My stay at Palazzo Odoni was absolutely wonderful. We were greeted not only by Alessandro at the…read morefront desk but also by the hotel dog, Maffy! Everything about Palazzo Odoni deserves an A+. Palazzo Odoni Location: A+ What a great location in the lagoon. After arriving at Marco Polo Airport, my husband and I took the ATVO bus to Piazzale Roma. From Piazzale Roma, walking to Palazzo Odoni took less than five minutes. Similarly, when we checked out of Palazzo Odoni and walked to the train station, we also had a five-minute walk. I loved the courtyard entrance into Palazzo Odoni. When entering the courtyard before walking up the stairs, you would never know that you're in a city with hundreds of people outside. The courtyard was so quiet that I could have heard a pin drop. Palazzo Odoni Staff: A+ I emailed Palazzo Odoni about a week prior to my arrival in Venice to inquire about making reservations for lunch at Enoteca ai Artisti after I experienced problems contacting the restaurant via phone. Alberto at Palazzo Odoni was very kind to call the restaurant on my behalf and schedule a reservation for us. (By the way, that restaurant was incredible!) Alessandro was very helpful with giving us directions and advice on getting around the city. We arrived about 45 minutes before our room was ready, and he provided us coffee on the house during our wait. One more note about the staff: Palazzo Odoni also comes with a hotel dog. That's an A+ no matter what. Palazzo Odoni Rooms: A+ Our room was small and quaint but very clean and lovely. The view from the room and bathroom were wonderful! The Venetian-themed decor was pretty and very fitting for the whole building. Our room was quiet, and we slept very well. Palazzo Odoni Food: A+ The breakfast at Palazzo Odoni was incredible! The croissants and small pastries were fresh and delicious. Also available were meats, cheeses and fruits, which were also fantastic. Even the morning coffee was wonderful. Everything about Palazzo Odoni -- the convenient location, courteous staff, Maffy, the wonderful rooms and the great food -- made our stay in Venice absolutely perfect. If and when I return to Venice, Palazzo Odoni will be my one and only choice for a hotel. I absolutely recommend it.

We recently had a wonderful stay at the Residence Palazzo Odoni in Venice. Our host Michele was…read morethere to meet us, was very polite and helped us with our bags. Our party of 3 stayed in the Tiziano apartment. It is very spacious, has a nice small kitchen, great AC, and ample seating areas. The apartment's main sitting and dining area is decorated in a traditional palazzo style. The comfy bed and pull out sofa are deftly slip covered IKEA products. Access to this apartment requires many stair steps. Approx 30 steps to get to the lobby, and another 14 steps inside the apartment to get to the bathroom and bedroom. The lower floor of the apt has sleeping for 3, plus 2 more upstairs. There is plenty of hot water and a Jucuzzi tub. Sleeping was comfortable, heavy traditional drapes keep out the morning light. We used the #5 ACTV bus to get to and from the Marco Polo Airport. The Odoni is only a 10 min walk from Piazzale Roma bus and vaporetto stops. Near the Vaporetto stop is a bank (withdraw Euros from teller machining using Visa card, with PIN), also the COOP supermarket, where you can stock up on goodies for the fridge. There are many good restaurants and shops close by. I strongly recommend this place to families that can easily climb all those steps.
