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.

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.
Staying at Hotel Santa Chiara was a fantastic experience—right next to the train station, just one bridge away, making it incredibly convenient for arrivals and departures. I’m pretty sure it’s the closest hotel on the island to the station, which is a major plus when you’re navigating Venice with luggage. The room itself was clean and well-maintained, with a spotless bathroom and comfortable bedding. The only minor downside was the single-pane windows, which let in some chill during colder nights—but adding an extra blanket easily fixed that. Staff were prompt and helpful; whenever I requested something, it arrived quickly without any hassle. Plus, walking 20 minutes daily to explore nearby attractions wasn’t burdensome at all—Venice is so walkable and scenic that every step feels worth it. Overall, this place offers great value, excellent location, and warm hospitality. Definitely recommend it for travelers who want convenience without compromising on comfort.
