We stayed in the B&B operated by the Aqua Palace Hotel. Breakfast can be served in your room or you can go to the delicious full service buffet in the main hotel just a few steps away. Front desk personnel are friendly and helpful. They helped us with navigating the city, restaurant recommendations and train tickets. The location is close to St Marks but in a quiet, out of the way corner away from the crowds. We stayed in a jr suite with a bedroom separate from the living space (however there is no door) and the bathroom was large and clean with double vanity and shower (no tub). There is no elevator so you do have to hike up stairs to your room. A bellman will happily bring up your luggage. We took a complimentary boat offered by the hotel over to Murano. When we arrived a man met us on the dock and took us into one of the glass manufacturers. We saw a master glassmaker at work and then toured through their showrooms. It’s a sales pitch for sure which was a little uncomfortable but it was a unique experience. Overall we loved our stay and would recommend Aqua B to friends!
FYI - we arrived by train then took the ferry to the Rialto stop and it is a short walk from there. You can walk to the hotel but, beware, you will go up and down several sets of stairs to go over canal bridges.
