Wonderful Hotel in a Wonderful Location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Pausania. It is a modest hotel with a warm friendly atmosphere in a building characterized by the history and classic architecture of old Venice. Upon arrival guests enter the hotel through a historic stone courtyard that makes you feel like you have traveled back in time. The room was comfortable, clean and spacious enough to accommodate four of us, including our two children with separate beds. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us when we accidentally dropped a ring down the sink drain. They were miraculously able to retrieve it for us! And the location!! I can't say enough about the location. Dorsoduro has none of the hordes of tourists and daytrippers that San Marco and San Polo have but all of the charm! There are plenty of restaurants, shops and picturesque piazzas surrounding the hotel and all within walking distance of the more famous attractions such as St. Mark's, etc. I can't recommend Hotel Pausania enough!

10/10 Exceptional

Very good hotel!

The room was spacious and comfortable but the bathroom was a bit cramped because of the bidet. Overall it felt clean but the water kettle seemed a bit dusty so I didn't use it (it would have been nice to make myself some coffee though). There was an AC and a mini bar which was very nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I needed to leave at night when it was dark outisde and the man who worked in the reception was very helpful, he told me which way was the fastest and safest to the bus station and also gave me some cookies. The location is very good and felt very safe. It's close to Piazzale Roma where the buses, trains and boats are.
Sara, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel Pausania is a very well kept 3* hotel in the charming quarter of Dorsoduro, where some of the best museums and galleries are located. The vaporetto stop is Ca' Rezzonico, where the Alilaguna airport boat can be reached. Don't miss the opportunity to visit Ca' Rezzonico, an 18th century noble palace where you can have a glimpse of the richness of the Republic in elaborate carvngs, paintings and authentic furnishings. Brocaded walls, silken coverings, a walk-in closet with delicately hand painted doors can be seen up close. There is a cafe where you can enjoy a reasonably priced sandwich and drink overlooking the Grand Canal, a premium in Venice. The front desk manager was genteel and helpful in all matters, including help with luggage, as there is no elevator in this authentic Venetian former residence. Restaurants are plentiful a short walk away on Piazza San Barnaba. Ristoteca Oniga was my favorite, with delicious Venetian specialties, friendly service and rustic ambience. Or, turn left as you exit the hotel, cross the little bridge and head to Piazza San Margarita, a huge square lined with good, affordable restaurants, gelaterias and several ATMs. The hotel serves a good breakfast overlooking a pleasant garden. The cold cuts are above average. I would return in a heartbeat, but bring a wash cloth because they are rarely supplied in this category hotel. The towels, mattress and bedding were excellent, however. A great choice in the quiet heart of Venice.

Dejligt roligt hotel med flotte værelser og fællesarealer i en stille gade. Meget venligt personale. Pænt og rent. Morgenmadsrestaurant ud mod den stille have. Vi skulle rejse inden morgenmaden kl 8 men blev tilbudt at komme, mens de stillede frem til morgenmaden og fik derfor alligevel både mad og kaffe inden afgang. Der er gode restauranter i området. Et besøg på Leonardo da Vinci museet på det nærtliggende torv, Campo San Barnaba, kan varmt anbefales; afsæt god tid, hvis man vil se den spændende film/dokumentar om da Vincis liv. Det er let at komme til hotellet fra lufthavnen med båd: tag Alilaguna, den orange linje, til stoppet Ca' Rezzonico, så er der ca 300 meter til hotellet.

No shower in room - only bathtub which was disappointing and not made clear on Expedia app. Breakfast choices were mediocre and limited compared to hotels in Florence and Rome which we stayed at after Venice. They also gave only one complimentary bottle of water for tea and coffee which was cheap. Unlimited water should be available for price of room. Location of hotel was good and quiet.
