Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were quiet as requested, they didn't quite live up to the expectations set by the website, and they could use a bit of a touch-up. On the positive side, the service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff who even arranged a private boat ride to Murano. The location was superb, within walking distance of iconic landmarks like St Mark's Cathedral and the Basilica. Dining was pleasant, with a variety of delicious options. The facilities were adequate but nothing extraordinary.
I absolutely loved my stay at Comfort Suites. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable, and I particularly appreciated the extra privacy with the door between the sofa bed area. The service was exceptional, with the staff being so warm and accommodating to all our requests, from ironing facilities to adaptor plugs. The location was perfect for exploring Venice, with everything I needed nearby. The dining experience was enjoyable, with well-prepared food varieties, although it could have had more options. Overall, a fantastic hotel that offers great value for money.
Staying at this hotel was a fantastic experience overall. The rooms were very spacious, with high ceilings, a big king-sized bed, and all the usual amenities. It was a bit disappointing that there were limited English TV speaking channels, but the hotel goes the extra mile by offering mimosas as well. The garden looked lovely although it was too cold to enjoy during my visit, but I can imagine it being a great spot for afternoon drinks in warmer weather.
I had an incredible stay at the hotel! The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable with a breathtaking view of the canals passing by the Bridge of Sighs. The service was top-notch, from helping with restaurant reservations to making our visit extra special. The location couldn't have been better, just steps away from St Mark's Square and the main water taxi station. The dining experience was exquisite, especially on the balcony overlooking the canals. However, the facilities fell short of expectations, and the price could be a bit steep for some travelers.
My stay at this hotel was just what I had hoped for in lovely Venice. The rooms were clean, atmospheric, and charming, although a bit old style and with carpeting, they were very comfortable. The morning noise and food smells were a small inconvenience but didn't overshadow the overall positive experience.
I absolutely adored my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spotless and extremely comfortable, offering a lovely view of the canal. The attention to detail with the door between the sofa bed area for extra privacy was a delightful surprise. The hotel was even more impressive than the pictures portrayed, offering a spacious and cozy retreat right in the heart of Venice.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely stunning, with clean and comfortable rooms offering breathtaking views over the canal. The traditional Venetian style really added to the charm, and the friendly and helpful service made the experience even more delightful. The location couldn't have been better for exploring the beauty of Venice, but the dining experience, although good, had some areas for improvement.
I was thrilled with my stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-appointed, ready before check-in time, which was a great perk. The service by the accommodating staff, especially the Filipinos, was top-notch, making my stay even more pleasant. The location was perfect for relaxation, just a stone's throw away from St Mark's Square, and the dining experience, although decent, had room for improvement.
The hotel's rooms, although a little small, were simply wonderful with exposed beams and well-appointed, offering a comfortable stay. The higher nightly rate was justified by the fabulous view from our friends' room. The service was friendly and helpful, making our stay enjoyable. The location on a canal near St Mark's Square was impressive and convenient for exploring. Dining options were decent, providing a good start for sightseeing. Overall, a charming hotel with great service and a picturesque setting.
