Located on Calle Priuli Ai Cavalletti, Little Canal 8 provides an ideal base for exploring the enchanting city of Venice while experiencing the genuine character of one of its most distinctive neighborhoods.

The Cannaregio district, where Little Canal 8 is situated, represents authentic Venice away from the most crowded tourist paths while still being conveniently located for exploring all the city has to offer. This northern district is known for its picturesque canals, historic Jewish Ghetto (the world’s oldest), and a more relaxed, local atmosphere compared to the busier areas around San Marco. The hotel’s location on Calle Priuli Ai Cavalletti places guests within walking distance of several notable attractions, including the magnificent Ca’ d’Oro palace, the Madonna dell’Orto Church with its Tintoretto masterpieces, and the vibrant Fondamenta della Misericordia with its selection of authentic restaurants and bacari (traditional Venetian wine bars). Transportation is convenient as well, with the Fondamente Nove water bus stop nearby, offering direct connections to Murano, Burano, and other islands in the Venetian lagoon. The central Santa Lucia train station and Piazzale Roma (the city’s main bus terminal) are also within reasonable walking distance, making arrivals and departures stress-free.

Little Canal 8 has earned its strong 8.4 rating by consistently delivering a high-quality experience that combines traditional Venetian elements with modern comforts. The hotel features carefully appointed rooms that reflect Venice’s unique aesthetic while providing all the amenities today’s travelers expect. Many guests particularly appreciate the attentive and knowledgeable staff who are always ready to provide insider tips on exploring Venice like a local—from recommending hidden gem restaurants serving authentic cicchetti (Venetian tapas) to suggesting less-traveled routes for experiencing the city’s magic. The hotel’s name hints at its charming setting near one of Venice’s smaller canals, offering guests glimpses of the serene waterways that make this city so special. Whether you’re visiting Venice for the first time or returning to delve deeper into its layered history and culture, Little Canal 8 provides a welcoming and authentic base from which to experience the timeless beauty of La Serenissima.

  The location was perfect. It was very quiet despite being so close to some of the busiest areas on in Venice. The apartment was clean and spacious.

  perfect room

• Maciej from United Kingdom – 30 June 2023 (9/10)

  Quiet and nice place to stay. Close to train station and coach station. As Venice isn't to big it's easy to walk from there to any part of Venice or you can use water bus. Lot of shops and restaurants bit that's common in Venice I think 😉. Generally I recommend this place as I like quiet place to rest after all day walking around.

• Lawrence from United Kingdom – 10 May 2023 (7/10)

  fabulous location…..tucked away in a very quiet residential area, yet so close to all amenities. Initially we were amazed how quiet it was. Directions were good, but you need to have your wits about you, as the area is a bit of a warren of accomodations. Host met us there, the property is only a few minutes walk from main shopping area etc. Apartment is very spacious, with a (very) small patio which gets the evening sun.
  
  What could be improved: Small issue, but TV in bedroom very tricky to figure out, and we couldn't get any sound. Also, this bedroom TV is very small. (I suppose we could have/should have contacted the host) We only really wanted to have some music playing, so we just streamed from the phone. Not a big deal really, but given the price of the apartment, investing in a smart tv would be good. Also, we felt some of the facilities were bit "tired"….again, not a huge issue but if you wanted to eat in/cook, then you might struggle a bit maybe? There was no sort of welcome pack (fruit,water etc?), but some salt,pepper, oils etc in the cupboard. Biggest issue for us was the noise! At home we live in a very quiet cul de sac, so, yes, we are spoiled. However, on both nights we had seagulls starting at around 4am, with the pigeons(being fed from a balcony opposite!) also coo-ing from about 5 am…..oh, and I had to google it, but there seems to be a midwife toad living nearby, so expect a strange noise through the night too…..check it out on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVPK899UwV8..
  Finally, just as you thought things were settling down, and you were dropping off to sleep, the nearby church bells sounded at 7am both mornings. If you don't mind noise, then you're fine because the apartment is ideally placed to explore the city, just please be aware that this is what let us down at this apartment. Just trying to be fair and honest with these observations.

  It's really difficult to find the building, especially in the evening! However, it's in a very good location.

• Sally from United Kingdom – 30 September 2022 (8/10)

  What could be improved: nothing to dislike

• Helen from United Kingdom – 15 September 2022 (6/10)

  Good location near station. Ample room
  2 Bathrooms with queen bed upstairs.and couch bed downstairs. The apartment is functional. Good value for larger groups on budget.
  
  What could be improved: A bit lackluster. Very dated furniture thrown together. No coffee machine. The bath towels need replacing, very old and scratchy. No shower curtain in downstairs bathroom and tiles became very slippery.. Wouldn't recommend if looking for romantic or intimate setting

• Davide from Italy – 4 March 2023 (9/10)

  La casa spaziosa con le travi a vista, i due bagni, la vicinanza a supermercato e stazione.
  
  What could be improved: La gestione dei rifiuti, un po scomoda (bisogna andare a buttarli la mattina presto 6-8 su una barca nelle vicinanze). Ma d'altronde siamo a Venezia
