While maintaining the characteristic features of a traditional Venetian building, the hotel offers a comfortable retreat after days spent exploring Venice’s labyrinthine streets and canals. The property’s name, “House of Lions,” hints at Venice’s historic connection to the lion of St. Mark, the patron saint of the city, adding another layer of cultural significance to your stay.

  Nicoló, the host was superb. Very cordial and very informative. Ask him stuffs properly and he is the best guide possible for Venice. Be it service in hotel or places for kids he is the man.

• Colin from Australia – 20 December 2024 (9/10)

  Great value, exceptionally helpful staff, very clean and comfortable facilities.

• Victor from Australia – 18 November 2024 (8/10)

  It had an authentic feel and the staff were very friendly and even offered room service to save us from having breakfast in the garden on a cold day but it was so different we decided to brave the cold like the other guests. Their english is very good and they are very helpful with information on Venice.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was fine for us but this is not for someone wanting a glitzy modern appointments but for someone wanting a genuine historical feel.

• Ales from Czech Republic – 8 November 2024 (9/10)

  Nice spot nor far from center
  
  What could be improved: Nice staff

• Dennis from Australia – 19 October 2024 (9/10)

  Exceptionally helpful staff

• Jennifer from United Kingdom – 19 October 2024 (8/10)

  The location was perfect – a quiet peaceful corner of the city away from all the tourists. The room was comfortable and very historic. I enjoyed breakfast on the veranda every morning and the staff were very friendly with us. I highly recommend staying here.
  
  What could be improved: The room was a little small but not a major problem. Breakfast is the same for everyone apart from the drinks, so if you like jam and croissants that's fine but apart from that there's not really much choice. Also the pigeons descend for your breakfast in the masses, I adore pigeons so this didn't bother me but it may do for other people.
