Popular Venice 4-star Hotels

We stayed in a canal view room and while the room was very compact, it was beautifully decorated & furnished. It was sparkling clean & had a lovely balcony overlooking the grand canal. The breakfast was great- you could even make your own pancakes! The hotel staffs were all really polite, friendly and helpful. The location is perfect if you arrive by train or bus as only about. 5 minute walk from the train station. I would definitely stay here again if or when I revisit Venice.

I was very worried before I arrived because of the mixed reviews, so I was pleasantly surprised when I arrived. Rooms are clean. The location was great as it's only a few minutes walk from the railway station, and it's right next to the canal. However, breakfast was interesting as we were surrounded by aggressive bees and birds which were ready to steal your food anytime. Staffs were helpful. Special thanks to the waitress who helped calm my daughter when she was stung by a bee.

an excellent hotel with excellent service. We had 5 rooms reserved at the hotel. We left the hotel to go to Ravenna via the trains. We left our Apple air pods in of one the rooms. The gentleman from the front desk (morning shift - sorry I don’t remember his name) on his own walked over the train station, tracked us down and surprised us to give us the air pods. I travel a lot and have never seen such exceptional service. Literally, because of his level of exceptional service from when we checked in to now, we decided to change our hotels (when we return from the cruise) to stay again at The Carlton because of his above and beyond attitude. Thank you for your hospitality and outstanding experience from the point of when we first checked in.

Disappointed by the level of service and outdated hotel. For that very pricy 4 stars hotel, I would have appreciated a higher level.. the staff was not particularly friendly neither helpful. The room was very dark with casi no natural light, not renovated like the booking picture. The bathtub was broken, they send someone that didn’t care of it and said it was indeed broken, reception didn’t propose anything in exchange. I ended up trying to fix myself for 1/2h. Bit sad.. also the Jacuzzi/public bath or gym are not accessible for free. You have to pay and book ahead.. you would imagine it’s included in the price. Positive side: very well located in the center, in the main luxury street, explain the price I guess? The rooftop is really the highlight with beautiful sunset, where we drunk our complementary bottle. The breakfast is really good, one of the best so far. Will not come back, not worthy.

Stayed here just for 1 Night but we can gladly say that it’s worth the price! 📍Location: Perfect, right in front of the train & bust station 10’ away from Venice with the bus (ticket 3€ back/forth) 🛎️ Staff: Everyone from the reception up to the maid were all very friendly.. EXTRA+: We felt more than welcomed from the reception as they were all very professional, polite and knowledgeable, excellent communication skills.. even told us places to visit in Venice.. 🦠 Everything was clean & well prepared 🔑 Electronic key card 💼 Allowed me to store my luggage after checkout which I appreciate. 🔇 Quiet ✈️ Called us a transfer for the airport 🏢 Very descent common areas and fast elevators (6th floror) 💸 Worth it

We arrived via Water taxi directly from the airport to the Canel Grande's private jetty and drinks balcony. If you can afford the €130 25 minutes journey, and are new to the city like us, it's amazing introduction. We felt quite the film stars! Our welcome was incredible. We got to the hotel very early - 9ish and our room wasn't ready, only to be expected. So we dropped our bags off and headed off to explore and get lost in Venice for the first and not the last time over the next 4 days we were there. Thank heavens for Google maps! Coming back around midday our room was still not ready, which gave us the opportunity to drink Aperol Spritz - the drink of Venice on the Hotels balcony while watching the water traffic on the Grand Canal by. Mesmerising... When our room was ready our baggage already there, along with a bottle of prosecco on ice, and hand written note wishing us a happy 35th wedding anniversary. We chose a room without a view which not only saved money, but made us go out and enjoy the city. The hotel has plenty of seating outside and in to enjoy the view anyway. It's is in a cul-de-sac, that makes it feel very private, as few people go down it. The room are in the Italianate Baroque style. Very clean and comfortable. The staff are impeccable, friendly, informed and helpful. It felt like a happy place to work. Note: Due to the small seating area inside, the excellent breakfast needs to be booked. The number 1 canal bus, a 3 minute walk from the hotel that takes you directly to San Marco Square. We only once asked for restaurant recommendation (La Patatina). This was the best of the best of meals we had in Venice. But at wine starting at €32 a bottle, expect a bill of around €110 for 2. From The Hotel is a marvel, we loved every moment were there. Over 3 days we walked over 25 miles, of this grand and historic city, saw great works of art in several museums and churches but missed much more. So, will we go back? Definitely. And Canal Hotel is where we will stay!

This was a really lovely hotel. Rooms were extremely comfortable the staff attentive always happy smiling and ready to help. Breakfast was all you could wish for catering for everyone. It has a beautiful terrace right on the grand canal opposite the old customs house with a wonderful view over the water to Giudecca and St Giorgios. We would definatel stay here again, could not actually find fault with it. One tiny detail I would just check the bill when you leave as it appeared we had taken several items from the mini bar when we had not. The lovely receptionist immediately removed said items from our bill so no harm done a little blip obviously but I might not have noticed had my daughter who was looking over my shoulder had not mentioned it to me.

We stay in the junior suite for 2 nights. The room was spacious and well appointed with all essential amenities. The downsides were not having good view (facing the other building’s rooftop) and water pressure was weak and not hot enough. The bed and pillows were clean and comfortable. The reception staff were always friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good. Appreciated the covid preventative measures that the foods were served in the individual containers.

Despite the small size of the rooms and smell of mould, Rialto hotel boasts a great location with amazing view of the historic Rialto bridge and the grand canal. We were lucky to enjoy the annual Regatta parade of charming gondolas passing by the canal just sitting by the windows of our hotel room. Tasty Venetian style breakfast is served in the water front terrace with view. A major renovation would greatly improve the quality of this hotel!

Hotel Dona Palace is a great place to stay. It is located very close to Piazza San Marco and connects well to the Giardini della Biennale and Rialto areas. It has its own jetty if arriving or leaving by water taxi and is not too far to walk and wheel luggage from the Vaporetto stops. The room was very comfortable with a 'real' double bed, decent bathroom with good water pressure, air conditioning and a small bar fridge. There was also a table and chair where I could work. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay.
