B&B Ca' Dor

The room was cozy and decent size.

The shower was way too small but we made it work.

I had a very pleasant 3-night stay and would happily recommend this place for short visits. It was surprisingly difficult to find places on the island with consistently positive reviews for cleanliness, so this place stood out to me. I’m glad to say it absolutely did not disappoint. The location was an easy, straightforward walk from both the train and bus stations, as well as ferries to stops around the island, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The surrounding streets are clearly marked, making it simple to find your way to the main attractions. The room and bathroom were clean, with fresh towels provided every few days. I appreciated the extra linen and pillows, as well as the available wardrobe space and in-room safe for valuables. The host was very welcoming, responsive, and helpful throughout the stay. They sent clear self-check-in instructions well in advance, including photos of every step, which made the process very straightforward. There was a code lock at the main gate (which seems fairly common across the island), and a staircase with a few steps leading up to the property entrance on the first floor. The wi-fi signal was good, and the shared breakfast area was equipped with a selection of pre-packaged continental breakfast items (milk, jams, tea, croissants, etc.). There was also crockery and cutlery, an espresso machine with coffee pods, kettle and microwave, and a fridge and freezer for storing food, Hot water was consistent throughout the day, with good water pressure, and daily housekeeping was carried out as advertised.

The beds were comfortable enough for a few nights but could benefit from an upgrade, as the springs are noticeable. This was communicated honestly by the host in advance, which I appreciated. I had read reviews about noise at late hours so I had earplugs with me and had no trouble sleeping at night. These can be purchased from a nearby hardware store as needed. There were a few minor cosmetic issues, but nothing that impacted functionality. The shower was on the smaller side, with a relatively high step, which could be challenging for guests with mobility concerns. The washing machine and kitchen in the communal areas were not available for use, which wasn't unexpected as they were not included in the listing. Overall, a clean, well-located, and honestly represented place with a helpful host - great for a short stay!

le lit confortable. La propreté.

la salle de bain à l'extérieur de la chambre. Le bruit le soir car la chambre donne directement sur la rue au dessus d'un bar de nuit. Les fenêtres ne sont pas isolées et ne ferment pas correctement.

Good location right in the middle of Venice. The sheets and towels were clean and good quality.

The accommodation was very basic. If you're happy with cheap and basic you won't be disappointed. Some breakfast options were provided but we bought our own as they were not great. Our separate private bathroom was tiny but adequate. The pictures had suggested it was better than it is. Needs a bit of tlc.
