Stayed at dominain may 2007 for 3 nights and im definitely not going back there.
First of all if you do think your getting a good bargain then add 12euro per day per person to your room cost as its a boat ride away from the main city( its a separate island and only way to get to the main city is thru boat) and there isn't anything to do in this lisland.The room per say was ok itself but had loads of annoying factors.If you do book in there then beware of room 12 and 13 as they r 2 steps away from reception and bar which gets very noisy at night.
We stayed in room 12 and the shower was just horrible, the water kept shifting from boiling hot to chilly cold and had a strange yucky smell in it. Then on second night the AC vent started dripping water, when we complained we were told hotel is fully booked and were provided with a towel to place on the floor. The lady on the reception was very rude, rest of the staff was ok.
Also at night the big electrical switch board in our room started clicking and we didnt complain coz we knew they r not gonna do anything. it was just impossible to sleep with that clicking on ur head. As our flight was in the evening we asked if we could leave our bags there and were allowed to leave bags in the main lobby in front of entrance with half a dozen other bags. no1 would even ask if you take some1 elses luggage.
I loved venice but wont stay here next time.

We had a wonderful 4 night break at this hotel and really enjouyed our stay. The hotel is fairly basic but perfect for Venice because you won't be there much. Loveley room on the corner with canal views and a great complimentary breakfast included.
Location is fine and easily accessible by water bus. We arrived by water taxi initially and it may be difficult to find for the first time if you don't use this service which delivers you right to the door.
We would definitely stay again - excellent value

My boyfriend and I stayed here mid March. We arrived at 11pm and the receptionist could not have been more welcoming, she had a very good grasp of English too.

The hotel itself is situated in a residential area and is away from the main tourist spots. This was an advantage. The hotel looked relatively new with lovely clean facilities and fresh towels every day. Buffet breakfast was very good.

Water bus ticket is a must (25 euros for a two day ticket) so that you can travel the grande canal. The sights were amasing along the way. It is only 10 minutes on the water bus to the St Marco Square where everyone seems to head.

Venice itself was truely wonderful, lots of little cafe's and eateries. Would highly recommend the fresh fish market, amasing. Venice is very quiet at night, very little to do.

Would definately go back to Venice and would certainly stay at the Domina, perfect location, very friendly staff and good breakfast to start your day on. The only piece of advice I might give is to try to
book a second floor room as the ground floor rooms are partially below ground and not so well laid out.

Take comfortable shoes with you as you will do a lot of walking!!

Giudecca is a good (although somewhat remote) base to explore Venice. There are two or three good restaurants near the hotel. We liked especially the "Redentore" next to the vaporetto stop bearing the same name. Rooms in the hotels are small (this is Venice...) but comfortable and very clean. If you want to go to a nice-tasty restaurant across the Laguna, we recommend "la Piscina". This is more expensive, though. From the Palacanca Vaporetto stop, take the 82 Vaporetto and get off at the (next) "Zattere" stop.

Coming from the train or bus stations, it is preferable to take the 82 or 42 vaporettos (as opposed to the combination of 1 and 42 referred in another review. You will save 30 minutes).
