| This is a very good hotel for a visit to Venice.It is fairly easy to find and can be accessed on foot with wheeled luggage from the Rialto vaporetto stop (just make sure you are on the right side of the grand canal (the St Mark's side)) without mach bother. By foot around 5mins to Rialto, 15mins to S.Marco Reception staff very helpful with perfect english spoken. The decor is grand in keeping with the style of Venice and this adds to the atmosphere of the place. Very comfortable ,cool and quiet. We had quad room and were moved (due to planned maintenance) to the 'suite' with the balcony shown on photos This was very grand and exciting for the kids with always activity to watch on the canal it overlooks. Breakfast fine,breakfast room again grandly decorated. Adjacent small restaurant fine and reasonably priced though loads of places to eat on adjacent Strada Nova. Inevitably you don't spend long in a hotel on a city break however for us the Antico Doge was ideal and certainly a place to recommend/ use again.A trip to Venice is not cheap but this hotel is ,I think, relatively good value. |

| We stayed in a Junior Suite ovelooking the canal. it was clean and spacious, check in was efficient, the staff were friendly and spoke good english. Breakfast was included and was quite nice. The minibar was well stocked and not overpriced. The hotel is literally two minutes walk from the the Rialto Bridge. Once you cross the bridge (going left to right on the map), just bear left following everyone else, go over a couple of small bridges and the hotel is on your left by some designer clothes shops. The marked location on the map is quite accurate but don't expect to see Sotoportego Falier on the map. When you pass Sotoportego Dolphin you're on the right lines and the hotel is jsut around the corner. The entrance looks exactly like the photo on the website, so keep your eyes open and you'll find it without too much trouble. |

| Very nice hotel! It costs, but will not dissapoint you (Venice is expensive). We spend a couple of nights in a very beautiful and romantic room. Close to Rialto, and everywhere. |

| The only problem was the noise from the nearby bar on Saturday evening - their music went on very late, and even with the windows closed, we were kept awake by this noise. |

| Our room was wonderful. We requested and received a room with a balcony and view and it was beautiful and spacious. The service staff was very helpful, assisting with restaurant reservations and early morning water taxi arrangements to the airport. We especially appreciated the service employee who attended to breakfast and our rooms, she was very kind and did a lovely job. Hotel is not on the main canal, but still in a nice area, convenient to all tourist spots, shops and restaurants. A little hard to find at first, but found direction from the locals. We walked to Rialto and to St. Mark's square and cathedral and window shopped along the way, only about 15/20 minute stroll (follow the signs)...one could take a water taxi, but it is best to walk in Venice! Would recommend this hotel to others and would stay here again. |

| Abbiamo prenotato l'Antico doge perche e' vicino al teatro Fondamente nuova dove abbiamo guardato un concerto. Non e facile a trovare l'hotel Antico Doge.Abbiamo chiesto a 5 persone e non sapevano dove si trovava. La colazione era deliziosa. |

| This Hotel was great! The staff was so helpful. Nice breakfast. Great location. Gave the perfect feel for Venice. Had a great tour of the Murano glass factory that we didn't know was included. Would not hesitate to stay there on our next visit. We loved it! |

| high quality hotel, gorgeous interior and rooms, service was excellent EXCEPT they failed to give us our wake up call, could have been disastrous on another day, and they did not take any responsibility for it, blaming it on "maybe" a phone off the hook - knock on our door if that was the case, geez! bitter ending to an otherwise very nice stay, just make sure you bring your mobile phone charger so that you can use it as an alarm clock =) |

| We were directed to the most private tours. We were shown to the best and most local - not touristy - restaurants. Any reservation we needed was made by staff. The rooms and amenities were wonderful - very comfortable. And, when I left my jacket at the hotel, staff went out of their way to have it sent to me in the U.S. For the price, this place is a steal. We definitely plan on returning. |

| This was a truly charming,lovely hotel. Quite easy to miss as it is very small from the outside, but our taxi found it without bother. Employees were quite helpful and spoke wonderful English. They recommended several terrific restaurants. Our room surpassed our expectations and was a delight. Well worth the price. We stayed only two days but would make it a longer visit in the future. |

| We stayed in Venice for 4 days. The weather is good. Only that everything is Venice is so expensive and at a unresonable price. I am wondering how can the local people lived in Venice. Due to the high season, it is hard to look for a space in restaurants. Luckily we did make reservation before going. |
