Venice Hotels

Beautiful old hotel. small rooms, but efficient and comfortable for 2 people. Great decorative touches in the room. Our room had views of the grand canal, with windows that could've opened for a fresh breeze off the water. Breakfast included in the price of stay, and was delicious, with many options on the buffet, fresh made cappuccinos, and views of the water. Extremely easy access to vaporetto, minutes walk from San Marco and many restaurants and shops. Very friendly English speaking staff

A con for some: we had to climb 2 flights of stairs to our room even after taking the elevator, which was fine for us, but may be problematic or some; the elevator was tiny, which seems fairly standard for Italy, but good to know. In general recommend packing light, no matter where you stay as navigating over bridges in the city can be challenging with big bags!

Location, super nice staff, new rooms.

For the price we were expecting a better view on the room. On the contrary we were situated on a back building

The degree of engagement which respected our privacy needs. The location and comfort in heating, need for a quiet room and range of fresh foods at breakfast.

Very nice and fancy place

Nothing everything was excellent

extremely professional staff, wonderful room, amazing location, a simply extraordinary hotel

nothing

This is a superb hotel, in a cracking location, litterally a couple of minutes walk from St Mark's Square, and seconds from the airport water bus stop.. The room and public areas were lovely. We saw no evidence of the staff being unhelpful, quite the contrary, they were very efficient, friendly and welcoming. Recommended.

Nothing

Loved everything. Wasnt expecting how "posh" it would be. Worth the money. Good breakfast, powerful shower, clean and the view at breakfast.

The terrace at evening is only for booked sit down meals and we went at just gone 10pm for a drink as only a couple of tables were being used and even though the drinks would have cost use €20 they turned us away as meals only. Also I know its petty but the coffee at breakfast was cheap quality not nice at all for saying its Italy.

Hotel is situated near the railway station, comfortable, good breakfast.

Location

Our biggest concern when booking a hotel for Venice was finding a hotel near the bus (vaporetti) to avoid dragging the suitcases. We could not have asked for a better location than hotel Paganelli. The stop San Marco/San Zaccaria was 200m from the hotel. The room was clean and spacious.

The room smelled weird but I would guess that all the hotels in Venice smell the same due to the humidity from the water.

Clean room, cozy bed, good bathroom, and good TV (if you actually need a TV while on vacation). Great location close to St. Marco's Basilica (main square in Venice). Close to shopping and public (vaporetto stop by St Marco). Included breakfast is good (eggs, bacon, juice, coffee, toasts, jams, etc).

Bathroom lacked a vent leading to a stagnant water smell. The A/C was barely able to keep up with just the heat generated by the 2 people staying in the room.

Near San Marcos Square, just steps away.

Went to celebrate 20th anniversary. Stayed in a 3 star hotel in Venice before and this was certainly more posh and the price tag reflected that as well. Nice amenities that we were not aware of: breakfast was included at the restaurant, 30 minutes per room of private sauna, jacuzzi or steam sauna time per day. Hotel is a 5 minute walk to St. Mark's Square etc.

Staff are very well dressed and say the right words, but I never sensed any authenticity, warmth, friendliness, etc.. I asked for assistance on several occasions from different people related to getting to the airport, a restaurant recommendation, directions, etc and the responses were typically curt and robotic. The only exception was the porter/bellhop from the Philippines, he was great. I would expect more from a 4-star hotel when I'm paying $400-500 per night. It was as if they didn't like their jobs. The same experience was noted in the restaurant which was located in the sister hotel next door. Doubt I will return given the opportunity.

What I preferred in the hotel was the location. The room was nice, spacious and clean.

The view from the room was not good. The breakfast was poor.

The rooms were very large and nice for the price. The hotel is located a little over a mile from the Piazza San Marco which was totally feasible because you can walk along the water. We had a 1 year old in tow and it wasn't an issue for us. It was actually nice to be in a quiet area in the evenings. There were also a few parks near by which was great to allow our little one to run and play.

The restaurant staff was friendly but the concierge and check-in staff were not so friendly or approachable as is to be expected from a person holding such position.

