Castello hotels

Very nice hotel and good location, but best of all was the exceptional service we got from the hostess/waitress/cook for breakfast. She was very pleasant, attentive (enough not too much), and food and coffee were excellent! Thanks!

Nice hotel, clean room, friendly staff, excellent breakfast buffet, had a nice time at the hotel

We decided to Celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary with a trip to Venice, an early morning flight from Manchester with a Waterbus transfer from the Airport had us on the Realto Bridge in the heart of Venice within three and a half hours. The Waterbus provides a very affordable means of arriving in Venice from the water, along with excellent sight seeing opportunities along the way. The Hotel Al Reali was a short 5 minute walk from the Bridge, and what a Hotel, everything about the hotel was fantastic, its location, the staff, the cleanliness, our room and the fabulous food. A trip to remember and never forget. We will be going back...!!!

Wonderful stay. Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Fabio was especially helpful which we really appreciated. Perfect location - right in front of the piazza San Marco stop and close walking to everything. The room we had was in the 2nd building with a view of a church and was newly updated, comfortable, and quiet. Everything was immaculately clean. Great breakfast the next morning with a huge variety and where you can make your own fresh squeezed orange juice or even juice with carrots. We loved it and hope to stay here again.

Venice is my favorite city in the world. I go there once a year, and every time I try a new hotel, and the district depends on the season. In winter I like to be in San Marco, and this hotel is the perfect location between the touristic plaza and the Arsenale. This wonder is filled with collections of everything from corals, crucifix, screwdrivers, fans.....and these objects are part of the charms of this hotel The breakfast buffet is somptuous and the staff very kind, polite and helpful. I had a junior suite on the lagoon, with an impeccable servic and morning and night. there is a one star Michelin restaurant The Met, and the Oriental Bar where I had some drinks or dinner, in a very nice atmosphere. I would recommend this place, and I will come back another time. This place perfect for Xmas.

This is the second time I've stayed at the Lux. Right next to the Piazza San Marco, the hotel couldn't be more perfectly located. The rooms are lovely and clean with beautiful Venetian decor. The staff are friendly and helpful. We were on the top floor for the first visit, and the third for the next--there is no lift, so all those stairs may be an issue for people with lots of heavy luggage, but not a big issue for us.

Every step we were pampered. The room was perfectly cleaned, robes, slippers, heated towel rack, deep tub, and most important, a really comfortable bed! The staff was always friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was wonderful! All the basics but also smoked salmon, fresh flaky rolls and croissants. And the location, right on the canal about 5 minutes from St Marks square, is ideal.

We scheduled a last minute booking in December, if Venice had an off season it's either Dec or Jan. This place is secluded, cute, nice staff and bonus! we ended up with a gorgeous patio on a last minute booking! Plus one of the best showers we've had in all of Italy!

Fabulous and luxurious surroundings and delux room with lagoon view very spacious and clean, but could hear quite a lot of outside noise. Great hotel but very expensive!

As a single traveler, this was a perfect hotel. I felt safe and the staff spoke to me in English as my Italian is extremely limited. They were so informative. Be sure and reserve a room with a lagoon view in the main hotel. I skipped breakfast so I can't comment on that.
