Top Venice Hotel Reviews

Hilton Molino Stucky Venice

8/10 Good

"It was solidly very good and the front of house staff were attentive and excellent. Food was average and pricey (to be expected in a hotel I guess). Room was clean but there was only one glass instead of two (this was not corrected during the entirety of our stay - but we also didn't ask, I was just curious to see if it would be picked up by housekeeping unaided), and the bath had an unsighly chip in it, which was a bit offputting. The pool was excellent - a highlight amenity and the spa massage was very good as well."

Carnival Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel."
