It’s a small old boutique type of hotel owned by a family. The staff are the owners and they are delightful.. their recommendations were excellent. We had such a lovely time. The rooms are simple but very clean. The shower works very well with great water pressure and the air conditioner was excellent.
Amazing hotel and amazing staff!! So kind and so helpful!! A family run hotel and they are all about helping their customers have a wonderful experience!! Definitely book your stay here with them!!
Good location and excellent helpful staff. Only complaint is no coffee maker in the room.

Gem of a hotel near San Marco
Hotel Fontana is a gem run by 2 cousins who understand customer service. You can not ask for a better location and the breakfast, which you have to buy, is well worth the €11 charged. And they have an elevator that works!
I expect a hotel in Venice to be a bit dated, it's part of the charm, but my parents stayed in a room that smelt bad. Not sure what it was but we had to keep the windows open at all times. If they get that fixed, 10/10.
Looks a bit old, but is well kept and very clean. Friendly and helpful staff. A bit far from the train and bus stations, but very close to attractions and to water bus service.
Would stay there again.
Nice area with plenty of shops and restaurants. It is a small hotel run by two cousins who were very pleasant and accommodating. the continental Breakfast was optional fee and was very good for the price

Disliked: Amenities
The staff was courteous and friendly. They agreed to move us out of our original room due to an odor in the bathroom overnight. They claimed nothing was wrong but when we checked it out again the odor was there. No coffeemaker in room. No coffee until 7:30 and only if you have free breakfast as part of your stay. Now that I have a better idea about Venice I would look at other options.
The hotel was was clean and in a very convenient location. The Fontana is a 5 minute walk from the San Marco vaporetto (water taxi) stop, so transportation to anywhere in Venice is quite easy. The staff is very friendly and quite helpful. Would definitely recommend it.
Nice little hotel, very warm welcome. Hotel is very well located, at a stone's throw from San Marco and the Palazzo Ducale. Great place to stay with many dining options nearby.
Great hotel very accessible to all major attractions in Venice. Staff was very friendly and helpful with all our requests. Great neighborhood with plenty of cafes and dining options!
This family owned, traditional, yet subtly updated, hotel was everything I needed in a hotel. Comfort. Convenient location. Charm. Really helpful staff.
Affordable and great for the price so many things to see within walking distance. Amazing front desk staff. Room was clean and the Air conditioner was a welcome addition after walking through Venice.
