Hotel Ai Cavalieri di Venezia

Good location, breakfast was very nice, bar seemed fun (but didn’t go). The staff were very welcoming and friendly.

This was our second stay at Hotel Ai Cavalieri. The hotel is beautiful, with each room decorated differently . The rooms are very spacious and traditionally decorated. The hotel is quiet and very elegant. Staff is exceptional and work to meet our every request. Very nice breakfast. We give it our highest recommendation.

I really enjoyed the old world feel of the hotel. A few minutes walk from rialto - the hotel is located in the Santa Maria Formoso parish. Worth taking a water taxi from Marco Polo to arrive there if it’s your first time to appreciate the site of Venice from the water. The quiet parish of Santa Maria Formosa a major advantage as it is close to everything but away from main sites so not too noisy during day or night. Lots of cute side streets and canals that you can get lost on. The hotel service was impeccable. Friendly front of house who were helpful with reservations and recommending local food and bakeries (all recommendations excellent and authentic). Kind concierge, helpful pointing out room features. We were upgraded and provided a lovely terrace with no big fanfare which was charming. Small details were appreciated like complimentary Prosecco, sweets, bottled water. The cleanliness and turn down service impeccable. Breakfast was a generous continental affair and served in a lovely room with wonderful original ceiling and Venetian glass features. The breakfast staff were very accommodating and smiley. Given how crazy Venice was during the weekend of carnival and how utterly disrespectful some tourists are towards Venetian heritage, everyone remained so friendly that I really was impressed. I honestly think off season only way to visit Venice - I imagine it can be too packed in summer. Best advice to avoid crowds - take yourself off beaten track and head across rialto bridge past fish market for some wonderful ciccihetti. It’s really a beautiful city and worth a 3-4 day visit. We spent 3 days there and did not see half of it.

Customer Service

Very helpful staff assisted in the website to book car parking prior to visiting Venice. There was also luggage storage almost next door so we didn’t need to take any large suitcases. A water taxi was great value for 3 people & dropped us off at the hotel front door. The hotel was amazing. We would definitely stay there again. Walking distance to all main attractions as long as you don’t get lost ( which is part of the charm of Venice)
