Hotel ai Mori d'Oriente

This hotel was a little gem. It was very ornate and beautifully appointed. I will say the bathrooms were typically VERY small but well appointed and nice. The location was very quiet in the Jewish Section of Venice. there were lots of great little restaurants and shops close by. The breakfast that was included was good but not extensive. They had a lovely bar.

Our stay at Hotel ai Mori d'Orient was a dream come true and a great value for Venice in the high season. For those who want a peaceful rest in the midst of sometimes too busy Venice, this is the place to book. Readers who want to be in the heart of St. Marks will not like the location (although it is only a twelve minute or so stroll) but for those who want an authentic Venetian neighborhood and a haven from the crush of tourists, this is the perfect place. The elegant hotel is on a quiet, pretty canal with fabulous wine bars and restaurants close by, and within short walking distance to the Rialto Bridge, St. Marks and several Vaparetto stops. We can't wait to return.

Great place,very good service, beautiful hotel and great location,easy access to all touristic areas.We really enjoyed our stay in thiss hotel I recommend this place.

the hotel was really nice and the location was perfect. You get the most out of your visit. Easy to get to most of the sites and the location is quiet for a relaxing break. Hotel staff were really helpful with our enquries.

The location of this hotel is great if you want to be outwith the tourist throng, but still be within easy walking distance of all the 'sites'. It's an ideal hotel on a relatively quiet canal, with 3 tables outside - many places seemed not to have outdoor space- , ideal for sipping delicious bellinis after a evening out. The bar is just inside and served coffee etc. all day ; we loved watching the world go by on the canal. We had a superior room, although requested a change as our first room had internal window. The subsequent nights were in a more airy 1st floor room. The air conditioning worked well when we used it ( great as it gets humid in summer) and the hotel was very clean and well organised. The Cannegerio district is more 'real' Venice - it's great to walk away from the tourists! There's a well-stocked mini supermarket just over the nearest bridge, and plenty of lovely local restaurants in the next street up; we liked Bella Vita for a good atmosphere and delicious take-what-you-get antipasti.

This hotel has everything you need, My partner and I really enjoyed our breif stay in Venice. The hotel staff are friendly and the rooms clean. When I go back to Venice I would like stay in this hotel again. Its a little out of the way from some of the tourist sights, however Venice isn't that big to be a major problem.

The rooms are small but beautifully decorated. The lobby is nice. The breakfast is great. The neighborhood is a real Venetian neighborhood in Cannareggio and is very quiet. The breakfast was excellent. The service was great. Caveat, my wife and I speak fluent Italian. If you want to be right where all the action is, this is not the neighborhood for you, but Venice really is not that big a city.

The best thing about this hotel was it's quiet position, near a few better priced restaurants. At the same time it was easy to access Vaporettos to get around the whole of Venice, and even walk if one is that inclined. The service was polite and efficient. The room was poor by our standards, but this was our first tiem in Venice. Breakfast was very average, even for an Italian hotel.

We stayed here after reading recommendations and I felt I should also add our experience. The location was superb as it was in a "real" area of Venice with fewer tourists and some great eating places and bars. Staff were helpful and the breakfast buffet was simple but met our needs. Location wise, it is only a 15-20 minute walk from the Rialto bridge and 5 minutes from a Vaporetto step. There were a few great bars nearby which served lovely wines and food and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing how the locas lived; something you would not get staying near the "top 10" tourist attractions. The hotel was clean, staff were friendly, the location was ideal (for us) and therefore I think it is worth considering if: you enjoy walking, you like experiencing more than the usual tourist traps and are happy to use a hotel as a base rather than somewhere to lie around all day.

We were very happy with our choice of hotel which was quiet, off the beaten track, unassuming; the public rooms were beautiful with Moorish influenced design and furniture, our room was comfortable and clean, breakfast was delicious and the service was great! We would recommend this hotel to others.

Clean and comfortable room Polite and friendly service Good location (not central which was ideal) Good local restaurants/bars

Nice pleasant hotel, helpfull staff. Good Restaurants & coffee shops nearby. 20 mins walk to Rialto, 30 to St Marks.

Hotel is situated only 2 stops from the main railway station at a very convenient location outside the main touristic locations. Very well maintained, small but cozy rooms - just what you will expect from Venice. Will stay again.

Hotel really well located, near the city but in a quiet area. Near really nice and affordable pubs and restaurants. Well deserved by vaporetto (only a short walk). The room was really clean. The decoration is good. Staff was really nice and fluent in English. However, the person at the reception the day we left was a bit cold with us. I would definitely go back.

