When we arrived, we were shown to the room immediately after a brief introduction to the hotel and city. We were offered any advice we needed as well as access to concierge services gratis. The staff was welcoming and friendly as well. It's very comfortable. The room decor was elegant and the bed was wonderful after a long trip. Coffee and a welcome bottle of Prosecco were also waiting for us. The view is really, truly right on the canal. It's fantastic but surprisingly quiet at night, likely due to the excellent windows We took the water taxi to the San Marco Square then walked back and it was about a 30 minute walk with beautiful shops and restaurants almost the entire way. Final note, the breakfast was a very good value with a diverse selection and excellent coffee. We recommend this hotel wholeheartedly.

There is also a restaurant right behind it that is delicious in case you don't want to venture too far and risk getting lost (which we did a lot of in Venice). Although the staff did try to prevent this, and gave us a map of the city as well as recommendations. I think the main selling point for me was that with three travelers, we usually needed a queen and an extra bed, and the suite that we booked came with an extra bed in it's own separate little area that had it's own television (although we didn't use it, it was nice that it was there!). Plus, there were extra pillows and covers to make sure everyone was comfortable. Overall, a really lovely stay in Venice.

Walking distance from everything you want in Venice. They gave us a free bottle of Bellini when we checked in. Great breakfast buffet right on the water, that was included with our room for being Marriott elite members. This has to be one of the nicest best hotels in Venice. The only somewhat downside is that because this is such a nice hotel, room service and the food options at the hotel are completely overpriced. But that's the case almost everything in Venice from what we saw. If there was some more reasonable food and beverage options at this hotel i would have given it 5 stars

We came here for a few nights recently and got there right at the absolute BEST time, as the…read moreweather right before our stay was rainy and cold and on our date of departure, it was cloudy and cold.  This hotel is amazing to enjoy during nice, sunny weather!!  Sitting outside overlooking the Grand Canal while enjoying wine, bubbles, cocktails, or even morning breakfast was something we enjoyed multiple times per day!   Since we had never been to Venice we didn't know how to get from the train station to this hotel, but a quick call with the concierge staff helped immensely!  They literally directed us via phone to exactly where to go, which private boat taxi stand to go to.  Once our boat pulled up, they were all waiting outside on the dock for us!  They helped us off the boat, welcomed us to the St Regis, and immediately took our luggage from the boat.  (FYI - Be sure to budget for these private taxis, they're rather expen$ive!  This one from the train station was 88eu.  One from Burano to here is about 170eu, and one from here to the VCE airport is 160eu)   A staff member took us straight to check-in, where a nice young lady immediately checked us in, providing all the necessary information we needed and then a butler took us to our room.  We had a partial Grand Canal view room, which was a slight upgrade from the basic room.  The butler reviewed the entire property with us prior to taking us to the room, such as showing us their bar, restaurant, patio, quiet room, etc.  She then took us to our room which was very nicely furnished.  The bathroom was amazing, spacious, and had heated floors!  The shower was huge, with a seat and large bath sheets in the shower area hanging on towel warmers.  The bed was very comfy and the linens were perfect.   This property is located perfectly to see so much from it as well as be able to walk nearly anywhere on the island in about 20 minutes max.  Of course, they have their private large boat dock on the Grand Canal, where you can get a water taxi to take you anywhere you want also.  All the shopping you might want to do (Prada, Tiffany, Armani, etc) is a very quick few minutes walk away.   The staff were all very pleasant and helpful.  Their concierge service is 24x7 and they are a wealth of information.  They are busy, so fortunately there were always two at the counter, but plenty of others you could talk to if you had a question or a need.  The onsite restaurant and bar were excellent, and there are numerous other dining and drinking options within a short walking distance.   This was an amazing experience, one we'll definitely want to come back and enjoy again!

The room was large especially for Italy and European hotels. It had a huge closet and large bathroom. The bed was wonderful and comfortable with fluffy down pillows and comforter. There was a welcome treat left for us with some special cookies. The mini bar is well stocked and reasonably priced. The bathroom has a walk in shower, big vanity and mirror and toilet plus bidet. The best feature was the towel heater! Not only does this dry your towels quickly but the warm towel as you step out of the shower is divine! All toiletries are provided including little extras like toothbrushes and shower caps. There was a hair dryer as well. The bathroom was well appointed. There is no detail left out at this hotel. The customer care is exceptionally good. They ensure every detail and comfort is provided. They are always willing to call water taxis and provide recommendations for dining. The lounge and bar are also lovely and they take exceptional care of guests. This will be our go to hotel chain especially this hotel in Venice for the lavish experience. Everything here was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