The staff was nice enough to say that they will take care of the complains and apologized. The breakfast had variety of food.

The staff was nice enough to say that they will take care of the complains and apologized but it wasn't taken care of after all.

great location lovely atmosphere

Staff were accommodating and more then helpful, this hotel has so much charm and is so inviting on arrival. The rooms are spacious and the location is great! Right near the major bus terminal and so easy to access from the airport. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend it to anyone looking for affordable accommodation in Venice! We would definitely stay here on return.

They do not have wireless internet throughout the hotel, you have to pay for it, and use it in the lobby and its not value for money.

Location

The room was not clean at check in. Used amenities. 1 sopa for 2 persona. A lot of mosquitos. Very small shower.

I was a pleasant trip thanks to the Hilton. I received the best service. And has provided me a beautiful view of Venice. If you go to Venice, I will go back to the Hilton. Thanks for making my travel special. Thank you :-)

Hotel Abbazia is just two minutes away from Santa Lucia train station, and the Ferrovia vaporetto (water bus) station is even closer. You can catch a ride on the vaporetto from there any time day or night to San Marco or anywhere you want, or you can just cross the "Ponte dei Scalzi" on Canal Grande and walk your way from there. The hotel entrance is tucked away inside a small alley, and you might have to ask for directions if it is your first time in Venice, but it should be easy for you to find. As for the hotel itself, it is really a charming hotel, and the staff, lead by the manager Alvise Vianello, are the friendliest and most charming staff you would ever counter. The are welcoming and accommodating that you'd feel right at home when you are there. The room itself was very nice and well maintained, it is of a good size, and has all the needed amenities. The bathroom was also clean and of a good size. The hotel also has Wi-Fi and it's free of charge for the guests....

The hotel is perfectly located (close to the train station and to the bus station, making it convenient for a city-trip) and on walking distance from the city-centre. Staff is quite helpful and very nice.

Location was great, with our room having a view directly over a side canal just off the Grand Canal. Took a gondola ride from our doorstep. Breakfast service was good, and WiFi reliable. Will definitely consider staying here again if we return to Venice. Tip: Although you can book a shared water taxi on a small boat that will let you off right at the hotel doorstep, we found that to be cramped, hot, and had a indeterminate wait time. As long as you don't have too much luggage, I recommend just taking the Alilaguna Blue line ferry to the Nove stop. From there, it's only about a 10 minute walk, with only 3 or 4 bridges (with stairs) to cross to make it to the hotel.

Very pleasant staff. We were a family of 4 and had a duplex room which was great.(room 105)

There are no communal areas, just a small reception amd a small breakfast room. Nu loung/seating areas.

A lovely hotel in a great part of Venice, near St. Marks square. Clean rooms, nice breakfast.

Our standard room was tiny. We could barely open our 2 suitcases up on the floor side by side at the foot of the bed and pass by to get to the washroom. The room was just bigger than the bed.

rooms very nice, location good....

staff very nice except for one person at the desk who soured our experience.

The perfect place to stay while visiting Venice! Close to everything, wonderful staff who went out of their way to be helpful and accommodating. We felt completely spoiled! Wonderfully romantic room and delicious breakfast in the morning...would definitely stay again!

Unusual. Helpful staff.

Wifi limited. Facilities need updating.

very good location for visiting any place in Venezia

very good design of hotel

breakfast was not good enough

Excellent location, free internet, helpful staff. It's 30seconds from St Marks Square and 8mins walk to the Rialto Bridge, excellent value for money (which is unique in Venice!)

Place of hotel is very nice.

Place of hotel is very nice. But We had some troubles at hotel. In the morning, we had to eat with about 25 guys who look like a construction worker. I asked the reception, who they were, "ı don't want to eat with them in the same place", they were noisy, bad smell, not a guest of the hotel and the reception told us, they were tourists. If they were tourist, where were the couples of them??? I have been charged for that breakfast. And from 6 am in the morning I had beed woke up by the noise of house keepers. So much noise. On the corridor noisy clean bags... It was a bad experience.

Pleasant staff, cleanness of the room, view at the S. Marco square, nice and comfortable bathroom.

