Comments: I was very pleased with the hostel and they gave us some great advice about where to eat that was cheap. They were also very helpful about telling us about concerts and informing us about vaporetto routes. Very reasonable priced accommodation for Venice. Thank you.

Comments: Lovely location, but it is closer to the train station rather than the rialto bridge and st Marco Square - they are an easy walking distance tho. It is hard to find and the man at reception was very moody to say the least. This place is a few hundred metres from Cafe Blue - the cheapest bar I have ever been to in Europe and the cocktails were the best.

Comments: I made a reservation for 2 nights. On arrival I was told I could only stay for 1 night and that I would be transfered to another hotel for the 2nd night because Al Gallo was overbooked. I was transfered to Hotel Isis which was HORRIBLE!!!! It was very ugly with old furniture and very unfriendly staff. I paid good money for Al Gallo because it had character, I was transfered to a dump. I am very upset with Al Gallo staff.

Comments: We enjoyed our stay here. It is hard to find but it's a good location. We thought breakfast was included however when we got there it wasn't. The owner is padantic about everything but he's OK to get along with. The rooms are cleaned every day and there's airconditioning and a fridge in the room. Good value for money!

Comments: Everything was ok, simply breakfast was not included, when in the web site says it does. Last day we wanted to leave early, and we couldn´t because there was nobody from the staff to do the check out.

Comments: The hotel was in a good location, but the person running the hotel did not treat us with respect. We got a big discount online, but the list price is much too high.

Comments: The Al Gallo we were directed to fitted the description given (ten minutes walk from the station) but not the address or the map, unless you are referring to Christ who could walk on water. This confusion caused us a lot of problems. However the Al Gallo we eventually found was so wonderful we gave the owner a bottle of wine in appreciation.

Comments: Hotel is great and the owner as well. Because location is incorrectly marked on the trav website we had to call the owner and he picked us up from piazza le roma. Have a look on this page if you want to find the hotel easily:http://www.algallo.com/where.html. Its not on Guidecca! Holet itself is very quite and have lots of character! its not fare from bus stop and very very clean. We had a great time!

Comments: We loved this great little hotel. It´s tucked away in a quiet little spot but very easy to get to all of the great sights of Venice. Safe, extra clean, shared bath was spotless, new and never a problem. Charming Venetian decor. Simple breakfast. (we opted to skip it and go to some of the great local cafes) A terrific bargain. Highly recommended.
