Unfortunately, we did not read these reviews before booking and would have otherwise asked about the construction. We booked through the hotel and there was not a mention of this at all. The experience seriously downgraded our experience. The green mesh was up all around the windows. But, the main problem was having workers taking out our windows at 8:00am... more

Sometimes in life you find a little gem tucked away in a side street. The Gaffaro is one of those gems. Small, clean, tidy, attentive and in a great location, you really can't ask for more. In fact, it's so good I've stayed there twice! In you're going to Venice, and everyone really should, then you'll find nowhere better to... more

We loved this little place! My husband and I traveled with his parents to Italy and Venice was our first stop. This was a perfect place for us! The rooms were clean and really made you feel like you were in Italy. My in-laws stayed on the first floor and they loved it, nice size room and bathroom too! We... more

Nice clean rooms, modern ensuite. Breakfast was delivered to room, although was not that flash. The location was good. Our room was close to reception so a little noisy. But we enjoyed our stay here. more

The hotel was covered in scaffolding and green netting as the building is undergoing renovation and workmen were noisily hacking out bricks (I think to make more windows) on ground floor during the day. All windows were therefore covered and you couldn't look out or get light in. This wasn't mentioned. The outside terrace is no longer available for breakfast... more

I booked this wonderful little hotel for my daughter and her three girl friends, based on the trip advisor reviews and they were not disappointed. They visited Venice to experience Carnevale. First off, let me say that the girls had nothing but outstanding things to say about this little gem of a hotel; in particular it's location and the wonderful... more

Toronto, Canada We stayed at this hotel from June 28 to July 1, 2007. We are a family of four, with teenage children. I booked it based on the reviews on tripadvisor. I was not disappointed. We had a quad room which was cozy and clean. Bathroom was new and clean. We had breakfast in our room every morning at... more

Knowing that Venice is expensive and small, the saavy traveler will book an inn like Gaffaro for its location, cleanliness and small inn feel. The rooms are very clean and appointed well but not luxurious. The owners father Piero mans the front desk most days and is a pleasant gentleman with a quick smile and offfers reasonable places to eat... more

This was within half a mile of the piaza romana where all the buses drop you off. Peter was the owner when we went during Christmas season. It's a bed and breakfast and the bathrooms are updated, clean, and fresh. The internet cafe (cafe blue) nearby was more of a bar than a place to do research but the immediate... more
