10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is very well situated - just a short block from a water bus stop and an easy walk to San Marco square. The room we had was small but comfortable. The building is old so getting to and from the room was a little convoluted, but we figured it out. The breakfast was very nice. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. They had water and juice available all the time."

Hotel Plaza Venice

Hotel Plaza Venice

10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic and helpful staff. They were accommodating enough to let us drop off luggage a few hours early before check in and the luggage was waiting for us in our room. Fantastic room that was spacious and clean. Perfect for our family of 4. Great location right across from the train station and within walking distance of more than a dozen restaurants. We felt safe and well accommodated there. The only slight hiccup was that, for a hotel of this status, we felt the breakfast was a little lacking. The eggs, sausage, bacon, and beans were not very good. The fruit was fairly mediocre as well. The pastries/bread were adequate, and the cheeses were good, as well as the coffee/hot chocolate. In spite of the mediocre breakfast, in all other regards, this hotel was far and away the best we stayed at during our entire 10-day European trip. I would definitely stay here again."

Amadeus Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This was by far our most favorite hotel amongst all other ones that we stayed at throughout our multi city trip in Italy. It was right in the heart where everything was happening and also a convenient 5 min walk away from the train station, which we felt was a plus given we had a lot of luggage to carry. The hotel was super inviting, clean, doorman helped us bring our suitcases up, and we appreciated the free breakfast as well."
