This is a great place. The staff are wonderful. Marco helped with transfers, restaurants and recommendations. A water taxi takes you to the hotel’s private jetty on a quiet small canal. Lose to all the main attractions. Marco was so very attentive and is a great host. Francesca and Asim were very kind to us as a family with suggestions for day trips and a welcoming coffee when needed! The breakfast staff & housekeepers are very pleasant and helpful. The hotel is old, which is typical, but clean and comfortable. Venice is an ancient city! Highly recommended!

This hotel was in a perfect location! It was on a canal off the Grand Canal so it was a little quieter which was nice for us. It was in the San Marco area and 5-10 minute walk to all the main attractions so that was perfect. I personally like staying in places where their decor represents the town/city/area and their Venetian decor of an old palace was perfect for me. Breakfast was amazing! I will definitely be staying here on next trip.

Hotel Becher helped set up private water taxi from and back to train station on arrival and departure. Our room was not ready the way I had requested (2 single beds) but the desk manager provided a complimentary glass of Prosecco while we waited for it to be prepared and then upgraded our room for us for the remainder of the stay. The breakfast room was cozy and had a tasty assortment of breakfast foods to help us start our day of exploring. The staff were all friendly and ready to help us with our plans for the day. We met a couple who have been there 3 times now and I can see why. While the hotel is in need of a facelift (I’m not sure of the exact age of the building), our room was clean and the beds were comfortable! (My understanding is that they will be doing renovations over the winter in preparation for next year.) The location was perfect for St. Mark’s Square and the Doge’s Palace as well as other sights. I would definitely consider staying at Hotel Becher again. I’ve given a rating of 9/10 or 4.5/5 only because it is an older establishment and in need of a little TLC.

We stayed at Hotell Blecher for a family weekend visit in Venice. The hotel is right in the middle of Venice so very well placed for visiting all major attractions by foot. In addition the hotell staff is very friendly and helpful which goes for all. To mention is Marco who helped us when we arrived late in the evening and Elena who booked our boat rides to and from the hotel. They use WhatsApp which makes the journey very easy and pleasant during the whole stay and actually even before we arrived. For us were the boat rides between the airport and the hotel perfect choice because you get a great view of Venice at the same time.

We loved the location, close to most of the main attractions of Venice; we loved the style, classic and in-keeping with the location; we loved that the staff were more than happy to share recommendations and spoke English very well; we loved the breakfast, we loved the little jetty onto the canal where you could have a morning coffee or a late night G&T. Marco, who was on reception every night of our 3 night stay, was especially helpful and really chatty.

The shower screen leaked a bit, but we figured that out pretty soon and just adjusted the shower head so it wasn’t so bad.

It was a first class experience. The water taxi and gondolas pick you up from a dock right off the lobby. The staff from the moment I first spoke to them was anxious to help and were accurate answering every question I had posed to them. They gave me detailed travel information for me to travel by train from the cruise port over 2 hours away. When we were walking with our baggage through the streets of Venice we thought possibly we were lost, calling the hotel, they told me to photograph where we were. Immediately they sent Marco from the front desk. He carried our bags and led us to our hotel. He checked us in and walked us to a fantastic restaurant and booked a gondola ride with musicians that picked us up right from the lobby. It was fantastic. We left the next morning for the Marco Polo airport. Marco suggested a water taxi to the airport. He arranged it and they were there at 6:45 as promised. It was like a luxury limo on the water. He cruised us to the airports own dock, where an attendant took our bags and us to the airline check in. This Marco was the highlight of our trip. Always with a smile and an efficient air about him. This hotel was a Venetian palace, it is beyond words. The breakfast before our departure was the best breakfast of our 16 day vacation. I look forward to recommending friends to Hotel BECHER.

Nothing, it was perfect.

Everything was perfect. The staff were fantastic - special thanks to Elena, who helped us with recommendations and all our needs. We can’t say enough good things about our 7-night stay. The room was big enough for 2 adults and 2 teens. Spotlessly clean. Our room had 2 windows opening onto a canal with gondolas passing. Breakfast and coffee on the jetty was wonderful. My husband and I were in Venice for our honeymoon in 2006, and it was wonderful to bring the children now. This superb hotel made our holiday perfect! Only a few minutes walk to St Mark’s Square. Everything we needed was at hand. Elena booked us tickets for a wonderful Vivaldi concert. Every member of staff was lovely. We highly recommend this exceptional hotel.

We loved everything.

Incredible location, 5 minutes away from the St. Mark's Square. Very safe neighborhood and the hotel has a dock for taxi which in itself is enough for us to book it due to the convenience, although water bus stop is 5 minutes away so that is a great option too. Rooms are small, cozy and soundproof and if you get a room with a view of the water you will watch the gondoliers pass by all the time which is amazing! Staff is very nice, polite and helpful and the breakfast is small, but just what we needed before heading out to explore the Venice. We are looking forward to booking this hotel again in the future.

The location is exceptional and it wasn't too expensive for a room of that size in San Marco. It's small for sure but the bathroom was well equipped, it had a full size bed, and I didn't need a huge amount of space anyway. It's also a very short walk from the San Marco pier, so for €18 you can take a ferry from the airport and end up quite close to the hotel.

This isnt the hotel's fault in any way, but obviously with August weather in Venice being exceptionally hot these days, the AC unit in the room didn't seem up to the task. It cooled the room down and I slept fine, but for people with sensitivity to heat, it may be a concern.

Beautifully authentic accommodation in the heart of Venice. Loved the private jetty providing the option of a water taxi straight to the door and also a great spot to relax on with a glass of wine watching the Gondolas go by. Our room on level 3 was quiet and comfortable with most of the essentials including a coffee machine and kettle available on request. Staff friendly and helpful with information and booking transport.

Bathroom was on the small side with minimal shelf space and an awkward shower over bath setup. The room’s air conditioner stopped working towards the end of our stay. We were ok with a fan as the weather was luckily not too hot and staff were very apologetic.
