Locanda Conterie - Murano

The hotel was clean and attractive. Unfortunately the location is something to be desired. It is on the island of Murano which is an expensive water bus ride away from Venice. The water buses stop running from most stops on Venice to Murano at around 9pm, which means you must somehow get to the Fondamente nuove stop in order to get back to the hotel at all. Also, there is no 24 hour reception. The doors to the hotel lock at midnight, and they provide you with a gigantic key to open the front door. Unfortunately our key didn't work, so make sure you double check that yours does. We tried unsuccessfully for nearly 30 minutes until we broke down into tears and by knocking loudly on the door were able to wake up an unfortunate woman on the second floor who let us in. This hotel is not for young people, or those people who wish to stay out past 10pm at night.

Staying on Murano was great. It was not crowded, especially after people visiting from Venice went back for the day. That being said, much did close when the last boat left for Venice. The hotel itself is really cute, but could use some improvements. The deck sitting areas really were not cleaned or kept up when we were there. The breakfast is really basic, but enough if you go to the grocery, which is close, to get fruit. Our room was a basic room, but we were in the attic, and would not be good for anyone who was tall, as the room was very short. The bathroom was out in the hall, which I knew beforehand, but it was really small, and very hot. Also, there was a huge wet mark that continued to grow and smell like mildew as we stayed, it was disgusting! When we went to check out, there was no one at the front desk, so we had to leave our keys in the room.

The hotel was beautiful in a nice tucked away neighborhood. It was a fair walk to the public boat system and the shower tended to leak into the room. Mostly a comfortable stay. Staff was hard to find since the front desk was sporadically attended. Did not like that the front door of the hotel remained open late into the night.

Our room was small and "cozy", but the people were friendly. Remember that many european hotels have much smaller rooms and bathrooms than what a traveler from the USA may be accustomed to. The location is not really in the tourist district, but it is great if you want to get a feel for normal everyday life in Murano. The staff were kind, and we did not experience any problems.

The hotel was very nice. It was however, very hard to find. Our room was very comfortable and the bathroom was gigantic. We were put in another area away from the original hotel that they own, so our bathroom was bigger than our friends was. The only drawback was we didn't have a phone in our room so we couldn't communicate with our friends who were in the other part of the hotel. The breakfast is not very good at all.

Great location, 5 minutes walk from transport and 15 min boat ride to central venice. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful who spoke excellent english. Breakfast was very limted but met our needs of a coffee fix which is very expensive in Italy.

This hotel is suitable if you want a comfortable, quiet base for sightseeing. There are no facilities in the hotel other than your own adequate room. It suits me to get away from the hustle and bustle of Venice and return to the peace and quiet of Murano. Unfortunately there is very little open in the evenings in February so we were without an evening meal on the night that we didn't eat in Venice. The vaporetto and the alilaguna (airport water bus) are just a short walk away. The staff are very helpful and friendly, breakfast is a very basic continental self service on the roof terrace.

Wonderfullly clean hotel. People are very kind and helpful and speak enough english so that there were no problems. Our room on the first night had no heat and it was really cold. Breakfast is awful and the beds are a little hard but we would probably stay there again.

Lovely hotel, 4 boat stops away from Venice. The rooms are very small by American standards. The bathrooms are shower only with minimal space for mobility. Decor is classic with European flair. The room has a small television with Italian-only channels; a mini bar and handmade glass chandeliers. The breakfast is composed of small pastries, cereal coffee and juice. I was particularly fond of their cappuccino machine. Lots of fun and great flavor. The neighborhood has lots of shops to learn and shop for Murano glass products

This hotel was the least expensive on our 5-city tour of Italy, but it was the most worth the money! It is a charming little hotel on the island of Murano (just a short vaporetto ride to Venice proper). The street is very quite and it is very close to several glass factories and the Murano glass museum (do go if you have the chance - it's fascinating!). The breakfast is a typical continental, but they do have machines where you can make an espresso, cappuccino and hot chocolate (the hot chocolate was very good) which was different from all the other hotels we stayed in. We were charmed by the beauty of our room (even if the shower was fairly small) and loved the added touch of Murano glass chandeliers all over the hotel. We would definitely stay here again if we were ever in Venice again.

