Palazzo Odoni Venice

A small hotel in a 15th-century palace in Santa Croce, on a canal about 10 to 15 minutes from the train station, with breakfast and no elevator.

Why people love it

• Breakfast. Guests call it delightful and luxurious, with croissants and the option to order a hot dish such as an omelet.
• The staff. Justin at the front desk helped guests up the first stairs, and others say staff carried their luggage up.
• Quiet rooms. Reviewers describe comfortable, clean rooms with good air conditioning and fast Wi-Fi, and a hotel that is very quiet with a view over rooftops.
• Location. It is in Santa Croce away from heavy tourist areas, near the train station and bus stops.

The worst thing guests say

Stairs and finding the entrance. In 2026, four guests say the building has steep stairs and no elevator and is tricky to find, though they still liked the stay. Complaints about air conditioning not working, dirty rooms and unhelpful staff date from 2016 to 2022 and do not appear in 2026 reviews. One 2024 guest reported a bad smell in the room.

Insider tips

• There is no elevator and the stairs are steep, so pack light.
• The entrance is hard to find, so check directions from the station.
• The bar options in the evening are limited.
