Venice Hotel Guide. Family Hotels in San Marco, Venice, Italy

Excellent location just beside the tourist routes of San Marco sestiere, within earshot of the occasional singing gondolier! but so peaceful. Staff always helpful and knowledgeable with good English. Apartment well equipped, always cleaned promptly. Our stay was for over 2 weeks and we would certainly return for more if fortunate enough to go again.

Hotel un peu dur à trouver mais c'est Venise aussi, sinon après ce n'est que du bonheur.

We arrived with our teenage children late at night for a one-night stay. The room for four people we had reserved was exactly as promised: clean, spacious, and very attractive. As was the breakfast room. And the location is outstanding. Very happy with our decision to stay here.

Very pleasant stay for 5days, staff excellent, wonderful breakfast, restaurant very good Hotel a little dated but this is Venice

We bought the 'gimmefive' ticket in advance which allowed us five days of travelling on the Alilaguna services. So consequently we arrived at our hotel (300m walk) jetty by sea from the airport. It was in the evening which was a special way to see the Grand Canal. We were welcomed warmly, anxieties surrounding language dispelled by English speaking reception. Our room had a view over the Grand Canal which made it more special throughout our stay, with an opportunity to sit outside on a veranda. The room was perfect for us. Saint Mark's square was only a seven minute wander away. We enjoyed exploring other areas on foot, or jumping on and off the Alilaguna ferry. We got a free ride to the islands, visiting Murano for the glass-blowing and Burano and Torcello. Four and a half hours, take something to snack on and to keep warm whilst on the sea. Evenings spent choosing an eatery and meandering. Visits to churches and access to museums was included in the ticket (gimmefive), the highlight was the Basilica S. Marco. We actually went on Sunday around the time of the service and entered the museum for five euro each. This allows you to be upstairs when the singing is going on down below as well as access to some special pieces of history regarding the mosaics and the building itself. Whilst upstairs you get to see the inside of the ceiling of the Basilica in all its glory. They block off a full view of the Basilica downstairs, but you can access the best bits. Gondola ride a must.

Absolutely beautiful rooms, both comfortable and functional. The view is outstanding. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location is ideal for almost all the tourist sites, yet is still nestled away in a quiet spot on the canal. I cannot wait to spend my return trip with them.

Great staff (Francis was exceptional). A two minute walk to the Rialto Bridge. Set breakfast and basics for us the night before so we could catch 0603 water bus to airport. Easy to walk to EVERYTHING!

I had a great time here. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very nice each morning. Remember, you're in Venice...so when you see how tiny the hotel rooms are, you need to remember where you're at! Tiny is the norm out here.

This is the most perfect hotel and I will definitely use again.

We were pleasantly surprised by the high quality of this large hotel. It has a great centrally located location, delicious and plentiful breakfast buffet, clean rooms and helpful staff. We loved being placed in the room called, "Antonia." It is was a rooftop room with vaulted ceilings and a living room! Perfect for our honeymoon!