The Locanda Conterie is great for the money, however the room did have a mildew smell. Also the bathroom is not for a large individual. The hotel is located on Murano, which is not Venice proper. For those like myself that know Venice this is not a problem. For those new to Venice it is out of the way. The vaparetto and the Grand Canal of Murano was a short ten minute walk and the Airport red boat makes Museo the first stop.

A nice hotel on one of the smaller islands but waterbus links to the main island are good (take the DM or 42 from the station). We we there in novmber and Murano was very quiet, we only found one restaurant open each night (but it was a different restaurant each night). There is a supermarket near the waterbus stop.

Despite requesting a hotel near the station we were sent to this hotel miles from anywhere which meant speding an extra 100 eurso on fares. The hote is a 60 euro taxi ride from the station!!!

we stayed for a week in november 08 had a lovely time. hotel clean, friendly, helpful and comfortable. alot cheaper than venice but you feel you on venice as water transport is taken anywhere. our other option for our budget would;ve been Mestre on the mainland, this would've been very disappointing as totally not atmosphere of venice but Murano certainly is. not much to do at night but DM route operates all night so no problems.

As other reviews noted the location limited any activity in the evenings and when the public water buses went on strike it caused us a major problem in getting back to Murano. There was also a musty smell in the room though not really bad. For the price it was an ok option.

If you're going to Venice to see the Murano glass and chill in the hotel all day this hotel is perfect. If you plan to go to Venizia island and see San Marco Basilica everyday, not the best hotel. It took 45min and sometimes an hour by water bus to get to and from the city centre. The boat water ride was ridiculously long. And the boats stop at 20:00 some places and 23:00 others. Just decide what you're going to Venice for, relaxation or sightseeing. If its sightseeing you might want to pick a different hotel... The continental breakfast was pretty good packaged croissants, toast, and cereal.

Our room was totally unacceptable. It was the size of a closet in the attic. I'm sure that the rest of the hotel is better, however they were not accomodating to us as to offering us another room. It was on the third floor with no elevator so we had to lug our luggage up all of these stairs, then stay in a room with no window. Not recommended for people who are clostrophobic.

Wonderful little place on the Island of Murano. So romantic. Locals are very friendly.

First room assigned was an attic space with a sky light no window. Very well appointed but still an attic. Second room assigned was perfect for price. Only other comments was overspray for insects- smell. One of hotel managers was very helpful the other was horrible.

We chose this hotel because it offered a cost effective base for a couple of nights in Venice. The hotel is in good condition and Murano is a beautiful Island with very nice welcoming people. There were a couple of issues with our room which did let our stay down 1. the air conditioning was leaking for the whole stay and made the room smell very damp. I reported it to the reception only to be told that the smell was 'wine' with the implication I had spilt wine on the floor! A towel was put down to soak up the water however this was inadequate and by the second night we ended up having to put cups downs to collect all the water. 2. the hairdryer didn't work. We paid for a superior room, which I have to say did not meet with my expectations. I'm sure for a cost effective solution this is a great hotel - but I think next time I will spend a little more money and stay somewhere else.

This was the first time we'd visited Venice in high summer, and we were so thankful for the efficient air-conditioning in our hotel room that we could retreat to when it all got too much. The room was in a separate annexe a short walk from the hotel, well decorated in typical venetian style with a Muranese chandelier, and a lovely spacious modern ensuite bathroom. The main hotel was well provided with a terrace area and an air-conditioned breakfast room, the staff were always helpful, the continental breakfast was adequate if not exciting. Murano was much less crowded than Venice too, and quieter. We would definitely recommend this hotel and hope to return there ourselves.

