Hotel Becher

This is a great place. The staff are wonderful. Marco helped with transfers, restaurants and recommendations. A water taxi takes you to the hotel’s private jetty on a quiet small canal. Lose to all the main attractions. Marco was so very attentive and is a great host. Francesca and Asim were very kind to us as a family with suggestions for day trips and a welcoming coffee when needed! The breakfast staff & housekeepers are very pleasant and helpful. The hotel is old, which is typical, but clean and comfortable. Venice is an ancient city! Highly recommended!

Hotel Becher helped set up private water taxi from and back to train station on arrival and departure. Our room was not ready the way I had requested (2 single beds) but the desk manager provided a complimentary glass of Prosecco while we waited for it to be prepared and then upgraded our room for us for the remainder of the stay. The breakfast room was cozy and had a tasty assortment of breakfast foods to help us start our day of exploring. The staff were all friendly and ready to help us with our plans for the day. We met a couple who have been there 3 times now and I can see why. While the hotel is in need of a facelift (I’m not sure of the exact age of the building), our room was clean and the beds were comfortable! (My understanding is that they will be doing renovations over the winter in preparation for next year.) The location was perfect for St. Mark’s Square and the Doge’s Palace as well as other sights. I would definitely consider staying at Hotel Becher again. I’ve given a rating of 9/10 or 4.5/5 only because it is an older establishment and in need of a little TLC.

It was a first class experience. The water taxi and gondolas pick you up from a dock right off the lobby. The staff from the moment I first spoke to them was anxious to help and were accurate answering every question I had posed to them. They gave me detailed travel information for me to travel by train from the cruise port over 2 hours away. When we were walking with our baggage through the streets of Venice we thought possibly we were lost, calling the hotel, they told me to photograph where we were. Immediately they sent Marco from the front desk. He carried our bags and led us to our hotel. He checked us in and walked us to a fantastic restaurant and booked a gondola ride with musicians that picked us up right from the lobby. It was fantastic. We left the next morning for the Marco Polo airport. Marco suggested a water taxi to the airport. He arranged it and they were there at 6:45 as promised. It was like a luxury limo on the water. He cruised us to the airports own dock, where an attendant took our bags and us to the airline check in. This Marco was the highlight of our trip. Always with a smile and an efficient air about him. This hotel was a Venetian palace, it is beyond words. The breakfast before our departure was the best breakfast of our 16 day vacation. I look forward to recommending friends to Hotel BECHER.

Incredible location, 5 minutes away from the St. Mark's Square. Very safe neighborhood and the hotel has a dock for taxi which in itself is enough for us to book it due to the convenience, although water bus stop is 5 minutes away so that is a great option too. Rooms are small, cozy and soundproof and if you get a room with a view of the water you will watch the gondoliers pass by all the time which is amazing! Staff is very nice, polite and helpful and the breakfast is small, but just what we needed before heading out to explore the Venice. We are looking forward to booking this hotel again in the future.

We loved the boutique hotel feel, made us feel like family! We highly enjoyed our stay and especially our nights with a bottle of wine, sitting right next to the canal. Marco was amazing and so caring. He looked after us at night and even gave us some snacks to go with our wine. We stayed here on our honeymoon and it was exactly what we needed. So romantic! We can’t wait to come back again!
