The Caponi Bros

Great price and quick train ride to Venice. Comfortable bed and quiet. We believed that there was a shared kitchen according to the picture but no kitchen at all. We were offered to use the owners fridge but choose not to due to access limited in timing.

I stayed here alone. It’s fine for a solo trip, but I wouldn’t want to stay here with friends or family. The hallway lights are motion-sensor activated, which is good, but they would turn on even when no one was around, making a loud clicking sound each time. It was very disruptive, and I couldn’t sleep well because of it. I was also bothered by stains on the comforter and a strange odor in the room.

Okay for a quick stayover but would not stay there longer/again. Originally had not booked to stay in Venice this night, but due to Flixbus cancelling a bus from Pisa to Venice overnight, found ourselves catching a train and staying the night. Needed a cheap hotel as Venice can be very expensive and also one that allowed late check-in as train was not to arrive until 9.30pm. However train was delayed and so arrived eventually in Venice at around 11pm. Had contacted hotel on WhatsApp just to let them know about delay and seemed okay, as simply got OK back. Rang doorbell to what I thought was the hotel (was labelled Caponi Bros) to find a man leaning out from a window to ring another bell on another door. Was welcomed in, and shown basic room (enough for 4 people) and then headed to bed. Man said he was just staying across the room in what I believe was his room/apartment. Grateful he stayed up longer than expected as had hoped to arrive sooner. Shower room we were shown to use had no lock on it, not great when travelling with family Inc 2 females. Never stayed in a hotel with power/Ariel cables to TV fixed to wall with brown tape. Arrived 11pm, left at 10am next morning to make our way to another booked hotel. You get what you pay for, and Venice is expensive. Location was perfect as just a short walk from station or a minute from bus stop
