The hotel staff was incredible. Don't expect a typical hotel. There is a common room with bedrooms around the perimeter. There is no pool or view. I'm not sure about handicap access. We had to walk up stairs to get to the lobby. I never saw an elevator. Also, if I were a child or teen, I probably would not enjoy the Ca'Bauta.
I would highly recommend it to adults who want a nice place to stay but aren't too concerned about the amenities. We were rarely there except to sleep.
Unless you have only one or two pieces of luggage you should plan on taking a water taxi to the hotel. We had several pieces and it costs us 50 Euro for the taxi. We talked them down from 75 Euro.
The walk to St. Mark's Square was about 15 minutes. Plan to walk everywhere! Oh yeah, get a multi-day bus pass. It was about 18 Euro's and you can go everywhere, including the islands. One more tip.... You will be offered a free boat ride to Murano Island to see the glass factories. Do it! Just make sure you have your bus pass before you go. They don't bring you back. If you don't have a pass it will cost you several Euro to get back.
We paid around 175 Euro's per night which is what we had planned to pay at the other hotel.
