I managed to be in Venice during the worst 'acqua alta' flooding they have had for the last 30 years. Fortunately I was staying at the Hotel American which is on high ground (for Venice). The flood waters did enter the hotel but the staff dealt with the situation as best they could and were very accommodating to all the... more

We booked the Hotel American Dinesen based on the information found on this website and were not disappointed. The location was ideal and was only a short walk or vaporetto ride from all the major tourist sites such as St. Mark's Square, Rialto Bridge, Accademia, etc. Upon check-in, we received a free upgrade to a room with a balcony view... more

Great location in Venice--quiet, but not too far from main attractions. Delicious breakfast. Friendly staff. more

A great hotel in great area of Venice, the Dorsoduro. Just a two minute walk from the Accademia ferry terminal.Try wandering away from the hotel, south, through the small lanes to find the real Venice - restaurants and canal side bars frequented by locals. The hotel rooms are relatively small, but they are clean, quiet and comfortable. Staff are very... more

We loved this hotel. The location is wonderful. Dosoduro is very quiet, but full of places to see. Only a five minute walk to the Guggenheim and Accademia museums. The shops in this area have a higher quality of merchandise and we bought beautiful glass and scarves that were much better than the places near St Marks. The hotel was... more

We four friends got a 4-bed room for € 260 through booking.com In the beautiful [and expensive] city of Venice, it was a cosy and friendly lodging. Staff was helpful, location was almost perfect, breakfast ok … so it was a pleasant stay, no doubt. more

A few pleasant streets from water-bus terminal, canals, and restaurants. Everyone gets lost in Venice, so get closer to hotel before sundown the first day or two, although Venice is very safe. Beautiful hotel. Clean room & bathroom with amenities & bidet & 110 volt outlet, but small shower. Great AC. In-room safe. Multi-country satellite flat tv. Canal-view balcony is... more

A great little hotel in a lovely area of Venice (Dorsoduro) which we chose after checking out the info on Trip Advisor. We booked direct with the hotel (good rates) and opted for a canal view room as other reviewers had recommended. It was well worth the bit extra; the room was charming, with ample storage space, a lovely bath/shower... more

This lovely hotel is on one of the smaller canals and easily accessible from the Acadmie vaporetta stop. The rooms were up to date and very clean. The staff was very helpful - no language problems at all. The double rooms are spacious - however the single rooms are tiny. Traveled with companions who had a balcony room which was... more
