In addition to the hotel being perfect, it was for us in the perfect location. Quiet but still an easy walk to other areas in Venice. We won't search for a hotel next time we visit venice, we'll stay at the American Dinesen.

Lovely little hotel and even though the rooms are very standard small European style and the bathrooms were incredibly small. Everything was very nice and nicely appointed. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was very welcoming. I actually like the location being a little bit off the beaten path so we were not in the heart of all of the tourist pedestrian traffic

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The pros: quiet location near Accademia bridge, clean and modern facilities, excellent buffet breakfast, friendly staff. The cons: we got a superior canal-facing room and it was tiny. I mean tiny, even compared to Italian standards. There was no place to even put our luggage — we had to store luggage underneath the bed. Also, the layout of the room wasn’t ideal. There was a strange step/raised area in the middle of the room with a safety light on either side. The lights were so bright we had to put books in front of them in order to sleep.

Hotel American was about a 15 minute walk from the busy part of Venice and a welcome oasis from all the crowds. Our room was so comfortable and had a sweet balcony overlooking the canal. The breakfast buffet was a delicious way to start the day. The best part was the hotel staff; they were so attentive and helpful and made us feel so welcome. They even made dinner reservations for us before our arrival in Venice. Highly recommend this wonderful hotel!

Lovely hotel with an excellent staff. Everyone was very accommodating. Good restaurants nearby even though it's not in the heart of Venice, and very convenient to the water bus at the Accademia stop. You can also get a water taxi to come right to the hotel which we should have taken advantage of when we came in on the train. The room, like many European hotel rooms, was very small. And the refrigerator wasn't working properly. But the hotel is beautiful, the area is so peaceful, and we would happily stay here again and just might! Venice turned out to be a lovely surprise for us and ended up being our favorite city we visited over our two week trip.

The staff, service, cleanness was excellent. Made our stay in Venice even better. The owner is very hands on and present on site. Which my opinion makes everything more organized. My daughter left her passport in the safe and we had to retrieve it after we were already in Milan. We had to drive back to Venice. The passport and euros were there, which displays honesty. Can’t get better than that! If you are sensitive to noise I would suggest staying on higher floor. The 2nd floor you can hear a little kitchen noise, nothing a sound soother wouldn’t take care of. This place is great, I would highly recommend.

Lovely Hotel in Quiet N'borhood w/some info issues

The hotel property is lovely and very well located 5-10 min walk from Accademia Bridge, 2 grocery stores: a small (but very well stocked) market and a larger supermarket, as well as to the Peggy Guggenheim museum and the Basilica Santa Maria della Salute. The hotel was also incredibly clean -- one of the cleanest I've been in in the past 4 years! My room was beautiful with padded, fabric-lined walls, a comfy bed, a small minibar (with drinks and some room for you to store cheese, yogurt, etc.) There is an in-house bar onsite which also serves breakfast, although I was not aware of this until the day I checked out. I checked the Hotels.com website and sure enough, breakfast buffet (for a surcharge) and a snack/deli counter. It would have been nice to know that. This was my main issue with my entire stay which was over 1 week: there was not any written hotel information packet in the room nor through the TV (that I could find). Even the laundry information was placed on a second tier shelf in the mini-bar closet which was 4 inches over my head and I could not see it. After asking for laundry information at the front desk, I was told it was in the room so I did a more thorough search and happened to reach up to that shelf and found the price sheet and plastic laundry bag. I also had an issue with the room being cold on the first day and the front desk clerk insisted it was my fault that I did not set the temp right. Porter came up and found it was offOFF.