The hotel is in a very safe part of Venice and away from the hustle and bustle of the comercial turist locations. However it is very easy to access the water taxis or the public boats and in no more than 20 minutes you can reach St. Marks Square. If you prefer a nice walk then you are looking at about 25-30 minutes. The hotel management was the best we had all week during our travels in that they were all fluent in English as well as multiple languages and very knowledgable about local restaurants, tours etc. They booked a private water taxi for 5 Euros each person to take us to the Island of Mirrano which included a the tour of the largest Mirrano Glass Company. It was truly a great experience and my kids loved it. The hotel is very kid friendly and the breakfast which is included is fantastic. Over all this was the best hotel we had during our 8 days in Italy.

We stayed four nights when we were in Venice and overall the hotel is great. The location can be good or bad, depending on what you are looking for. The hotel is located close to the Jewish Ghetto and is essentially on the opposite end from San Marco. So, if you are looking to stay near high priced and poor food but near everyone else, don't stay here. If you are looking for a quiet location and a more authentic atmosphere, I highly recommend this hotel. There are several cantinas nearby, a grocery store w/in a one minute walk and several wine bars. Additionally, it is only a five minute walk to either of the vaporettos, so its proximity to the major attractions is not an issue. My only complaint is that the beds are very firm.

This was a great choice and represented great value for money.It is very close to the public water taxi stop approximately a 5 minute walk. We arrived late at night and the place was deserted so if you are travelling alone you may consider a daytime arrival. Take the orange line on the Alilguna water taxi from the airport to M.Dell'Orto stop although the hotel website recommend a different route this is definitely more direct and does not require a change over. It is very acessible to Rialto Bridge and Rialto Market and takes you to a quieter area of Venice that is free from the tourist tat. Food is much cheaper as is the alcohol and the choice is varied depending on your budget. We also stayed at the more expensive Londra Palace and apart from the Canal View this hotel was just as nice at one third the price for a 2 night stay.

very good value for money, no complaints whatsoever. situated in a lovely quiet area in north venice.

The hotel itself was good, but even in March, our room got SO hot that it was hard to sleep. It was ventilated by only a small window that was really high up and the room got really stuffy and uncomfortable and there was no fan available.

This hotel was wonderful! The staff was VERY friendly and always willing to help out with anything. The hotel is about a 20 minute walk to San Marco(the center of venice) and about 10-15 mins to the train station. Be ware of how you plan to get to the hotel. A water Taxi is 95 euros and the public transportation takes over an hour to get to the hotel and just under 20 euros per person. Best to arrive earlier in the day as we just made the last waterbus of the day by about 6 minutes(last one leaves at 11:04pm). Other than that, the hotel is wonderful! Because its farther away from the city center you can get more of a feel for the real Venice! Breakfast includes cold meats and cheeses, pastries, cereal, and yogurts. Hot items are at an additional cost, but are available. Nice room and bathroom, small shower, and NO view from our room, so you have to go out to see the Venice!

This is a lovely hotel on a quiet canal, about 5 minutes walk to a major street and 10-15 mins walk to the tourist areas. Very friendly service with good English and 24 hour reception was great. We were pleasantly surprised to find that the pictures of the room DO look like the room we were given! Though it was a bit disappointing be in the wheelchair accessible (room 3), as whilst it meant there was lots of space in the room, the shower was not contained and much of the bathroom floor repeated ended up flooded. However I'm pleased to see them catering for wheelchair users, even though the rest of Venice is definitely not wheelchair friendly. Overall, great place, would definitely stay there again.

The room we were put up in was a little disappointing at first - felt rather cramped but guess one gets what one can afford. Next morning with the sun coming through the skylight things looked a lot brighter. However, the big bummer was that the for the next 2 days they pulled a shutter over the skylight - even after we requested the front desk to open it. Breakfast was ok and the staff was courteous and helpful. The hotel is a little away from the main attractions which was a boon during the Carnival - provided a good escape from the packed streets in busier parts of the island. Reaching the hotel is convenient via the vaporetta. Overall comfortable stay.

The hotel was wonderful and situated in the perfect place. Far enough from the busy centre to be nice and peaceful but close enough to walk to Rialto Bridge, St Mark Sq etc. The staff were particularily helpful especially when directing us as it is a difficult city to get around. The room was extremely nice and spacious and breakfast was great.

The hotel is in a great area, about 15/20 minutes walk away from St Mark's Square and 5 minutes walk away from local shops. The hotel is very charming with lovely decor-very turkish in style. Large beds and great bathrooms. The breakfast included was simple with a choice of pastries, cheese, meats, and jams, but was well suited for its purpose.

Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Room very clean, comfortable and warm. Very central. Would highly recommend.

Charming hotel, with beautifully appointed rooms. Quiet attractive location but near the main shopping streets and convenient for water transport.

