Great location - minutes away from train station. Room was basic but good size. Bathroom okay, but shower was small and awkward to get in and out of.

Great stay! Very clean had everything we needed. There is no reception, however the owners were readily available for questions. Process to getting into our room was easy via messaging the owner had sent a few days prior to our arrival.
Overall the stay was great. Getting to store our luggage before checkin was a nice plus. Outside the property was dirty and had a scammer, but I can’t blame the hotel for that.
The location and view is excellent. Difficult to find the door to enter building.The cleaniness is poor, safe not secured makes it useless.

I don’t think AC worked. Didn’t see any controls anywhere. Entrance looks like you are walking into a very rough place but rooms are clean and presentable, but very basic. Supplies are extremely minimal. No food items whatsoever. I did not compare prices, so I cannot speak for value. The location was excellent, and we felt safe. Door and walls are paper thin. That all said, we did have a nice stay!
Excellent view from our room of the canal. Room was comfortable and clean. This is a third floor room with stairs only. But Venice is nothing but stairs anyway.
Great rooom with all the needed amenities: extra towels, body wash, extra pillows, closet with hangers, safe box, blow dryer, towel warmer. Room/bathroom was very clean. Great location next to the main canal and about a 10 minute walk from the train station. Would definitely recommend this place.
The room looked fine online but looks can be deceiving. The wall behind the bed is filthy don’t think it’s been washed in years. The shower grout lines are black in many areas, black mold? No drinking glasses not even in the common area. So don’t buy a bottle of wine unless you are ok with drinking it directly from the bottle! Location was fine as it is directly on the grand canal. No view from our window. We were in room 4. Mattress and pillows were hard as rock! Oh and many many stairs to navigate and some of the metal rods that hold the carpet are loose and in the middle of the step, we kept kicking them back so we didn’t trip on them. All in all stay away….stay far far away!

Strategic position with a great view. The room is very basic for the price but considering it's Venice it's fair enough I guess.
The property was in a great location close to all transportation. The suite was very spacious. Be prepared to climb a lot of stairs.

The location was good, The building in the picture is not the building, its the one across the river. There was no air condition and no stairs. Very difficult to carry bags up so many flights of stairs if you are partially handicap. There was no mention of it in the description of the building.
It was a little bit of a strange experience, but a clean room and great view! Communication all happens on the day of arrival, which was a bit worrying for planning, but it all worked out great! Only downside is no AC
Stay here ONLY if you need to be next to the train station.
The good:
5 minutes away and can see train station from this apt/hotel. Awesome view from the “common area” window. Easy access to food and shops. Off site staff replied quickly to my emails.
The not so good:
Cool outside in early May but inside room was 30c/86f - opened windows but that just let in all the mosquitoes! Staff said they couldn’t turn AC on till later in the month when it’s warmer. It worked out since 2nd day had a cold shower (no hot water!) instant wake up to catch 6am train.
Don’t count on WiFi as it was virtually useless ( maybe turned off in the evening?)
This was a lovely stay for our first time in Venice. We had a great view of the canal and the room was very spacious. The only challenge was walking up the stairs with our luggage since there is no elevator but other than that, it was very convenient location and beautiful place. Just an FYI, it is mentioned on the description that there in no staff on site. They were good about keeping contact via WhatsApp. Also, you cannot control the thermostat. Luckily it was cool enough at night to not need that ( for the hot bodies out there).

The Grand Canal Hotel is clean and conveniently located near the train station. However, our stay was disappointing. The air conditioning couldn't cool our room below 27°C, and the pre-arrival process was tedious with numerous messages, links, and a document uploads.
Additionally, there is no staff on-site. Despite booking a suite, it felt more like a hostel than a hotel, with a shared common area just outside our room door. It did not meet our expectations.
Other than check-in, great hotel. This hotel does not have a front desk - it is a coded building. We were on a cruise before staying here, so didn’t realize we needed a code to get in. We called upon arrival, and completed the necessary documents, and were told we could get the code quickly, but it took over and hour and a half and we had to call back multiple times. Also, you need WhatsApp or internet to receive and complete the necessary check-in documents. Once in, it was fine. Safe, clean room with a nice view.

Entrance door lock was not working. Random people were coming inside and asking if room was available. No elevator or Lift. To carry luggage 3 floors on stairs was not easy. Rooms were good size and comfortable. Could improve if restroom or toilet and small pantry for tea and coffee are added to the common area.
The common room was lovely but the room itself was cold, could not get a response on how to turn heat on. There was still garbage in the bathroom, other peoples left overs in fridge and the shower is extremely small. There is no atmosphere to the room what so ever. The safe can be picked up and carried away and the doors can easily be opened with a credit card! The only good thing ws the location and the view.

First, the star rating system above doesnt work. and ther was no staff there anyway. I was hard to find, even with the maps. Perhaps the map should point out that the geen door is tucked in a corner, not actually facng the street/canal. The suite was Ok, a little confusing with the 2 bathrooms. The living room was very sparsly decorated-- we saw int the living room/lobby for rooms 2, 3, 4, 5 & it was much nicer. Also, we couldnt get the safe to work. But good lacation for our needs & we foind some good restaurants too.
