We stayed at the Casa Querini for 4 nights, having chosen it because it was the closest and cheapest hotel to San Marco in the Thomson Lakes and Mountains brochure.
The rep very helpfully offered to show us how to get there after we had been dropped of by the water-taxi at San Zaccaria. Thank goodness she did because the route took us down some tiny alleyways and I'm not sure we would have found it otherwise! That said, it only took us a day to get our bearings - you soon realise that the whole of Venice is a bit of a maze.
Casa Querini is a small 3 star guest house with only 11 rooms situated in two buildings on a small square. We were put in the second building, which has 5 rooms on the first floor, accessible only by a steepish flight of stairs. Our room was big (it would easily sleep 3 people) with a large bathroom as well - in fact from the floor plan you could see it was the biggest room in the building. The room was clean and nicely presented with red furnishings and exposed beams and was better than we had expected - just a few minor niggles such as no shower curtain and having the wardrobe in the bathroom (including a free safety deposit box).
A continental breakfast was included in the room price and could be taken outside in the square, in one of the 2 breakfast rooms or in your room. It was particularly nice to be able to eat outside in the square - a great start to the day. The initial portions we were given were not large but you could get second helpings in the breakfast room off reception. We were able to arrange to have breakfast early on our last day as we had a 7:30am departure.
All in all, this is a great little place to stay and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone though I expect the stairs might be too much for some people with mobility difficulties (and there aren't any ground floor rooms).
