Hotel Heureka

We had a wonderful stay at hotel Heureka. It is an old building with high ceilings and other cool features carefully and beautifully renovated and decorated. It is in Canneraggio away from the hustle and bustle of central Venice. It is an oasis of peace and refinement. You have to walk a little further to get to the city center but there is a lovely restaurant district nearby. The best part was meeting the hotel and kitchen managers especially Marco and Beata. They were so attentive helpful and kind and their recommendations and tips made our trip. I highly recommend Heureka and hope to go back myself one day.

Absolutely beautiful boutique hotel away from the hordes of tourists. It was like staying in your rich friends’ palazzo. The service was warm and helpful, and there were many common spaces to use. Zero negative comments about the facilities or staff. There were many lively restaurants and bars nearby. It is a fun area to stay in, particularly in the evenings. I would say the location and hotel are better suited for visitors who have either been to Venice before or those who want to visit at a leisurely pace. The days that we did many tourist attractions we logged over 20,000 steps. It’s a 25-30 minute walk from San Marco plaza and Dorsoduro. We were busy walking back and forth and didn’t make full use of the hotel - an extra day to relax and enjoy would have been nice.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Arrived late and received a warm welcome. The vibe is cool but not at all pretentious. The aesthetic throughout the building, an old palazzo, combines the features of the palazzo, exposed brick for example, tastefully with modern necessities. The staff were wonderful, the night porter was a gentleman, the highlight though was the kitchen staff, Beata and Sonya. Really lovely, sincere and the breakfast was top class. The location is good; plenty of bars and restaurants nearby in Cannaregio, spent Saturday night in the area, plenty of life around the place but not too late. Really enjoyable to wander towards St. Mark's from the hotel.

A magnificent boutique hotel off the noisy byways of Venice. This hidden gem is easily accessible by water taxi from the airport and provide a jumping off point that makes it easy to get to the popular spots in Venice without being in the midst of the crowds. The staff was amazingly attentive and exceeded our expectations in every way. Even the night manager made me a coffee before we headed out on our 4 a.m. water taxi. The weather was not ideal, but when it is, I expect the courtyard to be a tranquil oasis for guests and a nice retreat when you need a break. The interior decorations are luscious and comfortable. You really need to see it to understand. Breakfast was more than ample and the staff did everything they could to make your time at the Hotel Heureka a memorable one.

This is how to do a boutique hotel. Every square inch of this magnificent re-invented palatial town house on a peaceful canal in Cannaregio has been thought through carefully and lovingly. It really is perfect but also interesting and cosy. Also all of the staff are attentive and welcoming while allowing you to be private and enjoy the house as if it is your own (for the short time you’re there!)

Hotel Heureka promised a luxurious Venetian experience and did not disappoint. The hotel itself is beautifully and stylishly decorated, with quality furnishings. The layout of the hotel and atmosphere made for a really calming and peaceful experience. The breakfasts were generously portioned too. But what made the whole experience 5 star were the members of staff who couldn't do enough for me, from before arrival, all the way through to departure: they were friendly, accommodating, and generous. Thank you for making my holiday so enjoyable.

Where do I begin. Just back from a surprise birthday trip, as a couple staying in the magnificent hotel. The rooms are just beautiful. Little did I know that my children were also staying and the amazing staff had to shield them from being seen for a couple of days before the reveal! It is the staff here that made this the most wonderful experience for us. They went above and beyond. Special mention the the lovely Bertha, who arranged breakfast and kept everyone apart. The breakfast when we were all united was fit for a queen. The whole room was so beautiful. Bertha you are fantastic! Thank you. Housekeeping, you are amazing ladies, our room was kept spotless, we thank you. Franco, sorted everything , concierge extraordinaire! Thank you, one and all. What a privilege to have stayed in this hotel.

This was our third stay at this hotel and I wouldn’t choose anywhere else in Venice. It’s a tranquil haven from the frenetic throngs of tourists. The decor is stylish, the rooms beautifully presented and the service is impeccable. Very close to a choice of lovely restaurants in Fondamenta Misericordia.

We were staying in the bustling centre (in the usual overpriced rathole) and had a meeting with row Venice who suggested popping in for a coffee while we waited. What a eureka moment indeed: the perfectly select bar, the perfect breakfast, but most of all your own palazzo in a quiet nook 3 turns off the crush and bustle of the crowds. It took all of thirty seconds for us to decide to ditch the rathole (Foresteria Levi- they kept our money) and for a few euros more stay in the loveliest place we’ve been in Italy. Absolute kudos to the staff who were attentive without being obsequious, and owners who have resisted the temptation to cash in.
