I just came back from Venice, Italy and stayed in this little wonderful hotel Locanda Orseolo. They had really nice rooms, friendly service and I'd like to praise them somewhere on the net so they can get a little more attention that they deserve. Where's a good place to do this?

Lisa,<BR><BR>Hotel looks good on the website and it's a new place. Tell us more about your stay there. Also, do you have a direct email / website for them? I keyed in and came up with several sites that list this hotel (http://veniceby.com/orseolo/) for example; however I prefer to go directly to the source.<BR>

I can't find the hotel direct site either, although hotelinvenice.com is the closest I can get.... we booked through veniceby. The hotel was extremely clean, has all new remodeled interior (bed, desk, bathroom, floor, curtain, hallway, stairs, you get the idea) although the exterior looks more than couple hundred years old. Good size room and bathroom for Europe, we stayed for EU 170 per night for 3 of us. Very close to St. Mark's square, yet tucked in a little courtyard you cannot hear or feel any of the tourist crowd. No elevator (there's only 3 or 4 floors), hard to find the first time (the map is not very helpful) but very friendly service (they booked our train tickets for us).

Lisa, am considering this hotel for our family of 2 adults and 2 children. Could you describe the room/bathroom for the 3 of you? How was the breakfast? Thanks!

Hi ccc,<BR>I would say the room in Locanda Orseolo we had was about 12' by 18' for the room with 10' high ceilings, and about 8' by 8' for the bathroom. Had a nice little secretary table, TV, in room safe but no fridge. This room was supposively a double room, they added a rollaway bed for us and we still had plenty of room to walk around. I don't know if they have bigger rooms for more people, but it was quite good for us three adults. Breakfast is served in the downstairs dining room where you can see the small canal of Orseolo, and they serve buffet style breakfast (croissant, ham, cheese, other types of bread, coffee, milk, orange juice, cereal) We absolutely loved it. And by the way, the little sandwich shop right outside of this hotel has some real good sandwich, cheap too. Have fun!

Thanks Lisa for your reply. Made a reservation. The hotel said the quad room would consist of a double room and a sitting room with the extra beds. Thanks for the sandwich shop info. Can't wait!