The directions given to arrive were not sufficient. The room was very small and the bed was not at all comfortable. My wife and I have minor allergies, but never in our lives have we had them act up as much as we did here! We both have issues with mold and we both had rather severe allergic reactions to the room, could be because it is covered with fabric, dusty and small. The island of Murano is a pretty nice place, however, once again they do not give you sufficient information about boats to get to and from the hotel. The breakfast was very poor and not nearly the quality I would expect for the price I paid. Very unfortunate, because we had very high expectations.

A nice hotel, not pretentious, but very comfortable. We liked the breakfast room, and the terrace would have been wonderful, had it stopped raining! A better map to find the hotel wouold have been useful. Staff polite and friendly, and all bookings completely by internet - without question.

Everything about this hotel was outstanding except for the location (if spending a lot of time in Venice). The staff was very helpful and friendly. The hotel is very nice inside and has 3 outside courtyards. It's in Murano, just off the mainland of Venice. It was hard to find places to eat, drink, etc in Murano after 3p-5p. They do not have glass blowing on the weekend!! The water taxis are difficult to figure out at first and can be expensive so factor that in prior to booking. A 24hr pass was about 21 euros each. Compared to Venice hotels it was still a great value.

The details in the location was that it could be seen from the vaportta stop. Yes it was able to be seen by air only, it was located in some back streets. The room was dark and due to the material finished walls had a strange smell which did improve with the window fully open. If in high season with the air conditioning runing I think it would be a real problem, either damp is behind the material or water from bathroom did not escape. Shower had to be held while showering, toilet seat needed to be replaced due to none cleaning. Morning self service breakfast consisted of inside seating of nine very cramped seating. Breakfast was ok if you got there early, as milk and table seating ran out before 8 am. Smoking area was avilable with extra tables but not laid out. Tables in smoking area was under cover but exposed to the elements on one side and during the rain cold wind expreinced during our stay not to be endured by the faint harted. As Murano is quite this time of the year all but two places after eight to by a drink the hotel offer a cheap bottle of wine five times the shop price available. Overhaul the place was full but I feel mainly due to internet booking with like us people expecting a three star but only experiencing a one star visit. Not again.

The Locanda Conterie is a wonderful hotel with a very quiet location, albeit off the beaten track a little. Friendly, helpful staff and beautifully appointed rooms. We will stay here again!

What a delight this hotel turned out to be, I had stayed in Venice the year before and didn't get a good nights sleep because of all the noise. On last years visit i had visited Murano and vowed to go back. I was surprised to find there was accomodation there and certainly at this standard. English speaking staff, very helpful, walking distance of good bars, cafes and restaurants. Don't stay here if you want more than croissants and excellent coffee in the delightful but basic self service breakfast area.

This is a great location if you don't want to stay amidst the tourist craziness of Venice. My husband and I are runners and we particularly enjoyed running around the island. Our hotel room was on the small side, but about what you expect from a European hotel. We had a huge, clean bathroom. But our air conditioner didn't work well. We liked the layout and decoration of the hotel.

This hotel is hidden in an alley amongst local residences so you avoid the tourist feel. The room was clean and the a/c worked great! The bathroom in particular the shower is very small!! Everything around the hotel closes by 8:00pm so do not plan on a night life or food or drinks beyond that time. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. It is a 10-15 minute ride by boat to get to the main areas in Venice. If you want to stay away from the busy areas, this would be the place.

Nice room for the money, but with no lift, third floor was inconvenient.

This is the second time I've stayed at this Murano hotel in a year. The breakfast is much better this time around with several items offered as well as various choices of coffee. The glass chandeliers in the rooms are exquisite and the staff very friendly and helpful. This time around they offered internet service with the purchase of a passwork and username. Out of the frenzy of the tourist ridden Venice this hotel allows you to come back to your room and refresh in quiet and take a few minutes to relax.

