GrandCanal-Red

Hotel Description

Welcome to GrandCanal-Red, a charming three-star hotel nestled in the heart of Venice’s historic San Polo district. Situated at 2775 Calle Centani, this well-positioned accommodation offers guests an authentic Venetian experience while maintaining excellent standards of comfort and service. With an impressive guest rating of 8.7, GrandCanal-Red stands out as one of the more highly-regarded establishments in its category, consistently receiving praise from visitors for its blend of traditional character and modern amenities.

The hotel’s location in San Polo places guests in one of Venice’s oldest and most characteristic districts, known for its winding streets, beautiful architecture, and relative tranquility compared to the more tourist-heavy areas of the city. From GrandCanal-Red, you’ll find yourself within walking distance of the magnificent Rialto Bridge, one of Venice’s most iconic landmarks spanning the Grand Canal. The vibrant Rialto Market, where locals shop for fresh produce and seafood every morning, is also nearby, offering a glimpse into authentic Venetian daily life. The district is home to several noteworthy churches, including the Church of San Giacomo di Rialto, said to be the oldest in Venice, and the majestic Church of San Polo with its stunning artworks. The celebrated Scuola Grande di San Rocco, housing an impressive collection of Tintoretto masterpieces, is another cultural highlight within easy reach of the hotel.

GrandCanal-Red’s strategic location offers the perfect balance between accessibility and serenity. While you’ll enjoy relatively peaceful surroundings, the hotel’s position within the San Polo district means you’re never far from Venice’s major attractions. St. Mark’s Square and the Doge’s Palace can be reached by a scenic walk through Venice’s enchanting labyrinth of streets or via a short vaporetto (water bus) ride. The fashionable shops of the Mercerie and the artistic treasures of the Gallerie dell’Accademia are similarly accessible. For guests looking to explore beyond the immediate area, the hotel’s proximity to vaporetto stops ensures convenient travel throughout the city and to outlying islands such as Murano, famous for its glass-making, and Burano, known for its colorful houses and lace production. With its stellar 8.7 rating reflecting guests’ satisfaction with both accommodations and location, GrandCanal-Red offers an ideal base for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the timeless beauty and cultural richness of Venice while enjoying comfortable, well-regarded lodgings in one of the city’s most characteristic districts.

  Loved the size of the property, and the location was great. Considering the great location it was quiet at night for sleeping. Very secure also.

• Veronique from Canada – 25 June 2024 (9/10)

  The location was perfect even more then we expected and the person who received us was really gentle and explained very well about our stay in the house and even suggest us a very good restaurant not too far …….it was the best meal of sea food .Paradiso perduto !!!
  
  What could be improved: Maybe blinds in the kitchen when the lights are on ??

• Gina from United States – 24 May 2024 (9/10)

  Views onto the grand canal at water level
  
  What could be improved: The dark alleyway to get to the main gate. Uncomfortable late at night for single women

• Tiffany from United States – 2 June 2023 (9/10)

  it was an updated apartment right on the canal. the man was helpful to show everything. it had almost all supplies. it had a washer & dryer which we appreciated traveling 3 weeks!! we loved the place!
  
  What could be improved: short ceilings if you are tall but we didn’t mind. so mainly we loved it.

• Elaine from United Kingdom – 23 May 2022 (9/10)

  The location. The view from the bedroom windows is out of this world. You can hear the grand canal
  lap up against the wall and see the gondoliers getting ready for work and the grand canal working.
  It is magical. Feels like you are In an exclusive local area. Minutes walk from restaurants and bars and
  wonderful little shops and beautiful squares and churches.
  
  What could be improved: It was really difficult finding the place 2 minute walk took 40 minutes but it was dark and wet and we
  were tired and hungry and it is worth finding.

• Angela from Australia – 27 September 2024 (6/10)

  Location was nice and bathroom was lovely but that was about it. Bed was really hard, kitchen was small. For the price we paid, I didn’t really think it was value for money. They also had the bright lights of the canal come into the bedroom as the windows had no curtains.
  
  What could be improved: As above.

• David from United Kingdom – 18 November 2022 (6/10)

  The location was super, the apartment was clean and it had everything we required.
  
  What could be improved: The welcome was as terrible. I understood check-in was between 2.00 – 8.00pm, we arrived a minute to 8.00 and they tried to charge us £40.00 late arrival even although we arrived before 8.00. Where was our "welcome to Grand Canal – Red and Venice?" The attitude was unprofessional and disrespectful, they even tried to charge us an extra night local tax. Due to 19degree maximum heating temperature the apartment was very cold, we had to watch the TV with the duvet wrapped around us.

• Massimiliano from Switzerland – 31 March 2025 (9/10)

  Posizione incomparabile a bordo del Canal Grande, appartamento molto accogliente e ben ristrutturato, staff gentile e disponibile

• Elisabetta from Italy – 18 November 2024 (7/10)