If you are like me that wants to stay close enough to the centre of activity but far enough to escape the crowds, this is the place. Beautifully situated on a canal, this hotel offers many good photo opportunities.

Beautiful property in a quiet area of Venice very close to a waterbus stop. Clean, updated, great bar. Staff was friendly and helpful if not overly warm.

This was a real surprise for the price. The room appeared to be very recently refurbished, was very clean and had an excellent bathroom. The breakfast buffet which was included in the price was all we needed and the coffee was great.The hotel was easy to find and only a 20 min stroll to San Marco Sq. There were plenty of bars and restaurants nearby and at better prices than on the main tourist drags.

Beautiful, great locatoin, but mployees not friendly, and our room was next to stairways, so it was noisy. However, it is gorgeous, clean, well located, so worth the $$$

Quiet and peaceful! Easy to access all of the sites in Venice! The staff was helpful and the accommodations were comfortable and clean. It was enjoyable to have a glass of wine in the lounge of the hotel. Take time to relax in the intimate surroundings after a long day of walking. The knowledgeable staff will answer any questions to help you choose the proper wine to fit your taste.

This hotel located in Carneggio area provided the perfect location to visit Venice. We arrived into Airport St Marco Polo and got the Alliguna water service which dropped us as stop Madonna d'Orto. From here the hotel is less than 5 minutes walk. Perfect. Nice quiet area but with restaurants very handy. Again Vaporetta stop on Grande Canal only 5 minutes walk away. Hotel of excellent standard. Staff very pleasant and helpful.We booked a Superior room and this was our only doubt as to the difference between a double and superior?. Otherwise highly recommend this hotel.

We loved this hotel. It was away from the crowds of St. Mark's Square. Just what we wanted. This was our second trip to Venice and we wanted to see something more authentic. There were great restaurants nearby at great prices, but only a quick walk to a vaporetta stop. If this is what you're looking for, and know a little about Venice, this hotel is great. Otherwise, look for something closer in.

Impressive service in an elagant hotel in a quiet area of Venice.

This guest did not leave a comment.

We stayed here for the last 3 days of our honeymoon and cannot speak highly enough of it. We were put in a small attic room to begin with however on asking they moved us swiftly to a much better room. The staff were helpful and informative and the breakfast was the best we experienced in italy. The best thing is the location though, after doing the tourist thing with hordes of others it is like coming back to a well kept secret with several excellent restuarants and bars nearby.

We stayed here one night, and left on a cruise the next day. The room was beautiful and had a view of the canal. It was away from all the noise of St. Mark's square, but a still a not so short walk. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included. We will definitely stay there again.

A quiet, low-key and charming hotel in a real neighborhood that's far from the tourist tumult.

I got a 3 night for 4 deal - other wise I could not have afforded this hotel. Impecable service and cleanliness was unsurpassed. Very very comforable rooms with everything you could ask for including next day weather report. However, we were allocated a very poor room in terms of size and access - ( attic type room) - as far as we could see there were 3 of these , and very small with attic wimdows that were next to useless. I was very annoyed about this room but did not want to complain and upset my guest. We were also concerned about fire access from this part of the hotel, and taked to management on the 3rd day - we were moved to a lovely room - should have been there all along in my opinion. This hotel is somehat out of the way - we loved that but we did not get our bearings until our last day , it's really worthwhile to do your home work on this before you go. In reality the best vaporatta stop is Merculoa on the grand Canal with a shortish walk across a few canales to the hotel . It's hard enough to find your way from St Marks etc if you dont know your way around and so getting on a vaporatta is best . You can buy tickets on board late at night which we didn't know - and this could have saved our legs and feet. Great breakfast - plenty of choice. All in all I would go back for the right price, and ask for a decent room.

We used public transport (water bus) from the airport, twelve euros each and found the hotel very easily. We had room two hundred and one and found it to be very comfortable, clean sheets daily, and turn down service in the evening. Lovely breakfast up to ten thirty so no early starts on our very relaxing three night stay. This hotel is in a great location, quite residential area and yet just a short walk from the tourist trail. There is a supermarket very close by and a food market daily just a two minute walk away, try the little pizza place on the corner of the market for a cheap, filling and delicious lunch. We bought a three day water bus (vaporetto) pass for thirty one euros each which was good value as we hopped on and off as we liked. Our only fault with the hotel was that on the first night we were a little cold and found the central heating switched off, we were told it was against the law to have it on in Venice after a certain date!

