Venice hotels near Basilica di San Marco

Pros: Great location - footsteps from San Marco. Staff treated us like royalty. Without exception. They were so polite and went the extra mile, for example when we asked for help to find a Gondola ride at 11.00pm, the concierge personally took us through the streets to a place he knew would still operate at that time of night. The music in the bar was fabulous; the singer on Friday evening had the voice of an angel and had a great repertoire. The bar manager recommended the most amazing cocktail- it was blue and so refreshing - I forget the name but just ask for it. Breakfast is served in a beautiful palatial salon with walls adorned with frescos and Venetian chandeliers. Great selection and of the highest quality; fresh fruit, cakes, prosciutto, eggs, cereals; smoked salmon, smoked trout, juices, Prosecco and the best cappuccino I have ever tasted - ever. And to our delight we were offered as many cups as we wanted by the most cheerful staff. Our room was beautiful and elegant and in keeping with the Palace that it is. We had a dressing room with plenty of space, a good secure safe, a sitting room, and the most comfortable bed I have ever experienced in a hotel. The bathroom was sumptuous and stocked with lovely shampoos and the like and bathrobes and slippers. (Room 260).

Cons: Nothing at all.

Pros: One of the most beautiful hotels that I had the pleasure of staying in Just perfect

Cons: Not a thing

Pros: Lovely hotel very close to St marks but quiet ( we visited end Feb ), great service and nothing was to much for the staff. Would stay their again without hesitation!

Pros: I liked the location Staff were very helpful We had upgrade to bigger room

Cons: Nothing

Cons: The staff was very rude. Not the standard for a 5 star hotel.

Pros: Hotel and Staff were very nice!

Cons: Air conditioning did not cool the room down enough. We had to ask for fans.

Pros: The hotel has a great location and the breakfast was great.

Cons: The room was a little hot.

Pros: This is the best five star hotel that I ever visited, the staff is super nice and helpful. Everything is clean and beautiful in the classic Venetian style.

Pros: Perfect location steps from st marks square. Service impeccable

Cons: Pricey but for the room size and Venise was still an ok value

Pros: Perfect hotel for holidays

Pros: The Concierge and front desk staff were excellent responded to all requests and were highly professional

Cons: The web page suggests you can see the lagoon from terraces a key usp. This is actually a superior private area and is misleading. Breakfast was adequate although friendly staff didn’t explain what was and wasn’t included I’d have expected the choice of fresh cooked eggs for the price. Dinner outside was disappointing the chairs uncomfortable and without cushions meals ambience disrupted by passers by who almost knocked the waiter over.

Pros: Excellent location. Staff were good and helpful. Warm welcome. Got a complimentary upgrade. Good breakfast collection. Nice touch overall from all staff we interacted with.

Cons: Nothing at all.

Pros: Breakfast was great and hotel room was superb. Best hotel i stayed at in Italy. Room 101 suite is the one to get. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone staing in venice. The restaurant at the hotel was amazing as well 10% discount

Cons: The only thing i did not like was the room was not ready. To be honest though that happens everywhere so what can you do.

Pros: Staff was wonderful, location right in the heart of Venice everything was perfect

Pros: The hotel is in a fabulous location, very close to St Marks Square and in a lovely area with boutique stores. The breakfast was great - I am coeliac and they offered me plenty of GF options. The staff were very helpful, professional, funny and polite. I used their private transfer service from the airport and back again which although is expensive, for me was well worth it - hassle free and the private speedboat was great - kids loved it and sped the whole process up. I would very much recommend this hotel.

Cons: Only minor thing was for us, the beds were a little uncomfortable but it was a small thing.

Pros: Place of the hotel.

Cons: No kettle in the rooms.

Pros: The perfect place to stay while visiting Venice! Close to everything, wonderful staff who went out of their way to be helpful and accommodating. We felt completely spoiled! Wonderfully romantic room and delicious breakfast in the morning...would definitely stay again!

Pros: Room was fantastic! Very big, big bathroom, and it was old style Italy which we enjoyed. The location was fantastic! 3 min walk to St Marks Square - amazing! Breakfast was the best we had in Italy! We would definitely stay there again! Ray Charles actually stayed there!!!!

Pros: The staff and facilities were great. Food for breakfast also very good. The bar and restaurant are both very good!! Great service. Great quality. And ask for Vincenzo in the restaurant. He's awesome! He and all the staff work hard and together to make your experience special.

Pros: Staff was very helpful and very attentive.

Pros: I loved the rich breakfast in the outside garden. The location was amazing and very close to the center, at the same time the room was quite.

