Stayed here in Oct 10. We loved everything about Seguso it is absolutely charming in every way. It’s like stepping back to a really special place in time. Lovely old world furniture with chandeliers and rooms are spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Breakfast is simple but adequate (thats Italy) and served in the beautiful dining room. We found this place... More

This charming hotel is right next to the more famous La Calcina on the Zattere: but don't let Ruskin's hotel overshadow the Seguso. It is as old-fashioned as you could possibly want - not a television in sight and who would want one given the glory of Venice ? I am not quite sure why I write this review as... More

What a completely authentic Venice experience! I first stayed at Seguso in 1988 and again a few weeks ago. In between I tried the Danielli, the Cipriani, the Gritti and other less storied hotels in Venice. I adore Pensione Seguso and will return again. It’s not for everyone…but seasoned travelers who crave a real sense of place will love it.... More

This hotel would have been better had it been priced lower. The location was excellent, but the room was overcrowded with dark, heavy furniture. The "breakfast" was the most disappointing in three weeks of travel in Italy. It was basically a cup of caffe and a piece of raisin bread. I fully appreciate the Italian breakfast, but this was cheap... More

My wife and I just enjoyed another trip to Venice. We've stayed in many of the best places, from pensiones to 5-star, and we've never had a better time than at Pensione Seguso! From the warm welcome by Yvonne and Ashan to the beautiful balconied room on the small canal, we couldn't have been happier. The sound of the water... More

We stayed for four nights at the Seguso recently, and in spite of its flaws it is one of those places you end up loving. It is beautifully located right at the corner of the broad Guidecca Canal and a small inner canal, and our double-aspect room looked out on both. The room was small but very clean, and the... More

Was recommended to us, but we would not recommend it to anyone! Had to share a bathroom which could have been cleaner. Rooms were a bit pokey. Breakfast was a disgrace. Cotton wooly rolls and cake, although the coffee was good. Everything in Venice is expensive but this B & B is not worth 160 Euros a night. More

I booked a single night at the Pensione Seguso hoping for the best but fearing the worst based on the reviews here. I was delighted with my stay. Do NOT expect a typical American hotel: there is no television, no ice machine, no minibar. It felt just like the pensiones I stayed in throughout Italy twenty years ago, only with... More

I first stayed here about thirty-five years ago in the days when it was run by the formidable Emma Seguso. She never seemed to sleep - and one would creep in at four in the morning only to be accosted with a terrible, reproachful glare. It was always patronised by fairly grand yet bargain-seeking English cultural types - broke but... More

I loved this hotel. Old style italian. I guess all the rooms have a view eiter to a next island or the smaller canal. Only, all the rooms don't have a toilet but never saw anybody on the way... The lovalisation is very good too close to waterbus station and walking distance from São Marco square. More
