Hotel AL Codega

Although this hotel was hard to find, it was worth the wondering. I do think this hotel should add some sort of helpful sign indicating where the hotel is located. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They spoke very good English and provided maps and directions so we did not get lost again. They offered us suggestions on places to eat for typical venice food and the major places to shop. The room was very luxurious. COMFTY BEDS! Clean and the bathroom was nice. We could open our window and look out on the square and breakfast in the morning was delicious. The staff knew us by name and tried to accommodate us the best she could. Very impressed.
Now for the cons– Of course it was pricey but I think it was worth it. The towel warmer did not work and I wish I would have known that before we tried to turn it on for about an hour before asking staff! Also, one day when we came home from our daily adventure, the maid had left our door slightly open and the window wide open so some Mosquitos came in for a visit. I was panicked at first and thought my stuff had been touched. If this was the case my review would be much different. All I my belonging were where I left them but I was very disappointed the maid had been so careless. We told the front desk and they apologized and said it wasn’t the first time.
However, I would stay there again in a heart beat!

The hotel was extremely difficult to find. It’s located in a tiny square that is really difficult to locate between the tiny streets, but it makes for a very quiet place. It was located close to major squares (a 10 minute walk to San Marco square).
Very small room, no view out the window (it’s side to side with a building). It was very dark. The bathroom had a smell, which was weak but very unpleasant).
They had very good breakfast (variety, yogurt, toaster, fruit, scrambled eggs, sliced sandwich meat, pastries, tea/​coffee service). Hotel has a 24 hour reception.
The staff was friendly, but not very useful. The airline lost our baggage, and we asked the front desk person to check in on it for us (we figured he’d get farther speaking Italian). They didn’t take any initiative. We reminded them every day to check, and even though they gladly did, they never checked on their own. We stayed there for 5 nights and our luggage was never found. They not once called the airline without us having to ask them.
The hotel is pricey, but the prices are similar to other hotels in the area. Venice is very expensive overall, so I would avoid staying there Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights as the prices for hotels tripple. When we were booking the hotel, we got a total price for the days that we wanted to stay there, but upon checkout when we got the itemized bill, the weekend nights were so expensive that if we knew ahead of time, we would have left earlier.
Bottom line: would not stay there again.
