Venice hotels near Ponte di Rialto

Pros: Room, location

Cons: Breakfast room was a bit small.

Pros: Staff was excellent

Pros: Fantastic room The breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The location is amazing. It’s perfect for exploring Venice at its heart. Breakfast is quite good as well.

Cons: Our room was literally a door right beside the counter to check in that we thought was a closet. To enter and exit we had to walk within a foot of the concierge every time we exited the room. It was an incredibly awkward space, on top of knowing any noise we made would most likely be heard not only by the concierge but also any guests in the lobby. It was, as far as I know, the only room in the hotel on the main floor, and should have been marked as such when booking the room. I would have never booked that room had I known what it was. On top of that, the room itself in no way resembled any photos online nor did it feel like a 4 star hotel in the least. If you’d told me it was a 2 star, I’d say that was stretching it even. The staff is not friendly to tourists. We asked for some information and were greeted with groans. One man at the counter even flat out lied, tried telling us it would 72 euros to get a water taxi to take us to the train station when you can literally get a day pass for 25 euros. Had we not been through the water taxi journey the day prior, we could’ve easily been scammed. We also got yelled at for trying to leave the hotel with our key, even though we’d done it prior many times. Somehow they didn’t tell us this information. Be warned the hotel also locks its doors after a certain time, so you can’t even get back into the property without ringing a buzzer and hoping the concierge lets you back in. I’d definitely not stay here again, and wish we hadn’t. It out a damper on what could’ve been a much more enjoyable time in Venice.

Pros: Kind staff who answered our many questions regarding directions, restaurant recommendations, and more. A beautiful hotel with exquisite rooms and comfortable beds!

Cons: A bit tricky to find while carrying heavy luggage. Ask for specific directions, from hotel, if you're walking. Otherwise take a water taxi from the Rialto vaporetto stop to the hotel because one side of the hotel is on a canal.

Pros: Great location and very comfortable.

Pros: Traveling with my teen daughter, we booked the first floor (handicap equipped) room for a quick one night stay before leaving Italy; as a result of the room's location, it was very reasonably priced (ended up being right next to the front desk but quite honestly, once you got into the room, you'd never know). It was quiet and like a vault. The room and bathroom were spacious, comfortable, clean, well decorated. Front desk staff were very pleasant. The breakfast room and the breakfast itself was fabulous! It's a lovely hotel, and great location from which to walk to sights. Venice and this hotel was the only place we'd stayed longer on our 3 1/2 week European trip...

Pros: Staff made every effort to make our stay welcoming, couldn’t fault room, location, staff or breakfast. We used the concierge service from the airport to hotel and return which made our visit totally stress free.

Cons: Couldn’t fault.

Pros: excellent location

Cons: Staff service was poor at beeakfast. Staff has hidden from us the fact that the water taxi to Murano was for free.

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 room was the most beautiful room I have stayed in. Well laid out and incredible decor. The whole hotel is like a museum and a real feast for the senses. Service from all staff was personable, efficient and friendly. This really is an excellent hotel.

Cons: I thought the breakfast could be better. Considering this is 5 star and you pay for that service, you expect a full spread. They have a selection for breakfast which is included but anything cooked you must pay extra. Not necessary.

Pros: Location, bedrooms, staff

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The friendliness and courtesy of the staff and the immaculate appearance of the facility

Pros: The ambience at the hotel was delightful. The decor was amazing in the public areas which reflected the fact that this was originally a palace. Being on the Grand Canal was enormously convenient. Water taxis were available immediately outside the door as were the beautiful gondolas.

Cons: We booked the private boat function for the night of the Redeemer and watched the most amazing firework display. However we should have been collected afterwards at 12.30 am to return to the hotel. We weren't picked up till nearly 3.00am as there were no water taxis available!!! This was clearly unacceptable and we eventually had to travel back in an overcrowded boat!! Not to be repeated !!!

Pros: Great hotel excellent location and extremely friendly staff

Pros: Excellent/

Cons: No 110V outlets. No USB outlets. No coffee in room. Not enough pillows. Poor quality pillows.

Pros: Professional staff, good location.

Cons: Chose this property because it is on the grand canal, what it doesn't state clearly is that only 6 rooms actually have a view, the rest have windows looking onto eachother inside the building.

Pros: Everything, it was charming.

Cons: No points at all.

Pros: The hotel is beautiful, like staying in a museum. Having breakfast surrounded by frescoes was a unique experience

Cons: I asked the front desk to help me book a train to Florence the night prior to checking out. They told me that they could not do this for me, but not to worry as the trains don't sell out anyway. Unfortunately when we showed up at the train station, the train to Florence we needed was sold out ruining our plans for the afternoon. I stayed in two other hotels on this stay in Italy and in both the staff booked train tickets for me

Pros: Location, staff, charm

Cons: Rooms are a bit tired but nevertheless the price/quality ratio is outstanding and therefore I cannot complain about the rooms

Pros: Location on the canal was great but a good 1/2 hour walk to the St Marks area.

Cons: Very very expensive restaurant

Pros: The service was excellent. The hotel is just absolutely stunning. The tranquility. The room service out of this world, so efficient. The view so beautiful especially from the roof terrace. Breakfast delicious.

Pros: This was a wonderful place to stay for our honeymoon. It is a very beautiful, well preserved building with its own gondola stop, only 3 min walk from St Mark’s square. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The bed was so comfortable!

Pros: Lovede erything about it!

Cons: Everything was perfect

Pros: Great breakfast. Very helpful staff. Clean. Great location.

Cons: Pillows too thin.

Pros: The location

Pros: Location was convenient to Venice main attractions

Cons: Dated facilities. Cold staff.

Pros: Excellent service, very comfortable and excellent location

Pros: Location was fantastic, near everything but without the noise.

Cons: Our room was a little dark & the window opened up into a very small enclosed area so made it a little claustrophobic.

Pros: The hotel is 2 minute walk from st Marc square once you know where you are. We booked a canal view room and we could see the bridge of sigh out of our window. The staff was helpful and got our room ready early because my toddler daughter was very tired after a long travel day. Hotel staff also gave great food recommendations. We did the hotel organized water taxi tour on the grand canal, which departs and arrives from the hotel door on the canal. It was a once in a lifetime experience. Highly recommend!

Cons: Elevator was very small.

Pros: All of the staff was friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and I would definitely stay here again if I ever go back to Venice.

Pros: The staff, they were all helpful and friendly. We were delayed for 1 day, they changed our booking at no extra cost to meet our needs. This was a real help to us!

Cons: No real outside space for a drink by the canal!

Pros: A lovely hotel in a great part of Venice, near St. Marks square. Clean rooms, nice breakfast.

Cons: Our standard room was tiny. We could barely open our 2 suitcases up on the floor side by side at the foot of the bed and pass by to get to the washroom. The room was just bigger than the bed.

Pros: The best thing about hotel is it’s entrance being directly accessible by speed boat (water taxi) & historic San Marco square is behind & hardly 5-7mins walk
