Very nice host and room. Perfect location for us: not noisy, but walkable to most of the attractions. The room was cleaned every day. The hotel is beautiful, and we liked the atmosphere of the place very much. It was also nice, that the hotel is not in the center of the tourist area, and there are lots of cafes and restaurants where locals go, which means high ratings and tasty food. Another thing that it was quite in the hotel and near it, we slept like babies. :) We really enjoyed our stay, and recommend this place!

The hotel is a distance away from St Marco so if you don't want to walk a long way at the end of the day you better take a boat home. We did not realised that they are the only glass factory on the main island but unfortunately it was impossible to go round as they only have tours on first and third Wednesday of the month and they are fully booked until July. They are quite a lot of little eateries nearby. If you don't want to have breakfast at the hotel, they are plenty coffee/bar nearby. The room is simple with lovely example of their mosaic, a shower room and a walk-in wardrobe. They are only a handful of bedrooms.

The shower cubicle in our room was quite small. There is space for a large one.

The room was shockingly spacious for an accommodation in Venice. It was also sparkly clean; there was someone who tidied up the room after 2 days and swapped out our towels with fresh ones. Moreover, its location is amazing as it is a mere 3-5 minute walk from a vaporetto (water bus) stop! This proved to be handy as Guglie, the name of the nearest water bus stop to Domus Orsoni, is one of the very few terminals which water buses from the airport stop at. As such, shuttling back and forth between stops within mainland Venice, the other Venetian islands like Murano and Burano, and the Marco Polo airport proved to be very easy and convenient. To top it all off, Valentina, the main host, was responsive and accommodating. She answered our questions a few hours after we posed them and made sure that one of her colleagues welcomed us to our room when we checked in outside of their usual check-in times. All things considered, we had a very pleasant stay in Domus Orsoni and would not hesitate to book it again should we find ourselves in Venice in the future.

The only nitpick we have with the room we were given was that it felt quite stuffy and warm in the evenings. If the ventilation in the room is improved and addressed, this accommodation will undoubtedly deserve a perfect 10/10.

Big and quiet room, very clean; the black out and the anti noise window works really fine. The installation is very beautiful and close to the train station. Lovely place to stay.

They asked me to pay a city tax value 3X times higher than the value that was on the advertisement and was on my reservation. I thought that was very unfair and inelegant especially because the staff person tried to impose it in a very unpolished way. After a 5 minute telefone talk with the main host then she finally said I was correct if I paid the value that was pointed on my reservation. That was what I did but the situation was very uncomfortable. They should put a door on the bathroom stall because it's open the way it is, it makes a lot of mess and you have to dry it afterwards.

Great value and location. Wonderful mosaics in the house (as you'd expect from Orsoni). Really friendly and accommodating staff, though not intrusive (nb no staff present in the evening and it's worth trying some basic Italian as not all staff speak English). The accommodation is often filled by visitors doing the Orsoni mosaic courses, but not when I visited. Very close to bars/restaurants and shops, though there's also a small fridge in the room. A lively residential neighbourhood - not too touristy, but within walking distance of all the main sights/sites.

Shower more like a wet room so floors get wet. Warning: Floors are all terrazzo - so take slippers/socks as they can be cold underfoot.

The room was basic but very clean and comfortable. It had air con, and was a great size with a large, clean bathroom. The location was perfect - the local bars and restaurants were amazing and it felt a nice distance from the 'touristy' parts. They also allowed us to leave our luggage there after checking out on our last day.

As we stayed over the weekend, it felt very expensive for what it was.

Excellent location near the train station, at the same time very quiet and in a neighborhood that gives you a Venice local experience. The property is very conveniently close to the boat station. Valentina hosted us with utmost kindness and efficiency. The room is very large and the bathroom a delight. This was a really very pleasant experience. Definitely recommendable.

Not to stay longer

Domus Orsoni is in a great location with excellent options nearby for food and drink. It was a short walk to reach from the coach station and would be equally convenient for arriving by rail. The hotel is quite small (though spacious) and very quiet. The breakfast (continental) was excellent and good value (cheaper than any of the nearby bars or restaurants). The staff were very helpful and friendly. Most of the other guests were there for learning about glass mosaics (made in the attached glass foundry) and the hotel was filled with beautiful examples. The neighborhood has a great selection of bars and restaurants and there are a number of interesting places to visit right on your doorstep.

The main doorbell didn't work. Otherwise, there was simply nothing not to like.

Excellent location: ferry stop right on the doorstep with direct connections to the San Marco area, airport, and murano. Clean comfortable non smoking rooms with good air-conditioning and very spacious. Beautiful common areas with unusual and vivid mosaics. Valentina was very flexible and communicative and made our stay seamless.

The hotel is located at 10mins walking distance from the Santa Lucia train station. Although its like in between the main city, the hotel area is very peaceful, surrounded by beautiful garden trees and canal on the other side. Rooms are quite spacious. The host is really gracious and helped with our heavy luggage too on arrival. the GPS location on Google maps is quite confusing for the hotel, but the neighbouring shops and hoteliers were quite helpful in guiding to exact location. A call to the host helped us spot the exact location. Hotel is also close to an Indian restaurant at 5mins walking distance which is another plus for Indian travellers.

AC temperature couldnt be controlled from the room, it was centralised . Got quite hot to chilly at times in the room. Checkout time was not flexible, we had to rush over for our connecting train from Venice after a quick yet fixed checkout at 9am. Poor wifi in the room probably due to the location of the router from the room. The lobby receives good signal though.
