Ca' Sagredo Hotel

I was really nervous about what to expect at this hotel. All my communications prior to arrival were uninspiring. I could never get a reservation person on the phone, as I had to make changes to the on line reservation and it said I needed to call to do so. I kept calling and they would tell me to call back. After several emails, the issue was fixed. We were also trying to arrange a water taxi for arrival with them and that required many emails back and forth with them clearly not reading what I sent. However, once we got there, I was impressed with the staff. The location of the hotel is perfect. They have their own dock which was a must for me. You can take private water taxis right from there. The location is perfect. Just a couple of minutes from the popular, super crowded areas. It’s nice to walk out of the hotel onto a quiet street before you are met with the hoards of people wandering around the city. We had a junior suite and it was very spacious. The AC was lackluster at best. They have to come unlock it for you and then it does not even go below 18degrees C. It also kept shutting off and not going back on until we reset it. It was hot and uncomfortable during the night. The only critique I have is that the hotel is very old, and not in a grand, historical way but in a shabby way. The rugs are all frayed and they are bunched up in the middle- in the rooms, the halls etc. I’m shocked no one has gotten injured on these. The furnishings are worn as are the draperies etc. fresh paint, carpet and furnishings would make this hotel five stars in my eyes.

The Ca Sagredo is set right on the e Grand Canal and is easy walking distance to everything , St Marks , Rialto , all a few mins walk away . Our room had a canal view , a large king bed and was very spacious . A great shower , and all modern creature comforts . We arrived direct by private water taxi direct to the front door from St Lucia train station , which was very easy and did the same on the return leg .. We must mention Raffaele who was the most courteous and helpful of managers .. he recommended a fabulous restaurant for us in Murano , he arranged complimentary water taxis , the entire trip was made perfect by his assistance and advice .. In the bar we were looked after by Walter and Remo , a fantastic 5* service each evening from them , they were truly professional but each always had a happy smile , we were made to feel most welcome in a very unpretentious yet respectful manner . When we left and got to the station , we realised we’d left our passports in the room safe , again Raffaele came to the rescue and sent a water taxi driver to bring us our valuables to the station dock so we didn’t miss the train connection .. This is the only place you want to stay in Venice .. we couldn’t recommend any higher

The location is very nice on the Grand Hotel. What made it special was the staff. They were all so friendly and helpful. Lucca, in particular, went out of his way to help us plan a memorial gathering. I cannot say enough about the people or the lovely hotel. Great breakfast too!

Ca' Sagredo is as much a world-class museum as it is a well-sited, comfortable hotel. Located right on the Grand Canal within easy walking and water distance from just about anything in Venice, it is a magnificent, first-class hotel with equally impressive dining and hospitality. We were only able to stay one night but had we more time would have been delighted to extend our stay. Just know that while you're enjoying this magnificent hotel you're a part of history. Well worth the stay!

Historic, beautiful hotel. Way beyond expectations. Service was impeccable. Easily accessible by Water Ferry #1. About a one mile walk to St Mark's square. In a neighborhood loaded with restaurants but not as congested as the Rialto Bridge area. I loved our quirky, upstairs room #409. I would definitely stay here again.