First and only night in Venice. 3.5 would be my actual rating but won't bump up to 4. It is a nice…read moreclean hotel in a very convenient location. Staff was friendly, accommodating, and professional. At the same time I was not blown away. My biggest issue and reason for my 3 stars is mostly based on the fact that I could/would not stay more than one night. We had a view of a wall and it was a struggle to even get to the window to look out. I didn't want to spend time in the room due to the fact that with no light coming in the room was dark. Not what I pictured my night in Venice to be. Others in our group had a similar lack luster view. Make sure you request a room with some kind of view. Breakfast was from 7 to 10am...we missed our "free" breakfast as we had to leave by 7am for the airport. They hotel provided a "breakfast to go" bag which was quite nice. I was impressed with that. The room has an Italian decour with gold and red colors. Shampoo and hand soap in pump bottles not individual containers. Coffee machine was excellent. Bidet in each room. Bed was comfy enough but I have had much better. Short walk to great cafes, restaurants and stores. 25 min walk to the heart of Venice. Depending how you go to airport (water taxi, car, bus and water taxi) I would say approximately 35 min. Hotel lobby is very nice, smaller than expected, and water and apples upon checking in. If I returned to Venice I personally would stay elsewhere.

It's official! My favorite city so far in Italy was Venice! Despite all the horror stories about…read morethe flooding, I was happy to still have the chance to visit this city while I was in Italy. During my recent stay in Venice, I reserved the Hotel Abbazia as it was one of the best locations near the Santa Lucia Railway Station. Literally, the hotel was 700 ft from the station, down an alleyway as I passed several restaurants; you can't beat the convenience and the price! For a budget hotel, this was a simple and decent stay--the room offers a small flat-screen TV, iron board and hairdryer, mini-refrigerator and air conditioner, and a hard ol' mattress queen bed, not the most comfortable bed but it was doable for the time that I spent there. The only thing it didn't offer was a damn elevator; BOO! Good thing for friends because my homegirl and her boyfriend were able to take my heavy ass suitcase up to the second floor or else a sista' would have been struggling! The hallways to the bedrooms were this sexy red lighting that automatically came on when it sensed any movement. I liked it but I sensed that my friends thought it was pretty creepy. The hotel offers a beautiful elegant dining/bar area with a gorgeous chandelier. This is also where free breakfast is served in the morning. I hear breakfast offered an array of different pastries and fruit. If you have time to eat breakfast, I would give it a shot. Make sure you also check out the back-garden seating area. It's perfect for enjoying your breakfast in the morning or coming out to get some fresh air. The staff during the evening was nice, however, I felt that the gentleman became irritated with me as the bedroom door had slammed shut on me as I was walking my friends out of my bedroom, and it just so happened that I had left my keys in the room. Also, just like similar hotels in Italy, the air conditioners turn off after a certain time, making these rooms stuffy. The only option I had was to open the window; UGH. The rooms are quiet, I couldn't hear my neighbors at all. The bathroom was super small, and the showers were not the best. The water temperature only provided cold water; BOO! You can tell the facility is a little outdated and needs some TLC. Within the area alone, there are varies different restaurants. Once you walk out of the hotel, you are right in front of all the activities. You can take a Water Boat to any side of Venice, or you can do what I did and just walk the whole City as its pretty doable to do in 8 hours. There are also bars all throughout the area, making for a great night. If you are looking for more of a convenient hotel near the station and close to many of the landmarks in Venice, I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are staying for less than 2 nights. P.S-If you are planning to leave your luggage at this hotel as you roam the Venice area, please note that this hotel doesn't lock the door to the luggage room. Make sure you take your valuables with you.

It's a small bed a breakfast with plenty of character, located in a quieter area of Venice just north of San Marco. It was perfect for a romantic getaway because it was walking distance from the more touristy areas (10-15 minutes) but peaceful at night if you want to escape the noise. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed, including a safe inside the wardrobe and a coffee maker for the morning. My favorite feature was the balcony and window though, because opening the shutters and sticking my head outside made me feel like I was in a Disney movie. I just need some talking birds to come land on my windowsill now!

We stayed in 4 hotels during our trip to Italy/Paris, and this was my favorite. We were there on the worst evening in 50 years (highest tide) and the hotel downstairs was flooded. We had to leave earlier than planned, and the managers there were very caring for us, gave us recommendation when we should plan to leave (avoid dragging suitcases in the deep water). I hope that they have been able to recover from the flood/damage. :( Due to the location (close to the water, lower ground) it would be helpful for them to keep enough rain long boots/covers for the guests in the future.

As it turned out, it made me see a broader view of Venice, discover different places and the hotel itself was lovely (with canals, bridges and everything Venice nearby!) During my last visit, I stayed near the Rialto Bridge in a pensione, so this visit was quite a change. And I loved it! The AC Hotel was modern, clean and excellent overall. The room was small, but comfortable, well-designed and quiet. Service was always attentive and exceptional.
