Good choice
We stayed at Hotel Antico Doge for a total of five nights in May, 2008. Before we arrived I was nervous about the location because I was afraid it was too far from St. Marks Square, but, indeed, we loved the location, found the ten minute walk quite nice and were happy to be in the area of the hotel where we found several very nice places to eat. The front desk went out of their way to accommodate our wishes and needs! Each one of them was friendly and the desk is manned 24-7. They helped with water taxi reservations, were knowledgeable about Venice and were eager to make restaurant reservations for us. We had a suite for the first four nights, went to Florence for five days and came back to spend one final night at Antico Dodge before flying to London. When we made made that final night reservation, we were told that the suite was not available, but when we returned, a suite had opened up--we got the suite but were told we would only be paying the standard room rate! We would certainly stay here again.!
