Fenix La Bohéme

Hotel Description

Nestled in the enchanting district of Castello, the charming three-star Fenix La Bohéme offers visitors a quintessential Venetian experience. Situated on the quaint Corte del Soldà, this well-appointed establishment has earned a respectable 7.3 rating from satisfied guests who appreciate its distinctive blend of comfort and authentic Italian hospitality. The hotel’s strategic location in the Castello sestiere—one of Venice’s most historic and character-filled districts—places guests in an ideal position to explore the city’s rich tapestry of cultural landmarks and hidden treasures. Just a leisurely stroll from the bustling St. Mark’s Square (Piazza San Marco), yet removed enough to provide a peaceful retreat from the tourist crowds, Fenix La Bohéme strikes a perfect balance between convenience and tranquility in the floating city.

The Castello district surrounding Fenix La Bohéme is a delight to discover, offering a more authentic glimpse into Venetian daily life than many of the city’s more tourist-saturated areas. Within walking distance, guests can explore the magnificent Arsenale—Venice’s historic shipyard and naval power center—as well as the picturesque Riva degli Schiavoni waterfront promenade, which offers breathtaking views across the lagoon to San Giorgio Maggiore. Art enthusiasts will appreciate the hotel’s proximity to the Biennale Gardens, home to Venice’s renowned international art exhibition, while those seeking spiritual or architectural wonders can visit the Church of San Pietro di Castello, once the cathedral of Venice before St. Mark’s Basilica. The hotel’s solid 7.3 rating reflects guests’ satisfaction with both its convenient location and the quality of service provided, making it a recommended choice for travelers seeking authentic Venetian accommodations without the premium prices of canal-front properties.

Fenix La Bohéme embodies the artistic spirit suggested by its name, offering a bohemian-inspired haven after days spent navigating Venice’s labyrinthine streets and canals. While maintaining the classical Venetian architectural elements that guests expect from this historic city, the hotel balances tradition with modern comforts to ensure a pleasant stay. The three-star rating indicates a commitment to quality essentials rather than unnecessary extravagance—perfectly aligned with the authentic experience many visitors seek when coming to Venice. The property’s position in Castello offers guests a dual advantage: easy access to renowned landmarks like the Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica, yet with the opportunity to discover local bacari (wine bars), neighborhood restaurants, and artisan shops frequented by locals rather than tourists. For travelers looking to experience Venice beyond the postcard views, Fenix La Bohéme provides not just accommodation but a genuine portal into the heart of Venetian culture. Whether visiting during the misty winter months when the city reclaims its mysterious allure, or during the vibrant summer season when Venice pulses with artistic and cultural events, this thoughtfully situated hotel serves as an ideal base for exploration and discovery in one of the world’s most captivating destinations.

Reviews

• Francia from United States – 17 September 2022 (8/10)

  Everything:
  location, comfortable bed, beautiful setting, all the staff very attentive (provided specific directions about how to get there without any issues), Ionela very kind, Francesca and Matteo as well. I’m beyond happy with everything! I’m sure going back 👌😊
  
  What could be improved: nothing
  (the toilet odor that people were complaining, I figured it out and placed the trash can to cover the shower drainage, so I didn’t have any issue with that matter).

• Erin from Australia – 13 February 2025 (7/10)

  Location was great and sign in was very easy! It was simple and comfy and clean
  
  What could be improved: Wi-FI didn't work for two days

• Tone from Norway – 20 April 2024 (8/10)

  What could be improved: The sofabed was a little uncomfertable, otherwise the place was great

• Brigitte from United Kingdom – 1 April 2024 (8/10)

  It was a very clean apartment with comfy beds, a lovely balcony, plenty of space, nice shower gel, and good storage and hanging space. Short walk to the waterbus stop.
  
  What could be improved: It was very noisy. The apartment above were very noisy, and you could hear people just below in the street. It was a slightly long walk to the main area, but the Garibaldi 2 mins walk away was very convenient with supermarkets and cafes.

• Fatima from South Africa – 24 September 2023 (8/10)

  It was close to Via Garibaldi which has cute restaurants and much quieter than the busy part in Venice
  
  What could be improved: They charge you extra for late check in and the day I came the water buses were on strike and had to walk all the way to the apartment from the station. If
  I arrived later they would have charged me for late check in

• Siónna from Ireland – 10 February 2023 (8/10)

  Lovely, friendly hosts and a nice room. I was able to collect the keys from a safety deposit box, meaning I wasn’t rushing from my flight and was able to meet the host in the morning instead.

• Nada from Czech Republic – 20 September 2022 (8/10)

  Quiet location, bakery next door, local people

• Andrea from United Kingdom – 15 September 2022 (8/10)

  A light airy large 3rd floor apartment with a balcony. A view of quiet streets away from the noise. 3 minutes walk from the Giardini Biennale site. Very near the lush and peaceful end of Venice. Air conditioning was great on hot nights. Friendly welcome.
  
  What could be improved: The late check in fee I incurred because my flight was delayed. Apartment needs some redecorating. No microwave and only basic kitchen equipment.

• Sonja from Germany – 28 July 2022 (7/10)

  very cozy appartment, nice bathroom and very kind and helpful staff
  
  What could be improved: we were missing an ac or a kind of ventilator, because throughout the day it got pretty warm inside the appartment.

• Zane from Latvia – 5 July 2022 (8/10)

  Very nice location close to Biennale. Super good communication and all in all comfy and nice place.
