Top Venice Hotel Reviews

Hotel Rialto

Hotel Rialto

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here on the first two days of our honeymoon trip in Italy and could not have been more pleased. The hotel is beautiful and well maintained and the staff are friendly and very helpful. Our room was attractive and quite comfortable. The breakfast buffet offered a wide selection and was well worth the additional cost. The location was excellent, but be advised that you are right next to the Rialto Bridge and the crowds can be a bit daunting."
