns in the narrow streets to navigate as you tote your luggage. (We found the street address wasn't enough for many locals to guide you.) If you are coming by water taxi, make sure it drops you at the canal dock a few feet from the door of the hotel.
