I searched all over Venice to find the right hotel for my teenager and me, with the tight budget that I had, and took a chance with Cavalletto & Doge Orselo after reading reviews for this and many other choices. I'm so glad I chose this hotel. Its incredible proximity to St Mark's Square and all that comes with it, including tour meeting points just a minute or two's stroll away, made our every day so easy and vibrant with the energy of people moving around the clock. If you love that kind of environment this hotel is for you. Our room overlooked the Gondola Bacino Orseolo where the gondoliers boarded tourists day in and day out. We had air conditioning in our room, and 3 windows overlooking the waters below. The bathroom was roomy and clean. Water pressure and temperature varied but totally fine overall. The mattress and sheets were our least favorite (you can feel the mattress springs, bedframe lacking enough support for edge of mattress, hard and scratchy sheet fabric) but everything else about the room made up for that. The A/C condenser started dripping water through the ceiling into the entry area of our room but I called for maintenance and they came right away and fixed it. Strongly recommend staying here - location, location, location!!
