    What lovely staff! So helpful and friendly. The hotel is spotlessly clean. Great air con and plenty of hot water. Good breakfast. Great location that is close to the centre and quiet overnight. First impressions were misleading. It’s a much nicer hotel than late night arrival indicated.

    The location was excellent. Close to everything The air conditioning was not properly working.

    The reception people were very kind and helpful

    Location, view from balcony, beautiful breakfast room. Elevator was broken for an entire week stay.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The room was dirty, and the bed was so uncomfortable that it caused back pain. There was almost nothing provided in the room besides towels, very small shampoo bottles, and soap bars. There were no tissues, no hair dryer, no lotion, no iron, no coffee machine—none of the basic amenities that hotels usually offer. As soon as you enter the hotel, there is a very unpleasant odor throughout the entire building. On the day of our arrival, the elevator wasn’t working, and the staff member at the front desk asked us to carry our suitcases up the stairs ourselves.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The elevator was out of order.

    The property location was great. The room was nice except there was no air conditioning for 3 days. (Italy rule.)Windows open allowed in mosquitos which ate us alive! Street noise was hard to sleep through. Unless they offer a better solution I won’t be back. Staff was so nice though just didn’t understand. No air. Government rule. Terrible situation because of mosquitoes. 80 degrees in room with windows shut. Had to open.

    Very old furniture. The bathroom needs a lot of plumbing works. The room sizes are very limited

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Loved this hotel! The location is perfect, close to everything and with a restaurant next door and a coffee shop the other side. Very friendly and helpful reception staff. We had a beautiful room with a gorgeous bathroom and it was spotlessly clean. Our room was exactly what we hoped for, it was decorated in Venetian style with a chandelier and windows with views over a lovely square - it was just perfect. We didn't have the breakfast as we wanted to have room for lunch but it looked great. They also looked after our luggage for our last day while we went out for the whole day as our flight was late evening. Would definitely return to this hotel. The only thing we would have liked was a tea and coffee in our room, if there was one we didn't find it. There was a fridge though which was useful.

    Personnel was pleasant and helpful

    You need to be very carefull when selecting hotel at venice. This one was pretty good. Heating, hot water, normal bathroom. Breakfast was ok but there is no hot dishes and breakfast room is very very small. Location is very strategic since it is short walk both for rialto and san marco square. When I arrived there were a lot of hairs in the bathroom.

    An absolutely wonderful hotel with the warmest and most welcoming reception ♥️ The rooms are spotlessly clean, the breakfast is delicious, and the location is perfect — close to all the main attractions. We truly loved our stay and would definitely choose this hotel again ♥️

    The location and friendly staff were the most positive aspects of our stay at Hotel Scandinavia. The rooms are very small, the bed was old and lumpy, the floors were inclined(higher on one side and lower on the opposite), we kept stumbling on a folded chair(?!) they had in the room, there were no sockets(i.e: for charging our phones). Also, the shower has no ventilation. So you basically have a 3min timer until you can't breathe anymore. The Booking.com photos are very different/inaccurate from the room we stayed in. This is a very old hotel (old furniture, holes/lumps in the bed, "ghostly" doors, iron key locks, narrow stairs, loud floors).

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    The staffs are very friendly and accommodating

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    I was only there for 1 night. No comment.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    Would have liked a bigger assortment for breakfast.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    There was a lot of mosquitoes in and gnats in the room. We couldn’t even open our balcony doors because we were afraid of letting more in so we kept them closed during our stay but bugs kept getting in somehow. And the room was very small. We couldn’t open up our luggage anywhere besides on the bed.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    The location was decent, and the staff were absolutely great—very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast was amazing and definitely a highlight. The room was quite small, and the beds (and pillows) were uncomfortable (very hard). Unfortunately, the bathroom had a significant leak, which we reported, but it wasn’t addressed during our 3-night stay. The view from the room was also disappointing. Overall, the stay felt a bit overpriced considering the issues we experienced.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    Location was close to everything but away from the crowds Breakfast was a bit disappointing. Expected more based on previous reviews
