We stayed in room #9, which fit our family of 4. The kids each got their own beds on the sides, and we had ours in the middle. The hotel is a small boutique style, not a chain. Our room was clean and serviceable, used mostly as a base to return to at night to sleep. The A/C doesn’t crank to American levels of coolness, but it took the edge off and the humidity out well enough to sleep comfortably even on the hottest days this summer. The staff was where the hotel shines - everyone is super friendly and helpful, giving us a quick rundown to set expectations during check-in and helped us understand their unique operations. (You leave your keycard at the front desk, which is manned 24 hours a day, they know all the guests and it provides security from stolen key cards and non-guests wandering in.) There was no in-room safe, but the lack of random hotel traffic provided us with a sense of security. There was a small fridge in the room that we were able to use to cool our water from the nearby grocery. (It cost less than 2€ for a 6 pack of water bottles!)
The prime location cannot be understated, putting you right at the heart of the popular attractions and many dining and entertainment options. It’s not a quiet area, but the walls are thick enough that the rooms facing the inner courtyard remain peaceful.
We loved Venice, enjoyed our stay at Bridge Hotel, and look forward to returning to both!
