Loved the location
First, the positives: Hotel Pausania is located in a convenient location. It's a short walk from the hotel to the Ca' Rezzonico water bus stop, two plazas with plenty of dining options, and a bridge that crosses the Grand Canal, which leads to the main tourist area. The bathroom in our room was spotless and modern; the bedroom featured a beautiful ceiling mural and glass chandelier. The hotel also has a lovely breakfast room that overlooks a grassy courtyard. The buffet-style breakfast was a hit with our American teens. Now the negatives...My family had booked two rooms through Hotels.com, one in my name, the other in my adult son's name. At check-in, the desk clerk accepted my name and our passports to check into the first room, but asked my son to produce additional proof of his reservation. Next we encountered a foul odor in the family room, which I brought to the attention of hotel staff. To their credit, they promptly sent someone to investigate and it seemed better when we returned from dinner. Before dinner, I saw an employee standing by a bar in the lobby area. I inquired about a drink and was advised to make one in my room with the minibar. Finally, there was maintenance work going on in the narrow hallway at the top of the steps just outside our room door the morning that we checked out.

Excellent service plus beautiful peace in Venice
I can highly recommend Hotel Pausania, it is a beautiful place to stay while in Venice, located just off a quiet square with many lovely neighbourhoods to explore & have meals in. It is within walking distance to the Peggy Guggenheim Museum, Academy Bridge, also the water taxi can drop and pick you up nearby. Thanks to Hotel Pausania for a peaceful & delightful stay in Venice, my room had a beautiful view over the garden from big double windows that opened for the morning sun.

Lovely situation in the less touristy area of Venice, in the university area where lots of local people live. Close to the Grand Canal for water transport. Lots of good sensibly priced places to eat and drink. Brilliant breakfasts and staff all friendly and helpful. We had a lovely short break and if we visit Venice again we will come back here.

Hotel Pausania is a very well kept 3* hotel in the charming quarter of Dorsoduro, where some of the best museums and galleries are located. The vaporetto stop is Ca' Rezzonico, where the Alilaguna airport boat can be reached. Don't miss the opportunity to visit Ca' Rezzonico, an 18th century noble palace where you can have a glimpse of the richness of the Republic in elaborate carvngs, paintings and authentic furnishings. Brocaded walls, silken coverings, a walk-in closet with delicately hand painted doors can be seen up close. There is a cafe where you can enjoy a reasonably priced sandwich and drink overlooking the Grand Canal, a premium in Venice. The front desk manager was genteel and helpful in all matters, including help with luggage, as there is no elevator in this authentic Venetian former residence. Restaurants are plentiful a short walk away on Piazza San Barnaba. Ristoteca Oniga was my favorite, with delicious Venetian specialties, friendly service and rustic ambience. Or, turn left as you exit the hotel, cross the little bridge and head to Piazza San Margarita, a huge square lined with good, affordable restaurants, gelaterias and several ATMs. The hotel serves a good breakfast overlooking a pleasant garden. The cold cuts are above average. I would return in a heartbeat, but bring a wash cloth because they are rarely supplied in this category hotel. The towels, mattress and bedding were excellent, however. A great choice in the quiet heart of Venice.

Great hotel
Helpful staff. Very nice room. Pretty entryway to the lobby and the upstairs entry way was extra pretty with ceiling murals and chandeliers. A few sets of stairs to climb to our room, but there was a porter for suitcases if needed. Good breakfast choices and yummy cappuccinos. A bit further away from main areas. I would stay here again.
