Hotel Rialto

10/10 Excellent

"We would stay there again. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and bathroom updated. Enough outlets, bring converters. Do not eat at the Rialto restaurant! The breakfast provided by hotel was very good! Staff go above and beyond to make sure your stay is pleasant."

Hilton Molino Stucky Venice

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel in quiet but convenient location with shuttle boat directly from hotel dock to Piazza San Marco (every half hour or so) for a very reasonable additional fee. You’ll also find many excellent restaurants within a short walk on Giudecca. Hotel breakfast is excellent, dinner not so much, especially in the Rialto, which is not of the same caliber as surrounding options. (Don’t bother with the meal plan beyond breakfast. You will regret it!). The staff is wonderful, efficient and always helpful, which made for a very pleasant stay. There is also public transportation between airport and hotel for €18 per person, which is considerably less expensive but much longer, than private transportation. (An hour and a half with no restrooms on board… definitely something to think about.) All in all I can recommend this hotel and wouldn’t hesitate to book it again."

Palazzo Dei Guardiani

8/10 Good

"sparkling clean, spacious bedrooms, comfortable beds. For those planning to check in late at night, please be aware that assistance may not be immediately available. I had provided all guest details well in advance, so I didn’t think it was necessary to specifically mention that we planned to use the sofa bed. However, upon arrival, we found that no bedding had been prepared for it. We checked in at 11 p.m., and only then realized the issue. Unfortunately, neither phone calls nor text messages were answered that night, and we didn’t receive a reply until the following morning."

Hotel Messner

6/10 Okay

"We were utterly disappointed with room 19. I’ve never been in a worse room.. although it was mostly clean, the wallpaper was moldy, the room was musty, the bathroom toilet did not work and the hallway and rugs were filthy. Unfortunately, they were not able to put us in a different room until the next day so we suffered greatly. The next day we were moved to room 40 which was much much better. For the money, I would stay there again, but never ever in room 19.. The management was very nice, but unfortunately the establishment is understaffed and ineffective. Expedido was little help in resolving the issues... Venice is really gorgeous and these rooms have a lovely view over the canal. It’s quiet and charming.."
