Pensione Seguso

A WONDERFUL Venetian experience! The staff, especially Lawrence and his mother, were so helpful, kind and funny - they made the stay especially lovely. On our last day, Lawrence said,"You are home here.." and that felt so true. We stayed there MANY years ago, and were delighted to feel that the old-world charm and beauty of the place is unchanged. Rooms with a view of Guidecca are full of light - don't be put off by "shared bath" - it's not that big of a deal. A true find in our ever-changing world. (And the elevator is a HUGE plus for those of us with aging knees!)

Charming, authentic little spot. If you like modern, homogenized, soulless hotels, don't stay here. This place is for experiencing Italy and supporting Venice. A little quirky, but that's the fun part! The staff was so kind and helpful, they called 3 restaurants to get me a reservation on my first night in. Note of caution: ******* pics dont represent the ACTUAL hotel room you get. I was lucky the room I really wanted was available to change to. The breakfast was okay and there are a few rundown spots in the building but the old charm and helpful staff make up for it!! Steps from the Alilaguna Zattere stop so not far for luggage. There's even a tiny elevator. 20 min walk to the main tourist square.

Nice but basic Very nice staff but breakfast quite basic and room in need of updating.

Simple but unique Excellent place outside the busiest tourist area with excellent connections. I enjoyed reaching the main locations with short walk or few stops by vaporetto. Room was simple but the view: My personal preference is Giudecca canal with its busy - professional - traffic beats the busy tourist boat crowd on Canal grande any day, so no gondolas but fire brigade, police, ambulances, car ferries for Lido…