Heating was turned on too much, the thermostat at the room was not responding.

The location is excellent - very well positioned for St.Mark's Square and all the interesting streets and canals around it

Friendly, great service,comfortable room

Difficult to find hotel

Westin Europa & Regina is a wonderful place right on the canal with an amazing staff and facilities

Nothing

I am in a wheelchair and their accessible room was really great. Hotel had a lot of charm and the staff was very helpful.

Would like a grab bar in the shower.

Great hotel, so welcoming. If the bar was open it would have been better.

Good hotel, far from the attraction but there are shuttle for the other side where the attractions are. The shuttle every 30 mins until midnight

The staff are professional but rude somtimes.

The location

Lighting in the room was very poor. One could not read. The customer service was terrible

Lovely hotel very close to St marks but quiet ( we visited end Feb ), great service and nothing was to much for the staff. Would stay their again without hesitation!

Everythig was absolutely perfect!!!!!!!

the place is not five stars it s three stars. The terrace is not covered so the birds take all your food, the bathrooms are tiny and the water spills all over, the internet slow.

The best hotel in Athens. We ended up eating both at the roof top Restaurant and Main follow breakfast room and had excellent food, service and views. Highly recommend!

Surrounding neighborhood wasn't very upscale

Very friendly and professional initial welcome. Helpful advice from concierge

When making our plan to visit Venice we did not know that the place is an island. The sight of water scared us at first on arrival .It became fun and visit to wonderland. The hotel met our expectation as big and reputable shops are within easy reach. we enjoyed our breakfast which provided good scenery of Venice.

Nothing

Great location, good price, friendly service, very clean

Rooms small and tired. Walls very thin and could hear neighbours.

Staff is more than friendly and helpfull. Location is just perfect. Rooms are in good conditions.

This was our last booking on a three week trip and it is off the beaten path which is nice as there are WAY less tourists than in other parts of Venice, but it is still close to everything. The staff was amazing and the breakfast and afternoon happy hour was a treat. Our room looked beautiful.

While our room "looked" beautiful, it was anything but. The bed was possibly the least comfortable bed I have ever slept in and the pillows were like 2 inch foam. As is normal with old buildings in Venice, there is some settling but the floors in this room were drastically slanted. Everything smelled of mildew which some say is typical for Venice but this was my third trip in a variety of old hotels in Venice and I have never smelled that before. Additionally, each room (living room and bed room) had a variety of electrical control panels on the walls that were ridiculously confusing, especially when you just want to turn off a lamp.

What we liked most about our stay was the ease with which we found the hotel, in fantastic walking distance of all the monuments we had mapped out for ourselves. The room was spacious, clean and lovely. We checked in early and the room was ready for us regardless. The staff were pleasant and professional.

The hotel was very well appointed and clean. It was near sites of interest to tourists - an easy walk to Saint Mark's. Some good restaurants nearby. Quiet.

Overall, we did not find the hotel satisfactory. Services were generally poor. No help with getting on their advertised WiFi; blamed it on the fact that we were using a Mac. Phone in room quit. Even when I returned the phone to front desk no action taken and we lived without a phone for remainder of stay. Bathroom not resupplied with soap, etc.; were told our allotment was provided on day one!

The comfort of the room and the pleasantness of the staff.

The available television programs were only in Italian. Also i would have loved to have some warm bites included during the provided breakfast.

The Location was close enough to St. Marks Square.

We love The Gabrielli. They gave us a nice room, very spacious, facing the "Isola St Georgio" with a superbe view of the "Riva". We had been there nine years ago and we were glad to see that the good service and amability is still there. Next time we would appreciate wi-fi in the room.

Comfortable elegance at it's best. Warmest staff you will ever find anywhere in Venice. The staff could not do enough for us. Nothing was to much trouble. Spotless rooms, and nice views. The oriental bar is superb. We will always return to the Metropole when visiting Venice.

After 10 days leaving was very hard.

Fantastic staff, great location, cool hotel design and décor, great bar and food. Will definitely stay there again.

Remarkable location close to everything, highly professional stuff, great air conditiner
