Hotel Orion

Excellent location, mid-way between Rialto and St Marks. Clean accommodation, bed made and towels changed every day. Small room but adequate. Quite warm, but left window open. Very pleasant staff. Lots of bars and restaurants literally on the doorstep. Bathroom very small but adequate (it's an old building so to be expected). Beautifully restored beams in our room on 4th floor. Extremely good value for money for such a central location.

Very nice family run hotel located right next to Piazza San Marco. Very clean and well kept rooms. But what we loved most is the staff.. from Melba who took care of breakfast, the nice receptionists who were always happy to greet us and help. And last and most important the lovely owner Concetta who treated us like family. This was our first stay at this hotel but we are planning to stay here again next year. Thank you Hotel Orion for a memorable stay and see you again next year 😍

We were out all day so really needed just a base to explore from. This hotel meets that requirement very well, being within very easy walking distance of St Marks and the Rialto Bridge. It is rated 2 star and certainly met our expectations as such - clean, comfortable room and good choice at breakfast. Staff were very friendly, always smiling. As other reviews mention, it is an older building so there is no lift so if you are on a higher floor you need to be prepared for stairs after a long day in town. Breakfast room is on the second floor. The breakfast room is quite small so they do ask you to estimate when you might want breakfast but there is usually space. Usual continental options available for breakfast. The bathroom was small, tucked into the eaves, but perfectly adequate with a small shower. There are no communal areas but there is a small space outside where you can take food (eg takeaway pizza) as they ask you not to take food to the rooms.

The hotel is well located in the heart of Venice and is just a few feet away from St Mark's Square and a short walk to Rialto Bridge. The staff were very friendly and always available to help. The rooms are very clean and refreshed daily. Toiletries were all replenished each day and come in sustainable packaging. Room was spacious and very comfortable. Some guests may struggle without a lift but the staff are willing to help if needs be.

The staff was beyond belief helpful and kind. Always there to support, even when we had to leave to catch the boat to the airport very early in the morning!
