Al Ponte Mocenigo

My gorgeous boyfriend got me a trip to Venice for my xmas present. 4 months later I was finally able to cash it in! So basically, i didnt do any research, i didnt look into anything at all, which is very rare for me. All this to say it was all a surprise & i cannot comment on price.
Nonetheless, what a great pick! A lovely little hotel, with gorgeous little room, with high ceilings. Lovely little old school rooms. Service was great, breakfast included wasnt the most amazing but the ladies were so friendly, happy to set our breakfast in the patio (we started the trend for the following mornings! :)) & the bread was warm out of the oven!
Highly recommend!

My wife and I used this hotel during a recent trip to Venice. It’s really easy to get to from the train and the airport is only a boat ride away. The water taxis are right out its front door, which can be a little tricky to find. The rooms are very clean and quiet. The morning breakfast is very fresh and the service is excellent.
One other little bonus was the hotel did not require a down payment in order to secure the reservation. We paid when we were leaving the hotel, which was a little nice. The innkeeper said”… We never have problems with customers coming after they reserve a room. We may have a couple ‘no-​slows’ but someone is always willing to take an empty room”.

Wonderful spot, recommended by a friend. Gracious and accommodating hosts, well appointed with AC and free WiFi. A spectacular breakfast in the courtyard featuring fresh baked bread and fruit filled croissants. The rooms are decorated in a wonderful old-​world Venitian style and ours also had a quaint sitting room. Very reasonably priced… we look forward to returning!

I am sitting the beautiful court yard after a day of sight seeing. It’s a quiet retreat from the crowds and it’s refreshing atmosphere is a pleasant sanctuary.
The attention to detail, beautiful rooms, and amazingly accommodating staff will draw us back to this hotel again.
It is also close to neighborhood restaurants that have been better than those closer to tourist sights.
We are frequent visitors to Venice and WILL return here!

Great hotel. Great staff. They were so nice and helpful. The room was air conditioned and very clean. The bed was also comfortable. Wifi came in and out but that’s okay. Shops are nearby and you are right by the water bus so you can get anywhere. Breakfast was good, cappuccino was delicious. If we ever visit Venice again this is where we will be staying.

This hotel was absolutely great to say the least. It has a great breakfast which is included in the stay and the location was far enough (but still walking distance) from the Rialto Grand Canal area where it is nice and quiet. The room we had was very French style which was very nice and the bathroom was top notch in cleanliness and modern. One of the best parts is that if you are traveling to Venice via train, the train station is really close to this hotel. I definitely recommend this hotel to all couples.
Stayed November 2013

I loved staying in this hotel. So many things to talk about… where can I begin? Ah… let me make a list.
Pros
(a) Location — situated just a few meters away from San stae water bus station. Made it real easy to walk with luggage. 15 – 30 mins walk away from all other top attractions, restaurants etc.
(b) Vibe — Think of a beautifully decorated 15^th century room. This is it! Really.
© Service — pleasant and accommodating at all times.
(d) Breakfast — May be this should be a con. I had so much yummy food that i gained a pound!
(e) Free wifi, great service staff (who made up our room so well — note worthy)
Tricky — Price. We found a good deal but it is expensive but on par for the area. Venice is expensive.
Cons — none. Road to other attractions can be confusing but Venice is confusing. I got lost for a few hours :)

Sehr schönes Hotel für einen romantischen Ausflug über’s lange Wochenende. Alle Zimmer sind unterschiedlich eingerichtet und bis auf eines groß genug. Bei der Reservierung würde ich darauf bestehen, eben dieses nicht zu bekommen. Vor dem Hotel befindet sich ein schöner, eingezäunter Platz und überall finden sich geschmackvoll dekorierte Blumen. Sehr schönes Haus!

Beautiful hotel with incredible service and lovely rooms away from the crowds of Venice. Easily accessible and located in the quiet Santa Croce which is away from the masses who visit Venice and a wonderful reprive at the end of the day. I was traveling with my sons and was given a very large double room in the annex with views of the canal. The room was beautifuly decorated in the Venetian style and the bathrooms were large, newly updated and sparkeling clean. The breakfast each morning was served in their peaceful courtyard and the staff was amazing and helped us with everything we needed. I’d highly recommend staying here while in Venice.

Great value for your money in Venice! When I told my fiancé that the Venice hotel we’ll be staying at was only rated 2 stars, he wasn’t expecting much. But what we got, we felt was much more than what we paid for. This is a wonderful hotel with old Venetian charm, but all the modern amenities you need while traveling (ok, maybe not AC during certain months, but that’s not the hotel’s fault… it’s the law). From the point of reserving my room via e-​mail to check-​out, we felt very welcomed and everyone was extremely helpful. We got directions, restaurant recommendations, train schedules and had every question answered with outmost patience.
We had a double superior room with the view of a canal for 2 nights. The room was excellent, with high ceilings and traditional Venetian décor; the bathroom was recently remodeled and spotless! I would have like a bit more space for my toiletries (I have a lot) and a more powerful hair dryer, but both were just a minor inconvenience. Despite the room overlooking the canal, we slept very well and didn’t hear much noise in the morning. But we did sleep with our windows closed, would just get some air in before going to sleep.
Breakfast was good with hot croissants, yogurt, cereal, juices and yummy cappuccinos! We’ve had similar breakfast at all of our hotels in Italy (sans hot croissants).
Hotel location is excellent. While it’s about 15 – 30 minute walk (depending on how many photos you take along the way) to the San Marco square, we loved being in this quiet neighborhood and very close to the San Stae vaporetto stop. We actually wanted to be away from the main square, I felt it was a great way to experience real Venice. I suggest you consider getting the Vaporetto pass, this way you will be able to take it anytime, especially at night after doing a lot of walking and eating.
Finding the hotel… just follow the directions you get from the hotel and you will have no issues finding the back door and will not have to cross any bridges, which is a BIG plus in Venice. I posted a picture of the super narrow «street» you take to get to the back door of the hotel, because we couldn’t believe it was it when we first saw it. From the airport, we took bus #5 to the 1^st vaporetto stop and vaporetto #1 to get to San Stae. You can include bus #5 ride to/​from the airport with your vaporetto pass, it’s just a few euros more. I was concerned that this will take much longer, since we were arriving on a holiday, but the trip took us less than an hour and it was a relatively easy trip.
Thank you Al Ponte Moncenigo for making our stay in Venice comfortable and memorable!