Everything was top notch except the air con appeared to be giving out hot air. Not too much of a problem in March as one could open the window but could be a problem in Summer. The view from the room was a little limited but due to nature of design of Venetian buildings being so close together, not totally unexpected. Breakfast ample and good choice. I would highly recommend this hotel, it's position is in a quiet area but only 20 minutes on foot to the Rialto bridge and 25 minutes to San Marco and that's with reading a map at the same time!.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The room was comfortable and quiet. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was away from the crowds and noise, but within walking distance of everything in the city.

I booked an eight night stay at this hotel and checked out after the third night because of unbearable noise. The walls are either paper thin or hollow because my wife and I could hear even normal conversations from the people in the next room, let alone any loud talking or laughing. We could literally hear snoring from the next room. On the third night when a large group checked in and had several of the adjoining rooms and they decided to go between the rooms until 2 in the morning slamming doors and talking loudly we finally decided to go to another hotel. If you're looking for peace and quite this isn't the place. How this is considered a four star hotel is beyond me.

My husband and i stayed here for four nights and we really enjoyed our stay, after having some initial trouble finding it, we found it to be in an ideal location for exploring venice on foot or getting the water buses with the nearest stop not far away. Hotel lovely and comfortable and clean, with lovely breakfast and plenty of choice. the hotel staff were very helpful in guiding us to all the main points of interest. Only downside was that you could not sit outside the hotel bar after a cetain time, and there was not many other local bars near hotel to sit and enjoy a drink late into the night if you wanted to.

A wonderful location away from the city center but not to far of a walk. Great breakfast, clean rooms, wonderful bathroom. Excellent service ... I would recommend this hotel for anyone going to Venice who wants to be away from the hussle and noise. Access to the main attractions are no more than a nice 20 minute walk in a very safe area. 4.5 out of 5 stars. We had a small room due to a last minute reservation make sure you ask for a big

It was the most expensive room we stayed in during a one month trip to five countries in Europe. However, it met all of our expectations and enhanced our visit to Venice. The hotel and room were well appointed and had a luxurious feel. Access by vaporetto was relatively easy. Recommended for a mature couple.

My husband and I took a 3 day trip to Venice, and we knew we wanted to see all the sites, but we weren't interested in being in the middle of the crowds... Hotel Mori d'Oriente was perfect. We took the water bus ride from the airport and found the hotel was only a few hundred feet from the water bus stop. Situated in a quiet, picturesque section of Venice, we were amazed at how quiet it was (and how few people we saw on the streets). The staff was very accomodating and provided great recommendations for dinner and were nice enough to give us detailed directions. A continental breakfast is included in your room rate - and its really quite good! We were surprised by how many options there were - and be sure to get a cappuccino - it might not be the best one in Venice, but its darn good. If we ever get to go back to Venice (and we really hope too!), we will most definitely stay at this hotel again. Its only a short walk to the major sites - and its location allows you to see a different, less hectic side of Venice...

Das Hotel liegt in dem schönen, ruhigen Stadtteil Cannareggio abseits von den großen Touristenströmen. Zu Fuß zum Markusplatz sind es ca. 35 Minuten. Mit dem Vaporetto hat man von 2 Haltestellen aus (verschiedene Linien) die Möglichkeit, ins Zentrum zu gelangen. Unweit des Hotels sind verschiedene kleinere Osterien, Bars etc., bei manchen kann man auch draußen sitzen. In nächster Nachbarschaft am Campo dei Mori befindet sich die Osteria L'orto dei Mori, ein sehr empfehlenswertes Restaurant (unbedingt vorher reservieren!). Am Hotel selbst gibt es nichts zu auszusetzen. Der Empfang ist freundlich und hilfsbereit, wie auch das gesamte andere Personal. Das Frühstück ist reichhaltig (leckerer Obstsalat!!), die Zimmer incl. Badezimmer absolut in Ordnung. Keine durchgelegenen Matratzen, keine tropfenden Wasserhähne wie wir es bei früheren Venedigaufenthalten in anderen Hotels erlebt hatten. Wir waren im 3. Stock untergebracht. Dass die Wand zum Nachbarhaus recht nahe ist, wenn man aus dem Fenster sieht, läßt sich in einer Stadt wie Venedig wohl kaum vermeiden. Fazit: Gute Lage, gutes Zimmer, gutes Frühstück. Also alles, was ein Stadthotel haben sollte. Deshalb werden wir gerne wiederkommen.

Bell'hotel di stile arabeggiante, fuori dalla normale rotta turistica, ma comodo e facile da raggiungere. personale gentile e molto disponibile

Bra hotel med bra service och vänlig personal. Vårt rum var rent och stort nog. Det ligger i ett lungt område. men det tar bara 5 min att ta sig ner till stora kanalen. Det enda negativa var att vårt rum bara hade ett takfösnter och en väldigt liten TV med några få engelska kanaler.
