Ca' Dei Polo

The location was excellent -close to the train station and within easy walking distance to many major sites.

*The wifi didn't work so I couldn't contact family to let them know of my arrival. *There was no soap whatsoever in the bathroom (I'd only brought lotion and shampoo). *The toilet lid wasn't probably secured and fell off first time I used the toilet. *The water in the sink didn't drain. The owners (family members reside in, operate the place; it's not a hotel) were only available during certain hours for check-in and to collect the 5 Euro/night fee (seemed high). When I finally saw them and politely expressed my concerns, they smiled politely but did nothing before I left.

Convenient location with a good organic bakery and other little cafes near by. Our room was comfortable but the pull out couch-bed was horribly uncomfortable. We appreciate the small fridge, good air conditioning (it was very hot in Venice when we were there) and a good size bathroom. There’s a roof top patio that was very nice to relax on in the evening (but beware of mosquitoes!)

Like the title of my review says, don’t expect great hospitality. The front desk hours are from 8am - 1pm. We checked in at 8pm and were met by a voice on the intercom that gave us directions to pick up our envelope on the front desk. The young woman who we met at the front desk the morning after we checked in thought we were checking out and insisted she take our keys. It took some time to convince her who we were. Not a big deal but just an illustration of issues that came up due to the lack of staff at the front desk. We never saw another staff member after that one time. And as stated before, the pull out bed was horribly uncomfortable.
