We stayed there summer 2009 and it's great, as long as you know what to expect. We stayed in the actual Residenza Favaro, which is down a little tiny alley and there is no reception or facilities at the building - just rooms. That's fine - if you know that. The room was tired and we were a little worried... More

Had booked in to Residenza Favaro for 3 nights. When we arrived, there was a note on the door to ring regarding the booking, which we did, and a gentleman arrived very quickly to inform us that there was no accommodation at Favaro but had organised another apartment for us. The apartment was just over the bridge from Hotel Ala,... More

THis hotel looked wonderful but unfortunatly they moved us to a different hotel down the way which, unfortunatly was tiny and not very nice. my advice.... dont book here because they will screw you. we still had to pay the same price for a crappy room. More

I booked this place a couple of months in advance . They emailed to find out my arrival time which I gave as 2pm. The check in is supposed to be open until 6 yet when I arrived at 3pm (we got a little lost!) ther was nobody there and the door was locked. I called the number listed and... More

We had a positive experience at Residenza Favaro; our room was very clean and very spacious (we actually had a two floor loft). It was in a great location, just steps from St Mark's square and within walking distance to everything we wanted to see or do in Venice. Like many things in Venice, it is not especially easy to...

We booked in to Residenza Favaro a little while ago, and were asked to check in at the nearby Hotel Ala on arrival. When we were collected to be taken to our room and what a fantastic surprise! We entered into a doorway just metres from the Grand Canal (Giglio stop). I don't know how long the hotel will be... More

Thanks to a previous couple who posted exact details of how to get from Marco Polo airport to our Vaporetto water stop. 13 euros. Took a lot of worry and anxiety away when your in a foreign country. As we were arriving quite late in the evening. Also thanks to the hotel for e-mailing exact details how to get to... More

An absolute gem, easy to find if you can read a map and follow it, quiet but right in the middle of where you want to be. Rooms are spotless, shower and bathroom too and for Venice quite large. We had a keycard for the front door and the room. These are more like serviced apartments and ideal for a... More

The is not so much a hotel, but a hotel-like room without any other hotel services. You're paying for a good quality room and bathroom. Located minutes away from St Marks Square. Make sure you do your research on finding the hotel - it's tricky. Otherwise the room was in good condition, great bathroom, TV, Air Con, fridge. It's quiet... More
