loved my stay here
i stayed at the santa chiara during spring break, ie. april 2007. i had a double room, unfortunately without a grand canal view, which was more expensive. but my room was extremely clean with a clean bathroom.the location of this hotel is unbeatable, adjacent to piazzale roma, which makes it much easier to get a taxi to this hotel.the vaporetto stops are literally steps away and the area also is very close to the train station. the afternoon manager,Mr. Domenico is a gem of a person who also was a great source of extremely reliable... more
Never Again - March 4-5, 07
I stayed at this hotel for one night because it was near the Cruise Port and the train station. We got a room on expedia.com for appx. $175.00 US for a quad on the top floor. The room was small and so was the bathroom but we expected that from a European hotel. However, the room was dingy and dirty and some sort of bed bugs because in the morning we had bites on our arms and faces. I would never stay in this hotel after this experience again.

Dear Friends, I'm really sad in reading this review. Our room at the 4th Floor are very big for Europe. There is a king-size bed in it plus a sofa bed and a roll-away bed. This room have also three windows overlooking the Small Canal (Rio Nuovo) and the Gardens Papadopoli. Concerning the Bugs, I can assure you that this is impossible. We constantly clean and wash moquette, beds, carpets and everything else we have in our rooms. If you have something in your harm and face is for sure a problem with what you eated the evening before, probably a bad fish or an old salsa. I'm sorry for that, but it's not our fault!!! Every room is very very clean, we check them everyday. I'm at your disposal for any other question, thank you and have a nice day.

Good Location-Lousy Business people
I made my reservation for one night, six months in advance because of the convenient location for transportation to the airport . We had bebarked a cruise and had an early flight home. Upon arrival at the hotel they tried to switch us off to the annex , about 3 blocks away and not accessible by taxi. The only room the hotel could give us, upon my insistance, was a single with a roll away. We took it with a reduced rate. The room was OK but not what we had reserved. We ordered a taxi through the desk for 6AM and the clerk ordered a limo... more

Dear Friend, We are sorry for the late reply to your review. If you check our web site you will see that Hotel Santa Chiara and his annex Residenza Parisi are sold as same thing, because they are the same thing!!! The services are the same in both buildings and the rooms in the annex are very very big (about 25 meter square+bathroom). The annex is 100 meters far from the main building (not 3 blocks) and we have a porterage service for the bags. If you book directly with us you can tell your preference and choose the main building or the annex, thing that you cannot do if you book through a TO or a web site. In any case when you arrive at the hotel you can change your room, but if we have availability left!!! In effect we propose you the room that was available in the main building when you told us that you didn't like the annex. If you tell us your preference in advance we will be happy to reserve your preferred room. Every TO and Web site should write clearly that we have this annex. If someone don't write anything about Residenza Parisi please let us know directly, we will call them and amend the information. we don't want any misunderstanding about that! Concerning the limo I can tell you for sure that you are wrong, there is no limo service in Venice!!! Probably the taxi was a bit better than the standard one, but the price is the same. In any case we are not responsible for the public transportation service.

Fantastic Views of grand canal
Having visited this page before travelling to Venice and reading the reviews of the hotel I might have decide that the trip and stay would be unpleasant, as there were comments about unfriendly service and bugs in the bed and air conditioning that was innefective. None of the above were true! The hotel was welcoming and beautifully decorated with venetian glass chandellers. The breakfast room had tables overlooking the Grand Canal and the breakfast served was a buffett style, although it was hard to concentrate on eating as it was... more
Nice hotel in Venice
We booked a room for three persons and we got very nice room with toilet. Windows were towards a bus station and Canal Grande. A bus station is very noisy. Hotel persons were very friendly.
Disapointed
I went in Venice for business, unfortunately the places I usually go were full. So I got a reservation in the Santa Chiara for a double room and I arrived in Venice. At the check in, they firstly told me that no more rooms were available and that I've to go to another hotel owned by the same company at about 100m. This wasn't what I expected but went to see the room, it was new, large and clean but this was a residence and not a hotel (no Breakfast, bar, service, lobby at this place). Secondly the TV' international channels were not working,... more
Cute
So this hotel is very quaint and cute, even considering it's location...right next to the bus park. The staff was extremely pleasent in comparison to the staff we had at our hotel in Vienna and felt very comfortable addressing any concerns we had with them. The room on the other hand had some problems. We booked it with one double bed and what we got was two smaller beds pushed together. I woke up a couple times slipping through the crack! Very uncomfortable. The bed even seemed to slope towards the crack. The bathroom was a... more
Problems with Internet booking agent
The hotel was in a good location and our rooms in the new extension were clean, spacious and quiet with enormous bathrooms. The problem was that we booked the hotel through the Holidaycity website. We were quoted a total of 1230 euros but the hotel charged us 1641 euros. A difference of 411 euros. Despite having our e-mail voucher from Holidaycity, the hotel were adamant that we had to pay this higher price and that we had to take the issue up with Holidaycity. This I did but after an initial sympathetic response they are no longer... more
Disappointed
The booking for the hotel included the phrase '...or accommodated at the more modern nearby annex.' This annex proved to be the Hotel Parisi, a second categoria residenza - not the 3 star Santa Chiara. Our room was large and the bathroom equipped for disabled persons. It was also very quiet as the room we had was to the rear, so no view of the adjacent Grand Canal. Location, whilst out of the centre, is superbly placed for the airport buses and water buses. The noise from nearby bus station did not intrude. The Santa Chiara Hotel is... more
The good and the bad...
We arrived at the Hotel Santa Chiara after a fairly negative hotel experience in Florence. To our surprise, the hotel staff was friendly, the room was bright and pretty, and the location was outstanding. We were elated! Then the problems began the first night. It was hot outside, and our A/C wasn't really spitting out much cool air...but it was dripping water all over the bathroom and entrance way to our room. The dripping was a mess, and it kept my husband awake. We told the staff the next morning, and they told us the problem... more
