We arrived later than expected only to find that they had upgraded us to a suite with great canal views from six windows and large marble bathroom. Definitely not the normal European experience! Great staff and great food combined with great location.

We booked the hotel after reading such good reviews on trip advisor and we were not disappointed. We arrived straight to the hotel by private water taxi, a bit extravagent at £120 euros but a real treat and makes the trip from the airport to the hotel effortless. The reception staff were all very pleasant and spoke great English. Our... More

Hotel Dona Palace is a lovely hotel at the intersection of a couple of small canals just behind San Marco. The area is quiet at night but the couple of surrounding streets have several restaurants and wine bars. No internet available in the hotel, but there is an internet point very close by and wifi in the wine bar next... More

The Dona Palace is very near to San Marco, but when you step into the side patio you could be a million miles away. It was one of the few places I saw in Venice where you could actually sit in a private area and watch the gondolas glide by - the tourists thought we were residents and kept getting... More

Just steps away from San Marco this is the sister hotel to the more economical All'Angelo Hotel. My husband and I splurged for the junior suite here which was HUGE. Huge room and huge bathroom on a beautiful canal. Near the internet cafe and three restaurants attached to it. Breakfasts were enormous and delicious with American coffee. We left at... More

The hotel is located a few hundred yards from St Mark's Square and the Bridge of Sighs, and yet is in a wonderfully quiet position, down a small side alley. This makes it tricky to find at first, but the directions on the hotel's website are good. My room was spacious with a huge, comfortable bed. In fact the small,... More

The hotel is a stone throw from San Marcos, although not very easy to find. Shops and restaurants abound, starting within 50 meters of the hotel. The rooms are big, if you consider European standards, but would be average for US rooms. But the service is what takes it home. The staff is friendly and they bend over backwards to... More

We stayed here for one night in March 2012. We took a private water taxi from the airport so it was an easy drop off. The location of the hotel itself is fantastic! It is a short walk to St. Mark's Square and also not far from the public water transportation which we used when traveling to the train station... More

I stayed here for 3 nights in March 2012. The hotel was a bit tricky to find at night but I was thrilled to find that our room overlooked a canal, little did I know that it would be the noisiest hotel I have stayed in! Don't underestimate the volume of traffic on these canals. It starts very early and... More
