My husband and I stayed here for four nights in September and were very pleased with our choice. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Venice. This hotel is small (six rooms), quiet, clean, relatively inexpensive, and best of all, it's in a non-touristy neighborhood. The rooms are not spacious or fancy, but they have character, as does the proprietor. This woman speaks only Italian, but she is friendly and helpful and communication was not a problem. When she explained to us how to use the TV and A/C, even with our very limited Italian language skills, we understood. She kindly allowed us to leave our bags the day we checked out so we could spend our last hours in Venice sightseeing unencumbered.

By the way, there is a room tax that must be paid before you check out. Don't panic and think you are being asked to pay for the room again, as we did! It's about 2 euros per person per day.

The towels were a little rough and the pillows could've been softer, but we were plenty comfortable and slept well here. Earplugs might be in order for those who prefer leaving the windows open to using the A/C, as sounds are amplified by the narrow street, and late-night revelers can be noisy passing by below. We didn't eat breakfast on the premises due to what others here said about it, but found a very nice cafe over the bridge and a couple blocks down, at the intersection of Rio Terra Farsetti and Rio Terra S. Leonardo.

Alloggi Sardegna is a wonderful place to stay to escape the hordes of tourists and see regular Venetians going about their business. I look forward to staying there again.

We stayed in the Aloggi Sardegna early in August and occupied room 5 (with the red bed) on the top floor. The place is relatively easy to find and is a short(ish) walk from Piazza Roma. Situated in the Cannaregio area of Venice the Hotel is close to some incredibly good bars and restaurants all frequented by locals and serving wine from as little as €1.10 and gorgeous Spritz cocktails from €2. There's also an amazing Pizza place across the bridge to left (as you leave the hotel) called Arte Della Pizza, described on many sites as the best pizza in Venice- which we'd go along with.

The room was fine and clean, Maria the landlady (who everyone mentions on here) was lovely and though she speaks little English, is somehow easy to understand and very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom clean and shower good quality.

The only improvements we coud suggest (baring in mind this is an incredibly competitively priced budget en suite hotel in a great area - IN Venice) are regarding the breakfast which includes tea, packaged croissants and toast. This coud easyily be improved on or just skipped, there are plenty of great paces to have breakfast just out the door. Also it would have been nice to have had wifi and a fridge in the room too. Air con was great (while I remember).

In all if you are on a budget you cannot go wrong with the place, we found it a lovely base for our adventures in beautiful Venice (which was amazing). The area was possibly our favourite in the whole of Venice and there was nothing remotely unpleasant about the stay.

As a general tip for newcomers to Venice be sure to get a 72 hour (or longer) waterbus ticket and explore the islands, Burano was particularly lovely.
