Best location! Close to the lagoon for transportation. Near all the sights we wanted to see. Fantastic and helpful staff. The AC worked great and room was quaint and comfortable. Our room overlooked the small plaza of restaurants and shops. Definitely would stay here again. Nothing. A great stay.

Everything was close to everywhere! Piazza San Marco, water taxi, supermarket, restaurants, farmacia and the canal. The staff was so friendly they treated us very well and recommend things that we can do. I will come back there. Everything was ok.

Centrally located and well maintained. Unbeatable for the price and location. It actually rained one evening and we woke up to leaks in the bathroom as they were apparently renovating the roof. We met the owner that every day and everything was cleaned up by the time we returned back to the room with the more leak. Would highly recommend we will be returning. The rooms are a bit on the smaller side but well appointed for the basic needs. No laundry available

The perfect location, great staff and must-stay place in the heart of Venice

The location was close to a lot of attractions. Comfy and quiet. Friendly staff. Very clean. Loved the old world feel of the room. There were a lot of stairs to climb, but that was expected.

The apartment has such charm, the staff are wonderful and the location is terrific. Marco made our short visit to Venice very comfortable, and the breakfast was superb. There are so many good restaurants just around the corner that choosing one for dinner was quite simple. Even in January Venice is magical. Nothing bad to say at all.

We had a late check-in, and everything was organized perfectly. They sent clear instructions in advance and even left a note for us. Overall, it was an excellent experience.

Locanda Al Leon has an excellent location in Venice, very close to the canal arrival point and just a short walking distance away. From here, it’s easy to access all the main tourist attractions on foot. There are many restaurants and souvenir shops around the hotel, which makes the stay very convenient for shopping and dining. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, and they assisted us smoothly with the check-in process. The hotel has a classic Venetian style with antique-finish furniture, which we really liked and felt added a unique charm to the stay. The bathroom was quite small, but it was manageable and acceptable for a short-term stay. Overall, a great choice for travelers who want a well-located, traditional-style hotel surrounded by shops and attractions. bathroom quiet small.

Locanda Al Leon is a wonderful, charming, comfortable place to stay in Venice that we enjoyed very much during our 3-night stay in September. [It is also one of the accommodations recommended by Rick Steves]. While it's very conveniently located close to St. Mark's Square and only a 4-minute walk from the San Marco-San Zaccaria Vaporetto stop, it's also quiet and nicely located just off the delightful plaza Campo Santi Filippo e Giacomo that has some good restaurants, bars and bakeries. [We especially enjoyed Ristorante Pizzeria Pesciolino D'oro just around the corner as well as the bakery Pasticceria Bonifacio.] The staff is wonderful, very friendly and helpful. Our "room" was the entire, very spacious top floor of the nearby Ca Marcella annex and included a good-sized, beautiful bedroom, nice modern bathroom, living room w/ sofa, full kitchen and TWO private balconies, each with a table & chairs (& one had a view St. Mark's Basilica rooftop)! The balconies were a perfect place to enjoy a late-night glass of wine under the stars w/ a peaceful view of the Venetian rooftops. A nice, very adequate continental breakfast was available each morning on the top floor of the main hotel building and was a much-appreciated amenity. For us, Locanda Al Leon was a fantastic find for our stay in Venice and we would definitely stay again! Like most accommodations in Venice, Locanda Al Leon doesn't have an elevator and most rooms are accessible only by a flight or two (or three!!) of stairs. Carrying your luggage up can be a challenge but thankfully the hotel's staff is very kind and helpful in assisting. Provided you able, the stairs were a small price to pay for such wonderful accommodations!
