Locanda Correr

The location is very central and handy for public transport and top attractions.

The satnav / map reference for this hotel takes you to a completely different location. The hotel has a different name to Locanda Correr when you do eventually find it. It is extremely difficult to locate but the owners seem in no way bothered to try and improve this. The decor is extremely tired. The lighting is awful. It’s really difficult to see where you’re going especially on the steep stairs which are barely lit and covered in dark red carpet (walls with swirly dark red pattern). Our TV switched on but didn’t work and when I asked about it the receptionist said someone would come and look at it. No one did though, throughout our whole stay. Our room was cramped full of unnecessary furniture - including a large air conditioning unit. Our shutters were locked shut. The room was freezing cold as a result. We tried to air the room to get some warmth and light in but it was impossible. The room felt damp to us. The bathroom was tiny and the shower was so cheap that when you turned on the water the shower head flew off the wall soaking everything. The only way to shower was to hold the shower head in one hand and turn the water off to lather etc. Not relaxing or warm. The shelf in the shower had broken off so nowhere to place shampoo etc. Whole place dingy and disappointing.

Location- but hotel is down a dingy alleyway.

We never got told you have to check in at Hotel Castello and we passed that hotel several times looking for locanda. We had trouble once settling payment for our stay as they ended up Taking payment for the wrong hotel and tried to charge my credit card again without asking. They then messaged saying I need to pay again for the stay and they would refund me what I had paid plus the pre authorised money they took. I ended up telling them no and in the end after much hassle they accepted that I would not be paying again due to a fault of theirs and they released my money. It’s not my fault we checked out in the middle of the night to catch a flight which they tried to blame on us. Breakfast is portion controlled and not much selection. Overall stay in Venice was excellent. Stay and locanda not so great.
