Top Venice Hotel Reviews

Hotel Rialto

Hotel Rialto

10/10 Excellent
"Great position right next to Rialto Bridge and very close to vaporetto stop Rialto, making it easy to get to from the airport (water bus stops there) and from the vaporetto service or by walking - it's so central. Super helpful staff and someone always available. Good to have breakfast included - not always the case in Venice. Bathroom spotlessly clean. We had an economy standard room on the second floor so no view and it was small and basic, but met our needs well - we only sleep there after all. Bed on the hard side, so avoid if you like a soft mattress, it was okay for us but only just. Air con very efficient. Our stay was a flight + hotel deal through Expedia, so was very good value for what we paid. We had a super time - our fifth trip to Venice, we love it. Came for the Biennale, which was great."

8/10 Good
"We had an absolutely wonderful stay. We wanted a place close to the airport to get a fantastic night's rest before a long flight, and this place exceeded our expectations. Although we arrived early and our room wasn't quite ready, the incredibly kind staff let us check in early and relax by the stunning pool. The room was immaculate, the bed was super comfortable, and it had the cutest little patio! Unfortunately, the mosquitos were pretty relentless, so we couldn't enjoy the outside space as much as we wanted to. Would recommend adding on the breakfast option—it was easily one of the best we had during our three-week trip! We would 100% stay here again."

"Great location, using the boats get off at St Maria d Giglio, and you avoid all bridges and only one small step into the lobby. Remember, you are in Venice where space is a premium, some rooms smaller then others, #312 is a good example!"

Venezia Palazzo Barocci

Venezia Palazzo Barocci

8/10 Good
"We booked Balcony room but gave us Canal view room. They said it depends on availability. Breakfast was very good especially fresh fruits. I asked for iron to iron my clothes but they didn’t have an iron. They gave me the steamer. Staffs were nice but don’t answer the phone often. Location was good and easy access to every where. 10 minutes walk to Academy bridge and 12- 15 minutes to Rialto Bridge. 10 to 15 minutes walk to St Mark plaza."

"Our corner room, looked right down on the gondolas picking up passengers, so we loved that. Lots of entertainment. Breakfast buffet, included, was very nice. Hotel is located just steps off San Marco square, which is very convenient. Water taxi can come right to the door of the hotel."
