Top Venice Hotel Reviews

Carnival Palace Hotel

Carnival Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Take the orange Alliguna water taxi from the airport then a five minute walk from the Giglio stop. $18 euros pp one way. This boutique hotel is perfect. Short walk to the touristy areas but far enough away to be scenic and quiet and feels like old Venice ! King bed was comfortable and the bathroom was awesome. We were upgraded to a junior suite room 121 with an excellent view of the canal. Well insulated for noise control too. Stay here and you will get your beauty rest!"

"24hr check in was very helpful when our flight was delayed. Good air conditioning, nice buffet breakfast - mostly continental but even had some beans for beans on toast! 😁 Helpful, friendly staff, great location for getting the shuttle bus from Marco Polo airport (20 mins transfer time), and drops you a 2 minute walk from the hotel. Would stay again."

8/10 Good
"The building and decorations are fantastic, the cleaning team wa excellent, the reception team was too cold, I didn't feel welcomed by them. Perhaps was the language barrier. The room we stayed had fried oil and food smell all the time, but it was clean and the A/C was fantastic."
