B&B Le Marie

Great location - close enough to the hustle and bustle of the city but just far away enough not to be bombarded by the crowds. The room was quite large and the beds were comfortable. Having a mini fridge and the beautiful windows looking out onto the canal was a great addition. Our room was on the top floor which was fine for a young couple such as ourselves but I definitely wouldn’t want to be lugging large suitcases up the stairs. The service was impeccable; we appreciated being able to leave our luggage with the B&B for quite a few hours on the day of checkout.

Really amazing

We loved the location of B & B Le Marie! It's a quick walk to St Mark's Square or the Rialto Bridge yet it's away from the crowds. We caught a gondola ride outside the door and enjoyed watching them go by from our room. We had dinner in a restaurant on the adjacent square which was delicious and reasonably priced. The only downside is the hike up the three flights of stairs to get to the rooms. The stairs are steep and with heavy luggage it can be a challenge. We were expecting this though and managed just fine. The employees were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was simple but tasty. We left feeling that we had experienced Venice to the fullest!

Great location right on a canal. Our room didn’t have any view but the more expensive rooms might. Lots of steep stairs to get your luggage up but the front desk guy helped us which was nice service. Very clean. The bathroom was also very nice. The two main downfalls were first the bed. Most hotel beds aren’t very comfortable but this bed was by far the worst I’ve ever had. In fact, I’m pretty sure we were just sleeping on the box springs with no mattress at all as we could feel every spring. Maybe other rooms have a better mattress but our room was terrible. Also, I’ve never stayed in a hotel that was called a Bed and Breakfast that didn’t serve breakfast to every guest. But upon going into the dining room we were informed we didn’t have the breakfast included. I didn’t even realize it was a separate cost. The breakfast wasn’t like any other bed and breakfasts I’ve stayed at, more like a continental breakfast with a croissant and maybe a few other small things but I feel like giving every guest access to this breakfast is way more beneficial than having customers unexpectedly disappointed. That’s just my opinion. Or at least take the “B&B” part out of the name of the hotel. I probably wouldn’t have been as disappointed with the overall experience if these rooms were cheap but this hotel was way more expensive than any other hotel we have stayed in across europe so I think I expected a lot more. Also, no mini fridge if that’s important to you.
