To get the best veiw of the basin and gondolas which is packed with tourists during the day just sit at you breakfast table where it all starts about 10am. Area very quiet at... more

The Hotel Cavalletto E Doge Orseolo in Venice is great value. It has very nice rooms, good services and a great location for seeing Vencie. The hotel is branded through the Best Western chain, which allows reservations to be made through the chain’s web site. There are several Best Western hotels in the immediate vicinity, so you have to be... more

When we first arrived and I saw the words Best Western I was dissappointed - but I couldn't have been more wrong. Our room was gorgeous - overlooking the Gondala park. The decor was beautiful and the windows had lovely shutters and the windows opened fully with a window box full of flowers. The bathroom was huge! The breakfast was... more

On the recommendation of our travel again, we booked for our 1 night in Venice at what she called the Albergo Cavalletto & Doge Orseolo Hotel. We thought this would be a cute & charming pension type hotel, particularly since the rates were so much less than many of the other hotels we were checking out. Much to our surprise,... more

We stayed at the Cavaletto the week following the Italian Grand Prix in mid September 2006. Our rooms were originally booked at one of the other 2 Best Westerns near St. Mark's but it was full so they moved us. Boy was I glad they did, as the Cavaletto seems to be the best of the 3 by a wide... more

We stayed 2 nights as a family group of 4 in 2 rooms. The rooms were in the new building across the passageway from reception and were a good size, with generously-sized bathrooms. We had de-luxe rooms which were well-furnished in typical traditional style, with good air-conditioning. Our double had a large bed and a sofa. Views only of rooftops... more

I would say that most people would give the Hotel Cavalletto an Average rating. There are a few things that made us want to give it an ABOVE AVERAGE rating. The location is absolutely amazing. We stayed in #1104 from September 27th through the 30th. We had a small balcony overlooking a small side canal between the hotel and St.... more

This hotel is excellent we were lucky enough to have our room upgrade to one with a balcony overlooking the Gondola pick up point. At what is near the front. The hotel position is superb and right next to the main St Marks square. The staff are superb very helpful and friendly, the rooms and beds are superb clean comfortable... more

We like to stay in Best Westerns when we travel in Europe because the quality is much higher than here in the states and The Cavaletto was about 3.5 stars. The hotel is very charming, as most are in Venice, but it's a bit of a maze and can be a little confusing to get around. And despite having an... more
