I had a very nice stay in Friendly Venice. It’s relatively easy to find by walking as long as you're following the yellow signs for the Accademia Bridge, which almost anyone on the street can point you in the right direction to. The location is great; it’s only a 10 minute walk away from St. Mark’s square. Some of the... More

great location and exceptional daytime personnel. however, more than half of the light bulbs in this hostel did not work (and one can't help thinking it is intentional - which is why there are two stars missing here instead of one). Night-time personnel lacks any sense of professionality. premisses nice , but with these people during the night you don't... More

I traveled to Venice for Christmas with two friends and we loved staying at Friendly Venice! We made a reservation despite mixed reviews, and we are so glad we did. The staff was beyond nice, hospitable, and helpful. Though there was a bit of a language barrier, it was not frustrating or prohibiting to getting our questions answered. The room... More

It was an excellent experience, The location of the place is very central and its very close to the Saint Mark's square. The place is very economical and completely worth it. The staff (Mr Prem) is very cooperative and he speaks and understand English very well. Over all it was a great experience.

But venice is very hot in summer. Hotter than I expected. My room was near 30 every night. The rooms are big and spacious and clean and comfortable. The staff is very friendly. There... More

This was my first stay at Friendly Venice B&B and my last! I booked this B&B through Venere.com. Almost immediately, I received an email from the B&B (not an individual) asking me what time I would be checking in this morning. I replied 11am and then asked for directions to their B&B within the Campo and they replied. When I... More
