Hotel Kette

Comfortable 4 star

Stayed for 3 nights at the hotel kette on at the end of a ski holiday to cortina d'ampezzo.
Left all our ski gear in the left luggage room at Marco Polo Airport and took a very cold trip across the lagoon on the Alilaguna shuttle service.
I would describe the Kette as a minor 4 star hotel(just scraped through from 3 star status).
We did stay in a suite(Kath's birthday)which was very comfortable but the view from our bedroom window was another window across a narrow canal. All that said, the hotel was clean and well managed. There is a stunning marble floor in the reception area and they do have a porterage service and lift. The bar was small but functional.
Nothing out of the ordinary

Best hotel experience!

We stayed at Hotel Kette for 4 nights last July. The hotel has traditional Venetian decor. Don't be fooled by its modest exterior -- this hotel was fabulous! Our room was spacious (which is a uncommon in Europe) and overlooked a small canal. Breakfast was included with our stay with a very nice spread of a continental breakfast and Italian espresso. It was a great start to our day. The staff was most helpful and accommodating. It is right off Via XXII Marzo, a major street lined with top designer stores and a quick 5 min walk to Piazza San Marco.

Just around the corner

Don't go there

For a four-star hotel, the rooms are not especially wonderful. Someone messed up and reserved a "matrimonio" for me and my teenaged daughter. I said it wasn't acceptable. Although the man in charge said he would change it, the change came with a snotty remark that "You are going to get a lot less than you paid for." After
a call to the wholesale agent in Italy, they gave us the room with 2 beds but with an upgrade.

I am laughing at the two comments where they warn people not to bring in food from the outside. In my case, I was publicly chastized for trying to leave the breakfast buffet with ONE slice of cheese and ONE apple because my daughter didn't feel well enough to leave the room that morning. The waiter yelled at us publicly.

They really should work on their public relations skills. A few times some of them were nice about directions or restaurant recommendations on the other side of the Canal. The hotel is removed from the crowds but near San Marco which is unbearable in the summer due to heat and other visitors who are taking pictures of pigeons.
But the neighborhood itself has really gauche shops like Gucci and Prada so that their is little of local flavor about it.

Unique Quality: One side of the hotel has a view of a tiny canal. The other side faces a building. There is a computer for use.
The breakfast was very nice except when the waiter went nuts on me for smuggling out the cheese and apple.
It makes me laugh even more because they have a bar and clearly have no problem bringing liquor for sale up to your room!

Best Location - for shopping and San Marco

Well, first of all, you cant bring food inside - or dont let them see you bring food inside or they will ask you to pay for any carpet or furniture damages... Other than that, housekeeping staff are very friendly. Best location - 2 mins walk to San Marco, the boat and the shopping area!!! yehey!!... Free breakfast included in your meals.

Dont forget to tip the bellman - I was told that 15Euro is the average tip at 5Euro per luggage - Ouch...

Unique Quality: Upon entry to the room, (good for 3 people) there is a fold a sofa which can serve as an extra bed... then, a door leads to the bedroom.

• Opinion of Price: more expensive than average

Hotel Kette

Lit. 220000-350000 for a single. But check for special offers.

Unique Quality: Probably the best thing is the location. Otherwise, this is a comfortable but not exceptional place, with the usual four-star amenities - minibar, air conditioning, etc. Unusually for Italy, they have non-smoking rooms. Not so unusual is the fact that some of the rooms have no view... so make sure you ask when making your reservation.
