Top Venice Hotel Reviews

Hotel Montecarlo

Hotel Montecarlo

10/10 Excellent
"For a supposedly 3-star hotel, we were very impressed with this hotel. Our room was spacious, well-appointed, and not noisy. The front desk staff were really helpful and gracious (lost luggage) and did all they could to assist. We would stay there again, and it's in a great location for wandering. Although you do have to walk a bit from the canal. We did not have a room with a view, although for one night, it did not matter. We were in 407."
