Top San Marco Hotel Reviews

Hotel Saturnia & International

10/10 Excellent

"The Hotel was amazing. Great location. Nice bar. The staff were exceptional and so very helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel."

Hotel Montecarlo

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 4 nights at Hotel Monte Carlo, and had to make multiple reservations due to airline cancellations (on UA’s part). We fortunately booked the last room for one night, which was smaller than the other nights’ stay and were concerned we would have to change rooms and pay more—yet, thanks to the very accommodating staff, neither occurred. Additionally, the helpful staff arranged for a private taxi to the port of Fusina to embark on our Viking cruise. The transport was convenient, quick, and while expensive, well worth the over $200 to save us from lugging suitcases through the myriad streets and bridges of Venice and the multiple means of transport to arrive at this industrial port (Miguel even helped with our luggage to a nearby canal). Additionally, the location is perfect, 2 blocks from St Mark’s, the Doge’s Palace, the Square and the wonderful (yet costly) cafes that line the Square. Yet, the narrow street was far enough away so that our room was quiet and peaceful-and after a long day of sightseeing, appreciated. Although our room was tiny, it was impeccably clean, with small touches that made our stay delightful. We never partook in the breakfast, since there are so many cafes nearby to explore and experience the vibe of this truly unique city. One good find was at The Correr Museum, (no admission necessary), go through security and at the top of the stairs it’s on the left: Elegant rooms, usually quiet and relatively inexpensive."

Palazzo San Luca

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was absolutely wonderful, helpful in every way requested. Our room was clean, the bathroom fixtures were all updated and working well. Shower water was hot. It was late October and the heat was on in the room, that was very nice. There are espresso makers in the rooms, Nespresso, with pods restocked every morning. The hotel keeps a list of good, vetted restaurants in the area. We tried three of them and all were good. The hotel is very well located. it’s one block from the Grand Canal, about 50 yards from a grocery store with a good wine stock, about 50 yards from a bank with ATM, and about 100 yards from an excellent pastry and coffee shop called Pasticceria Marchini Time. You absolutely don’t want to miss it. There is no elevator, but the steps are very friendly, modest heights risers and short flights to landings and turns rather than one long flight from floor to floor."

Hotel Cavalletto e Doge Orseolo

10/10 Excellent

"The staff, location, and overall stay were exceptional! The hotel was very clean, with spacious rooms and large bathrooms. They even provided complimentary water and sparkling wine, which was a lovely touch. The surrounding area was beautiful, and all the major tourist attractions were within walking distance. Breakfast was also included and enjoyable. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, making our stay even more memorable. Highly recommended! We would definitely love to stay here again. From Canada!"

Rosa Salva Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was located an easy walk from St. Marks Square. Rooms are small, but well organized. This area is super busy, very filled with tourists at all hours, but our hotel and room were quiet and calm. We especially appreciated the private water taxi transfer from the train station. It was well worth the beautiful experience, and our guide led us right to the hotel which was invaluable!"

Hotel Bella Venezia

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very helpful throughout our 2 night stay. Breakfast had a large selection and variety. Although the room was small the exposed beam ceiling helped to make it feel bigger. Shower is extremely small. I personally would have preferred a bigger shower and no bidet but I’m sure others feel different. The variety of bathroom amenities was also helpful."
