We spent just two nights at the Aqua Palace hotel but wish we had had more time there. Perfectly situated close to St. Mark's Sq and a number of very good restaurants. On arrival the door was opened for us and our bags taken care of. We were shown to our room, given our bags and left to ourselves. The... More

On a quiet canal between the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Square is this lovely boutique hotel. Convenient, clean and comfortable, we had a lovely stay from May 10-13. The first room they showed us was next to the elevator, so we politely asked for another, which was clean, small (but the usual for European rooms), and had a big... More

We have very mixed feelings about this hotel. In fact we never felt really comfortable there. May be because of the small size of the common areas (reception, breakfast place), the lack of a nice bar where to unwind after a hard day of sightseeing, the darkness of the room room despite its 2 windows (dark wall paper and almost...

Like so many other sojourners in Venice, we shared the universal desire for "A Room With A View." If that is your preference, be aware that although this beautiful old building, with elevator and fronting on a picturesque canal may well have such rooms, none were made available to us on our stay. On arrival we were presented with a... More

We booked a flight + hotel package with BA, first time visitors to Venice but not to Italy. We were so pleased with our choice of hotel, it really is a gem! On arrival, we were shown to our room on the 4th floor. The room was a good size, had a very comfortable bed, good storage space, was decorated... More

As almost everything in Venice, the hotel is set in an old (recently restored) Pallazzo. The lobby, the breakfast area and the rooms look very new, with elegant marble and somewhat dark, but modern furniture. There are two entrances: one by the sidewalk, next to a bridge and another opening to a small canal, where the taxi boats and gondolas... More

Of all the hotel rooms in the various countries of Europe that we have visited, Aqua Palace is by far the best. It is pricey, but everything about the rooms is sumptuous. The breakfast buffet is plentiful and of good quality. The wait staff is extremely polite and seemed well attuned to the needs of the guests. The best part... More

Stayed here for three nights to start our honeymoon. We were greeted with a complimentary bottle of Prosecco which was a lovely surprise. We stayed in the room on the top floor with a view of a canal if you looked down! Room was beautiful, spacious and very comfortable. Breakfasts were the best we had in Italy in our two... More

We got allocated an attic room on the top floor, our view was of all the roof tops which looked cool. The bed was so comfortable that we had a brilliant nights sleep. The hotel was hard to find without a map but good fun in the maze that is Venice.
