Venice as a whole was brilliant and I would recommend visiting there wholeheartedly to anyone, young, old, families and couples alike. If you want a hotel where the location, service from all the staff, rooms and facilities are top notch then the Metropole is for you. It is a little more expensive than some of the other hotels you can... More

Excellent hotel, ideal location, wonderful rooms, friendly and polite staff who couldn't do enough for us. The only very, very minor downside was that the bed was a little on the hard side for us but would probably suit many others. The hotel restauraunt was quite pricey too but there are so many other places to eat it wasn't a... More

This hotel was decorated sumptuously with dark coloured fabric both for walls and curtains in our room and in public ones. If in doubt this hotel hung dark material....everywhere! The food and staff and location were all excellent. The water taxi stop is a 7 minute walk from the airport . Then you have an exciting 25 minute ride to... More

Walk out the front door and you are on the Grand Canal, 8min. walk (10 min. when crowded) to St. Mark Sq. Ideal location to visit the area, especially when you are there for only a short time. Lots of restaurants/cafes, unique shops, souvenirs shops etc. Staff was very friendly and helpful even on late night arrival. Keeping in mind... More

My husband and I spent the first week-end of our vacation in this hotel--and it was fabulous. The location was wonderful, the service was friendly, the breakfast was great--but the best part was just the history of the place. The building has such a rich history, and the little collections all over--from fans to corkscrews and calling card cases--were unique... More

My wife and I spent 4 nights in this wonderful hotel. The staff is friendly and helpful. Bruno at the bar and Alvisa at the desk were exceptional. The lobby and common area has great character, with lots of lovely antiques. The breakfast room staff was terrific, very courteous and fun and responsive. Our room was nicely decorated and comfortable.... More

Given the hotel is 5 star rated, located on the Grand Canal in Venice, and the price we paid I had high hopes for this hotel. The hotel is lovely, in the public areas which are filled with antique furniture etc but not sure whether the level of conform warrants 5 stars. The room was ok, but had a weird... More

Don't expect a run of the mill hotel, this place has a certain style,that you begin to appreciate once your eyes become accustomed to the gloom!Fabrics and room scents abound, Quirky collections mixed with some beautiful antiques and chandeliers. The staff were very helpful, nothing appeared too much trouble.Breakfast had everything we required and great coffee. The dinner menu looked... More
