Hotel Al Ponte Mocenigo

Hotel Description

Nestled in the enchanting Santa Croce district of Venice, the three-star Hotel Al Ponte Mocenigo stands as a testament to Venetian elegance and hospitality. With an exceptional guest rating of 9.2, this highly acclaimed establishment has firmly established itself as one of the most beloved accommodations in the Floating City. Located at S.Croce 1985 on the charming Salizada San Stae, the hotel enjoys a privileged position away from the overwhelming tourist crowds, yet remains conveniently connected to Venice’s most treasured attractions. Its strategic location near the San Stae vaporetto stop provides guests with easy access to the Grand Canal, Venice’s magnificent aquatic thoroughfare that winds through the heart of this UNESCO World Heritage city. The hotel’s proximity to the Ponte Mocenigo, one of Venice’s characteristic bridges from which it takes its name, offers guests an authentic glimpse into Venetian life while providing a picturesque backdrop for morning strolls and evening wanderings.

The exceptional 9.2 rating of Hotel Al Ponte Mocenigo speaks volumes about the superior experience awaiting guests behind its elegant façade. This boutique accommodation masterfully balances traditional Venetian design elements with modern comforts, creating an atmosphere that is both timeless and contemporary. The Santa Croce district, where the hotel is situated, represents one of Venice’s most authentic neighborhoods, allowing visitors to discover local bacari (wine bars), artisan workshops, and quiet campos (squares) that larger tour groups often miss. From the hotel, guests can easily reach the magnificent Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Square within a pleasant 15-minute walk, crossing through picturesque alleyways and discovering hidden gems along the way. The nearby Ca’ Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art and the exquisite Church of San Giacomo dall’Orio provide cultural enrichment just moments from the hotel’s doorstep, while the vibrant Rialto Market offers a sensory feast of fresh local produce, seafood, and Venetian specialties for the culinary adventurer.

Hotel Al Ponte Mocenigo embodies the intimate charm that defines Venice’s most memorable stays. Despite its three-star classification, the exceptional rating of 9.2 reflects the hotel’s commitment to exceeding expectations through attentive service and thoughtful amenities. The Santa Croce address places guests in a neighborhood where authentic Venetian daily life continues uninterrupted by mass tourism, offering a glimpse into the city as locals experience it. Morning coffee consumed within view of a quiet canal, evening aperitivos shared in a neighborhood square, and the gentle lapping of water against centuries-old foundations become part of the daily rhythm for those fortunate enough to call Hotel Al Ponte Mocenigo their Venetian home, if only temporarily. As twilight descends on the lagoon city and the day’s visitors depart, guests of this exceptional establishment can savor the rare privilege of experiencing Venice at its most intimate and authentic, before retiring to their comfortable accommodations to dream of tomorrow’s Venetian adventures.

Reviews

• Erfan from Austria – 23 December 2024 (10/10)

  The staff is like a ray of sunshine. I'm usually not a morning person, but the attendants who bring in the breakfast buffet are in such a good mood that it’s contagious, and you automatically feel happy too
  
  What could be improved: Small nitpick: The stone floor in the room was quite cold. It would be fantastic if the Hotel could provide a pair of slippers for rooms with this type of flooring.

• Quenno from United Arab Emirates – 1 April 2025 (10/10)

  This is a great hotel. It’s a very convenient place to stay. It’s near to the one of the water bus station. The staff is very friendly and polite. I love the room, the air filter inside, and the lighting is definitely giving. I wish I could stay more. I like the breakfast, too.

• Nicola from United Kingdom – 29 March 2025 (9/10)

  The staff were friendly, and breakfast was lovely and plenty of choice. Great location and quiet.
  
  What could be improved: The room was so hot, so a fan in the room would have been good.
  Air conditioning not switched on for the season, so offering fans if required would be a good idea.

• Konstantin from United States – 8 March 2025 (10/10)

  Our room review applies to the annex, which was fully renovated less than a year ago. The room was very spacious (it had an entrance foyer, a large bathroom, and a walk-in closet (in Venice!!). The bedroom was large by any standard, had a king-size bed, and was impeccably clean. The breakfast was very good, nice variety of food, very attentive staff. We would gladly give this hotel 6 points out of 5 if the review system allowed it. Would love to come back and stay there again..

• Greg from Australia – 18 February 2025 (9/10)

  Staff were very friendly and helpful. Location is excellent. Rooms (and bed) were large and comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: The kitchen area is a little cramped when the hotel is full of people.

• Arlene from United Kingdom – 14 February 2025 (9/10)

• Kerri from Australia – 10 February 2025 (9/10)

  Owners & staff were wonderful.
  Location was great. Easy access from Alilaguna from the airport.

• Tomer from Israel – 10 February 2025 (10/10)

  The hotel is conveniently located near the San Stae water bus station, making arrival and departure effortless. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, assisting with our luggage and providing helpful insights about the city and transportation.
  
  Our room was spacious and situated in an external section just outside the main building, offering extra privacy while still enjoying a beautiful canal view. The hotel is in a quiet neighborhood, yet just a short walk from excellent restaurants and the city center.
  
  Breakfast was fantastic, with a wide variety of options, including a full English breakfast, fresh fruits, pancakes, and more.
  
  Overall, a wonderful stay—I highly recommend this hotel!

• Juan from United States – 2 February 2025 (10/10)

  Cannot think of a better place to stay in Venice. The place itself feels very Venetian. Feels like you are in an 18th century palace.
