  Location is super cute and you can walk to everything. The suite is sizable, stylish and had everything I needed.

• Lisa from United Kingdom – 30 March 2025 (10/10)

  My husband and I stayed in the superior double room which was beautiful spacious. and spotless.
  The breakfast was lovely and plentiful.
  The staff could not do enough for you very kind and friendly.
  The location was in the quieter part of Venice but close enough to take a short walk to everything.
  Overall we highly recommend this hotel and would most certainly stay here again.
  Beautiful hotel in a beautiful city .
  
  What could be improved: Nothing.

• Olga from Netherlands – 12 March 2025 (9/10)

  Amazing hotel! It's quite small, only 6 rooms, and you get truly boutique experience. The rooms are very spacious and beautifully decorated; they even have description of all the materials used in a room. Staff is so friendly and attentive. And the neighbourhood is the best – easy way from the airport by ferry, very few tourists, but 10-15 min walk from all the main attractions. A lot of great cafes and bars in 5min walk.
  
  What could be improved: Breakfast is typical European (pastries and sandwiches), but was ok for us.

• Daniel from United Kingdom – 9 March 2025 (10/10)

  Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, taking the time to point out the local highlights. Breakfast was excellent and the fresh coffee superb. Furnishings were stunning with a merano glass chandelier in our room. Room and bathroom were very clean & the free mini bar was very much appreciated!
  
  What could be improved: Honestly, nothing.

• David from United Kingdom – 1 March 2025 (10/10)

  The location is great, close enough to everything you might want to see, but away from the overcrowding Venice is infamous for. The staff were exceptional, all of the team were so helpful, polite and knowledgeable. The room was large and stylish.
  
  What could be improved: The bathroom was not very big.

  Hotel Review: A Perfect Blend of History and Modern Comfort
  
  I recently stayed at this fantastic hotel in Venice, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly greeted and welcomed with a delightful coffee, setting the tone for a truly exceptional stay.
  
  The hotel itself is housed in a stunning historic building, full of charm and character, yet seamlessly equipped with all modern conveniences. The blend of old-world elegance with contemporary comforts made for a unique and luxurious experience.
  
  The rooms were beautifully appointed, offering both style and functionality, and the service throughout my stay was impeccable. Every detail, from the friendly and attentive staff to the well-maintained facilities, contributed to a truly memorable visit.
  
  If you’re looking for a hotel that captures the essence of Venice while providing top-tier comfort, this is the place to stay. Highly recommended!

  This place is so elegant- you’re basically staying in a beautiful palace. The room was amazing, large and comfortable. There are complimentary tea-making facilities with pastries and fruit in the common area. Wonderfully quiet and serene. The staff are always helpful without being intrusive, and kindly offered me some suggestions for restaurants and activities. The location is convenient if you arrive by Alilaguna boat from the airport. It’s only a 5 or 6 minute walk from the Ospedale stop. The area is quiet and not very touristy, but with some excellent artisan shops and nice reasonably priced restaurants.
  
  What could be improved: I was a little disappointed with the shower, which was quite small considering the size of the room; however, the bathroom was cozy and warm, and immaculately clean.
  The location meant quite a lot of walking to get to the tourist attractions and museums. I’m pretty sure I’d still be wandering around lost in the labyrinth if it hadn’t been for Google Maps and GPS!😅 Also be aware that the breakfast is basically continental; slices of ham and cheese and boiled eggs are available but don’t expect an English breakfast. That said, the pastry and croissants are incredible!

• Myloslava from United Kingdom – 16 February 2025 (10/10)

  An absolute gem in Venice! The hotel couldn’t be more perfect for a weekend escape. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, the rooms are nice and cozy and a lot bigger than most hotels in Venice, even the room cleaning was the most thorough we had in years. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a perfect stay in Venice!

• Daniela from Czech Republic – 16 February 2025 (10/10)

  The hotel itself I found to be a piece of art and history. Great location, very clean, kind and helpful staff, especially Sabrina. Many thanks for making our stay memorable.

• Clark from United Kingdom – 16 February 2025 (10/10)

  We felt the Pallazo dei Mori was an excellent hotel, tucked away in the Castello district, five minutes walk from the Ospedale vaporetto station or 15 minutes walk from the Doge's palace, if you don't get lost. The staff could not have been more welcoming and volunteered many tips on how to get the best out of the visit. The hotel itself, though small, is beautiful and we would certainly use it again.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to add.
