Canal Grande Hotel Venice

The entire experience was perfect. The staff was very friendly, the rooms spacious and elegantly decorated with comfortable beds and a great location right on the Grande Canal

In all our experiences in international travel, this was clearly the best of our lives. The location is perfect for a stay in Venice, a short five-minute walk from the train station (over two bridges) and right on the Grand Canal. One can see the boats going by from the breakfast room. The room given us was clearly the best in the hotel, right behind the main desk but with a privacy door to the vestibule where our room entrance was located. There was an outdoor patio, equipped with a privacy row of trees AND a wall, making it impossible for one to be disturbed or observed. The breakfast was substantial with food of great assortment and unusually high quality, even espresso coffee if requested. Of greatest importance, however, was the quality of the staff, which was absolutely superb. Every single person there, from the manager on down, made us think that we were the nicest and most important people who had ever visited. We had tears in our eyes as we said goodbye to the staff, feeling we had made acquaintances with people we will remember fondly for the rest of our lives.

We were so impressed and surprised by the quality of the hotel as it was such a great deal. The staff was beyond wonderful and the location was perfect. Close to the train station for luggage transport, a bit away from the hustle and bustle but close enough for a short walk to major attractions. Beautiful boutique hotel!

Excellent rooms and accommodating staff. Unpleasant odor in bathroom was the only negative.

Close to piazza Roma , great ferry connections ... near the Ferrovia, friendly staff.. most comfortable bedding and good value .. will certainly return. It is important in Venice to not have to carry your suitcase over too many bridges.. I think from the central pizza there are only two bridges to cross (if you go the right way).

The hotel is situated as convient as you could get and still be away from the crowds that are attracted to the old city. It is better than you might expect from the brand name, nicely appointed, exceptionally clean, helpful and efficient staff. Substantial buffet breakfast.

My wife & I stayed with the hotel twice, recently, for a total of 5 nights. We had the most wonderful stay. Service: fantastic - staff were always useful and friendly with excellent recommendations Rooms: good size, great views, excellent fittings etc Cleanliness: wonderful Food: breakfast was fine - nothing over the top, a standard 'continental'

Superb location with excellent furnishings and attention to detail. Staff very efficient, professional and helpful. Would most certainly stay here again when visiting Venice.

The hotel was beautiful. We had a room that looked out onto the canal and it was stunning. The room was typical Venetian style and I felt like a princess. The bathroom had a tub and rain shower combo which was great. The breakfast was okay and filling and we were able to sit at a table on their dock to the canal and watch the boat pass (amazing!). The hotel was located in Santa Croce and we loved it there. It was right across the Scalzi Bridge from the Santa Lucia train station (if you looked left while crossing the bridge you could see the hotel). The bridge was a downside though - it is very large and getting luggage over it was anything but fun. The location was very quiet, away from the crowds of San Marco. We never used a water bus - we really liked walking through the streets and enjoying Venice that way. It took us about 20-30 minutes to walk leisurely to San Marco. There were signs guiding us, so we did not get lost at all. I had a great time and would definitely return to this hotel!

Great hotel for the price. The staff were very professional - let us choose which room we wanted, took our bags to the room, excellent breakfast and wait staff. The room was gorgeous, used a lot of marble, wood, gold accents plus was a decent size for Europe. Overall one of the better hotels we stayed at during our visit.
