Ca Sagredo

Phenomenal Venetian palace utilised as a hotel with a choice of rooms. We stayed in a junior Segrado suite, the room itself was decorated in traditional Venetian attire, and was well presented, comfortable bed and good cleanliness. Undoubtedly the highlight of the room though was the rooftop terrace accessed through stairs within the room, and provided views of the Grand Canal, and Venice by roof, absolutely wonderful. Only improvement for the room could be tea and coffee facilities, however you could always get hot water and cups from the restaurant/bar staff The hotel itself exudes Venetian character and wonderfully stately but yet unpretentious ambience. There are many communal rooms with fantastic decorative pieces aligning the ceilings and walls. The breakfast was good, and the waiters were all very helpful. The staff were of an exceptionally high calibre, very welcoming, no request too much, a special mention to Michael the night porter/front desk gentlemen who helped provide concierge services to us, recommended and booked some of our dinners for us as well as made recommendations on where to go during the day, a real shining star of the Ca???Sagredo team. Positioned on the grand Canal and almost centrally in Venice it is well situated for exploring the landmarks, side streets and reaching the public transport for exploring over islands. Overall a 5* rated experience, we would definitely stay again.

This hotel's location is superb with St Mark's and the Rialto within easy walking distance. We were given a friendly welcome by the staff and only here for 1 night before flying on to our next destination. The promotional video and photos on the website led us to believe this was one swish and luxurious place. As a result, we were somewhat disappointed by what awaited us. Compared with other hotels we've stayed in, it didn't feel 5 star to us. We were on the 4th floor. The lift to the top was broken, so we could only go to the 3rd. A porter kindly took our luggage and we walked up the stairs to our room. A hotel staff member accompanied us. However, I did wonder what an elderly person would have done. And we walked past a lot of boxes piled up with all sorts of hotel supplies. It felt like being in a warehouse. Our room was fine, if you like the Venetian style of overly gold-gilted furniture, which I don't personally. Charmingly, a door opened out onto a tiny rooftop patio. If you peered over the wall, you had a fabulous view of Venice. Again, in a 5-star hotel it would have been nice to have had 2 chairs here to watch the sunset, but there was nothing. We ate out after walking around the town and returned later, hoping to sit on the much-featured rooftop terrace and perhaps have a drink. But all we found were lots of tables with empty glasses and dirty plates (in a 5-star hotel) and nobody in sight. So we went downstairs to the canalside bar instead. The staff here was friendly too and the Negronis were great. But again, neither the chairs nor seat cushions were very comfy, so I wouldn???t have wanted to linger too long. And the height of the balcony boxes meant you didn't have a clear view of the canal either. All of these things are first world problems, I'm aware of that. But if asked whether the steep price of 300 euros a night was worth it, I'd say no. Compared with a place like the 5-star Louis C. Jacob in Hamburg, the Ca Sagredo is worlds apart.

Had a lovely couple of days in Venice staying at the Ca??? Sagredo Hotel. Fantastic historical building housing a boutique friendly hotel in a good location on the canal. We were made to feel very welcome and the room was very comfortable and quiet. Breakfast selection was good and dinner in the hotel excellent. Would definitely return.
