Hotel Indigo Venice - Sant'Elena
Staying at this historic hotel was an absolute delight. The bed was enormous and incredibly comfortable—woke up feeling completely refreshed after a deep, restful sleep. While it's a bit of a walk from the city center (about 40 to 50 minutes), Venice is such a charming place that wandering through its canals and alleys feels like part of the experience. I was especially impressed by the in-house café—had a handmade cappuccino that might just be the best I've ever had in Venice. Rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with a subtle espresso kick. The quiet location offers a peaceful retreat without sacrificing convenience. If you're looking for a relaxing, authentic stay in Venice with great comfort and a touch of local charm, this place is absolutely worth it.

The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Cleanliness is top-notch; every corner of the room felt fresh and well-maintained.

Overall, this hotel delivered an unforgettable experience. The team went above and beyond to make my stay special. I can’t wait to return!

The breakfast buffet was nothing short of outstanding: fresh pastries, local delicacies, organic fruits, and an impressive variety that exceeded all expectations.

Testa d'Oro
This place is absolutely fantastic—safe, clean, and incredibly convenient. Our host Barnaba met us right at the airport boat transfer, which was so thoughtful and made our arrival stress-free. The communication from the platform was clear, with detailed instructions on which boat to take—just a bit lengthy before confirmation, but clearly done for clarity. The apartment layout is a little tricky, but that’s typical of older buildings in Venice. Still, it’s spotless, well-maintained, and just a 2-minute walk from Rialto Bridge—the heart of the city. A 10-minute stroll takes you straight to Doge's Palace, making it perfectly central for exploring everything Venice has to offer. If you want convenience and charm in one package, this is the place.
Hotel Al Ponte Dei Sospiri
Staying at Hotel Al Ponte Dei Sospiri was a delightful experience overall. The breakfast delivered to the room was fresh, delicious, and offered a great variety—definitely one of the highlights. Staff were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The only minor drawback was that the room felt a bit chilly, but it wasn’t unbearable with an extra blanket. That said, the view from our window was quite underwhelming—nothing special. If you’re planning a visit, I’d highly recommend booking a room with a scenic view, especially one overlooking the canal or the famous bridge. With the right room, this place truly shines. Great location, charming atmosphere, and excellent value for money. I’d definitely stay here again when visiting Venice.
Palazzo Guardi
The location of Palazzo Guardi is excellent—just a 15-minute walk from Piazzale Roma and literally one minute from Accademia Station, with San Marco Square just a short stroll away. I checked the hotel via Google Street View before arrival, and it was easy to spot. The breakfast was satisfying, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the room was spacious, warm, and comfortable. I especially appreciated the free beverages stocked in the fridge. The only downside is that the hotel is on the third floor, and the elevator is extremely small and slow—be prepared for some patience when going up or down. Despite that, the overall experience was outstanding. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend Palazzo Guardi to anyone visiting Venice.
Albergo San Marco
My 11-year-old son and I had a wonderful solo trip to Venice, and our stay at Albergo San Marco was absolutely top-notch. With a packed daily schedule, my main priorities were a spacious bed, quiet surroundings, no unpleasant odors, easy access to showers, and a convenient spot to wash small items like shorts and socks—this room checked all those boxes perfectly. The location is unbeatable: just a 5-minute walk to St. Mark’s Square, making sightseeing super easy. The little balcony was a highlight—on warm evenings, we’d open the window instead of using AC, letting in cool breezes. Breakfast was excellent; since I’m currently managing my sugar intake, I stuck to plain yogurt, tomatoes, cucumbers, oatmeal, and ham—perfectly satisfying. The coffee was rich and delicious, and there was a water dispenser offering mineral water with a subtle fruity hint but zero sweetness—so refreshing! There’s also a little hidden perk: if you ask, staff can bring you orange juice or a fried egg and bacon breakfast combo. The only minor downside? No in-room drinking water dispenser—but honestly, that didn’t ruin the experience. Overall, this place offers great value, comfort, and charm. I’d definitely come back.
Al Bailo di Venezia
We stayed here with our family, and overall, the experience was excellent. The hotel is incredibly clean, safe, and every little detail shows thoughtfulness—really made us feel at home. One small suggestion: the AC vent in the room was dusty, so cleaning it or replacing the filter would be a great improvement. Also, since we had elderly guests with us, it would be helpful if guest services were more accessible—having to walk around to check in was a bit challenging. Despite that, the location is fantastic, close to everything, and public transport makes getting around Venice super easy. We truly appreciated the attention to cleanliness and security. Definitely a place we’d recommend and return to.
Hotel A la Commedia
The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk from the train station and only two minutes to a convenient supermarket, which made our stay super easy. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The bed was wonderfully comfortable, and I slept like a baby. The shower provided strong water pressure and consistent temperature—perfect for a refreshing morning rinse. Breakfast was a highlight: a wide variety of options with fresh, delicious fruits that really made the meal special. Everything about this hotel felt thoughtfully designed for guest comfort and convenience. I’m already planning my return visit—this place truly exceeded my expectations.
The St. Regis Venice
We arrived in Venice early at 6 AM with a flight, and the water taxi took us straight to the hotel dock by 7 AM. I was a bit worried about checking in so early, but the staff were incredibly accommodating and processed our check-in immediately—no issues at all. We originally had planned to stay at Aman, but it was fully booked, so we switched to The St. Regis Venice. Honestly, we couldn’t be happier with that decision. From the moment we stepped onto the private dock, the beauty of the property hit us—elegant architecture, luxurious details, and that unmistakable St. Regis charm. It’s not just a hotel; it’s an experience. The location on the Grand Canal is perfect, and every corner feels like a scene from a movie. If you’re looking for timeless elegance and exceptional service, this is it. Highly recommend—worth every penny.
