Palazzo Veneziano

10/10 Excellent
"Well worth the money. The canal views are beautiful if you get a room that has one. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful with tips on places to go. Location is nice too. You aren’t in the busy areas of Venice and walk straight out to the view of the ocean without a crowd. It’s a slightly longer walk to a lot of places in Venice but well worth it."
