My wife and I stayed as a couple for 3 nights at Rosa Salva in the Superior Double Room with City View. The location is very good for someone visiting Venice for the first time. The staff at the front desk is very efficient and friendly. Should you have any queries about events or similar in Venice during your stay, do reach out to them, they are very helpful. The hotel has a small elevator that goes all the way up to 3rd floor. The rooms are air-conditioned. The room is nice sized and well lit and airy. Since the hotel is surrounded by other buildings of similar height, choosing a higher floor might be better for someone who likes their room brighter and more airy. The lighting inside the room is very well done as well, so it's nice and bright at night too. All-in-all our room was well designed and put together, and the bed is comfortable. Housekeeping was excellent, and the room is spotlessly clean. A couple of beverages in the refrigerator, some refreshments, and crackers and jam are complimentary and replenished daily. The Hotel has a very popular bakery next to it. It seems to be on the tourist map so it's almost always quite full. Guests of the hotel get a 10% discount. The bakery opens at about 8ish in the morning so in case anyone has any excursions planned for 9-10am, they could pick something up and head out. This is a very popular bakery and while I didn't eat much here, I could see many others enjoying the goodies. There is a pizza and pasta place around the corner (it opens in the afternoon I think). The pizza and pasta I ate there were both excellent, and they also offer soft alcohol and beer etc. If you can afford the prices and are in Venice for the first time, or are a repeat visitor to Venice and want to stay near St Mark's Square and about, I would recommend Rosa Salva.

Venice is expensive and so is this hotel. One is paying for the location and the city. I would have liked a bit more variety at the bakery. Not into eating too much bread to start the day, and guess what's most amply available at a bakery :-D

Clean, spacious, well located. The room was lovely.

The only complaint is that the staff in the adjacent bakery which is where breakfast is taken was extremely rude and generally unpleasant. They can be avoided by opting out of breakfast service and just patronizing any number of other spots close by. I understand that serving tourists is taxing for the local population but open hostility toward those who provide one’s livelihood just can’t be rewarded with captive business. The hotel would be wise to decouple from the bakery and partner elsewhere.

This hotel was a little gem in Venice! It was in a great location half way between St. Marks Square and the Rialto bridge. Lots of restaurants were close by and the bakery that is attached to the hotel was terrific! I would book this hotel again in a heartbeat!

Our room had 2 stairs up to the bathroom which was difficult for us to negotiate, especially in the middle of the night, due to bad knees. The hotel should have had a notation on this room before you book it.

Convenient location and love the cozy design!! Both hotel room and apartment suite are very well equipped. Enrico and the staff were incredibly helpful and communicative, making the arrangements for our airport transfer (water taxi + private van) seamlessly - we are a group of 8, truly appreciate their assistance!

Not a downside but just a side note for future family travellers: We booked an apartment suite and two double rooms for our group of eight. However the suite was located in a separate building about 20m from the hotel (just around the corner so not a big deal). That said, since we were travelling as a big family with seniors, it was still slightly inconvenient. Hence just something to keep in mind - make sure to book the same type of room if you want to stay together.

The property was perfectly located, although only a couple of streets away from St.Marks Square, it was quiet and you didn’t feel in the middle of all the tourists. The staff were incredibly helpful and courteous. We were in the annex part of the hotel which was delightful. The Rosa Salva hotel has a lovely bakery attached, so coffee and a cake for breakfast were right on the doorstep. The complimentary drink and snacks in the room were a really nice touch, you don’t get that in many hotels now.

If I was being super picky, maybe a mirror in the main room would be handy.

Friendly hotel staff (thanks Arun!) great location and very comfortable and spacious rooms.

There was a bakery/café connected to the hotel and one female employee had an unpleasant attitude

The location is truly in the heart of Venice. Easy access to everything! Staff were nice. The room size was huge given it was in the most touristy area of Venice. The pictures made the hotel look like everything was brand spanking new but its definitely been several years since any upgrade. No complaints though, it was within our budget.

We stayed at two locations in venice. Rosa Salva and a Airbnb in the Cannaregio area. The Airbnb was 60% of the Rosa Salva costs but of course no daily housekeeping or 24hr access to a concierge. Overall, I cant say Rosa Salva is worth the extra cost but if you want to be in the heart of Venice with lots of shopping near by, this hotel is key.

The staff (Antonio in particular) went above and beyond to help us arrange transport to get to the airport at 4 in the morning. They were helpful, courteous, pleasant and always reliable. The location simply cannot be beat and the family room is wonderful for families with children. Also loved that the rooms had free water, yogurt, juice and crackers. The staff also made the beds and replaced everything in the room EACH night, which was wonderful.

The family room does not have lift access and we knew this so we were ok with it but others might. It's very short flights and the staff carried our suitcases up (which they didn't have to do but we appreciated very much!!)

The customer service was better then a 10. From the pick up at the airport and drop off next to the hotel it was true door to door service. They had everything from breakfast to even lending umbrellas on a rainy day. Would definitely recommend this place of traveling to Venice. Only a 2 min walk from all the attractions within the city. Can't wait to make to come back and stay here again.

I believe this is a European thing and since I'm fro. The US the bed could just be a little softer. This is not on the hotel this is on culture because I do not believe they have done anything wrong but this option of having a softer bed would make us westerners so happy and would just set this hotel over the top.

The location of the hotel was one of the reasons we booked it, and it did not disappoint. We were able to easily get to the best sights in 5-10 minutes. The amenities were great. We really enjoyed how clean, new, and well-kept the room was. Finding a room with great ventilation in Europe is hard, so we were pleasantly surprised with this one. And we enjoyed the free snacks and water in the fridge. Lastly, the staff was amazing! From check-in to check-out, they truly made our stay an unforgettable one.

Nothing! Everything was amazing.
