Castello hotels

What a delightful hotel. The staff could not have been more friendly. Our room, in its glorious position just off the garden, was cleaned daily. Breakfast was very good. Nights were quiet and peaceful - only slightly disturbed by the courting pigeons! We will be back!

We had an enjoyable break with plenty to do over the course of 3.5 days in Venice. Wandering around away from main tourist areas was interesting and far less crowded. Waterbus services are plentiful but a bit confusing. Fair amount of walking required but there are no cars and associated pollution which is good. Quite a mix of restaurants and the best value ones are away from the main tourist locations but not that far away. Very interesting tourist sites but need to allow fair bit of time to see them. We ran out of time to see all the major ones.

Id go back here if in Venice again. Five minutes to the Arsenale boat stop it took a little effort to find, it could use a more prominent sign outside., the hotel was clean, spacious, friendly and good value. The internet was free and worked, although the TV needs to be on, which is odd but do-able. The breakfast had a limited choice but was of good quality. Check with the hotel for the route from the boat stop as the maps are in Italian but the streets are in Venetian!

Beautiful small, boutique hotel on the lagoon, only a five-minute walk from St. Mark's. The staff was so helpful with information, mapping out directions, and making reservations for us non-Italian speakers! The continental breakfast was excellent, and served in a lovely small dining room. Our room, although small like many in Europe, was very comfortable. Highly recommend Venice off-season (we went in early December). There are so many fewer tourists, and temperatures are still in the high 40's. Beautiful early winter light in an unforgettable city!

This is probably the best four star hotel we have stayed at in all our worldwide travels. Pleasant and attentive staff for which nothing was too much trouble. The facilities and room were pleasant and comfortable.

I really enjoyed my experience in aqua palace. The hotel is gorgeous and the rooms are very comfortable, very clean with a large gorgeous bathroom and good size rooms. The staff was nice and helpful except I emailed them before getting there to let them know I needed a bottle of prosecco because of our anniversary they told me they would have it ready upon our arrival and that never happened. Anyways other than that no complains. The hotel offers free reliable internet has at least international cnn to watch, offers a great breakfast buffet (included with the stay). The location is great as it is walking distance just 2 blocks from the rialto bridge and therefore the vaporetto station and is also super close to St marks square. Theres a beautiful smaller canal outside where the gondolas pass and is beautiful to watch. Highly recommended and I would stay again as well.

We had a lovely 4 nights stay at Ruzzini Palace, on arrival by private transfer we were told we had been upgraded to a deluxe room overlooking the square, from then on in we couldn't have been happier with the hotel, from the modern and clean facilities to the lovely staff. The breakfast buffet lacked a wide choice and that is my only criticism, but the food was nice. I would definitely recommend

Very nice old Palazzio , we had a huge suite overlooking the canal, very clean and full of antiques. This is not a uniform type chain hotel, but a real feel of Venice. The staff were very helpful. Be aware if you are at the back the bells from San Francesca della Vigna ring half hourly from 6:30am to 11. They did not disturb us and the church is very interesting and beautiful , get in early and you'll bee the only people in. The hotel is located in Castello , walking times - 5 minutes from Ospedale water bus stop( for airport boats) , 10 minutes from San Marco, 15 from Rialto, 5 from Arsenale. There is a small supermarket on the street and a wine shop, with cheap decent local wine available by the litre.
