  : Great location. Beautiful rooms.
  : We had 3 different stays at the Ca'Amadi. This review is for our stay for 3 nights for 3 people. We arrived on the day when the water buses weren't available because of a regatta so we got a taxi to take us from the airport to the train station which left us to walk the rest of the way to the hotel. I had quite a bit of luggage and fell twice on the crowded streets; once I bumped my head pretty hard on the street. There was no one at the hotel when we arrived so there was no way to get ice for my head, etc. We soaked a small towel in cold water for my head, and I ended up being OK, but I don't know what we would have done if it had been more serious. We didn't see any staff member of the hotel until the next morning at breakfast. The staff person at breakfast was not very helpful and the food was quite meager for price. We ate there only 1 day.

  : The location in the heart of Venice - a few steps from Rialto - is fantastic. As was our room almost on water level with the gondolas and boats gliding past our window (cushions provided to sit on window sill and watch traffic ;-)) . This was the highlight of the hotel!It is the house of Marco Polo so in the breakfast aerea you feel like being centuries back. Wonderful. Cleanliness and space ok.
  : Only some smaller points: You reach the front entrance via a narrow, dark side alley. We didn't mind but some single travellers may. Not a negative, but to note: this place is not barrier-free - stairs must be navigated at least one floor up to entrance area.Very little interaction with staff, reception mostly not manned. Service at breakfast functional but not really attentive.Breakfast buffet ok but somewhat limited "Italian" (Croissant, a little fruit,; no eggs (blamed on Corona), no "hardy" options.)We decided to sleep with windows open - listening to the water... hundered bug bites later we learned it was very romantic but not a great idea.

  : staff were very nice, apartment was very big, maybe two big for the two of us!
  : breakfast wasn’t what was expected, was still good but shouldn’t be advertised as breakfast, maybe as coffee & baked good!

  : It's an old palazzo and you need to be aware of what you are likely to get - old rooms. It was nicely done but there is no getting around the fact that it was never designed as a modern hotel. But none of that matters when you lie down and look up at the 900 year old ceilings of the old palace! Magnificent. And the view from the window out over the canal... quaint and to die for
  : If all else fails, just make sure the beds are incredible and then all else doesn't matter. They need to be first rate mattresses. They weren't.

Very Good

  : The breakfast was quite meager considering the cost.The staff was not very accessible, even at breakfast.
