I would definitely stay here again.

I booked Murano Palace for both but ended up cancelling the second night and going elsewhere. Basically it is a small, family-run place that is much more like a B&B than a hotel. The owner wanted us to call when we were at the airport but that would have been expensive, so we just emailed and said we were on course for our arrival time. You see, they don't staff the building except when they know people are coming. So that's awkward. We got to the hotel about half an hour early and the door was locked, so we buzzed and waited and waited and buzzed and knocked and nothing. Finally I emailed and said we were waiting and the door was opened for us. There's no lift and the stairs a bit awkward when you're dragging luggage and there's no offer of help. The lights have to be pushed on every time (and you need a special key to have them on in your room). The lady who checked us in was nice but didn't really speak English. Our room was not the cheapest in the hotel but wasn't a canal view - it was, in fact, right next to the reception desk. The window opened up onto nothing, except the kitchen window - so they could see right in our room if we didn't have the curtains drawn. And it was warm but the air conditioning wasn't on so we wanted the window open... not great. But the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom large. The TV is tiny and doesn't have any English channels. There is a minibar with a few free items which is nice. When we checked in we had to decide what time we wanted breakfast the next day, which was annoying. As it was, we didn't much want to get up for breakfast after a terrible sleep - the walls are paper-thin, and there was a late check-in, and people talking in the corridor throughout the night (not at all loudly but they might as well have been right in our room). So we traipsed to our unwanted breakfast and met the male owner, who was friendly but a bit overbearing. As we don't drink coffee we might as well not have bothered - we were each given a warm bread roll and there were a few pastries but that was pretty much it. But that's to be expected, and Italians don't really do breakfast. Long story short - if you like the B&B feeling, want to feel 'part of the family', and have good earplugs, you'll love it here. We didn't.

The place looks lovely but do not book through Vacation Apartments Venice. (Not sure if they are…read moreeven a legitimate company) Two months ago, I booked a room for 8 nights over Easter weekend. We negotiated a good price and settled everything through Whats App. I paid and received an invoice and was told that it was non-refundable for any reason. We purchased air tickets (also non refundable) Less than a week before arriving, I receive a bizarre text that they have to cancel my reservations because a "family of 9" had covid in the building and they have to shut down for 14 days. Oddly enough, we have a friend staying there during the same time and the place is open and full. They obviously double booked or got a much better offer as prices are through the roof this Easter weekend and almost everything is booked up. They do not respond to phone calls or messages. We're stuck now with non refundable flights and no reasonable lodging options for our long planned vacation. Do not book here.

Little tricky finding the main entrance, but Venice itself is somewhat of a maze! Nice, clean and cozy room with a great view over a square and restaurant.

Great price for the location as well, one of the most affordable in the area. Highly recommend!

We booked this spot on Hotels.com, just because it was extremely cheap. Basically, we had to choose…read morebetween a janky, semi-gross spot in the center for cheap (Citta), or spend more for something nicer. We were only staying one night before we switched hotels, so we chose Citta di Milano. So this place is extremely hard to get to (like everything else in Venice). Once you're there, it's definitely not much to look at. HOWEVER, the check-in guy was the HOTTEST MAN I've ever seen in my life! Seriously, he was a classically good looking Italian man. Anyway, back to the hotel. The lobby is tiny, you have to climb up a bunch of stairs and the public toilets were kind of gross. Our room was kind of grim (yellow bedsheets, plain bathroom, old furniture) and was located on the 2nd floor. All in all, I was kind of disappointed with the room but sucked it up, because we were only there for one night. HOWEVER! We were traveling in March and didn't realize that there are mosquitos everywhere, but it's not time to turn on the air conditioner. On top of that, the staff had the heater in the bathroom on FULL BLAST and wouldn't turn it off when we asked. The result is an extremely stuffy room and disgusting room. We tried to make the best of it, but no dice. After a nap, we went downstairs to ask for a fan or something. The lady behind the counter spoke 0 English, and her solution was to change our rooms. The result? We had a master suite on the 1st floor! Lesson learned: If you stay at the Citta, stay in one of the meh rooms on the 2nd floor, then wait awhile and ask to switch to the first floor where it's possible to turn off the bathroom heaters. Absolute score, but I wouldn't stay here unless I had another one of those fancy rooms again.

Large bathroom for Italian standards. Clean facilities. Breakfast croissants are good if you get up early enough to get them (they seem to have a limited supply). Cons: The receptionist was rude and unwilling to tell us anything about the city or how to get anywhere. Basic expectation for a receptionist at a lodging place. She spoke basic English she was just plain rude. Also, there is no staff after 3pm so they will not keep your luggage in the afternoon/evening. Location: you have to cross the city to get to the tourist places. If it wasn't for the staff, it would be great value for the money, if you do not mind walking.

Yes, it's a 20 min boat ride to Piazza di San Marco - and you have to take the boat from there it seems. So, if you're at the northern parts of the islands in the evening, it's a 30 min walk through Venice to get there. Having said that, can you really give a 1 star review based on location? Hmm, maybe, but here there's more. What really put me off with this hotel was that when we got our rooms, the sheet was dirty. Right next to my pillow. Maybe it was makeup that had been smeared out, maybe it was something else, who knows. Either way, I don't want it next to my head when sleeping. Thus, I went out and asked them to change it. Sure, no problems, they will change it tomorrow during the cleaning. Eh, WHAT?? No understanding, no excuse, no attempt to fix it. I ended up changing the sheets myself, which is not really a problem - except that I expect not having to do that in a 100euro/night room... So, service was mixed. What about the room itself? It was good sized and nicely decorated. The bed was comfortable and the pillows as well. It was really cool to have the canal just outside the window. Big minus that the AC only had an on/off mode (where the on mode was several celcius too cold - yes, we asked them to have a look at it, and they did. Nothing happened with it.). Free Wifi in the lobby, no wifi at all in the room (outlet for ethernet cable available). Come on, this is 2014?! Breakfast was probably the highlight of the hotel, best one we had in Italy by far. Was especially impressed that they also had dark rye bread! Minus for nothing being labeled - the plain croissants mentioned in one review were really nice, but they were easily mistaken for the ones with a sweet filling (same box, different shelves, looked identical). Coffee, as in all other Italian hotels I've stayed in was from a machine - ironically enough with all Italians having good espresso all the time.

The best way to the hotel is taking the water bus and get off at Guidecca. You'll have to walk…read morethrough a narrow alley to get to the hotel. The rooms are really small for 3 people. It cost about $200 a night USD during the weekend I'm staying at in May. Free breakfast every morning. The free wifi doesn't work in our room. You'll have to stay in the lobby to get connect. They make you return the key to the lobby everytime you leave your room in order for them to clean it. Our blow dryer wasn't working properly bit we were too busy to complain. There is only one person working at the front desk. A short walk from the hotel to the water bus. Most stores in the area are closed on the weekends. The water bus will take you to San Marco in about 10 mins and it runs very frequent. If you're taking the water bus to the airport, you have to buy a separate water bus ticket. The water bus terminal to the airport is about 15 min walk from the hotel and the ride takes about an hour.
