Aqua Palace - Venice

The junior suite delivered a charming canal view, great to bask in the tranquil ambiance while enjoying the soothing sounds of church bells. Situated just a five-minute walk from major landmarks, the hotel finds itself in a peaceful area that keeps you away from the hustle of crowded alleyways yet remains conveniently close to everything worth seeing.

Mornings greeted us with a bit of noise from garbage collection, which may tick off those looking for uninterrupted sleep. The room felt more like a large bedroom rather than a spacious suite, so if you're expecting room to spread out, that could be an issue. At high tides, the access to the hotel via water taxi isn't always guaranteed, especially if you've got any mobility issues.

Great breakfasts, exceptionally nice staff.

Large room with an amazing view over the canal. Luxurious, marble bathroom.

The service was attentive, totally satisfied.

Our stay was good, particularly due to the superb location that allowed easy access to major attractions and dining options. The junior suite we booked was spacious and beautifully decorated, providing a comfortable retreat after our daily explorations. The breakfast was impressive, with a variety of hot dishes and fresh fruits that kept us satisfied every morning. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us, even allowing an early breakfast on our departure day, which was a thoughtful gesture.

Great location. Close to all the tourist sites but far enough away from the day trippers. Our room was huge and over looked one of canals. The breakfast was good.

Hotel in great location, very close to St Marks Square but felt very quiet, away from hustle and bustle. Staff very friendly and informative, yet ambience felt very discreet and personal.

This place suits me perfectly, offering amenities like wi-fi, 24-hour reception, air conditioning, and a bar/lounge area. The staff helped me with directions during my first stay. Highly recommend! Can't wait to return for Xmas.

The staff were very professional and helpful. Breakfast was excellent and the server was really nice. One morning when I slept through breakfast, she brought me a cafe latte and warm croissants to the loading dock entrance which has a place to sit and drink/eat and is totally charming. Our room was very large. The hotel is very centrally located and you can walk to mostly anywhere. One of the hotel entrances is on a canal, so it is accessible by water taxi. If you don't mind paying the extra euro's this is really nice.

Although we had 2 rooms and plenty of space, the pull-out couch was uncomfortable enough that my 6 year old wouldn't sleep in it (she ended up sleeping with us - but at least the bed was big). We had no view at all, but when opening the windows, at least we could get a lot of natural light. I didn't like the dark decor in general, but this was part of the style of the hotel.

location.lot of good restaurants nearby.

Service is typical European 4.stars. Not bad but not good.

Aqua palace has a fantastic location, just a short stroll to st marks and rialto. Our double room was comfortable, and the kettle was a nice touch! The breakfast offered a good variety, and the staff were pretty good by providing maps and even printed info on local christmas markets.

would recommend

We really enjoy our Jr. Suit room. Spacious and beautifully decorated with comfort. Great service in general. More specifically, a lady staff named Sylvia who was servicing us in the breakfast table. She's extremely helpful and attentive to meet every customer's need. The staff at reception also recommended a very good restaurant - Ae Sconte, nearby the hotel, which provide very good service and excellent quality of food. It really made our stay in Venice close to perfect.

...the small streets around the hotel are a bit noisy during weekdays.

The hotel was amazing, Lovely room, views of a small canal and perfect location. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Venice and would stay there again if I went back.

The location is incredible, it's walk from a theater and a palace. The hotel is walk from a ferry port. Very attentive and friendly attentive staff, they know their business.

This hotel exceeded our expectations. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. The bathrooms were very large and spotless. The staff was professional and friendly. The breakfast buffet was delicious and had offerings we did not see elsewhere in Italy. The hotel is a classy mix of new design and old fashioned hospitality. Our family of 5 with 2 teenage girls and grandmother loved it. We stayed for 3 nights in August. Quite close to St. Mark's square and Rialto bridge. Not noisy at night.

My husband and I were moved from a large room to a smaller room because of water problems which we did not see. However, we were compensated with a large bowl of fruit which we used at lunchtimes. Considering our rate, I was rather surprised at the huge size of our initial room. I am wondering if they put us in the wrong room, or if, in fact, they really did have a water problem.
