Venice Hotels

Advantages: Awesome location
Disadvantages: Food prices very high

...the Internet, I found the Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal. **LOCATION** The location of the hotel can't be beaten. It is just under 2 minutes walk from the Piazza San Marco (St. Marks Square), and it overlooks the Grand Canal. The restaurant, which I will talk about in more detail later, has seats right on the waterfront. If you know Venice, and know of Harry's bar, the hotel is right next to it. If you don't know Venice, Harry's bar is one of the most ...
...**GETTING THERE** Access to the hotel is very easy. Of course, you can just walk in from the street. It is very close to the San Marco water bus stop too, which is extremely convenient. From the airport however, you can spend up to 2 hours waiting for, and catching the bus. These can be very crowded from the airport too, and certainly isn't a comfortable ride. Of course, arriving in style is essential at a hotel like this, and so a private water ... Read review

Advantages: Close to the water bus drop off, central to the dity
Disadvantages: Room very small, walls paper thin

Ai Mori d'Oriente Hotel We found this to be a charming small hotel. It straddles two buildings which is possibly its only disadvantage, in that we had to go up and under, round and down and up and under again through very narrow corridors to get to our room. Venice is an old city and I suppose that one of the charms that the buildings are not clones of each other. The hotel has a breakfast room, but does not provide evening ...
...The staff in the hotel on a whole though were fairly non engaging. Breakfast was absolutely excellent and is served in a large covered courtyard, with lots of eating options. Scrambled egg and bacon costs extra though. Our room was small, and was located in the attic space, and it felt like that. We had non-functioning air conditioning, we left the window open and that was however fine. In fairness we did not raise this with the hotel, and it maybe ... Read review

Advantages: LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION
Disadvantages: NONE

We actually stayed in the Anex of Hotel Colombia that is called LOCANDA REMEDIO. You use the checkin of the Colombina, then they take you thru the back yard, DO NOT LET THIS DETER YOU. You then enter the Anex climbing a stone stairway that opens into a Beautiful Salon, this is where you will have breakfast, superb compared with small breakfast room in the main Hotel. The staff come across in the morning and set the tables in the Salon. The rooms ... Read review

Advantages: Great hotel, great location?
Disadvantages: Perhaps too big!

...I read about the new Hilton Hotel that had just opened in Venice and they had comments on the wonderful views and the roof terrace. As we had booked to visit Venice in March of this year, and had been several times before this was an opportunity to see another view of Venice from a different area. I had read that it is a large hotel and thinking about Venice and the size it must be out of the main Venice tourist area, we had not seen any building ...
...until we arrived at the Hilton which is the other end of Giudecca Island. They do say that Elton John has a house in this part of Venice. The hotel is an imposing building which was built in the 19th century and is known as Mulion Stuky (on the maps of Venice) it's previous use was a flour mill, though after years of staying empty and fires it has been transformed into one of the best hotels in the world. I must say we were not impressed with the ... Read review

Advantages: So close to St. Marks
Disadvantages: None

Calle del Remedio - Castello, 4416 30122 Venice Italy. We have just returned from this 4 Star Hotel where we spent 3 Nights, I hear you regular readers of my reviews "What is POSHTROIKA doing staying in a 4 Star, he usually goes for the cheap options". Well we were a party of six and the Locanda Remedio (Annex to Colombina) only had two rooms available (See my review of the Locanda under COLOMBINA HOTEL) so I booked one room in the main Hotel, ...
...so lets splash out. The Hotel is located approx 100 yards from St Marks Square, it is located on the Canal which has the Bridge of Sighs over it, so prime location for a visit to Venice. The Check-in is a small area, after all space is always at a premium in Venice, but very smart and friendly staff ensure a smooth process. A smart porter is called who will then show you to your room, and explains how everything works. He then goes back to bring ... Read review
