Check rates for Antico Panada
Ad · affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you book through these links. It never changes the price you pay, and it never changes our verdict. How this works
No nightly price is quoted anywhere on this page: we hold no live rate for this property, and a rate printed into a static page is wrong within hours. These links open each partner’s own Venicehotel search — search for “Antico Panada” when you land. We link to the search rather than to a deep link because no per-property deep-link parameter has been verified for these programmes, and a link that quietly lands on the wrong hotel would be worse than one extra step. Trip.com is listed first because it is the partner we work with directly; if the property is not on it, Booking.com carries the widest inventory of the three. We may earn a commission from any of them, and that does not change what this page says about the hotel.
Booking direct? +39 041 520 9088 — we earn nothing from this one, and direct rates sometimes include breakfast or free cancellation that an aggregated rate does not.

The verdict
Only if San Marco proximity is the entire product — the 7.1 headline, 6.43 cleanliness score and poor room quality cons are explicit, and we have no POI kilometre table to verify distances.
This seed has no POI distance rows for Antico Panada, so we do not invent kilometre claims to Piazza San Marco or Rialto. Location still scores 8.94 out of 10 in the guest analysis, with excellent location close to San Marco named in the summary — without a pin table we can cite.
The supplier rating is 7.1 out of 10 from 7,032 reviews, captured 12 December 2025 — the lowest headline in this Venice sample. Cleanliness 6.43 and room quality 6.39 are the weak categories, with old beds, poor cleanliness and small old rooms named. Food and beverage scores 5.93 with lacking variety and freshness named.
Facilities are basic: restaurant, bar, soundproof rooms and family rooms are listed — no terrace, spa or fitness centre in the filtered amenity facts. Amenities score 6.92 with no kettle and poor pillows noted.
Check-in is from 02:00 PM until midnight; check-out is 11:00 AM. Chain: none recorded.
Best for
- Travellers who prioritise San Marco proximity in guest prose over headline scores
- Anyone comparing the weakest Venice sample here against Casa Sant’Andrea’s 8.1
- Guests who will eat out and treat the hotel as a sleep pin only
Not for
- Anyone who needs verified landmark kilometre pins — there are no POI rows in the ingest
- Guests who will not risk poor cleanliness — explicitly named
- Breakfast seekers — food and beverage scores 5.93 with variety and freshness complaints

This is an aggregate of published guest reviews from other booking sites, not a TravelShifu rating. We do not average it with anything, and we never restate it as structured data — Google’s review-snippet guidance says not to aggregate ratings from other websites, and every score we hold is somebody else’s.
