Hotel Malibran

Hotel Description

Welcome to Hotel Malibran, a charming three-star establishment nestled in the historic heart of Venice, Italy. Located in the authentic Cannaregio district at Cannaregio 5864, this welcoming hotel offers visitors an opportunity to experience the true essence of Venetian life away from the most crowded tourist areas, while still remaining conveniently close to the city’s most celebrated attractions. With a solid guest rating of 7.7, Hotel Malibran has established itself as a reliable and comfortable base for travelers seeking to explore the magical floating city.

The Cannaregio district, where Hotel Malibran proudly stands, is one of Venice’s most fascinating neighborhoods, offering a glimpse into authentic Venetian daily life. This northern sestiere is known for its picturesque canals, historic Jewish Ghetto (the world’s oldest), and a refreshing lack of tourist congestion compared to areas around San Marco. The hotel’s strategic location places guests within walking distance of the magnificent Rialto Bridge, one of Venice’s most iconic landmarks spanning the Grand Canal, which is just a short stroll away. The famous St. Mark’s Square with its stunning basilica and campanile can be reached within approximately 15 minutes on foot, allowing guests to easily access Venice’s primary attractions while returning to a more peaceful setting at day’s end. The district itself is home to beautiful churches including the Madonna dell’Orto and Santa Maria dei Miracoli, as well as numerous traditional bacari (Venetian wine bars) where visitors can sample local cicchetti (small plates) and wines. The nearby Fondamenta della Misericordia and Fondamenta dei Ormesini offer excellent dining options frequented by locals rather than tourists, providing an authentic taste of Venetian cuisine.

Hotel Malibran offers the warm hospitality and personalized service that are hallmarks of smaller, family-run Venetian establishments. The hotel’s reasonable 7.7 rating reflects its commitment to providing comfortable accommodations at a fair value in a city known for its premium pricing. Guests consistently appreciate the hotel’s Venetian character and authentic atmosphere, which allows for a more immersive experience than many larger, more commercial properties. The three-star designation indicates that while guests can expect all essential amenities and comfortable rooms, the hotel focuses on providing good value rather than luxury excesses. This approach resonates particularly well with travelers who prioritize location and authentic experience over lavish facilities, recognizing that in Venice, the true luxury lies in stepping outside your door into the living museum that is the city itself. The Cannaregio district’s excellent transportation links, including the nearby vaporetto (water bus) stops and the Santa Lucia train station within reasonable walking distance, further enhance the hotel’s appeal by making both arrival and exploration straightforward affairs. Whether you’re seeking to lose yourself in Venice’s labyrinthine alleys, cruise the iconic canals, or simply watch the world go by from a canalside café, Hotel Malibran provides a welcoming haven in one of the world’s most extraordinary cities.

  What could be improved: Holes in the carpet. Electricity a bit dodgy, sockets off the wall , hairdryer cut out.

• William from United Kingdom – 4 June 2024 (8/10)

  A central location in the Rialto district but off a very small square away from the main pedestrian routes. So very convenient for much of the city but still affording a good night's sleep. I opted for half board, which gave me a good breakfast and a substantial second meal, which could be taken at any time between lunch and evening without any requirement to book a time.

• Kamaldeo from Trinidad and Tobago – 20 May 2024 (8/10)

  Malibran is vintage and quite comfortable and clean with good location advantage.
  
  What could be improved: Some upgrades are required of the facilities