Cons: - The photos and description of the room by booking.com has nothing to do with reality. I booked a classic 3 beds room. However i got a room with double bed + sleeping sofa, which was not even ready for a 3rd person!! I told them that i didn’t book a room with sleeping sofa since we are 3 adults and by booking it was mentioned that the room has double bed + single bed. The solution was: they gave me a smaller room and through a single bed in the middle of the room. I had to wait almost one hour to get this ugly solution at 11 pm ready. They promised to investigate in the morning, but no one talked to me as nothing happened. At the evening when I entered my room, I found a nice basket of fruits in my room although I left the sign (don’t disturb) !!! Who does enter a quest room without his permission and with clear sign Not to disturb? We had our private belongings everywhere!! Such an action is unacceptable for such a prestigious hotel. - The toilet was not that much clean since I found hair on towels from other quests! - The receptionists are very arrogant and not even saying good morning or good evening. I said twice good morning without getting a reply! Small things but give you the feeling you are not welcomed. - If you want to use the iron, they will not send it to your room like all other hotels, because of security reasons!! No idea what that means. You have to run around the hotel by yourself and get in the basement to open a very small room where the iron is. Note: We have been in the 3rd floor! 3 nights I did not sleep well on that uncomfortable bed the gave. They made my first visit to Venedig the WORST EVER. The funny thing is: they didn’t even ask me like all other hotels in the world by check out how was my stay in the hotel. Because they simply don’t care. It is summer and high season and your satisfaction will not change anything. I visited 4 hotels in Italy in 2 weeks. All of them were 4 stars hotels.

Pros: Excellent Location and very friendly staff at the reception. Good air conditioning, clean room.

Cons: -a little bit old furniture and stile in the room -staff at breakfast time not as helpful as other hotels, or at the reception of this hotel

Pros: Good location, near St Marks Square.

Cons: Room was supposed to be three single beds but was a large double plus a single. Noisy room over restaurant with music. Dark, old-fashioned room and furnishings. Old-fashioned bathroom fittings and no ventilation except the window. Generally unfriendly staff (except the chamber maid). Mediocre breakfast. Disappointed, especially at the price. Would not stay there again.

Pros: Spacious room very clean excellent staff close to all main attractions with an exceptional restaurant

Cons: The bath water was not hot enough, more lounge space

Pros: the view from the terrace

Cons: wifi was not good enough the breakfast at the terrace was a great experience unfortunately someone smoke next to our table... and ruined the experience...

Pros: Nice lobby

Cons: Bathrooms weren’t cleaned properly upon arrival. Staff were quite rude at times.

Pros: The view on the lagoon. Pay for the upgrade, its worth it! Also breakfast on the terrace is AMAZING!

Pros: Chocolates each night were such a sweet treat. Concierge were helpful and friendly. Thank you!

Pros: Good location

Cons: I could not see any thing except next building

Pros: Accident building which provides unique traveling experience in Venice.

Cons: In room facilities are very dated, power outlet was broken and not working properly

Pros: Location, architecture and staff.

Cons: Not one thing.

Pros: The Hotel boulding

Cons: The room was so bad. The windows open a little dark courtyard.If sombody can see it before the booking never buy it for this price. So if you want to go The Hotel Danieli never use the booking .com. The wifi didnt work in the room 250.

Pros: Perfect location really nice favility

Pros: View from the terrace

Cons: No atmosphere in the hotel. No food served apart from lunch dinner and breakfast. I arrived at around 10 pm- no food. If you miss lunch - no food... Food should should be available all the time in the hotel. Food in the restaurant during is ok, not great at those prices.,

Pros: It was beautiful. Rooms were amazing and clean.

Cons: Fairy expensive but given its history and location it was worth it.

Pros: Everything was really perfect Food , service and emplacement was very good

Pros: breakfast good staff very nice

Pros: Overall it was in the good location and the staff were nice.

Cons: Buffet place seems little small to move around as we have to give a way to other customers by moving from the chair. Better management of chairs would help. Also, the emergency pull in the restroom could be written with red and place in such a way that customers will not pull thinking as a light switch, as I did that :))

Pros: Location was very good, and easily found. Room was OK in size, and bathroom pretty spacious and well equipped. breakfast was ok with nice professional team. good wi-fi

Cons: The facility has a lot of things falling short of the 4 stars hotel it presumes to be: reception is ok but very cold attitude. They will not go the extra mile in any circumstances (like when we left at 7:05 o'clock we could not get a cup of coffee because dining room opens at 7:15) - come on!! and many other examples. Room was ok but outdated, curtain full of stains, a bit smelly unless you open the window. A very small tv without proportion to the size of the room and an unreasonable distant from the bed. TV set itself very cheap and inferior in quality and sound, hardly any foreign channels. bed was bumpy (probably old mattress, hence not so comfortable, blanket was put on bed with no cover or blanket case. No complementary water or any other perk in a very expensive superior room, which is really odd and unlike what is commonly acceptable. Coffee kit in the room- really of poor quality and miserly selection. so when it comes to value for money- there is a huge gap!! they charge way too much money for what they give.

