The best available hotels & places to stay near Venice

August 7, 2022 Marianna Hollaway

For centuries Venice has been defined by its otherworldly presence. Divided into six sestieri (districts), the city is split by the Grand Canal, snaking through Venice in a backwards “S” formation. Water here is a means of communication, connecting its parts as well as opening the city to the outside world. People move themselves and cargo by foot and boats of all types. A city of great contrasts, the strength and beauty of Venice are perpetually challenged by its great fragility – constant study, repair, resourcefulness, and vigilance maintain a very delicate balance here.

Stayed 4 nights in this gem of a hotel. The staff are super friendly and quick to help with restaurant suggestions or directions. The location is a 5 minute walk to St. Marks but you don't get the crowds or noise. Breakfast is served buffet style on a patio overlooking the garden. Just perfect. Can't wait to get back

Giacomo and Prosecco :-)

Reviewed By Ruth M

A great location near the station but tucked away in a quiet spot. We arrived early, and Giacomo greeted us with a warm smile and two large glasses of wine. He then gave us a number of great recommendations for exploring Venice, both areas and restaurants. Our room was fine with a comfortable bed. House keeping was great too, if a bit too enthusiastic..... Breakfast was really good, including Prosecco. We are guessing this was due to it being Easter Sunday although it was my birthday! Definitely recommend.

Reviewed By alshin

Just checked out of the hotel and I would wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to whoever wants to stay in luxury hotel in Venice but do not want sticker shock. I was pleasantly surprised at the level of service at this hotel and its location. Rooms are old school, but kept clean. Breakfast everyday overlooking Grand Canal was a great way to start enjoying this magical city! Someone mentioned Danielli; I stayed there too, but for the money that I paid, I had just as good stay here or even better.

Stay Here or at least come by for a drink

Reviewed By antart888

Loved this hotel for the location and rooftop bar. Room was lovely - request a view-soundproof and contemporary. Housekeeping service on point and the breakfast was everything you needed. The service at breakfast was so friendly and they were on top of your every need. The front desk was great for check in- some people were better than others. One lady really seemed bothered by questions and all replies were to look online. However, the rooftop bar just had the best view and vibes. We made a point to have a drink there almost every night. Bartenders and servers were so fun and made exceptional drinks. Such a great experience! We will be back. Oh and most importantly THE LOCATION!!!! It’s in the pulse.

Disappointed

Reviewed By travelbug32Scotland

Little bit disappointed with this hotel as we'd read some positive reviews. Husband booked this as a birthday treat. Check in was swift and the girl on the desk was helpful and informative. Kind of went downhill after that. Room was on the 3rd floor, fine, was clearly a budget room. Tiny little window and a view of a crumbling building next to it, so not a great view or any kind of view. There was air conditioning in room 316 but it was a bit of a fight to get them to turn it on. As has been said before, you either roast to death with the window closed or you leave it open and are eaten to death by mosquitoes. They were in no rush to turn it on even when it was about 28 degrees outside. Bathroom, please be careful here. If you get up in the middle of the night half asleep be aware of the step up into the bathroom it's about 4 inches high, you'll either just stub your toe or fall face first onto the tiled floor. Shower, this was a joke! i've been in bigger phone boxes. Don't try and take all your usual bottles etc in there with you....there's not room. If like me,a bit on the chunky side, you're going to struggle,the doors on the cubicle just will not close. If you're claustrophobic don't even attempt it! We ended up showering with the doors open and the fabric/cloth things they leave you all over the floor. We did bring this up with reception who just shrugged 'nothing we can do about it'. Bed, yes it was 2 singles put together and yes it was a firm mattress but not uncomfortably firm. Breakfast was just your average self service buffet,nothing outstanding to be honest. We did try the rooftop bar for a drink and it was nice. We flew home Thursday 26th May so were up and about early for breakfast. Went down to find the breakfast room in darkness. Everybody seemed to be eating in the bar area for some reason. So we stood and waited for someone to come over to take our room number as we had done past 2 mornings and were totally ignored by the waiting staff. Wen
