This is a great little place right off of the main St. Mark's square, tucked away off the main tourist streets. We only had the chance to stay 1 night, but had a lovely experience. The staff was very friendly, and it was a nice size room, decorated in classic Venetian style. They bring you complimentary breakfast to your room,... more

My husband and I have just returned from a five-night stay at the Locanda Al Leon in Venice, Italy and wanted to share our wonderful experience. Firstly, all communications by e-mail and phone were pleasant and efficient. Questions were answered promptly and clearly. Marcella and Giulano warmly welcomed us to their very modern, clean and inviting establishment. The staff are... more

Thanks to the photos posted on this website, we were able to locate the hotel easily. It was a very short walk from the vaporetto stop. Checking in took longer than expected as the desk person was quite slow (our son dubbed him "Prince Valium"). The hotel also requires payment in full up front...so if you are planning on paying... more

I was planning to keep it as a secrete, but all right, i'll tell you about it..It is a fantastic place to stay in Venice, just minutes away from everything, so close to Piazza San Marco, but also so quiet. The "locanda" looks great, very stylish, very modern, yet with so much ancient charm. Everything is spotless, breakfast is very... more

It is located about 2-5 minutes walk from St. Mark's Square, very close to restaurants, a 24 hour little pasticceria (small shop with biscuits and water etc) and various shops. But sadly there are several negative things that makes this hotel just average. When we arrived, the young man at... more

We went to Venice for the carnival and stayed for a few days at the Locanda al Leon in St. Marco. The location is great, close to all the major sights and the vaporetto stops and despite being so central it's surprisingly quiet. HOWEVER...the building is old and when the people in the room next to yours move around the... more

Stayed in this hotel for 2 days May 2007 and it was one of the better mid-grade hotels of our whole 2 week stay in Italy! Best part was the location. Easy to get to by traghetto from the train station and just behind San Marco's, but enough off the beaten track that it's nice and quiet. We had a... more

On a recommendation from friend we booked a three-day stay at Al Leon November 18-21, 2007. The property is located on a small street two blocks from Doces Palace and St. Marks Square and is easy to find based on the directions from the hotel's web site. The husband and wife team, Marcella & Giuliano, which own and operate the... more