Pros: Staff

Cons: Nothing everything good

Pros: Location.

Cons: Staff is VERY unfriendly. Room was very outdated. Mattress and pillows were very uncomfortable. Bathroom shower was not working properly and it is very uncomfortable to take a shower in it.

Pros: Location, very closed to the pier, and center, friendly staff. The room is very nice with old time touch of Venice with all amenities you need, especially Loccitan stuff.

Cons: None

Pros: Excellent staff, great room that matched website, quality breakfast, globally diverse guests and a great location.

Cons: A few mosquitoes in the room.

Pros: Location, atmosphere, good breakfast, comfortable and very clean

Cons: Breakfast staff were not friendly

Pros: Good location comfortable and clean

Pros: Location was perfect, near enough to san marco but away from the crowds. Room was large for our family, located off a quiet square so was quiet. The AC was excellent, so we had great nights of sleep in cool air. The morning supervisor at the front desk was extremely knowledgable and professional and ensured that we had what we needed. I cant think of any way our hotel experience in Venice could have been better.

Cons: All was good

Pros: We had 4 amazing days enjoying Venice. The hotel was clean and beautiful. They were very nice with our dog. Great breakfast. They also provided very nice suggestions for dinner.

Pros: Great central location but quiet, great family room, friendly and very helpful reception staff

Pros: Made sure we needed anything and breakfast was awesome.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything was perfect. Really modern hotel for Venice. We stayed only for a night and had to catch a really early flight out, so the hotel prepared our breakfast and sent them to our room at night for us in the morning. Receptionist was really helpful and wished we stayed another night.

Pros: Great location. Good authentic hotel.

Cons: Breakfast could have been better

Pros: Breakfast was fantastic! The hotel is super charming and Hans was a remarkable help to us.

Pros: Location

Cons: No dislikes

Pros: Everything about the hotel , location , staff , speed to checkin / checkout , water taxi perfect .....

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great location! Close to main attractions Excellent breakfast

Cons: Our room location was toward the back alley and was noisy. The air conditioner was tune into heat for winter. But it wasnt cold enough outside. Had to leave windows open for fresh air and thats why it was noisy.

Pros: The hotel is excellently located. We emailed ahead and they arranged gluten free breakfast options. The room was small but very traditional which we loved and had a modern bathroom!

Cons: One of the staff members Pier, was exceptionally rude. We nearly missed our boat due to his moodyness! Otherwise I would highly recommend!

Pros: This hotel was right at the water taxi station. As soon as we walked off the boat we were there. It had a great restaurant and our room overlooked a beautiful church. Aside from that we were a few minutes walk from all the major sites int he area.

Cons: No

Pros: Location was perfect

Cons: Cleaning supplies had a very strong fragrance

Pros: We received a room in the back portion of the building, away from the main building that directly overlooks the lagoon. The room we received was still very nice, and we got it for a great price (seemingly way less than I would expect for this location), so I think that's totally fair. This hotel is literally a 5 minute walk from San Marco Square, the main tourist center for Venice. The room was "Venetian" in decorations but not old feeling, the bathroom was very lovely. It had a rainfall shower and a bidet and all was spotless. Our room had a small balcony just overlooked a tiny courtyard. I don't think all rooms had this, but i did enjoy it. I thought the bed was a little hard at first but I ended up getting a good night's sleep. Also, there were two extra pillows in the wardrobe, which is an uncommonly nice touch. Breakfast was included and was much better than I expected. There were pastries, nice cheeses, soft scrambled eggs, prosciutto, fresh juices, yogurt, granola, fresh fruit, and of course coffee. It was all high quality. We found it very convenient that the Water Buses stop right in front of the hotel, we were able to take the Alilaguna boat straight from the airport and drop our bags with almost no extra walking.

Cons: It was great that the room had air conditioning, however it never got quite down to the temperature we set it to. We realize we are americans used to sleeping with our room cold, so some air con was better than none, but if you sleep hot it might be a slight concern. I've read elsewhere about italy setting limits to the amount of air conditioning that can be used, so I'm wondering if that is the reason rather than the unit not keeping up.

Pros: breakfast was the best. super location, 1 block to St. Marks square.

Cons: small room