Rummet var ganska litet men fint med tygtapeter på väggarna och grova bjälkar i taken samt vackra lampor av Murano-glas. Badrummet var stort och fräscht. Hotellet ligger bra till, tyst och skönt efter en dag i Venedig, 5 minuters promenad till båtar som går ofta. Hotellets frukost är typiskt italiensk med kaffe/te och söta croissanter. Hotellets personal är glad och vänlig men inte så himla bra på engelska.

Veldig koselig hotell på rolige Murano. Frokosten var nesten ikke-eksisterende, så den anbefales å spise et annet sted. Gode muligheter til å komme seg til/fra Venezia, og hotellet anbefales.

hôtel très sympa, agréable, calme, propre, dans un endroit agréable. n'hésitez pas a réserver là bas vous ne serez pas déçu. ciao

La chambre était petite et la salle de bain minus. On ne pouvait pas y circuler à deux et l'accès à la douche très étroit. Petit déjeuner sommaire, pas de fruits ni de laitage.

Meine Freundinnen und ich waren 3 Tagen in diesem Hotel. Das Hotel, Zimmer und Bäder waren sehr sauber. Die Lage war super, denn wir waren den ganze Tag in Venedig und am Abend waren wir froh in diesem ruhige Insel zurückkommen und abschalten von den ganzen Trubel von Venedig. Leider das Frühstuck war sehr schlecht. Alles war verpackt, direct aus der Frabrik, und wir haben vermisst frisches Brot und frisches Wurst und Käse. Es war das erste Mal, dass wir solche "Fabrik-Frühstuck " in einem Hotel bekommen haben. Leider, denn das Hotel war toll!

Hotel agréable. Service tout à fait correct. Déjeuner moyen. Par contre, la chambre qui est proposée avec réduction est minuscule et la salle de bain est dans une pièce à part accessible par le couloir... pas franchement idéal, mais ok...

A szobák kellemesek, a személyzet kedves, készséges. A reggeli nagyon egyszerű, de van, és az ár-érték aránynak megfelelő. A kávéautomatából igazi tejhabos kávé folyik. A belső udvar rendkívül hangulatos. A szoba berendezése igényesebb volt mint amire számítottunk. Egyszer mindenképpen megéri kipróbálni. Olyanoknak ajánlom, akik laktak már Velencében és Murano hangulatára is kíváncsiak. Akik olcsó, de tiszta szállodai szobát keresnek, és nem egyéb luxus szolgáltatásokra vágynak.

Locanda Conterie is een klein hotelletje (26 kamers) met een vriendelijke eigenares en discreet personeel. Onze kamer was typisch venetiaans ingericht, het enige nadeel was dat onze badkamer een aparte kamer was, waardoor wij voor een douche de gang over moesten. Naar mijn weten was dit niet bij alle kamers het geval ( de meeste niet).

Rien à redire, c'était parfait!

L'albergo è nel complesso molto confortevole ed ha un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Tuttavia il portiere notturno non ha molto tatto nel parlare con i clienti. Dopo aver ricevuto un (giusto) richiamo alla quiete, io ed i miei amici ci siamo spostati al primo piano, nella zona adibita al consumo della colazione. Si tratta di una terrazza coperta da un gazebo ricoperto da celophan. Salendo per preparare i tavoli per la colazione del giorno dopo, il portiere ha esordito con le testuali parole: "se non la chiamano i vicini, la polizia la chiamo io". Considerando che ci eravamo spostati appositamente per evitare di arrecare disturbo, che pioveva ed il rumore delle goccie sul telo era piuttosto elevato (anche più della nostra voce) e che le porte di ingresso avevano i doppi vetri, la reazione è stata piuttoso eccessiva. Essere trattati da ospiti indesiderati e praticamente ignorati mentre gli si parlava è stato piuttosto indisponente, soprattutto avendo pagato in anticipo.

2ème séjour au Locanda Conterie . La 2ème fois, la chambre était plus spacieuse et la salle de bain plus grande.Chambre très confortable et propre.Personnel accueillant.Rien à dire sur la qualité du service.Simple petit déjeuner. A RECOMMANDER.
