My wife and I recently stayed two nights here. Great location - about 5 minute walk from St. Peter's square. On a pretty little canal with gondolas constantly floating by. Our room had a nice little terrace where we could relax and enjoy wine and cheese after a wonderful day exploring the beautiful city of Venice. Served a nice breakfast... More

This hotel was actually better than I expected it to be from pictures and reviews. The location is fantastic! It was easy to get to- a short walk from the vaporetto. It's also only a couple minutes walk from Piazza San Marco- the heart of the action, and yet it was totally quiet at night. The rooms are very plain... More

My husband and I recently stayed here for 3 nights in Venice. The location is excellent and the hotel is a good value for the price. Do not expect anything other than the bare minimum for facilities though. A word of caution: this hotel is not for the light sleeper as it is extremely noisy and walls are thin.

My fiancé and I stayed at this hotel for our anniversary/ my birthday. We had an amazing time in Venice and this hotel was a perfect base. Very basic but we knew it would be. Staff were very friendly, breakfast was nice. Lovely view from our room. Could do with some more modern decor but was comfortable. I left my... More

This 1 star hotel was recommended by Rick Steves from public tv as a moderate cost, basic hotel. Considering how expensive Venice is, I booked this thinking it would be basic, but sufficient at 375 euro for 3 nights. I honestly can't recommend this hotel. No TV, no free wifi, and the most depressing room I've slept in, ever. Even... More

If you are simply looking for a place to lay your head, this could meet that need. However, the rooms are like college dormatory rooms and the towels sink. They put a chemical bug control plug in our room to kill the mosquitoes that are let inside when the maid opens the window each day. The breakfast fills but is... More

I stayed here for 2 nights with my mom and sister and we had a great stay. The location of the hotel (once we found it for the first time!) was perfect for us- very close to St. Mark's Square and a few vaporetto stops. We had limited time in Venice, so we didn't spend much time in the hotel,... More

Stairs, stairs & more stairs. If you aren't ready to climb, don't go to Italy!! The Locanda Silva was a convenient location & a decent value, especially with the simple breakfast included. We had two beds in the room, and they were narrow, firm to the point of being hard, and very close together. The bathroom was typical for Italy... More

Having read mixed reviews prior to booking this hotel, I am pleased to say that we were not disappointed. In terms of the cost for hotels in Venice (exuberant prices!) then this budget hotel was ideal. The location was fantastic near to San Marco, so you can easily find when you have roamed for miles around the cross network of... More
